Massive Multiplayer Online Qynt "En" Damijin

Greetings

I am Qynt, also known as Token. Like many, while playing games like the gold boxes I yearned for what would become known as an MMORPG. When I went off to college back in '96 I finally got internet! As a slap in the face, so did my parents... to email me. I was introduced to MUDs. Fantastic, but I like pretty things and although colored text helped, where was my angry dragon breathing fire!? Then Blizzard North announced Diablo. Holy crap! Yes! Then UO came out. Fast forward a few years to me getting a high speed connection and maybe Ill try this Everquest thing. Bam! 3 years later a year of my life gone. Oh 400 days /played, who knew camping my VP key would be so time intensive. I guess anyone who has camped a VP key. Without going through too much detail I played a wizard in a top tier guild raiding 8+ hours a day. I loved it. I enjoyed seeing content first, but hated being SOE play tester. Week after week throwing ourselves at an encounter while they tweaked it. So after PoP I quit. Then I picked up L2 for a little over a year. All of this while in grad school. Research on one computer MMO on the other. Yes, I am that nerdy. In L2 I met Damijin and our clan had a blast ruling the server, making sure everyone was "safe." At the time I had a 73 warlord (legitimately leveled) but was scared to do anything because death meant the loss of tens of hours grinding, not to mention putting a group together. Then I played WoW for four years, which I will no doubt rant about at some point. At this point my experience is no longer unique or interesting (I could totally start a rant here!) and I will write about it some other time. Now I play Aion, mostly because I miss L2... What will be next?
