This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

When you compare it with its competition back in 2004, it was the most casual game. Everquest, Asheron's Call, Ultima Online, Star Wars Galaxies, those were full time jobs, while WoW was "only" a part time job next to them.

Blizzard was at its peak, coming off the huge successes of Starcraft (1998), Diablo 2 (2000) and Warcraft 3 (2002), the latter of which also brought DotA thanks to the community. Hype and hopes were high.
