I quit when the NGE hit, and came back to a free week thing. Our whole 300+ person village, spaceport, cantina, bases, etc was gone. It was depressing, that was a lot of time and memories. The ge had a lot of flaws yes, but the sense of achievement when you finally got that visit from the Old Man stays with you for a longtime. But yet I know some memories are rose tinted as it was my first MMO.
