Got into the beta on a demo CD that came with a computer games magazine back when I was in like 8th grade. Had fun playing it with my friends, enough so to buy it, but I was on a 28.8 modem on AOL at the time so my lag wasn't great. I had fun but was never that addicted, never even joined a squad and if leagues existed I wasn't aware of them, I just played for the top scores on the VIE website, which became pointless once they started resetting them every month or so and I quit.
But then freshman year of college a roommate of mine was playing it and got 7 other guys on our floor playing it. I told them at the time "Oh that game is fun, but you'll be bored of it in 2 weeks, trust me. After awhile it just gets repetitive". After they didn't quit, they needed an 8th to form a squad, Beatdown Brigade, so I got brought back into the game. Ended up taking me about 5 years to finally get bored with the game. A bit more than the 2 weeks that I predicted.
