This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Growing up in south America and the only thing with local servers were things that could be community hosted like counter strike 1.6 and mu online. 250 ping on every online game wasn't fun
I remember the dial up only servers for CS, it was great because everybody had a shit connection
What MMO has you "join[ing] the closest game"
Gunbound jumps to mind for me, back in the day I would be the one to screw up the rooms ping.
I don't keep up MMOs anymore, but i know GuildWars2 the game is divided in areas and each area can have multiple instances, much like a room would work on that context. Perhaps they played a similar game with extra information to choose the best room for you.
Or it's the looser definition that's sort of taken hold over the years to mean any multiplayer game
