Ooops a little late posting/voting, but never mind
OB1 oldie here, started playing the day the Beta hit fileplanet (early March 04 IIRC). Played almost constantly until Beta was closed, but didn't go for FBT or OB2 due to RL issues and lack of free time.
Started playing release in November, and again played 90% of my spare time until late March/early April. At that point I started my 'break', and have been playing the W game up until 2 weeks ago. More annoyed with my relative situation compared to other players and my guildmates than the game itself, I find myself back at Ryzom's door again.
My sub has been open since early November 04.
