I also am a fellow TSOer... I started playing in January 2003 and was there when they ruined it with EA Land and then shut it down.. Good times we had and friends I made... Joined internet radio stations and pizza marathons.. contests.. death contests.. good times. people say it failed... but couldn't have failed that much if it was around for 4/5 years? I hated second life.. no comparison to TSO .. I liked TSO because it was just a chill game while hanging out with friends. i also miss Sims 1 sometimes :)
