Sadly, all of the MP characters in my sig are only alive there still,
they got lost in one or another of my forced absences from playing
online,  although the SP ones are still around here *some*where, I
just haven't played them in forever (last time I was playing SP I was
working a rotation of about 2 characters in each of three mods and the
original game, but (thankfully?) they never got high enough level to
make it into my sig).

2003 was late enough for you to have seen UT, right? Heh, I should
talk, I still haven't worked an MP character high enough to even
*think* about trying it ;-)

I rarely see anyone I know on BNet anymore, but then again I see most
of them in WoW, and I usually only play BNet on Tuesday mornings.
