Back in the "days before time" (or, at least, before BYOND Time existed), it was basically a handful of game creators on the forums and creating games for each others, with no players around.

I remember when we were hanging around in a game lobby, and we were all completely shocked when someone we didn't know logged into the game. Holy crap!

For me, the "good old days" would have to be when my horrible little game Raegon was in its primetime, having a constant of 40 whole players online at once. Having these unknown people coming onto this game of mine I created and complimenting me on a fun game made me feel like king of the world.

Even today I get pages from random people telling me my game is good (although I can't see why they'd say that), and it just warms my heart a little to think that someone actually enjoys what I've made.

That's part of the awesomeness of BYOND. Even when I was that young and dumb(~3 years ago <_<), I could create something people enjoyed. It had always been my dream to be able to create a video game, and it had already come true here.

Ever since then, even though I rarely make myself seen, I visit BYOND daily just to see what's new and relive old memories.

Good times...
