I do remember the feelings very well however and excitement of logging in multiple times a day to check the markets, coordinate wars, or just chat with members of my alliance. They were simpler times when I had a lot less responsibilities and freedom. I miss them so much. Its sad to think it's been 20 years... And wow how has the internet changed.

A lot has changed for me since that time. I got heavily involved in online poker in 2005, 4 years later dropped out of my PhD program in the final year, moved to a new city. I never thought I would have kids but I now have a two year old daughter. I suppose my life is pretty good.

I wish I remembered more

Solaria === Earth2025. That game was so much more populated than TEQ, but didn't have the same appeal, for whatever reason. TEQ's peak was over a thousand players (2k maybe, but ~half that were actually active). Earth2025 had tens of thousands of players, but as it turns out, half of them were HAN (Korean alliance) bots and Res Dogs multis.

Yeah, I played on both iterations of [SWAT] - Star Wars All-Stars Team. MM was a maniac, it was too much fun playing on a team led by him. As I recall, we got in epic wars every time, and still managed to compete/win the team networth title.

Banana was run by Raptor. LMO was a big part of that team.
$$$$ I remember, but don't recall who ran that one. I think Ripper was in that team for a while? I was never on either of those teams. LMO and I had a huge love-hate relationship, we loved to debate/argue on the forums about anything and everything.

And yea, the Dark Knights were one of the longest-running teams in the game. Along with RAGE.

Good times.
