Daniel S. ReichenbachSometimes I worry. Like I am not doing enough. The things I built were used by millions of people and I still feel small. Yet I travel all over the world and people use my stuff.
But I still feel small
I started and maintained #MaNGOS for 15 years. Hundreds of thousands of people played #workdofwarcraft at home in private.
Henry Henderson@danielsreichenbach Try millions… I saw a documentary on Cuba some 13 years ago about how people would sneak USBs into the country full of the latest TV shows and movies and how they had strung together enough computers to form a private network. In that video there was a clip of someone playing WotLK… They’d managed to have their own literally “private” server for some section of the country. Blew my mind. So many people got access to that game where it wasn’t supported, or too expensive.
@danielsreichenbach And FWIW, I know I'm not the only kid you inspired to go into software as a hobby/career. I joined the MaNGOS forums nearly 20 years ago and it opened a whole world to me, and forever changed my life in countless ways. The path it took me on, the friends I made, etc... It all started with MaNGOS. To this day I still love dabbling in WoW emu stuff. It's a passion that will never die, I don't think.
@henryhenderson glad to hear 😊 I hope a little slice of happy gonna stay forever
