Started in Dec 2005 after being coaxed by a friend to try it. I had previously been on a game that shut down (Motor City Online) which was also devastating and I was apprehensive to start another MMO. Since I had already been through a shutdown once, I knew what to expect when City would power down. I started playing Neverwinter. When Homecoming started, I stopped playing NW, it was no comparison. I recreated my main avatar from live, Phrendon Largo, eventually on 4 of the 5 servers. A tanker with different power sets on each of the servers, but with the same costumes. I settled on one which I never change now. I visited all my favorite zones for the sights and music, teamed, soloed, learned how to farm for influence, and eventually created new characters which owe their prosperity to Phrendon and his enormous giving heart.
