Before finding her true MMO calling, Andrea Shearon dabbled in games like RuneScape and Graal Online as a child. However, it was Priston Tale that marked her true gateway into the genre. After a failed attempt to convince her mother to purchase Final Fantasy 11, Shearon found herself playing Priston Tale, a game whose Western release had been in beta for an extended period.
During this time, Shearon played as an Archer, often struggling with the game's performance on her limited hardware. Despite the technical challenges, she has fond memories of engaging in strategic debates with older players within the game's arena mode, 'Survive or Die.' She even recalls a dedicated thread on an old fan forum where players complained about her character.
Shearon created several characters in Priston Tale before the game's eventual transition to Suba Games. While her original character, Rennyfuu, is likely long gone, Shearon occasionally contemplates returning to the game for a visit, acknowledging her past as a disruptive force in the game's community.
