The PvP was so deep too. You would go 4v4 or 8v8 and coordinate a “3, 2, 1 spike” on a target so that all your damage would arrive at the same time regardless of spell windup times and be too much for the other team’s healer to respond to.

Does AutoRune still work on there with auto catcher when PKing? The concept of "having catch" on another player based on player ID was just crazy. All these weird bugs that ended up being core mechanics of PKing.

I didn't do IRC until early 2000s but I felt a lot of curiosity about being online with other people: were they from an opposite corner of the world? What was life like there? How interesting that we can talk to each other! Just the ac

https://www.yourhtmlsource.com is my favorite resource from the early 2000s on how to make a website and I'm so happy it's still around. It could be modernized to teach things like viewport and whatever but I found it

Not really unfortunately. This video goes a bit into why ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-t37idOfvk ), but the short version is the skill floor (or ceiling?) was too high, making it unwelcoming for people to just pick up,

Dang, I've never heard of anyone who actually _wanted_ that behavior haha, I've had so much wasted time in school projects where I thought something was running but it wasn't because I had selected text in cmd.exe haha.
