Wow, lol that was a very interesting read, so amazing how much changed from then to when it was released to well now. I'm still amazing that it did so well and has lasted so long, when I first saw it on a friends computer in first year, I passed over it saying I'd probably never like it (was into CS and AoE at the time). Now I'm still playing and most of my friends that couldn't stop talking about it back then have long since quit.
Funny stuff
