What game would I love to go back and experience again for the first time?
There are a lot. I would love to enjoy Gothic & Gothic 2 again, to follow the story of the nameless, softspoken convict. It would be cool to watch an epic plot unfold as I explore the Sword Coast for the first time.
But more than anything, I would love to go back and visit Dereth the way it was years ago. I fondly remember the days when I couldn't wait to log on, just to see what kind of interesting people I would meet that session. There will never be a community like that again.
It's not so much the big things I'd like to see again (I never maxed a single character). It's the little things, like someone finally showing me the subway for the first time, or hunting for hours to get some dough and anxiously waiting at a blacksmith to finally snatch up a better weapon only to have someone else click on it right before you, or all of those hours spent talking to people from all over the world, or finally meeting some of the highest ranking players on the server.
Or the time I finally made a character on Darktide and got ripped to shreds by a gang of pricks about five seconds after entering the game world. That was a pretty intense server; it taught you survival.
When I first started WoW I tried to approach it in the same way, being social and talking to people. But most of the characters on my server were either obnoxious 13 year old pricks, or not real humans.
AC is my nostalgic game.
