Actually CL existed long before 1999 -- I know that very well. I don&#x27;t have an exact date; the &#x27;official&#x27; release date was 1998, but it was just a rubber stamp thing; it had been functioning in Beta mode for several years before that.
The release date was just a question of resetting everyone&#x27;s characters and starting again on a (must slower) experience path.
