    I was nine years old and living in California, watching reboot and the starship troopers cartoon and playing handball (wallball) and game gear while children in Japan were hospitalized for seizures while watching Pokemon.

    Oh Porygon episode....

    I was 18 and graduated High school 16 years ago, May 1997 in a small town called Winchester, TN where Dinah Shore was born.

    Oh, I almost forgot about FF7...I stayed up two days straight playing that the very first day it came out.

    I feel old.

    16 years ago. was 20, married, child one was here, child two was on the way, and was in the midst of writing my first fantasy novel. Was just starting to get into muds around that time, Strange I only started playing IRE this year after being away from muds for 6 years.

    I was 12 and had recently discovered the internet as a place where a treasure trove of bookworms, geeks, and the 1990's equivalent of the Browncoat existed.

    Sixteen years ago I was 7 of age. I managed to shrug off all my health issues, pneumonia, meningitis, hepatitis, mild episodes of heart on lung failure. I would go into 'stasis' for days, not being able to talk or move, just blinking to communicate with my parents. When I turned seven, everything seemed to turn to normal. Been up and kicking, got my college degree in finances, about to move with my girlfriend in the capital city of my country. Things are going well.

    Uh...16 years ago? I think I was 8, which would put me in middle-of-nowhere Arizona, trying to avoid stepping on anymore rattlesnakes or aggravating anymore javelinas.

    Age five, second grade, busy playing Playstation games without a memory card, which, in retrospect, was probably what made me patient with games, seeing as I had to start over with every game every time I played.

    I still had strict limits of 30 minutes of TV or video games per day, too, and was just about to graduate to Starcraft.


    And pokemon. What kid didn't play pokemon?

    7. Dealing pokemon cards at school. Oh, and Street Fighter and this racing game called Burning Road.  Being called squirrel, and looking ridiculous in cowboy outfits during school picture days (thanks mom!).

    I didn't. I never really learned anything about it until I got to college.

    I was probably 10 and in the front yard with a stick pretending I was a samurai. Not much has changed, haha.
    Me and my brothers would do pretty much the same, acting out Chrono Cross battles.

    Sixteen years ago I was 16.  I played DragonRealms at the time and played it since it came out.  I got banned from there for selling plats.  A few years later, I was looking for a new mud to play and Imperian landed me with IRE.  Growing up in the mid 90s, it was easy to be a script kid - mudding was the next, legal step.

    Oddly enough, heard about DR from my gf's parents. They used to play it every hour of the day until her mom died in a car accident. They said it was one of the better muds supposedly.

    At twelve I left Indiana for Kansas, had the end of a bunch of friendships as well as a two years long doomed crush I had on an exchange student that was living in the house who was eight years older than me and when I ended up in a new place without any friends for the third time in three years I started in on online message boards.

    Based on the descriptions of several of the vanity pets, I'm not convinced that Pokemon aren't already in Imperian.
  • GurnGurn Member Posts: 789 ✭✭✭✭
    Just imagine how much more artifact pets would go for if that were added.
