I first logged into CoM while I was in high school. I graduated and moved out on my own. I still played CoM. I've continued moving around for 12 years now, coast to coast and voyages around the world. I haven't lived in the same place for more than a year. But, I still have a character that I log hours on.

I say this because one thing in my life has remained consistent, despite there being breaks in playtime, and that is Cities of M'Dhoria.

The staff has changed a great many times throughout the years. Even to include myself a few years ago. I probably stopped playing around the same time that a good chunk of players did, right before it closed for a bit. A few years later, I head it was up and running. So, I rolled up some stats and made a character. And, everything came back to me. I loved it.

My travels took me elsewhere and I left once again. Then I returned once again. And, it had changed even more, but in such an amazing manner. I was hooked once more.

I completely love the staff of CoM. They put so much work into this game and make it such an amazing experience. I don't even know how people find out about MUDs these days, but I'm glad they still do. The playerbase is a bit smaller than what it used to be, but it's full of some really strong players that bring everyone around them up to par and speed.

Was this more of a sentimental, sappy comment on my past? Yes. Completely. I just felt the need to share why I still play here and why I get happy when I see a new player log on. I'd like to think that one of you will read this and get what I'm saying. I'm certain that if you do, you'll love it here.
