There were LG Interactives in 2000 - in fact, the very first LG event, Legacy of Valor, was actually a pre-LG event to kick off the campaign. It took place in Geoff and was an incredible battle interactive (including an incredible exodus from the capital of Gorna and determined the fate of many NPCs and factions and gave birth to Legacy descendents that were amongst the most active players for years). The first LG interactive I attended was in 2001, though I missed several that had taken place before I became an addict!That doesn't mean everyone was aware of interactives. Some gamers never go to cons. And, for sure, Arcanis was very influential in certain styles of battle interactives. The idea of PCs nominating themselves for suicide missions was likely first seen with Arcanis! And I think the scale of some BIs seen at Origins or Gen Con was very influential - particularly because some LG admins played Arcanis (they couldn't play LG while being an admin). No slight meant! Arcanis is clearly doing things well, since several of my DC-area friends are playing again. I'll be playing as soon as I get a chance!</blockquote>
