Another DR lover here, I got hooked on it by my cousin back in the AOL days, and somehow finagled the cash from the parents to play it when it moved to the web. I don't exactly remember the circle of my Moonie (Aredan Krov) when I left, mid-upper 40's, and i had a near 40 Paladin as well.
My favorite thing about DR was all the lore and backstory in the game, I think I read every single book in every single libarary.
The random name generator in DR, which I used to name my Paladin, is where I got this username as well, totally unique and able to fit into both Fantasy and Sci-Fi type games, so it's had lasting effects even if I haven't played it in years.
