I will start by saying that I actually started my journey in Entropia back when it was in beta in 2002 ish just before it went gold. So I have been someone who has played on and off for all these years.
I lost access to my original account due to a PC crash and then forgot my password for my email account and it had no backup so I basically lost it fully when I finally got a new pc again. Took a while due to real life struggles at that time too. Anyway I have always called this game home and I always come back to it after long breaks. The breaks I had varied from weeks to months or in a couple of instances a year or two.
When I first started in around 2002 I was a non depositor so I just started by sweating and helping other players etc by offering services then once I built some peds I started buying and selling and became a trader and I got pretty wealthy. Even was one of the first people to buy one of those shop stalls that I did a partnership with a friend at that time.
Anyway then I stopped when I had that crash and then did not play for years after that because I was so gutted I lost the account with everything on it and lost access to my email address. So in 2010 I just could not be away from the game anymore so I created my now current account. So I have had this account now for nearly 16 years. I did keep upto date with the update history and changes during my time that I chose not to make an account and play again though.
I made the decision because of all the changes to just go straight ahead and be a depositing player, so I started as a miner then moved to doing some crafting etc then moved onto hunting about 7 or so years ago.
I have so many memories that I will share in the future and so many fun times. So until my next story. seeya in game maybe.
