Title: Steel Blue Memories
Post by: garoninja on December 10, 2009, 03:08:28 am
Well, it looks like Steel Blue has come and gone so I decided to make this thread. Post you your favourite memories and/or screen shots.

When Gugrontid appeared and the platinum mine was discovered, whoah, everyone went running to Gugrontid. And when platinum was as plenty as coal, now it's hard to get something out there. Did get my tria from that short time I mined there. I don't like PL type stuff playing.
Then, the gold mines became Crystal Blue memories, I think they are deserted nowadays.

I remember having to /greet people ... Until you did, they were just "somebody" ... Or was it "someone" ?
Funny how people still use /greet out of habit today

The many roleplays, the auctions, killing monsters and suddenly having the NPC server go down, Proglin's Tournaments, many quests, the Introduction system, seeing devs come and go, repeatedly trying and then giving up training in the Magic Ways, The Great Shift of Ojaveda, The Eclipse, the introduction of Crafting; "The Gold Rush", the subsequent Platinum Rush in Gugrontid, the big Money Duplication exploit, the introduction of the second server. And of course the gargantuan amount of bugs fixed. (and many more introduced)

Ah, time, how fast it goes.

that midget house on the way from the tavern doors to the sewer. might still be there... i think it's an accidental portal projecting the image of a magical gnome house from another plane.

Pissing of one of those crazy chicken thingies on Ojevada.

I know that's not  steel blue specific, but I didn''t play much for steel blue.

I remember once being killed by a kirikiri. There was some glitch that made it ulber-strong. No joke.

I remember failed textures in the forest. When they appeared as multicolored checkerboard.

The gugrontfest!  :thumbup:

Wow, I just reviewed my screenshots, and they're actually telling a story. Much like my logs would, just in a nicer way.

I only want to post a few though.

I must have had that glitch cause too, because as I remember, I learnt very fast that those things are insane and lethal.

I havent looked on E-bay yet, but I love seeing things that remind me of good times as a kid.  The things from when I was a kid are in antique stores-- LOL  I will have to check Ebay out.

Man, the glitches in the beginning were ridiculous. But some of my favourite were when you fell down through the floors of things, and when textures became all checkered (<-- already mentioned, but I thought it was worth it again), made me feel like I was in some kind of board game world.

Well where do I start. The memories of steel blue were all the old players that i dont see around anymore Staylor is one of them. He was the first person i meet. But hes been gone for awhile. Qaneah doesnt play anymore (i know why) she was one of the first players i sold my platinum to. And my friend Amalric he has stoped playing for about 6 months now I wish he'd come back so we can have the good old fun role-play together!

Memories of Steel Blue:

When everything worked and you didn't know why everyone else was complaining of "leaf bugs" and falling through the world.

I decided i should post in my own thread. My favourite memory from Steel Blue was impaling Rigwyn on Garo's claymore during Grioums auction in Auctioning Victims.

Dude, i love the old interface. I have returned to ps after about a year, and i hate a lot of the changes, interface mainly. Is there any way i could use the old interface with the old chat box stat box, etc? I think I'm going to cry, i loved how it used to be, and i love the old mouse, the new one looks weird. The platinum spot changed to gold, i remembered i mined plat and sold it to a guy named plank who bought everyones platinum. I really want that old interface, and that startup screen, i want the old one also. this one has an old looking guy, the other one was like the peaceful side of ps. I'm very sad, i miss the good old days, when there were hundreds of ppl on at the same time, i always had online friends to play with.

So many favorite moments .. I'll pick one more

Very shortly after meeting her and jumping onto a roof, Rig gave Cerryce a sword. Rig was then confronted by Garosan on the roof. After Garo tried to convince Cerryce that Rig was a bad guy, Rig shoved him off the roof and the two of us fled to the sewers. Garo tracked us down .. Caira, Sarras and Mellas showed up too. Garo, Rig and Mellas fought, Cerryce jumed on Garo attacking him, we eventually fled after knocking Garo down once more. It was  a very spontaneous moment.

/me glares are Garosan with an evil grin "Just wait tin man .. you'll get yours..."

My favorite memory from Steel Blue was going to the sanatorium, or needing a healer over 20 times as Feonu.

Probably my favorite memory was when Leraider, Mandrith, Tenwyn and I all were at the sanatorium when it was first set up.  We had one heckuva good time there, partied like mad people around a campfire for little to no reason at all.  Then Mandy and I kinda went crazy and, we, uh, kinda burnt the sanatorium down  :devil:[yes it really happened].  Good times.  Made for a pretty spontaneous rp there.

Check out the customization section of this forum (or however it is called). You can download a skill from there that emulates the old look and feel. It is very nice. I'm using it myself personally.

I remember the day that it started to rain... what a surprise was that for all of us.

Including someone singing "I'm singing in the rain" on the shoutbox  :thumbup:
