I played TSO from Dec 2002 till sometime in 2008. I quit before it switched to EA Land. My sim was MrX in Dan's Grove. My house was X's Skillatorium. I did have many friends and it was the people and chats and contests that made the game interesting. I still play original sims, but it's not the same without the REAL people. I made one special friend that I still keep in contact with and we've been friends over ten years. I ended up introducing her to a guy I played Everquest with, and now my two best game buddies (from different games) are married. He showed her Everquest, but TSO is long gone. I'd pay to play it again. Fo sho. My sim was over a thousand days old.
