Remember when...
« on: May 14, 2008, 07:25:56 PM »
I remember when...

... Ult+ wasn't even an idea yet.

... Scent gave a location instead of a direction.

... HELP SADISM didn't exist yet.

... Seafaring was still unlearnable and empty.

I also remember when...

... The Druids and Brigands didn't exist.

... The Thieves were still the Bandits.

... Pouches were 500g.

... Dunccan was actually someone to be feared ... though still a womanizer.

heh, Thieves and Bandits. I just talked with someone about that today. I love pulling out that trump card of currently being GM of both.

Aww, Dunccan. Miss him. :(

I remember when...

The hide skill would actually remove a worn item and place it on the ground (think about it... orders...)

Smokerings had unlimited range (yes, all the way across avalon) and no defense.

You could clear pick herbs and poisons by offering them while they were still planted.

The brigands had thieves skills and made the sewers hell, rather than ranger skills and making the treetops hell.

You could climb inside a canoe, have someone pickup the canoe, put it in their pack, then you could leave the canoe and be 'inside' the pack able to take everything.

You could climb inside a canoe, have someone pick it up, put it in a letter and then slip the letter under a door.

Swing to the 'pets' that the animists left in the hidden valley.

Swing to Azrilli from the mainland.

Put an owl in a letter, post it to someone in a garden, then swing to the owl.

etc. etc. etc.

Oh yeah, and you had to dial a telephone number to play and pay about a dollar an hour for credits.

I remember when.....

Knights could dual wield runeblades (handrune power)

You could follow someone and initiate a cleave.

Defy worked like Dramatics and restored equilibrium (fuck you fistan for getting that changed)

The sorc skill defile used to be called rape

Culinane used the dragon of mercinae to take him back to merc immediately

Allanon used to take us on 20 man bashes.

The city on city fights were 15 vs 12 people.

You could lead men to enlist them

Apollo used to hookup with all the young nubile nymphos in avalon give them deity status and then they would stalk him. Lilandrin FTW!!

Killing Jaskar was my crowning achievement

Getting all ultimates got you a unicorn

Artisans lived anywhere BUT parrius.

I used to make special kiss emotes for chicks who gave me stuff.

Kes was the LAW.

I was the LAW.

Fistan was humble, likeable, and my number 1 fan.

Arthor would use thees and thous wrongly and he'd kill me for schooling him.

Calagan made the absolute best and funniest posts.

Zeni would force people to tell kes help me kes! and then when kes did team strip kes of all his stuff.

Threap caused fear in an entire city

Mages didn't have india as guildmaster.

Orthwein used to sing and we had to guess the singer

Aja wasn't crazy

Babidi stripped everyone in avalon not his fan

I met the most wonderfull girl ever, made her my wife, and never looked back

I remember when...

...seeing stones use to rip a cities shops apart

...Dunccan was a womanizer (Still love ya)

...My childhood when it seemed like it all 4 cities would fight in the guild, at the same time, over enslaving and freeing stones.

Damn all the other ones I could think of others said :(.

Better because nobody can touch you...not even Zooka?  Or is it better because of the reasons I like it?

When Narissa stole all the gems

When teams of people would go to another city just to fell staves

"You grow in stature as the blessing of Mephisto dissolves about you."

and oh the hypocrisy of how our world is today:

The Mercinaen Queen: "I can't have a mercinaen practising the sorcery skill set. It is
against everything the city of light stands for. You will need to choose your
new profession and a life outside mercinae - or mercinae without the
necromancer guild "
