I started D&D gaming around 1977 (IIRC). It was just before Gygax filed copyrights. A year or two before that, the first ever 'gamer' I met was a young submarine sailer. He traveled with a briefcase filled with dice, miniatures, attack tables, and character sheets. He launched into a long soliloquy about the life histories of his characters. I thought he was crazy. Now I would not.
In 1972, we played "Startrek" on the PDP 10. The system operators periodically deleted all the files they could find. I have played dozens of computer RPGs starting with Zork, and "Wizardry" around 1983. I am now a confirmed Elder Scrolls addict. I am afraid to think how many hours I have spent. When the new edition is released this November, I expect I'll be off-line (except to game forums) for a week or two.
I have never found playing in an on-line MUD satisfactory. I have tried a few- not WoW however.
