Hey no worries! Thats what I get for launching head first into the action. Typical of me. My wife doesn't like that aspect of me too much. Hey I want to build something! Go buy supplies, start building, no design work, to make it on the fly. All those years playing with legos. I'll figure out a way to make it, just give me a minute.
Anyways, yes. Aelyria claims to be the origonal pbp. I don't know how true that statement is, but they have been around a long time. The Creator of Aelyria, Kaelon, started the realm of aelyria off in his basement in the form of a D&D campaign, back in the 80's apparently, but I don't think that is where they are starting their time clock from.
But in aelyria I've been a city moderator for five different cities, running multiple plot lines at a time. I stopped moderating there because of... politics, we can leave it at that. Not that it was an issue on rules, just an issue of opinions and respect. I still play there, when you've been playing the same character for 14 years its as much a part of you as your middle name. Not sure I'll ever let ol' Zim Rage die off.
