I started in 1.28 with N-Pulse. Loved it! My first name was Spunky. People kept killing me when I started so I tricked them and changed my name to Spanky.

From N-Pulse I went to CDA. I bugged the Head Level Maker (Cloud) to tell me how to make levels. At the time all levels were horrible. He showed me and I started messing around.

After getting hired there I started my own playerworld called "Archemedes" I finished it completely and it got passed but never put up. It was bad to todays standards.

From there I started whoring my way to playerworlds because I began to get better. I probably worked at all playerworlds during 1.41 at sometime. I went to whatever server would give me the must stuff.

After applying many times and failing miserably to be a LAT on Graal2001 I finally applied threw Stefan and got the job. Loriel said I sucked at levels at the time. =( I worked there and I began working on other projects such as Frolic/Krynn/Tempest of Time and Faheria. All servers had great potential but good help is hard to find.

I stuck around awhile with Krynn and Graal2001. At one point I was Head Level Maker for Graal2001 and jumped when Stefan told me too. I suppose from my hard work and dedication he put Krynn up as 1 of the first private servers free.

From me leaving Graal2001 and me stopping Krynn I haven't done much of anything. I am lazy and levels makers don't have the same competition with other level makers like we used to. Mmmmkay, Birdbird and Oni-Link to name a few-were great to make you think about how you are going to design a level. They left and there was no need to be creative.

I guess now all there is making levels a premium is Wan.
