Do I count as an old fart?

I just remember trudging through novicehood and early village influencing.
Then there was the Gorgulufaeoncrack epidemic.
Then the one night/day where I stayed on for 14 hours straight bashing a fully loaded Sagittarius.
My first kill (Lucy) when I happened to mis step onto Earth while exploring one day.
Killing Erion repeatedly, arranging a duel on Earth, killing him fair and square, and then having Kaervas enemy and jump me. Jerk. mellow.gif
Then it all starts to blend together...

EDIT: Oh, and having Jelani and Malicia around all the time. sad.gif

Not unless you've been around for a lot longer then I think you have.

Namely, you weren't on my radar before I went inactive, around the creation of Glomdoring.

Getting enemied to magnagora for killing a child in Delport (when they had it) yet not getting enemied to Delport. And the subsequent deaths to big bad Brona because he could. Thus is the story of how I was actually enemied to Magnagora.

That's the first thing of subnificance I remember. rolleyes.gif

I think I count as old.. ish.. maybe

Oh wait I got a better one. After creation I went and got lost in the inner sea and attacked a dolphin so I could die and be returned to the portal (I didn't know about portals) Then I got chewed out about it.

Oh, I'm way older than Glomdoring.

I remember being one of the two actively selling trans alchemists and artificially inflating market prices based on Selthar's mood (if Selthar was in a good mood, he got cocky and prices went up, if Selthar was in a bad mood, he raised prices out of spite), trade bans with Magnagora that I was pissed off at (they were Selthar's best customers!), coming out of the portal fifteen minutes before the official "opening time" (and earning a permanent 25th of Estarr birthdate due to a bug dry.gif ), and LARGE QUANTITIES OF ACTIVE HERBALISTS WHO WOULD SELL ME TONS OF HERBS FOR CHEAP. HINT HINT.

Well I do remember a few things back when I was still known as Iskan...

Such a newb I was, I remember shouting over the city about me going to graduate from novicehood in CT saying, "2 hours before graduation, yehay!" over and over until I was considered Insane (yes, that's what you are called before Insanity became an affliction when you stay in Astral to much) by Lord Hajamin and cursed me for I think 2 OOC days and extended my graduation to 10 hours, then called Morik and Vanthan and explained what's going on and they told me to be -in- the game and not saying such Out of Character things.

Then Lord Hajamin understood then relieved me from his curse from 2 days to 2 hours then from my graduation, 5 hours extention instead of 10. Ahh... those were the days.

And from that day onward I was able to play as if I was really into the world of Lusternia! Thank's Morik and Vanthan! happy.gif

EDIT: Ack, and Lord Hajamin too! laugh.gif

I'm not as old as ya'll, starting just after the tainted fae event, but still.

I remember pulling 30 hour days killing tentacles and astral mobs in a party with 10-30 other people (including Daevos and Daganev) during the Kethuru event, and how fun that was, even when I kept falling asleep while trying to bash my attack macro.

I remember stealing furrikin back from the furrikin thief Ashteru with Aerenna.

I remember getting GR3 in Lusternia at the same time as getting GR2 in Achaea, except it took me three ooc days of trying here and an ooc year of trying there.

I remember when, in a moment of anger, I yelled at Lisaera through a snide bug report, and wishing I could take it back just after submitting it dry.gif Pretty sure she's hated me with just cause ever since then tongue.gif

Yeah... and we got favours for it because it was "non-violent". The reason why I simply didn't kill Ashy was that I didn't want to get enemied to Magnagora. Because I wasn't at that time.

Neither was I. We were sitting in the lich gate next to like, 20 magnagoran guards while trying to pookaforce a magnagoran though. I kept waiting to be enemied and die instantly tongue.gif

I remember hanging out in Estelbar with Ibby, rescuing furrikin, back before we both got into politics.

-nostalgia-

I really should come back. sad.gif
Marcalo2006-05-10 05:16:48
I remeber marcalo's first player kill Visaeris. I remeber his time as a seren, and when he first went to mag.
I remeber my very first character defending celest against mag raiders and killing chade and then trying to act all tough and getting killed like 5 times.
Ashteru2006-05-10 07:48:40
Weeh.That was when I was still a newbie and even the first time I was in Mag. Good times. *daydream*
Then I 'betrayed' Mag, went to Celest, got bored with the light, went to Seren, got pissed at Moondancers, went to Mag to wait until I got unenemied to Glom, joined Glom, became a guy who is even called 'Sir' by younger members ( Weeeh) and well.....dunno.

And I remember that pookathing. I kept sitting down so that you couldn't force me to move. biggrin.gif
And I remember how I yelled for help on Magaether, and no one came. ^^"
Unknown2006-05-10 08:03:07
I've been here so long I don't remember the start tongue.gif.

I THINK I was around when the Moondancers guildhall had no door, or something like that. That sound familiar. Heh.

Oh and when Tuek was Champion. I liked Tuek, he killed people when I said I was being harassed by them tongue.gif

Spending almost 24 straight hours guarding colts, bringing them back to their safe hiding place three times an hour, most of that time doing it alone (having to find grass and colts and bring them back and also guard the ones still there simultaneously), and then losing one anyway because a bundle of grass mysteriously decayed in my hands a good five minutes before it was scheduled to, at the very instant I was handing it to a colt, at the same instant Thorgal was unghosting in front of it.
tsaephai2006-05-10 13:47:22
What about when there was no stables? Or when we finally got our skills to influence villages?

Evil plot by Thorgal, the grass stealing ghost! ohmy.gif

I remember Gwylifar showing Shorlen how to take care of the snakes when I was a complete and total newbie. I also remember running around frantically with you right after the Kethuru event trying to ressurect the White Hart and relight the Flame of Glinshari. Even though it was a chore, it was fun to me. We were actually doing something that would make a difference, or so it felt.

That was also when Shorlen met Tsuki, long before she stopped speaking to him sad.gif

I remember having just graduated novicehood in the Geos when we went out of beta. I gained 50 credits (I believe it was 50?), which was more lessons than I had ever had - even in Achaea up to that time, sine I always started new characters before I got far. I remember watching Val die over and over to steel goats, which for some reason he still loved fighting. Then I quit and went to the Nihilists, where I started learning to fight. I remember raiding Celestia with Val, Valek, Chade, and clan and killing every angel with no opposition - save Geb, who popped up every once in awhile and hid in the sky until someone got separated.

I also remember trying to raid Estelbar, and earning my first enemy status to the Serenwilde - it was Ibaesha who enemied me I think. I was immediately wisped and killed, but I still felt tough if Serenwilde considered me enough of a threat to kill me!
Unknown2006-05-10 17:20:38
It was 75, actually. Heh, most credits I ever had at one time! Yeah, I can't quite remember then name of my first char... but she was in the Celestines, back during Beta, when everyone in Celest was manic about killing starsuckers and beating of Mags. There was next to no clothing around, not for sale anyways, and when the villages came up for influencing, all of the tailors and jewelers set about making stuff for the influences so they didn't look poor.
