The one I used to play was Distant Lands.  It wasn't too bad actually, but I ended up chatting for ages and only got to about level 60 or so (plus I had about 5 other characters too).  Then I stopped playing it for ages, my character got wiped and eventually I started again and I've since quit again.  It's too time consuming and less and less people played it.  The sad thing is, my character was in a guild and had a wedding planned with another character, when I quit, so I'm not sure what came of everything. Talk about sad! I don't like Billie Piper at all.  She's not even that attractive.  I think it's partly because she's from my home town and partly because she was married to that talentless idiot, Chris Evans. Torchwood looks much more interesting, but I doubt I'll watch it. I used to watch the old Dr. Who's with Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred in the 1980s.

Yeah, when I first started playing Aldebaran I didn't know anyone so I spent most of my time advancing levels, but after a while I got lazy and just spent the majority of my time socializing with other players. I never made it to level 100, only 98 was the highest I got I think. Then I died and lost a whole bunch of levels.

As for the whole MUD marriage thing, I got married to the same character about 5 times, I kept on committing suicide to get out of the marriage.

As for Billie Piper, didn't she record an album? I swear I saw her in a music video and it was pretty sad. It was like she was trying to emulate Mariah Carey.

I wish she was a porn star. That I would find acceptable.

Nice shed! I'm very envious of you! 

As for where it is, I have no idea! I'm guessing somewhere in the United Kingdom?

Is it across from that tea shop where all the grannies go?

Can we move on to garages now?

Well I used to have two, one containing a trailer and the other two motorbikes and nameless other junk.  Now I have no garage, hence the two sheds.
