A friend of mine kept bugging me to play this game he'd gotten into -- Dark Age of Camelot. Being a pen and paper roleplayer from back in the day and having dabbled a bit in MUDs, I thought the idea of an online RPG was really appealing... but I initially balked at the monthly fee. Or, rather, my wife balked at the monthly fee, so I forgot about it for a while.

One night, after a huge fight with the missus, I found myself in Wal-mart on a diaper-purchasing mission. I saw DAoC on the shelf. I scooped it up and brought it home. So, thanks to my friend and my passive-aggressive need to spite the missus, I got into MMORPGs. :)

I played DAoC for about two, but I started hopping around to see what else was out there. I'm a still something of a hopper today -- I get bored very easily. I've played almost every major MMO there is. Unless I find a good group of folks to play with, I don't stay tied down if the game isn't satisfying me.
