    When I was first playing Everquest 1, back when it launched, it would tell you, every so often that your data has been saved. I remember me and a few other people were trying to figure out how to save to finally figure out that the game was auto saving.

    Cool bit of trivia, EQ1 used an interval to save your data (it worked even if you DC'd as your "character" was still in memory). However, if the server was brought down (or crashed in rare cases) everything you did during the interval (experience, items acquired, money acquired) got rolled back. However, item transfer caused a forced saved. IE, trade an item or some money to a friend and both your character's states got saved. So when the server was coming down for maintenance, trade someone a copper piece to insure you don't get rolled back if you decided to keep leveling right up to the last minute.
