As most of you know, I played TSO (The Sims Online) for a while, not long, only about 6 months, but I made a lot of friends and kick started my online DJing career. I met was what my closest friend in game, who also happened to live in Australia (on the other side of it however ;) ) but over all I had a good time. I became number 4 over all with my house ranking (that means I was like super popular), I married ingame... no... wait, actually I was meant to be married in game but cheated on him on my hens night, deleted my character and started again under a new identity (yes that is said with sarcrasm... looking back now you just have to laugh), and I met some fantastic people who I still talk to now. *waves at Mikey B* Oh and I even had a stalker!
Sandra from Dan’s Grove has made a very touching video expressing the sadness inherent in seeing all of her friends leave for other MMORPGs – There, Lineage, SWG, WoW, etc. If you know what TSO is, or played it, have a look at this video. I know what's it's like to have friends leave online games, I experienced it in EQ, TSO and more...

Of course the saddest part was that Sandra went to Star Wars Galaxies
