My Experience with MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game), I think this is a very good one for a first blog.

My first PC?!

I’ve been playing games for quite some time now. I will say the early 80’s. At that time, I had a very nice “PC” for Christmass an Amstrad CPC 464! I even had the COLOR one can you believe it? It was amazing, you can play and even doing some BASIC programming. You did load a game, you crash your plane and you had to reload again the game… We were talking about 5 minutes to play, and 30 minutes to load the game. On the top, you just pray that the tape was still in good shape !!! That was fun.

Lest get into the real world:

My first real PC reach home in 1993 I guess. It was supposed to help me at school and solely used for my school papers. Or at least, that was the story I told my parents. In reality that was an awesome gaming PC! We started having CD-ROM  but we still have floppies.  That was a Let me try to dig into my aging memory. So far what I can remember it was in 19918 .. wow … that a long time ago. I remember spending hours on it, playing some formula 1 game, where I tried to save a second per LAP. Changing tires, changing gears, reducing the drag of my car …

First encounter with MMORPS:

Now let’s talk about the BIG thing MMORPG. In early 2000, as part of my “University” scholarship, I went to Oklahoma City for 4 months as a trainee. And, one of the girl at the office was spending big time on EVERQUEST! I remember seeing her play. That was very fun. the design of the game was: interesting! A lot of Pixels, not that nice to watch. But I remember seeing her coming tired the day after and drinking a lot of coffee during the day.
