I agree, although I'm older. For me it was the Battletech 3056 MUSE. I was in charge of a major faction (for BT folks, I was Thomas Marik). It was more than a 40 hour job, and on top of that I both had to still be a college student and maintain my secret character for fun having purposes. I managed a group of people which at the time seemed huge (still large by modern guild standards, but not enormous), complete with resource management, politics (who gets the good stuff?), etc. It taught me a lot, although it did lead to lesser grades at the time. And really, that taught me a lot too :)

Wow, I played 3056 too (and a few of the other servers that were running at the time). I was briefly head of Kurita, but that happened just as I was transitioning out of college and into working so I had to hand it off pretty quickly. Mostly what I did was training new people in our pilot school, and we had a fun roleplaying based approach to it. I spend a lot of time at work helping people out too, I think it's just an expression of my personality no matter what the situation is. I had a lot of fun playing that game. I think one of the highlights was one of the server-wide tournaments that was run, with the prizes being "legendary" character names (and stats). I almost won that. In one of the final rounds, my opponent fell into a hole on a treacherous map with level 9 cliffs on it before a single shot was fired. I took a "role playing" approach to it and allowed him to restart because it wasn't an honorable win. I was winning the re-match until I got taken out by a BS engine crit. Oh well.

  I enjoyed playing Kurita when I first started (right around the time they got their own server), and yes it was def the most RP heavy. I eventually stopped playing there because my char was female and there was some dude who clearly didn't understand char != real life and kept bugging me. C'est la vie! To my knowledge I was the 2nd Thomas Marik and stuck around almost to the end. It was really too bad that game never really got off the ground, but it was way too ambitious.
