I don't think I'll beat that amount of dedication in a game ever again. I was a young teenager when I started playing this game which had eaten all my social life... Guess it is part of me.
Last week I felt some nostalgia and reinstalled the game after ~18 years without touching it. It's crazy that my character is still there on some server (even if no subscription was paid for all those years), more or less in the state I left it the last time I logged-out years ago. The guild has been erased, but the friend list is still there as a reminder of those past friendships, none of them logged-in of course...
Fun fact, my parents refused to pay for the game at that time, so I started playing on the account of a friend, from which I later bought the game second-hand. The login still contains his name, and I think that's the oldest login/password I have a trace for.
(Game is Dark Age of Camelot)
For 280GB on Glacier : around 1 USD each month For 400GB of hot storage on OVH public cloud : around 5 EUR per month.
In my process I have to sort pictures and video before sending them to cold storage because I don’t want to cold-store all the failed footages, obviously I have some delay here. That is something I usually do during the long winter evenings 😊
