Got the demo on a games magazine DVD around February/March '03, played it for maybe 50 hours. When the game was released, I couldn't afford it, but I could in May '03. Bought it, started the campaign at 7 PM, finished it 6 AM. It was the first day of some school holidays... of course I did little else with them. Never had Internet access on my own computer until August '09 and started playing online the same week.
