Mine is actually a kind of interesting story; when I was in 5th grade, I downloaded a program called
Mac Game Maker and started making games with that. Then I started playing RuneScape, and learned basic HTML, PHP, any MySQL and made a kind of Neopets clone. Then I saw the video on YouTube of Durial321 killing people in Falador after the release of construction, and there was a suggested video in the side of a private server. So I clicked on it, and was amazed at how people were opening the bank from anywhere and lots of other crazy stuff!
So then, I signed up on MoparScape and started downloading a bunch of servers, and created WorldScape while teaching myself Java!
