i find it slightly crazy that we all were that into it, and that virtually none of us play anymore.

like, MouseHunt is way way stupider than HSX, and I have a hard time picturing a mass MouseHunt quit, even.

I was really into during college, and when it went orange, I literally cold turkey-ed it in a week. -- nm - MDH Apr 5, 13:52
I was still playing until they upped the number of shares. - Diva Apr 5, 13:48 3
- too bad they didn't have an option: "e-mail Support to max all your shares" -- nm - TFox Apr 5, 13:50 2
  - if they really had that and I didn't know i'm going to start laughing. -- nm - Diva Apr 5, 13:53 1
    - i wouldn't know; i haven't been back to check. - TFox Apr 5, 13:55
If they hadn't changed the game basics around, I'd be playing still quite a lot - Will Hunting Apr 5, 13:42 2
- that plus the removal of comm free saturdays. I used to buy stocks in coded amounts, the last couple numbers would tell me which month to look at it - zeitgeist Apr 5, 13:46 1
  - No codes needed for me. Buy max -- check to see if it's a loser or a winner. - Will Hunting Apr 5, 13:48
well they oranged it all up - quite an easy decision and I played for 10 years - Epiphany Apr 5, 13:41 11
- It was definitely the Orangening for me -- nm - con_carne Apr 5, 14:11
- i trickled off more than anything. but for years i cared *DEEPLY*. -- nm - Andie Apr 5, 13:42 9
  - how many other things did we work on that hard for that long, and then just... drop? -- nm - TFox Apr 5, 13:44 8
    - I guess I didn't work as hard as some of you. Just got bored. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 13:50
    - nothing - I got nothing like that. I made peace with it though - I was always going to quit, they made me do it sooner than planned -- nm - Epiphany Apr 5, 13:48
    - my photog career -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 5, 13:47
    - it is pretty insane. and that is was just massively widespread. -- nm - Andie Apr 5, 13:45 3
      - If they didn't change, I have little doubt I'd still be there. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 5, 13:47 2
        
        yep. it would have been unlikely for me to completely leave behind something to which I'd given so much time/effort. -- nm - b. Apr 5, 14:12
        
        I really stopped playing full time by 2002 -- nm - amoxy Apr 5, 14:09
    - SimSports for me. ... I played pretty religiously for 4 years there, and then, just didn't. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 5, 13:45
