Why should the poor newbies get to hog the spotlight? (Original "Noob" Version) --> http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=36195.0
(http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=36195.0)
1. You might be an Oldbie if you remember when Brado didn't know the difference between a mug and an energy glyph.
2. You might be an Oldbie if you still threaten to fight people with silverweaves.
3. You might be an Oldbie if you have a hotkey for "soon(tm)."
And...
4. You are definitely an Oldbie if you find the "Wipe y/n" thread hilarious. :innocent:
-
If you remember when Oja was pretty much where Gugrontid is now.
-
is a midbie someone in between an oldbie and a newbie?
anyway you might be an oldbie if you were cursed with no mana despite maxed mental skills, then again some might say that is a midbie.
-
you used to be able to fall and get up
you sat and looked at the glue sea
-
You might be an oldbie if you miss the system message, "You have been killed by the world." [Is it still around?]
You might be an oldbie if this new fangled system of crafted weapons being actually powerful angers you.
You might be an oldbie if your stock of weapons includes "Common Dagger q242/50"
You might be an oldbie if you still have a first name only.
You might be an oldbie if you use the same mug from three years ago. [Me.]
You might be an oldbie if you give up posting relevant things on the forums, and just post nonsensical whims.
You might be an oldbie if Kada-el Tavern's seats have accomodated to your buttcheek outline.
You might be an oldbie if you stopped leaving Hydlaa years ago.
-
You might be an oldbie if...
... you need to look into your log file of your character's name before the renaming to remember your first day
... your buddy list is only max. 5% green even on a weekend-after-new-release or a global-holiday day
... you contact a member of an almost vanished guild with one of your alternative characters because you are afraid to switch and he might have gone offline already (props to the Knights of the Crystal, man!)
... you can remember how smoothly interpolated the heightfield map has been before "terrain2", even though the hills were several times as high and steep as today
... you ever sold "double-named" weapons (A's weapon of B) for more than 50K tria per piece to Harnquist
... you remember the character names of some GMs when they were still nooby players next to you, and "Cha0s" was the reason to stay past midnight
... you could become a sewers guide and know the secret shortcut between plaza and tavern -- if you just could still jump over the wheel axes like before (and maybe even remember the perpendicularly turning wheel axis)
... you saw the Laanx statue being as white as in the map loading screen (darned pollution!), and the shadows across the plaza did not flash each few minutes
And something even too old for me:
... you ever took part in a Crystal Run
-
...If you remember the time when the green corridors didn't have wilderness on both sides.
...If you remember When it was almost a straight path to the exit portal in the death realm.
...If you remember When the fall damage was so high you could die by stubbing your toe
...If you remember before the rogues set up shop in the warehouse district
...If you remember when most of Oja's shops were empty
...If you remember the rogue in the part of Jirosh's Warehouse that you have to jump to get to. ;)
...If you got lost every time the maps changed
...If you remember when people RPed in groups in front of Harnquist and not in the tavern
...If you spend more time reminiscing about the "good ol' days" of RP instead of actually getting out there and RPing
...If you read back years into your logs, which you did save mind you, just to relive those old RPs.
-
..... you remember when GMs were more fun when they were allowed to hang around at Harn's
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v440/thebaronvonperrine/PS%20stuff/shot06.jpg
-
... you remember when the platinum mine was below the temple in Hydlaa.
-
You might be an oldbie if.... you actually remember the time when XilliX was just a player... ::)
You might be an oldbie if.... you remember when platinum was taken out of game..
-
*SNIFF* Neko... you made my day!
Achie, Sangwa, Dylia, Arka ... any me still in Janners Way! :D
-
... you could become a sewers guide and know the secret shortcut between plaza and tavern -- if you just could still jump over the wheel axes like before (and maybe even remember the perpendicularly turning wheel axis)
i can do that
-
... you could become a sewers guide and know the secret shortcut between plaza and tavern -- if you just could still jump over the wheel axes like before (and maybe even remember the perpendicularly turning wheel axis)
it's still possible, at least with the klyros model
-
You might be an oldbie if.... you remember when there were crystals instead of Trias for money (I don't remember the names, though)
You might be an oldbie if.... you remember when the only places were the Plaza and the temple
or did I really suck at exploring, back then ???
-
um um... many of these sure bring back memmories :D
...you remember the super jump
hiya from a oldbie btw ;D
-
......you remember being able to fly/glide to the bottom of the temple dungeon where zak is now
......you remember EVERYONE being able to glide
......the Klyros of Fury and the Guild Knights duking it out on the temple grounds almost daily
......the Brigand and Canyt being on a stage in the ruins surrounded by ulbers
......when weapon slash wasn't measured in decimals
......DUELING POINTS!!!
......The Dlayo was the only one and was much easier to kill. (yeah, I made that stupid mistake after taking a break for a while)
......"climbing" the pillar to the ceiling and gliding down to the oja entrance
...... fighting over the forest road rogue because he gave 5 pp a shot
and last and not least, the infamous "WAYBREAD"
-
@ Elvi:
"One flew over the arena nest" :D
And believe it or not, there were people who tried to hide items in the bottom of the sky sphere, because they believed they were the only people who knew how to jump over and through the arena...
-
and last and not least, the infamous "WAYBREAD"
Hehe Thorin's Waybread army
-
A few more...
You might be an Oldbie if you still get a little nervous any time your character runs down a set of stairs.
You might be an Oldbie if you impotently jam on your old /unstick shortcut whenever you fall off the edge of something.
You might be an Oldbie if the first thing that pops into your head when you see a green bikini is "fenki." :P
-
You might be an oldbie if...
... you miss the time when you could climb (climb, not drop onto) the roofs of Hydlaa and its city wall.
... you remember having seen people who (bonus points for being somone who) used to climb the iron temple and the fountain.
... fall damage still confuses you.
... your character has IC flashbacks of having been a fenki in her former life :P
... you were confused when you didn't find the library directly next to the plaza when returning to the game a year ago.
-
Oh my, I can actually touch the drama floating around in a pointless manner. Talking about antediluvians? Hah. Just wait and see what the Order has prepared for you. You'll then sure see what an "oldbie" might be...
-
Can I call myself an oldbie for grieving I never ever found one diamond even though my harvesthing path was told by a person who found 7!!! diamonds in one day.
Or if I needed wall climbing to get behind the walls?
Or climbing on top of the Laanx statue?(that was a little bit harder)
-
No, you can't.
-
If you remember your fenki and all fenkis being clamod only and menkis being rabani.
If you character changed skins a couple of times, after different updates.
If your character spent more than 2 years without a description or backstory.... (or does that make me a noob? :whistling: )
-
You might be an oldbie if you had picnics on TOP of the temple.
You might be an oldbie if you remember starting everything you said with /shout. ;)
You might be an oldbie if you still miss jumping OVER the walls of Hydlaa.
You might be an oldbie if 0.5 is NOT the longest you've waited for a new update. :P
You are DEFINITELY an oldbie if you actually hung around with Kada.
You might be an oldbie if you still have a first name only.
:whistling:
... you need to look into your log file of your character's name before the renaming to remember your first day
You're an even older oldbie if your first day was BEFORE logs! ;)
-
You might be an oldbie if you remember using the gambling command to fight people xD
-
Is the explorers guild still active mordaan?
-
Ehm, Ghosts|Jestal ... the Explorers are not only "still around", they are now even members of the "Octarchial Society for Progress"! They are now an "Official Guild", so to say! :D
-
If you still remember the 'awkwardness' of atomic blue...
Aaah taking two steps and falling through the ground, those were the days :D
-
You might be an oldbie if you remember jumping to the bottom of Death Realm to help lost souls.
-
You might be an oldbie if you remember jumping down on the just normal way in Death Realm killed you again.
-
anything before cb is considered an oldbie ;]
-
If you still remember the 'awkwardness' of atomic blue...
Aaah taking two steps and falling through the ground, those were the days :D
You might be an oldbie if you dreaded exiting the sewer by kada's for that very reason... Hmm... I think that is still a problem sometimes too...
anything before cb is considered an oldbie ;]
You might be an oldbie if you remember the "Crystal Blue now released" banners on the site... Funnily enough I had just started playing then.
-
if ... you use to share the rogue at the magic shop with 3 or 4 other people (and compare how much bread you had)
if .. you was once a genderless Klyros
-
....... if you can't remember a damn password for any of your accounts after taking a large amount of time away from the game! :lol:
-
....... if you can't remember a damn password for any of your accounts after taking a large amount of time away from the game! :lol:
no that just makes you forgetful ^^
-
no that just makes you forgetful ^^
Or that you have to many accounts, and can't remember which password works for which. :P
-
... if people start to greet you respectfully, Tanner. ;)
... if people remember you like legends, zorbels. :D
-
... if people remember you like legends, zorbels. :D
Do you get extra Oldbie bonus points if one of your old characters helped save Zorbel's life? ...Or was that like everybody back then? :P
-
:offtopic: but I just have to opsie for old times sake! :oops: Bring it on forum gods and smite me!
... if people remember you like legends, zorbels. :D
:-[ Thanks LigH ....... and speaking of legends and oldbie's, it's good to see you are still around LigH! :flowers:
Do you get extra Oldbie bonus points if one of your old characters helped save Zorbel's life? ...Or was that like everybody back then? :P
LOL ...... well NOT everyone! :lol: I miss this place. Perhaps it is time for a new character. /me hugs Marqsaynt and stuffs strawberries in his mouth
-
/smite
:devil:

/me hugs Marqsaynt and stuffs strawberries in his mouth
A Zorbels sighting AND a free strawberry lunch? This day just keeps getting better. :)
And...
Spoiler Alert? :lol:
(http://i317.photobucket.com/albums/mm367/Marqsaynt/RoughPlaneshiftMap.jpg)
You might be an Oldbie if this (awesome) map actually looks right to you.
By the way, I have no idea where I actually got stole this map from and just found it on an old hdd with some PS junk yesterday... but, if you are the creator of this map I hope you don't mind me posting it and please come forward to identify yourself for extra Oldbie cool points!
-
heh, I remember that old map, used to have it on my old computer.
Don't remember who gave it to me though.....
-
I vaguely remember the maps being that way and stumbling across the ruin not long after I started playing. I got up to go get something and found than a menki bandit had killed me... then came the DR and falling off the ramp.... O.< stuff like that is why I stayed only in Oja for a year or two. I died every time I went anywhere else.
-
awww i still remember how the world looked like this... the wilderness even looked beter :)
was more green so to speak
-
not only that, but the wilderness looked and felt more threatening with all the teffs on the hill, and all the trepors in the fields below.
-
awww i still remember how the world looked like this... the wilderness even looked beter :)
was more green so to speak
To me the wilderness was red all the time. XD I remember how lost I was they added the second map between oja and the forest in the magic shop.

and i remember it been completely black, if you think getting lost is easy now try it when everything is the same color and i think the map was also bigger then

You might be an Oldbie if this (awesome) map actually looks right to you.
(September 2005) Myself and a few Guild Knights would go taunt the Ulbernaughts in the ruins on a frequent basis.
Unfortunately for us they caught on after a few months and lured us into a trap by having us believe they were glitched subdued.
Goodtimes.
-
I don't know, how far back is an oldbie..
If you remember when the map consisted of Hydlaa, a stretch of ugly polygonal road between Hydlaa, the magic shop and Ojevada, the sewers and the arena.
-
If you remember Talad playing too.... ehem.
-
if your signature pic has expired and turned into a giant tomato
-
if your signature pic has expired and turned into a giant tomato
That's no giant tomato... it's a tomogen! :o
Quick!, offer it a sacrifice, befriend it before it turns green and destroys us all!
-
I have lost my signature - it turned into a large tomato thingy - um... my host has lost mine.. pouts.
-
i was playing with talad yesterday so moot point :P

You are an oldbie if this looks right to you [true oldbies know why I had cut this part out]
-
Just the "full quote" was not really required. ;)
__
You might be a really extreme oldbie if you wonder why a 3D GPU with OpenGL is required at all. (I have seen a screenshot of PlaneShift in 2D once...)
You might be a very honourable oldbie if you can show a log file entry as proof that you once talked to Kada-El.
You might be an oldbie if you didn't meet half of your buddies more than a year (but still don't want to remove those).
-
You might be an oldbie if your friend list is entirely red the entire day.
You might be an oldbie if when your red friend list pops ups, you hallucinate a green name.
You might be an oldbie if you remember when the Death Realm was the place to train dueling skills.
You might be an oldbie if your character is so old you have no need to begin roleplays; they come to you.
-
weltall: Roleplaying, not player bashing! ;)
that's what we did :P
unbelievers!
-
If you remember me holding picnics in front of Harn's and making newbie packs.
If you remember people congregating at Harn's for RP at all. :o
-
I still do... erm... where's my walking stick...
-
You might be an oldbie if you didn't meet half of your buddies more than a year (but still don't want to remove those).
You might be an oldbie if you remember a menki you used to "RP" with (if climbing houses can be counted as RP), but you don't remember his name because it got removed from your buddy list as part of the last wipe.
(We also wanted to start a guild, and even started to build a website for the guild. I forgot the guild's name, too.)
-
You are an olbie if you know my first character - pre Lolitra!!!
hehee.. that'll get you all thinking.
-
you might be an oldbie if you are over 30 years old.
-

hehee.. that'll get you all thinking.
Damn!, that really has got me thinking... ???
Hmm... :detective:
As Derula mentioned, glitch climbing was quite a lot of fun while it lasted.
-
... if you ever paid thousands of tria for Night Mushrooms - just for roleplaying's sake.

Their was never a wipe, it was a migration.
-
....... if you can't remember a damn password for any of your accounts after taking a large amount of time away from the game! :lol:
This, and it's been so long the e-mail address for the game and the forums was deleted instead of just deactivated...
Stairs still make me very nervous...
You were surprised the first time falling through the world didn't send you to the Death Realm...
Getting lost looking for crystals was a good time...
You were running Windows 2000 or earlier
You remember a strange obsession with lemons in 2004/5
-
oh for christ.....is THAT where the magic shop is.........it was driving me crazy, i ve been running around with Servims balls since i started the game an i sick of holding them!!!
-
Man, after reading the first and last pages of this thread, I'd have to say most of the stuff should be termed "you might be a midbie if..." :P That said, I'll contribute one or two:
You might be an oldbie if...
you've ever seen an Arcane Order member in-game.
you remember when getting outside of the walls of Hydlaa was amusing.
you've met Kada-El.
you know a Kran who plays jazz trombone.
-
If you wonder where Father Sengus got to.
-
You might be an oldbie if you still rage whenever someone mentions The Cabal.
You might be an oldbie if you tie your sword to your belt with a Cyl.
You might be an oldbie if you need more than three hands to count the husbands of Agara.
You might be an oldbie if you got your Galkards from a website.
You might be an oldbie if you remember the labyrinth room with a dead end and three grates.
You might be an oldbie if you remember that Kada-El's tavern had a website.
You might be an oldbie if this thread made you laugh out loud, because most of them start with Crystal Blue. ;)
You might be an oldbie if ... /spawn
Seriously, this thread made my day. I don't even consider myself an oldbie, and yet most of the stuff in this thread came -after- my time in PlaneShift; I still have logs on my other computer that has one of my few encounters with Kada-El, before she disappeared - I never did find out what happened to her. No one could answer me back then.
I logged on the other day to find one green name on my friend's list - Phinehas. Turns out, he was just stopping by, too, and it was chance we ran into each other. The rest of my friend's list was red, and quite long - some names on there I don't even think migrated over to CB, but for some reason are on there.
I still have a few Waybread in my inventory. I give them out on occasion. I also still have a few mushrooms - though I think they were replaced with the newer ones. Several of my weapons were actually deleted, due to being glitched. I absolutely loved collecting rare items. Only one rare item did I have my eyes on that I never retrieved - that was the ring of the oldbie. I gave all my Tria away before migration, so I never received this item.
Oh, and hello, all! Long time no see. :]
-
You might be an oldbie if you need more than three hands to count the husbands of Agara.
Oh, and hello, all! Long time no see. :]
:D
And welcome back just in time.
-
you STILL cant find the dam crystals scattered all over :'(
-
You realize that the release of 0.5 makes it 4 versions that you've been through
-
You remember the saga of that one Klyros, I can't remember his name now, but he caused this massive fuss for something or other. It basically sparked of a forum war, eventually I think he left.
Yeah, that's really vague, but that's all I got. He was quite famous for a while.
-
Sounds like Xeonart Darkom (http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=31625.0), the poisoner.

Nah, it was way before 2008, I think. I was in a guild with him and someone else, few years ago. I think I remember he had great fun killing people pretty much randomly, and that also sparked some conflict.
The earliest record I can find of myself is back in 2006 - "dying inside" (Oh how I loath how emo that name is). So It was probably between 2006 and 2007. I remember it was back when I had pretty much just started planeshift and had no clue as to what I was doing.
-
you don't know what half the things are that were mentioned in this thread 0_o
-
If you hung out in the original ETG IRC room with the likes of Kada, Vengeance, Meket, Aelya, and such patiently waiting for the fabled first release, only for everyone to "play" it for 30 minutes and go back to whatever they were doing before the release. No one really played AB, liars. You're all noobs.
-
...if you remember the dwarf that would pop up when you dropped a slag or dust.
...you and your friends brought three or four ulbers to harnquist and laughed as they killed players.
...you dug platinum below the temple.
...you remember the bug that let you could train without money or skill points.
...you took rat hides from the sewer and sold them in Oja.
...you spent millions of tria on dual silverweaves.
...your forum account got deleted when Planeshift decided to change forums.
-
I had dual silverweaves on my first account :-[
-
...you remember when Toda was a menki. ;D
-
... you remember when I was writing my first porody, or better yet, were in it.
... you enjoyed getting spit at/on by a certain grumpy dwarf.
-
you wonder 'whatever happened to that talking face' in the rockside along the path to the magic shop...
-
You know more than 5 people who have been hit on by Agara in-game.
-
... you own a ring of the past
... you sold (or bought ;D) some emeralds for thousands and thousands of trias
... you remember the time when everyone was running around in excitement when there was the slightest rumour that the devs added a single new quest
... you remember wearing flowers and/or sacks on your head
-
... you remember wearing flowers and/or sacks on your head
AH, that one. Still remember to have seen various dwarves like that. CB, if I remember well.
I'm a "midbie" been here since 3.0.20 and heard most of the stuff from MB. Levrus gold, Dungeon's platinum, before East Hydlaa Existed, etc.
-
You're an oldbie if you were a crystal runner in the past.
-
It just hit me that I don't think platinum even existed in-game when I first started playing... Oldbie or non-Oldbie, that still just makes me feel old.
-
--You might be an Oldbie if you decide to walk everywhere instead of run everywhere.
--You might be an Oldbie if you have 100+ buddies on your buddies list
--You might be a MIDBIE if you were devastated at the shortcuts that were deleted when 0.5 came out.
--You might be a MIDBIE if you miss platinum.
--You might be a MIDBIE if you help out noobs and teach them how to RP, and train, because you have been through that cluelessness before.
--You might be an Oldbie if you carry a shovel around because it is not considered a weapon to the guards.
--You might be an Oldbie if you have multiple children from multiple marriages.
--You might be an Oldbie if you have been through more than 7 or 8 guilds that are dead now.
-
You might be an oldbie if ... you don't need maps for the sewers anymore, you can lead the way instead.
-
I never really became a part of the game but more the community through the years, these days I spend most of my energy on IRC and only lurk here as you can see :D
... the secret garden was only a green place void of flowers the first time you visited it
... you picked mushrooms in the forest :)
... Kada-El wasn't even constructed when you first entered the game :D
... if you experienced Karyuu and Cherppow still being active and lively visual inspirations within the community
... you knelt to the Queen of fools on "her" coronation, before he joined the dev team
... you knew Peacer, Seperot and Kixie on the forums and Torzigg, lammas and Sovcat on IRC, among a few.
-
You might be an oldbie if... you remember the secret garden before Xiosia's tree, the flowers, and jardet. :P
" " you remember the sewers when it only had relliom and the rouges for people
" " you remember when there was only Brintec and Toda for merchants in Akkaio proper
" " you remember a time before the plague was the excuse for only one dsar being open in Oja.
" " you remember when mugs were the only equipable cup and you had to steal them from Brado to get them. ;)
-
@ Illysia:
... when mugs were containers, and you could put a lot into.
@ Baldur:
Remember the picture? - "Torzigg - sniffing catmint since..."

you might be an oldbie if your idea of fun is still a game of assassin or Hags
You might be an oldbie if you remember the game playing better on your pc over a 56k modem
you might be an oldbie if the door without the walkway to it under the temple is where they kept the dragon (lol i always got a kick outa telling random wanderers that saw me over there that)
you might be an oldbie if your still angry at harnquist for stealing your hut
you might be an oldbie if you miss glirtching in, out, and on top of building
you might be an oldbie if you got a wepon before you knew how to swing it
-
If you still have a Ring of the Past (yes, I have one :D )
Greetings,
-
If you remember Talad playing too.... ehem.
Do I need to fish out my IG Talad stalker photo library? ;)
(Also, I have taken this thread into consideration and now consider myself an oldbie. (but don't let Draklar hear that))
-
... if your name is mr. drey.
-
You might be old if you remember me ;D
-
I even remember why. :P
-
What if we don't?
-
3. You might be an Oldbie if you have a hotkey for "soon(tm)."
That is the one, no questions about it \\o//
-
...you remember when enack leranal was outside hydlaa with a rogue and a brigand and he dropped axes when you killed him
-
...you remember when enack leranal was outside hydlaa with a rogue and a brigand and he dropped axes when you killed him
He doesn't drop axes anymore? And wasn't it a bandit not the brigand? Was so long ago I can't quite seem to remember but, I do recall the brigand hanging around The Ruins with all the ulbernauts. Maybe it should be: You might be an Oldbie if you can't remember exactly where Enack was but know darn well he was somewhere else! :lol:
-
you mean he can still be attacked? news to me. Ya might have been a bandit not a brigand.
It was kind of amusing because you could stand by him and attack the others from a distance and they would walk up to be slaughtered.
-
You might be an oldbie if you ever had Hevrah's Enki steaks.
You might be an oldbie if you ever almost killed Zorbels <.<
You might be an oldbie if you remember the CB combat rush
You might be an oldbie if you remember jumping from the windowless tower and being fine.
You might be an oldbie if you remember the Cabal and Aendar and just how great they got along.
You might be an oldbie if you remember the sea of glue.
You might be an oldbie if you remember when Phinehas wasn't grump :o
You might be an oldbie if you remember the Thieves Underground
You might be an oldbie if you remember the prices of weapons in crystals
You might be an oldbie if you think these newbies are spoiled with their "features" back in our day you had bugs and you were grateful to even have those! And the way to the temple was uphill! And then the way home was uphill to!
-
Phinehas not grumpy? Blasphemer!
-
I wonder how long till someone will claim oldbie because they remember the Dlayos, Onyx Daggers or Briggy :detective:
-
you might be an oldbie when your RP has resulted in the implementation of names in game - such as Joopiner or Roltok...

so joopiner jelly is player thought up?? o.o
-
Yes, Joopiner Jelly snacks and fried Roltoks are based on roleplays in the Royal House of Purrty.
Just Printh won't find its way into the settings, it seems...
-
Gin soaked royalty...unheard of in real life!
joopiner berry = juniper berry
Off with their heads!
-
you an oldbie, if youremember that there was only hydlaa and ojaa to start with
-
you are an oldbie, if you still remember that there was a rogue in the T part of the forest, going to oja,
you are an oldbie if you remember the arena 6 years ago [which i cant remember cause i mostly actually RPed that time]
you are an oldbie if you have 1 name, you are an oldbie if you remember the valley full of rogues [that was with the MAJOR wilderness change, because the wilds were way too big before]
you are an oldbie, if you remember the road from oja to hydlaa is straight on, but there is a T one to hydlaa one to the clearing, where a bandit [very hard], rogue [mos tpeople kill this oen] and a good looting diaboli, which i think was a cutthroat
you are an oldbie if you still have you swords with high slashes and 50q [9quality didnt matter then]
youa re an oldbie if you think lvl 50 sword is maxed [which it was 5 years ago]
you are an oldbie if you treat ulbie killers with respect [which they were way back then, when no one else can kill them but 2 people]
you are an oldbie if you bought your weakness glyph from the magic shop
you are an oldbie, if you remember there were NO magic realms, only magic ways, you could cast any magic
you are an oldbie if you remember there were only 6 spelss
you are an oldbie if yo remeber that freeze graphics was different fro now
-
You might be an oldbie if you do not bother reading the thread and post duplicate reasons why you might be an oldbie.
-
You might be an oldbie if you the first version of the game you played contained only the temple and the crystal mine under it and nothing else.
The rest of you aren't even midbies in my eyes >.>
-
You might be an oldbie if you remember the initial launch and the development that led to it, but then you would part of a vanishingly small elite. You certainly wouldn't be me!
-
... you return after several years, and your inventory is empty, Phinneas.
-
...you have a riveter of your own. I guess oldbie is an ever growing category in range if not population.
-
remember when the main page said something along the lines of "PS is a game developed by Roleplayers for Roleplayers"? If it wasn't on the main page, it was somewhere, for I distinctly remember it being the reason I even downloaded the client. It's no longer there nor anywhere, which I guess means it's no longer true.
-
If at some point you joined the GM/dev/tester team
If you got a little excited to see the oldbies of your "generation" posting in this thread
If you moved on and only pop up every now and then summoned by oldbie threads
If you somewhat miss the old smf forum interface >_>
-
... you return after several years, and your inventory is empty, Phinneas.
Wait, what?
-
I thought I saw you lurking around Phinehas. ;D
-
if you remember people abusing the /spawn command and there would always be MULTIPLE people spawning on that spot all the time.
-
If you ran through the death realm to get to Ojaveda faster ;)
-
If you ran through the death realm to get to Ojaveda faster ;)
Yeeeeeeep.
-
If you remember Crystal Blue :beta:
If you remember having to just ask people if they wanted to buy your stuff, instead of going to a player market
If you mined gold at the Magic shop ;D
you remember a Dev time without weltall on it.[Does such a time exist?Did all mortals die out in the mean time? :) ]
-
Good to see you back around, Carua. ;)
Weltall has been Dev-ing since code was written in hieroglyphics. So, I doubt anyone remembers a time without him. :whistling:
-
if you rememeber a time before weltall was deving
-
If you remember when weltall's first few posts were awkward.
-
... if you remember Xordan coding for PS (that was before weltall).
-
... if you have a "Ring of the Past" in your inventory.
-
... if you remember Xordan coding for PS (that was before weltall).
Whatever happened to him, LigH? Is he still dev'ing for Crystal Space at all?
@Talad: :sorcerer:
-
I believe you can find Xordan still in CrystalSpace IRC channels. But I don't know how active he is. Foliage was one of his recent prominent projects...
-
Ah, good. I would've been disappointed if he'd just up and left, he was a large driving force both in the game community and dev community.
-
you have copies of the ab, mb,cb,sb,and ac clients... and the servers.
-
Braggard... ;) — You are unique, steuben.
-
I maintain that someone should put up AB and let us play around, just for a bit. I would love to experience the part of PlaneShift I never got to see.
-
You really weren't missing much :p
-
I remember that Karyuu inspired and taught me, more or less, how to draw.
-
...you started this topic back in 2009.
-
Marq! \\o//
You might be an oldbie if you simply lurk these forums on the off chance you see a name you recognize from far to many years ago. ;)
-
Marq!
Illy? Now I feel somewhat old!=S
=P
-
Phage?!?
err, nevermind.
Don't recognize that name :D
-
I do! \\o// Hiya Phage. ;)
-
Well, cant tell whats about Noriin or Lhaa, but me, Velh, is still lurking!=P
-
Oh, Marq, remember the day Lolitra found you sleeping in her kitchen? ... A pity you missed the tea party.
-
Well, cant tell whats about Noriin or Lhaa, but me, Velh, is still lurking!=P
I have no doubt that Row's still about too >.>
-
Not likely considering how often he gets bans. I do miss him though. XD I know Aiwendil lurks around still. ;)
-
Yeah...at times ;)
And no idea if Noriin is still banned here...as far as I know even he doesn't know himself. Lurks only in the OL forum if at all.
-
Haha, man, he did get bans so much!
Makes me laugh, remembering. Surely there are more diplomatic ways about things ;D
eh aiw?
-
... newer generations of "oldbies" have come and gone since your time.
-
...you start talking about the people that were around when you were new, and none of your guildies have the slightest idea what you're going on about.
-
...you start talking about the people that were around when you were new, and none of your guildies have the slightest idea what you're going on about.
Like who, MoMo? :O
-
I don't remember who exactly I was talking about, but it is a true story :P
-
It's quite possible. Students like Erebey never heard of Lordbug or Arka (KS). Pathseekers of the Hammer never heard of Apis or Zwenze, even Cilay is "only" a quest legend now... and who remembers Easton, Verrliit, and the Sworn Council of Yliakum?
-
Verliit was a long-gone when I was new...I heard of her but never met her. And, I was talking about people outside my guild, just oldbies in general. xD
-
Heh, who remembers people wearing Verliit's sigil, people who had been enslaved by Duraza, people who had been to one of Xilix's sermons(this one is before me even)? A lot of funny, longstanding RPs that were well known by people that were outside of them have been lost. Anyone know where Marqsaynt and Orgonwukh have gotten off to or any number of funny pairs that antagonized each other? :D Or even that cranky lemur that used to sulk in the corners of Kada's? :innocent:
-
Marqsaynt once awoke in Lolitra's kitchen. We never found out why he was not deep-frozen by our magical house wards; he must have had no intentions at all while entering.
Did we already mention the Dermorian Lords and the Dwarven Wars against Drahlian?
-
I have many memories of ages past on Volund. I recall a time when if diplomacy failed, you always had a war. And we really knew how to smash 'n bash. Ah, good times. Well, not much changes.
I remember Drahlian. Fond memories of racism. :love:
EDIT: I also fought for the Dermorian Lords!!! :D
More fond memories of racism. And slavery.
.... Damn cats! :P

1. You might be an Oldbie if you remember when Brado didn't know the difference between a mug and an energy glyph.
2. You might be an Oldbie if you still threaten to fight people with silverweaves.
3. You might be an Oldbie if you have a hotkey for "soon(tm)."
And...
4. You are definitely an Oldbie if you find the "Wipe y/n" thread hilarious. :innocent:
You might be an oldbie if your character's name is Valorius Rageway... ;)
Now where did i put my silverweave daggers?
-
O hay look! I haven't seen you in forever. Hi Valorius. :D
-
"silverweaves" who?
Anyway, if you remember using shortcuts such as http://i.imgur.com/CGlCC.jpg
Or,
you remember this colour scheme: http://i.imgur.com/oC7Ro.gif
Or some of you may even remember the correct way of welcoming a newbie to the form? :p
-
I remember when silverweaves were the best weapons. I also remember that it was my duel with a GM playing a rogue that caused him to realize they were more powerful than the team had originally wanted, and then had them nerfed. ;D
-
That was your fault?!? :P
-
you remember this colour scheme: http://i.imgur.com/oC7Ro.gif
First look here in years, see same old posts about oldbies and getting new players and I see one of my posts on Dreys pic

Zinn!

Indeed. Zinn! -- Guess what, I still keep our forum alive.
-
I remember spelling out words with the gems we collected!
I have screenshots of a few GMs' marriages in-game!
And yeah, remember when the Temple and town was the only places to go....no weapons, no monsters, no skills...only 2 quests and they were "hidden"! -)

Eek, I feel old...

I remember Easton, and other sworn council members. Also the Survivors, I believe they became in sorts in later years.

ur old

... if you roleplayed with Kada-El herself 10 years ago 8)

If you introduced the famous words "Soon (TM)", like i did.

...If you post in this after at least 20 days, and still do not know why your old friends still remember you.

Wasn't that even longer ago? I remember she was already a myth when I was a newbie, which was 10 years ago. Damn, we're getting old.

Yeah, there was a time...

If you remember when Harnquist had a row with a former lover. I.e she who began the Dwarven Wars. No joke.
-
:o Drahlian and Harnquist?! ... The Chronicles of the Hammer (http://inter-link.dyndns.org/forum/index.php?board=23.0) seem to miss this detail...
-
Yes, I know. The drama. Harnquist and Drahlian were lovers and had a spat. 'twas glorious gossip. Perhaps they birthed the anti-dwarf: half demon half ylian smith.

Hehe. I remember when Illysia was that color of Fenki. ;D

those were actually good pings to ps back in the day.
-
/me sighs
So many people I knew...
-
if...you're typing this when you're dead.
-
the doctors say i should have died already. i'll count that as close enough.
-
You might be an oldbie if you can remember when the Plaza was a bustling marketplace.
-
... when your character profile says: "Created: 15.Mar.2006"
And sad enough I renamed a month ago, and now my single first name is gone!
-
Yay ... so welcome back, if that was not said yet. Did we know you in these times?
-
Stairs scare you.
You check to see who might have dropped all those crystals.
Pick up junk.
-
you expect crystals to just pop up out of the ground.
though i think that one may have been said already
-
And it is true, again. In places.
-
PS has Pop Rocks (http://www.pop-rocks.com/products/)? wannurful!
-
Stairs scare you.
I joined soon after stairs that let you travel through levels were discontinued... Do any of you actually remember those (replaced by the winch) stairs?
Apparently, mostly criminals used them, said Roled, condescendingly.
;D ;D ;D
-
Roled: Not only stairs with holes, but also stairs that caught your feet, made you stumble, fall over and break your neck ... means: Descending stairs already triggered the falling damage.
-
You might be an oldbie if you complain about how good rp used to be instead of playing :p
-
Yay ... so welcome back, if that was not said yet. Did we know you in these times?
Haha, hey thanks, well, I was mostly working in the Arena and the Sewers, but all the people in my friendslist from back in the days, haven't been online since I started playing again...
-
This question indirectly means if you would reveal your character(')s(') name(s) and see if we remember you.
-
Ha, oh, my name was Patronatus, and still is ;) Only now it is Patronatus Rhaazar. However, I actually wanted it to be Rhaza Rha'Azar, but apparently it is not possible.
-
You might be an oldbie if you complain about how good rp used to be instead of playing :p
^ That ;)

*blows the dust off the thread and coughs violently*
...If your buddy list goes from (A)eshion to (Z)orbels.
I also made the mistake of looking at the date I created my oldest remaining character and now officially feel old.
-
Oh, I have Zorbels too. And several in the A's, like Acheronista. And you as well, of course. Kitchen burglar. ;)
-
Marq!!
*tackle-hugs*
Hi. :)
I would so go back in game to see Marq have to explain to Nurahk his tab. ;D
*coughs*
You know you are an oldbie when you'd come back just to see a single RP between characters you haven't seen in years. :D
-
You might be an oldbie if between the time you created your proclaimed "main" and you really went to RP them there was a gap of a couple years, and then, a couple years after you rage-quit after having RPed them for a couple years, you think about returning.
(This is a completely fictional story that might indicate you're an oldbie, not an accurate description of my current situation.)
-
You might be an oldbie if you have more tria than you know what to do with, if this is the case you know where to come ;D
-
@LigH: It's only burglary if you take something... Marq was just, eh, napping.
@Illysia: WHOA, I totally forgot I used to put all Marq's drinks on Nurahk's tab. Thanks for reminding me! Gave me a really good laugh.
It's good to see you two lurking around still. :)
And on a related note...
You might be an oldbie if you only post on the forums every 2 - 3 years just to see who is still around.
Edit: And Eurac, believe me, there are broke Oldbie characters too. :P
-
It's good to see you two lurking around still. :)
Lurking? LigH still plays. ;) I however only go in game once in a blue moon.
-
Marq stops by and gets me thinking of the bad old days of ought-five and ought-six. Got me rooting around on the forums. The link below was a two-week wonder, and it was before the OP had dropped the bomb, but entertained with that eventual debacle. There was a lot happening on the system back then, this would have been after the Daehaz thing, but Einnol would have still been around and working something. Also sometime around the period of UtM's the Uncommon Cold, or such, if I remember correctly. Sworn Council of Yliakum was still active, as were The Enlightened. And… Duraza was about doing his Svengaliesque RP. Chazarus was still around, lol. Frak. Pisik. Xylaal. Zhai. Maerghaine. Hadfael would bug you if you were out of line. The old fire in the Kada-El. DR dueling club and Ulber hunts with the gang from the Elemental Light. Bit below was one bit happening on the system, and I would estimate that something less than 10% of what was ever going on in game ever made it to the forum, like footprints in the sand on a windy day, no trace. No matter how anyone felt about anyone else, or whatever anyone did… what a bunch of characters!
http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=26159.0 (http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=26159.0)
-
Last time I saw Xylaal was when Nolthrir females were released. I might have seen Zhai since that but most of those names I haven't heard hide nor hair about in a long time. That is sad since Illysia only gets her swords from Einnol repaired by Einnol. :(
Well, I read skimmed that thread of yours verden and look what I found. :whistling:
I'm old.
:innocent:
You know, I wish lurking oldbies would at least log on to MyPlane (http://planeshift.teamix.org/myplane/) with their old PS accounts and enable basic visibility for their characters so that I can read their descriptions.
-
You might be an oldbie if out of all the posters in this thread, only the registration dates of Talad (1/3/2002), Annah (2/17/2002), jorrit (4/4/2002), Izzy*dot (5/8/2002), Nadius (5/24/2003), Sifright (6/15/2003), Mindari (7/15/2003), Xordan (8/18/2003), KalTorak (11/13/2003), and fireofsoul (11/21/2003) predate your own.

Hi, Duraza.

You remember me :P
Who even let you come back here? :P
I miss you.

/me tries to catch Illy...
Yes, nice surprises over and over. Just no luck yet with Verrliit, a pity...
-
Certainly some high profile names from back in the day round about right now.
Where is our favorite Lemur arch-mage weakling hiding these days? Gone around the world I guess. Seems like it is taking more than 80 days, though.
I always wonder how many people have forum accounts in the names of more than one character, I have this one and another for Prolix but mostly just stick to this one for posting purposes.
Heh heh, it takes a long time to get a message to Alaska, LigH. She may not have even found what she was looking for up there, who knows where she may be now. She did have her issues with this project towards the end.
-
In these days, she is building new worlds in RIFT.
-
/me tries to catch Illy...
Yes, nice surprises over and over. Just no luck yet with Verrliit, a pity...
What about scrounging up one of her sigils and chanting her name over it? Pretty sure that's not how those things work but you could try. ;)

Who even let you come back here? :P
I bribed the Octarch, of course.
-
... you still have a character in the Thieves of Yliakum.
... you raided the Temple with Thieves of Yliakum.
... you know who has a stolen page from the Book of names.
... you participated in the huge Battle on Oja road (BD road today, or at least it was a year ago when i last checked in)
... you had to double check your description to see which kind of Elf race the character were.
... Aradia, SovHed & Ponengey taught you everything.

The huge battle on oja road, the one between dwarfs and dwarf haters?
-
I was thinking about the one in the Dakkru RP story line, the one that did not really count since we were not supposed to know about Dakkru in game... the story line were stopped shortly after by GMs for this reason i think.
I think Peacer were there, Lyaph were looking for him on the battle field if i remember correctly.
EDIT: Looking for him, not with good intentions
-
... Aradia, SovHed & Ponengey taught you everything.
These names feel like distant, foggy memories to me, yet somehow so familiar...

wow you still play :D
No, I just lurk. (Ohai Suno and Illysia).

If that Phinny ever comes back and takes a look let it be on record that he was amazing. Just looking back at my old stuff and thinking about my rpz elsewhere I'm amazed how much he influenced me.
Also. To keep on topic (before I return to pure lurker status) anyone remember the Settings(?) dev Rizin (whose ooc cult I believe I joined)? Not sure if I caught her name in this thread. But she has all me <3, wherever she is.
-

Totally miss Rizin. :'(
-
And Mama Mara. :'(
-
SovHed was riot sometimes. Phinehas, I want to say he came back for a while and then he officially left, and they locked down his name or something, posts somewhere in here. Having Phinehas and Shalmaneser in game could often be amusing. Rizin yeah, and Karyuu… Vengeance too. But the system goes on, I guess. RL can be compelling sometimes, and things rarely stay the same.
-
....you enslaved other races.
-
Heh. I'm betting its a reference to the Dermorian Lords. I remember the siege of Oja.
-
So long it has been since the order of daggers imposed their will on this realm. So long since the queen of daggers, once the most feared duelist in yliakum has drawn blood with her silverweave daggers...so long since she led a mass exodus from this world to another, taking many of the legends with her when she left.
Long live the Order of Daggers.
-
Long live the order!

Hai Valorious. o/

I think that was the dueling changes after the great dupe bug. The end of DR fight club, for the most part, iirc. Quite a while ago. Regards!

Yessir. The money flowed freely then.
I pop in one day and I see so many names that I looked up to in RP. I guess I count as an oldbie, but I don't know if anyone remembers me.
-
Well, if I don't even remember a race related to a name, then your character may have met mine not too often. But I believe I remember the name, if your char name matches your account. Would you refresh my memories with race and guild?
-
Yeah, the name looks familiar to me too. Hi. o/

Dihenis wasnt that a klyros.. Might Be wrong.. o/

...you thought this song (youtube) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRS3cL0fdZ8) was about you even though you didn't pay attention to the lyrics.

-
Now that - that was some funny stuff.
-
oddly enough I survived that whole period playing with no sound.
-
Levrus' voice was the BEST. ;D
-
I tried to contribute too ... and not only seriously, e.g. giving Remant a saxonian accent.
-
Those were dark times. Let's not mention the voice acting ever again.
-
it wasn't the voice acting so much as the pacing of the text to match
-
The worst was the Klyros net to last in the old tutorial- he was a 33rpm going 78rpm.
Hey, does this make me an oldie?

:thumbup: Wow, still kicking around bilbous? Good stuff and good to a familiar face. Just stopped in for a hello. You are correct thread wasn't around ten years, I was. I didn't start using forums for first few years of playing planeshift. The I signed up and well you know the history. lol My first fight on PS forums is in the kittens are cute thread Zanzibar started. Oh good times.
::| \\o// Strawberry fields forever! :flowers:
Does Dylia exist still, too?
Hey there LigH! Yup, she still exists. We miss this place and remember our fond memories and friends made. Funny how years later I am telling my daughter (was a baby when I started and is 13 now) of the stories that we wrote here and the friends her father (Stronith) and I made. Tried to put into words the magic that took place here. That's why I eneded up here last night, looking for my old stories and community stories written together to show her.
Good to see you and happy RPing. :)
-
I guess I would somehow be proud to show a new little Zorbels the world which developed since those old days...

Yeah. 2nd generation li'l strawberry. That'd be crazy.

Hey Zorbels, long time since I found you having fun on IRC and the Forums :D Many strawberries, lady!

Heh...I barely qualify as a midbie and PS does that for me...
-
And what, pray tell, are the qualifications of being a midbie?
-
Midbie Qualifications?
* You left the game. ( if you are back, it's just temporary )
* You remember when players outnumbered the damn NPCs

Yay, I did that! In early 2007(?) after about 20 minutes ingame with my first character. I got lost in Hydlaa, figured it would be easier to go out in the wild (smart move...), stumbled over a pebble and died of a stubbed toe. Fell again in the Death Realm and stood at the deep dark bottom. Was too dumb to ask for help or /unstick -> Never gonna play this game again! :lol:
-
Hi Elvi, sad to see the outlaws have all gone.....been a long time since I've played but i'm playing again these days.
-
A couple of OL players are still around.
-
Surely they have embedded themselves into other guilds or learned to put on the guise of being a respectable citizen. :)
-
/me points above my comment / \ and cackles

-
Is there a name for when you joined back when Hydlaa was a) flat and b) the entire world, but you haven't been back in so long that you are now far, far worse than the newbiest of newbs?
As in: Crafting? I have no idea how to do that. I do now how to convincingly introduce myself to a ruby, emerald or diamond... so there's that.
The league of obsolescence?

Ayshe! :sorcerer:

For some reason I can't find any screenshots of these old ages of PS...part of the new PS generation I honestly REALLY want to see what Hydlaa looked like back then.

As Remyl or as Jonoth?
Sorry, i couldn't help wondering... I could see both getting down with... Well uhm... I don't mean BOTH both, just... Er eh.. I should stop. XD
-
Remyl wasn't even a twinkle in my eye yet.
Interestingly enough, Remyl was "born" February 13th, so he just missed Valentine's Day.
-
Oooh my.

You might be a midbie if NPCs are down.
Again.
-
You're at least a midbie if all you could think in the previous post was
Holy shit
Timmy?!
-
You might be a oldbie if you've had to replace expired images in your sig every time you return to lurk. Or you're like me and you have no time for anything anymore.
Also hi.
-
Greetings Gemma Geoni! \\o//
-
If a developer remembers you, when you and him were both players. :)
-
if you survived the old Dev crew
-
If a mug was your most prized possession since they only spawned once after a server crash when upon login, the world was littered with items.
If you remember said server crash.
If you used to camp one rat that gave rapiers as loot together with 10 other people, taking your turn looting (or was it sabers?).
If you spent a lot of time, outside the map looking at the lights of Hydlaa from that "hilltop" above the arena.
If you participated in those tournaments in the arena hosted by Proglin.
If you argued at least once with Zanzibar :p.
If you remember the Protectors ^_^.
As a side note, I'd like to say "Greetings" to all the olbies that after so many years seem to be still around and to express my gratitude towards the developers game masters and players that managed to keep this game going for so long and improved it. I had fun here, and I'm happy to see "here" still exists.
PS: Drey, that shortcut to the catacombs! Dat jump though...

Hahaha. I remember doing this. Back when I played a lot, the community was so tight knit that everyone was practically able to guess who was who's alts, simply based off of RP style. xD [Are you so and so? Hah! Knew it!]
-
Yeah, I'd tell people stories of me spending time with Kada and then people would whisper asking which dev I am lol.
-
Well, joining during v0.3.012 was a bit late to meet Kada...
-
She was definitely around early crystal blue, even late, basically all the way up till they changed the player models she would drop in from time to time. Not often but she was there. Pretty sure I got screenshots somewhere.
-
Hahaha. I remember doing this. Back when I played a lot, the community was so tight knit that everyone was practically able to guess who was who's alts, simply based off of RP style. xD [Are you so and so? Hah! Knew it!]

I rather miss that. ;D although, one time I was able to fool people because I deliberately did not do the IC and OOC things I knew people would recognize from me.

Or 4 people plus alts.

Actually my bad.. You probably remember me as my Knowledge Seeker... Aerianna
-
Not sure how much of an oldbie this makes me but... I remember joining the Warriors Guild with Sanxx Grizzlyus, then taking a hiatus and joining the Masters of Move with Perlan. Been about 8 years ago, makes me feel old :)
-
"Actually my bad.. You probably remember me as my Knowledge Seeker... Aerianna "
\\o// AERIANNA!!!!
\\o//
Roled's first teacher!! You were so patient with me- thank you for that years ago!
:woot: Roled Rolak :woot:
Professor of Magicks :sorcerer:
you've come a long way, elfie!
-
Actually my bad.. You probably remember me as my Knowledge Seeker... Aerianna
Now it makes more sense. I think I may have been confusing you with someone else with an "Izzabella"-like name.
Aerianna I remember very much!
Hi there! :D
-
Guess what ... Knowledge Seekers never die. We are still around. Some of us are even quite active. Just the top of the pyramid has been erased a lot.

Is Zorbels still lurking here? (http://de.webfail.com/69900bd039c)

I think I still have a copy of the Adventures of Toenail or whatever it was called. Does this make me an oldbie?
-
Not yet. But a veteran, certainly. ;)
-
I remember those books, I wonder if I still have my copies. I shall check.
-
Over 100 copies sold!
In Hydlaa that's basically certified triple-platinum, right?
-
I have those books somewhere XD
-
When the original CB delivery to the temple quest was bugged and you get macro spam to get an inventory full of items which you could then sell on Harnquist and got these claymores you always dreamed of?
-
I am unsure whether being a midbie should require at least one ragequit. Or is that only obligatory for oldbie status?
Most certainly yes, question is that does it matter how much one has played before ragequit and how long you have to stay away since ragequit.
On a sidenote, should midbies have their own thread since newbies and oldbies have one allready?
-
Nah, we (midbies) don't have rights to say anything whatsoever. Please continue, I remember my grandma was used to talk of good ol' days. :P

No. Midbies are not special snowflakes like newbies and are not entitled to their own thread. They don't get hand holding and coddling for lacking knowledge or their asses kissed for being here first and in many cases, being crappy players... but I won't go there..

Oh how swiftly the river of time flows. I miss my friends whom taught me much about RP in Planeshift.
Myself, even Alhana in some form, grieves the absence and loss of contact. So many years of silence.
You know whom you are. Show yourself, awaken that which has been dormant all these years.

These are excerpts from Rigwyn's descent into darkness. Was only going to share the one where he leaked in the fountain but it's pretty entertaining how his character defied our expectations. These are from the first year that I played to a few years ago.
(23:40:40) Rigwyn looks at Sarras and grins,'I wanna see you get smashed eh ?>"
(23:40:44) Rigwyn smiles
(23:41:10) Stashka says: I completley agree with Rigwyn.
(23:41:39) Stashka says: You should listen to him, hes smart and gives out free stuff.
(23:41:41) Sarras shakes her head at Rigwyn. "No."
(23:41:53) Stashka says: Awwww...comeon...why not?
(23:42:05) Mordaan takes a close look at Rigwyn and shrugs
(23:42:09) Rigwyn makes puppy groffel eyes at Sarras, "Please ? "
(23:42:40) Morila says: Rigwyn... are you crazy?
(23:42:47) Sarras's face turns cold. "Do I know you, Diaboli?"
(23:43:07) Rigwyn hods out a mug to Sarras, "Not yet... Here .. drink"
(23:43:16) Stashka decides Rigwyn is his new hero
(23:43:29) >Rigwyn gave Sarras a Red Liquor Mug.
(23:43:35) Stashka says: Can I have another too Rigwyn?
(23:43:42) >Dannae Reinor greets everyone.
(23:43:43) Rigwyn says: [ giving liquor to someone your age is just so wrong XD ]
(23:43:46) Stashka says: HI Dannae!
(23:43:54) Sarras takes the mug but refuses to drink.
(23:44:05) Dannae says: hi
(23:44:11) Stashka says: Cant I have some?
(23:44:15) Stashka says: Please?
(23:44:15) Sarras says: Dannae, they're trying to get me drunk!
(23:44:23) Stashka says: No we aren't!
(23:44:35) Stashka says: Were just trying to get her drinking!
(23:44:48) Sarras says: This is harassment!
(23:44:51) Rigwyn raises his mug and sips.. then coughs at spits to the right upon hearing Sarras's accusation.
(23:44:54) Morila says: Rigwyn?!
(00:18:09) Llyn tries to pull Dannae under the water by her ankles.
(00:18:39) Sillamon lays back down into the water .. wiggling his toes
(00:19:01) >Sillamon Sallow takes a seat.
(00:19:23) Dannae allows herself to be pulled under concentrating on the soothing feel of water all around
(00:19:41) Alliva says: hmmm i should prolly dry of my fur will start to smell if i dont
(00:20:01) Alliva stands up
(00:20:06) >Alliva Aiyeve stands up.
(00:20:17) Dannae says: [the bubbles are from my gills... I swear]
(00:20:28) Rigwyn begins to urinate into the fountain
(00:20:42) Mellas says: [XD]
(00:20:46) Sarras shouts: AHHHH!
(00:20:47) Alliva concentratesa a little and steam can be seen comeing from allivas body
(00:20:50) >Siranov Jaylor stands up.
(00:20:53) Rigwyn laughs evily and runs off
(00:21:02) Sarras jumps 8 feet away from the fountain.
(00:21:11) >Siranov Jaylor takes a seat by Rigwyn Setson.
(00:21:12) >Siranov Jaylor stands up.
(00:21:19) Elady stands up and gets out of the water.
(00:21:24) >Elady Wanz stands up.
(00:21:27) [Tell] You tell Rigwyn: [lmao, that's the evillest thing i've ever seen you do! xp]
(00:21:35) >Dannae Reinor stands up.
(00:21:39) Sillamon continues to slosh around in the water.
(00:21:47) Mellas makes a face gets up to step back
(00:21:50) >Mellas Fenixxes stands up.
(00:21:58) Alliva says: sillamon get out someones just done the toilet in it
(00:21:58) Elady shakes her hair getting water on those near her.
(00:22:08) Mellas says: [brb]
(00:22:10) Dannae goes to Sillamon, "It's time to get out sir, can I give you a hand?"
(00:22:28) [Tell] Rigwyn tells you: [ i was laughing so hard i couldnt type ]
(00:22:37) Sarras says: Dannae, quick, before it gets you! Leave the old man behind! Oh, and grab my boots please, thanks!"
(00:22:40) Alliva grins slightly as the steam begins to disapear " almost done "
(00:22:54) Sillamon sands up
(00:23:06) Sillamon says: Oh ? what ?
(00:23:13) Sarras says: [llyn rigwyn just pissed in there]
(00:23:18) Dannae gives Sarras a dissaproving look
(00:23:23) Sillamon says: [ LOL !!! ]
(00:23:28) >Sillamon Sallow stands up.
(00:23:37) Sillamon says: [ laughing so hard i cant type ]
(00:23:41) Dannae says: Time to get out sir
(00:24:05) Alliva stops and cheacks his fur all dry
(00:24:08) Sillamon says: "What are we .. 6 cycles old ? Did someone really ? "
(23:54:46) Jotrix's right hand shoots to Stashka's face in a spasm.
(23:55:18) Rigwyn shouts: "Give me it!"
(00:02:06) Rigwyn says: "Just help me up, my friend... I promise.. that's all I ask you."
(00:03:11) Stashka pushes himself up from the ground very slowly, pausing on all fours "Ok, here's how were goin to do it. Just grab onto my back with your good hand if you can, and I'll try and crawl us both over there.
(00:06:31) Rigwyn nods slowly, then hefts himself up onto his good leg. With a painful hop, he places the glyph into his own mouth, reaches for Stashka's back with his good hand on Stashka's neck. As he does, he utters the words to a spell.
(00:07:11) Rigwyn says: [ you decide if the spell works or not. He is going to try to drain you in order to heal his own wounds - weakness spell ]
(00:07:54) Stashka gasps as the energy starts sapping from his body, and he falls heavily to the floor again "Riggy....the helll.....
(00:08:31) Jotrix shouts: ILL SING ME A TREBLE
(00:09:35) Stashka turns his head weakly to look up at Rigwyn in surprise and pain as he feels his life draining away
(00:09:49) Jotrix shouts: AH'VE GOT ME A FINE CUP O ALEEEE
(00:10:15) Rigwyn falls on top of Stashka, panting and groaning as a thick, foul cloud surrounds them. It smells of burnt wood and rotten flesh. As is builds, Rigwyn's would start to heal and close.
(00:10:33) Rigwyn says: [ * Rigwyn's wounds start to heal and close ]
(00:10:38) Jotrix shouts: DAKKKRUUUUUU
(00:10:45) Jotrix shouts: JOTRIX IS HERE
(00:10:58) Jotrix shouts: Jotrix cackles madly throughout the citadel!
(00:11:09) Stashka gasps and moans, pushing weakly at Rigwyn as his own body takes on the pain
(00:11:12) Jotrix shouts: Ha ha ha ha! Where be findin' tha diaboleh?
(00:11:21) Jotrix shouts: AH'm GONNA RING HIS FOCKIN NECK!
(00:11:26) Stashka says: {will he literally get the same injury?
(00:11:28) Jotrix shouts: Ooh, pretty archway.
(00:11:39) Rigwyn says: [ no - just weakened... sapped ]
(00:11:43) Stashka says: {ok
(00:11:58) Jotrix shouts: ... There once was a man who lived by a laaaaaaaakkkee (vabratto)
(00:12:20) Jotrix shouts: The Dermorian's blood will taste sweetly
(00:12:49) Jotrix shouts: I will cut allll your throats! Hee hee!
(00:12:53) Rigwyn begins to cough and gag on his own phlegm as the dark cloud eases and the last of his wounds are reduced to deep cuts and half encrusted scabs. Not wanting to kill, he lifts himself off Stashka and steps away.
(00:13:13) Jotrix shouts: JOTRIX SEES DAKKRU HE SEES! HE SEES THE TRUTH OF DEATH!
(00:13:20) Jotrix shouts: HEE HEE HEE HEE!
(00:13:25) Stashka lies on the ground, nearing uncounsciousness, still staring up at Rigwyn in shock
(00:13:37) Jotrix shouts: JOTRIX KNOWS THE TRUTH OF DEATH! ALL IS CLEAR!
(00:13:51) Jotrix shouts: Jotrix cackles madly throughout the Citadel.
(00:14:32) Jotrix shouts: Where be the ancient scroll, tell tale of the undying light of darkness? Jotrix knows not!
(00:14:50) Rigwyn spits a thick, bloody wad of snot onto the book shelf, then wipes his mouth in his sleeve. Looking down at the elf, he reaches down and attempts to lift him off the ground. "I can hear that stump of a man in the distance. Lets get out of here!"
(00:14:50) Jotrix shouts: Only the Gods know, but what do they reaaallly know?
(00:15:05) Jotrix shouts: Hee, hee hee!
(00:15:16) Jotrix hacks away at the bookcase.
(01:16:38) Sarras holds her longsword in both hands, the tip hovering between her and Rigwyn's form. She takes the first step down the flight of stairs and into the darkness.
(01:17:21) Dannae holds her breath stifling a new urge to call Sarras back
(01:18:16) Rigwyn holds Evirea's cool, scaly neck once more, savoring the moment, watching, taking in the intensity of it all. Feeling a pulse in her throat, he tightens his grip, pressing her flesh beneath his finger tips as a smile stretches across his face. Unaware of Sarras, he hisses loudly, "And this is what its like when mother takes the last of your breath away. Mommy loves you, Evirea. Mommy loves you this much!"
(01:20:26) Evirea's claws fly up in futility to Rigwyn's forearms, and her eyes roll dangerously in her head as the diaboli presses down upon her windpipe. Her breath begins to wheeze out, desperate attempts to bring air into her starved lungs, as the man savors in strangling her to death.
(01:20:49) Sarras suddenly steps down and thrusts her sword between them. The blade shoots in line with Rigwyn's neck, but only with enough force to graze his skin lightly.
(01:22:17) Dannae brings a hand to her lips hushing the sudden gasp on seeing Sarras thrust the sword
(01:22:50) Rigwyn looks at Sarras as if terrified, but still holding Evirea's neck. With a quick smiles he shouts, "And now you will know what its like when daddy watched mommy kill the kid! Stop me daddy! " Suddenly, his eyes widen, and his arms flex as fingers dig into Evirea's neck with full force.
(01:24:41) Evirea's throat cannot withstand the pressure from Rigwyn's fingers, well-positioned as they are. There is a popping sound, as her windpipe is crushed beneath the man's hands. She ceases in her convulsions, red capillaries seen at the base of her eyes as her head falls limply back, last breaths whistling out from a decimated throat.
(01:25:34) Sarras looks rather crazed. Her hair is damp from the humidity of the sewers, and her eyes are wide like the madmen who wander it. Rigwyn's shouting startles her, and she withdraws the blade, now rearing back and lunging at his head with her boot.
(01:27:19) Rigwyn's head is knocked back with a sudden crack. Losing balance, he falls over - letting go of Evirea's limp neck in the process. Feeling dazed from the blow, he strains to focus his gaze on Sarras.
(01:28:35) Sarras nearly topples over herself, but she regains balance and points her blade at Rigwyn's torso. "Why did you kill her?!"
(01:31:15) Rigwyn steps back as he gets up, his arms stretched out to the sides like a cross. Gazing at Sarras through his filthy, yellow eyes he tits his head and chimes, "It came from deep down inside. The ME inside me just did it, and I did not object. Perhaps you would like to see what I showed her, elf?"
(02:13:52) Aleeane can't scream, but starts thrashing around. It might be writhing in pain, but she looks like she may be trying to use the last of her strenght to hit Rigwyn in the face. She would not be able to land any effective blows - probably the worst she'd do is get some of her own blood in his face.
(02:15:43) Sarras stalks near the [whatever the heck is happening]. Shocked, she staggers back a few feet. Her sword is instinctively drawn, in the blink of an eye, and her feet switch into a fighting stance.
(02:15:44) Rigwyn throws a fist full of gore at the fountain - splattering it all over the stone block and ground. Reachin up once more, he splays his talons as Aleeane's fists meet his face and chest, and begins to thrust his claws towards her heart.
(02:18:02) Aleeane is probably in the few seconds before death at this point. Her entire body convulses and she reaches for a dagger, but it goes clattering to the ground as she slumps over, going limp.
(02:19:56) Rigwyn thrusts his powerful claw into Aleeane's chest, then leans in and forcefully shoves his taloned hand in deeper. Eyes widening, his forearm bulges as he squeezes her heart.
(02:22:50) Rigwyn rises to his feet as Aleeane's bloody heart vanishes from his hand. Her body too vanishes. Turning to face Sarras, he splays his huge, klyros-like wings as his eyes burn like fire. Engulfed in foul, black smoke, he raises his claw to his own throat..
(02:24:05) Sarras's blade lowers slightly as she hesitates, overcome by both awe and confusion.
(02:24:22) Rigwyn lets out a warped, toothy grin as his talon sinks into his own throat. With a violent jerk, he tears a huge gash in his throat, splattering and spraying blood as it opens.
(02:25:20) Sarras lets her blade's point hit the ground. "...Oh."
(02:27:05) Rigwyn suddenly falls to his knees and transforms back into a diaboli as his spell wears off. Bleeding profusely and wailing in pain, he falls forward and lands on his face. A pool of blood builds around and beneath him.
...my character was a goof.

So, now that many years have gone by. What are the current definitions of oldbie, vs midbie, vs newbie?
-
You don't want to know.
-
Oldbies just bestow the title upon a worthy player non yet inducted in the ranks once they have reached a certain level of crankiness or dustiness. ;D
-
Good times, Volki, good times.

This is soooo applicable to how I feel right now.

You might be an oldbie if you remember this thread starting.

I still remember the day Miss K handed the reigns of being the global mod for these forums over to me. Hopping back here every few years and still seeing neko kyouran created stickies at the top of some of the forum sections really brings back all the memories. Sad the day I had to give all that up and delete that account, but I didn't want it get hacked and letting someone have their way with mucking up these forums after all. At least I still have this alt account to log in with.
I hope everyone old like me, as well as all you youngens are all doing well.
I may return here in a few months with a special surprise hello from another old community member. If can get her approval, I want to make it public here first. It'll be only fitting, since this little old game was how we met in the first place, after all.
Take care Planeshifters. Keep on, keeping on.

Good times, Volki, good times.
Hmmm, Thats's PoC's sign! (or Plank stole it ;-))

...if you remember a really annoying Klyros always trying to create drama. ;D

I grew up in Hydlaa. Half a lifetime ago it feels like. And it nearly is on closer inspection. I logged in the other day for the first time in years and it gave jaded me a sad, bitter feeling of nostalgia. The game itself is great and the new features are neat, but I sorely miss all the old friends. It used to be that every sliver of time I had, if I wasn't in here I was thinking about it. But it just isn't the same now. I miss Rinenud.

Rinenud was a fraud. And a liar. And a corrupter of youths. In all, an abhorrent bounder. Be glad you are free of his influence and move on.

No. Midbies are not special snowflakes like newbies and are not entitled to their own thread. They don't get hand holding and coddling for lacking knowledge or their asses kissed for being here first and in many cases, being crappy players... but I won't go there..
Heh… quite judgmental of midbie players.
I bet Damola would be a midbie. But played by a crappy player? Well… make your own opinion.

Yeah, I was just joking around.
How've ya been, Damola? Still playing these days?

Still playing. Albeit mostly on weekends. Uadjet does such a marvelous job with GM events on Saturday. And then on Sunday there is market and on some weekends Dev Q&A.

So, still some life in there. What the new version will bring is very interesting. Hopeful someone are around to play when the time comes. Although Falmer is not as old as Aliencat Aliencat I have played for a somewhat long time.
-
Hey, look at that... people still rolling around here. :o ...Wow! I've missed these emojis. ;D
-
Illysia! Good to see you around again. How've you been?
-
Hiya Zwei :) Good to see you too. I've been up, I've been down, but I'm still ticking. I still even drop a wall o' text or two on people from time to time. ;D How about you?
-
I'm doing well, thanks for asking! Busy with work, grad school, and developing for ps with what time I have left. Should have the next alpha out in a few days if you find yourself wanting to visit some familiar places with a new look. :)
-
Looking forward for the alpha!
-
Time is playing tricks in these forums. Sometimes a tick is one day, sometimes it's 6 months. Or more. ::|

I think Rinenud is what actually killed the game.

Good to hear. I wish you well in your grad studies. I may eventually get around to checking out what is new. Who knows. :D
By the way, I miss these forum smileys. :woot:

Ah, the things that don't change around here... Almost makes me want to drop a wall o' text on everybody for old times sake. ;D

In 2009, I used feminine wiles to ensure the destruction of your guild.

Seems this thread will not die, so let me say that:
You Might Be an Oldbie if... You Can Remember How this Thread Started :lol:

:) So in that regard I may still not be an oldbie, cause I have no idea how it started. Anyone who knows care to share this story?
