When and how did you find out about Star Sonata?

Friend told me about it.

A friend from school told me how cool it was and I started playing with another friend. We spent the first day of our SS career mining astroids in Free Market to be able to purchase a Helga

In the end the person that invited me to the game quit after being a lvl 20 F2P for a while, the other friend stopped when he was in a Didus Ineptus (tits ) so...... here I am!

mmorpg.com list

An ad with an Inferno on it, on another space game.

spaceo.net

It's still running.

my brother use to play, i use to make fun of him for playing. Then one day i was bored enough to play on his account, i took saftey off and started shooting people in sol. The rest is history.

I searched for Multiplayer Escape Velocity back in 2005.

I found ss linked on one of those mmorpg list sites. dont remember which one.

This, plus 2d isometric / top down space game trading and combat. I gotta say I'm super happy with the find, but Star Sonata is not very easy to find with those key words. And there are not any alternatives as far as I know, not as good as Star Sonata at least.

I searched for "churchill is a prick" looking for a school project on the downfalls of the great British leader, how surprised was I when I came across the game in results

In the past I played several MMORPGs (OS Runescape ftw!), simulation games (Simutrans/Transport Tycoon Deluxe/RCT1-2 (3 came out like 5 years after I started SS)). And I always was into space stuff.
So at some point I asked the great library of the internets (Google, not wikipedia!) of some good "Space trading game". Finding back then SS on top of the first page.

That was I think 2003-2004. Lost my progress (lvl 5?) and came back once every few weeks to start over again, being frustrated because I didn't understand much (starting in sol, no instructions to an 11 year old, never ends well). Later the Nexus was the first beginning and I started to understand SS a lot more. made my first 1m in Preload trading silicon and microchips. Then doing the prom mission for an extra boost, got a Bulk trader and it got even faster. Later trading prom in W0, FM to 5j away. Finding out a Bulk II wasn't the best option if you are short on time. Basicaly gained 50m in 1 hour, then bought all the prom I could and parents told me to get of and the next day it all decayed...
Had quit like 10 times from that alone.

rip lol
