Writing Telemate scripts to automatically play MajorMUD for me while I was AFK is how I got started with programming! I got to the point where I was distributing my scripts via a forum on a board I played on, and I even got contributions back from a couple people. Definitely a lot of fond memories there.

Yes, programming macros was exciting (too) because it gave you a competitive advantage and opened the door to a lot of creativity.
Me too! In fact I doubt i would be a developer today without MajorMUD and Telemate!
