Neverwinter Nights

I played this a lot. There is one thing I remember. It was on Promenade not AOL originally. On Promenade it was free to play. Promenade became AOL or bought out by AOL. AOL started to charge a monthly fee to play. Game sorta died for me at that point. I started what I believe to be kinda the first guild in an mmo. We were called "Sewer Rats." The sewer entrance had this nasty fight with Golems. You could que to join the fight the fight that was already full of players. And the battle would continue as long as people were alive in the que. No matter, how many characters died during the fight. People would die, have enough time to make it back and que again. This assured eventual victory. And we would split the rewards among everyone taking part. Sometimes characters might die 10 or more times before being able to bring down those golems.

Actually when you died you were sent to the "gate" (entrance to the area you were in), you didn't have to create a new screen name or character. I was a "NW" (Staff) for a time and actually trained NW Snowe and knew her personally. Kind of cool looking back, all the acronyms that are commonly used today on the internet we created back then. Ah the days of dial up. lol

It was a blast, when you died on AOL playing Neverwinter Nights you had to delete the aol screen name and make a new name to log in with a new character. Had GM named Snowie. Was cool trying not to die. Shame when it was removed about 1997-ish.
