bummer mik!!! had thought you would outlast me here :-(

I got the 'register' button this morning, the first I have ever seen,
and to tell you the truth, it caused me to start thinking about if I
will renew.

I hope I count as an "oldtimer." :) My citizen number is 92986 and I've
been here since late 1995, but didn't officially "register" until Aug
15, 1996 (I went by a different name back then). Although, my total time
online is only about 40 days, according to the AWB.

I forget exactly how I first heard of AW, but I think it was mentioned
long ago on an old computer-related TV show. As for my username
Builderz, I think I originally tried Builder (since I enjoyed building
at the time), but it was already taken. So I simply added a 'z' at the
end of it (can't remember why I did) and that was that. I used to build
a lot in the past, but nowadays I mainly focus on providing AW hosting
(see my link near the bottom of the post for more on that).

I could go on and on about stories back from my "hey day" in AW, but
I'll just point out a few interesting/funny things:

1. When COF was in the process of "acquiring" Worlds, Inc., certain
things were delayed due to the transition. I had a trial world at the
time and got an extra two months out of it due to the change of hands,
which I thought was pretty cool.

2. Protagonist (one of the main people behind AW) visited my trial world
once. We chatted for about five minutes and I still have screenshots
of it somewhere. While it may not seem like much now, I was thrilled at
the time.

3. I e-mailed Roland (who is now at Maxis I think) about a world server
problem and helped him fix an issue with the uniserver and world servers
running on high port numbers. I think this was before the beta program
existed.

4. One of the first things I did (after honing my building skills) was
to discover the Wildwest world. For those that don't know, almost every
user there gets a ton of rights (build, ED, etc). But back then, I just
assumed someone had forgotten about their world, misconfigured it, and
decided to use it to build in.

So myself and a few good friends spent an entire week building a large
underground city there -- only to find out after the fact that everyone
else had the same rights as us! So someone came in, found it, and
deleted 75% of the city (wrecking the entire project). That was one of
classic AW mistakes. :)

5. I went on a real life date with someone I met in AW from another
state. We broke off the relationship a few months later, but I never
would have imagined I would end up going on a date with another AW user
when I first started using the program. :)

6. Last (but not least) I remember all of the great parties in AW by so
many talented people (take Just In and OneSummer, for example). Whoever
says that they are bored in AW obviously hasn't found the right places
to hang out yet. I remember attending some "virtual parties" until my
eyes were bloodshot and I couldn't read the scrolling chat text anymore.

Okay, I think I might have gone on a tangent just a bit. ;) Any other
"AW oldtimers" care to jump in?
