Sorry. :lol:
:evil:no brah, only bundle of stickss are sentimental is what i'm saying
You cannot hide your emotions from me, buddy. I know deep inside you're boiling with rage because out of ca 50 players you didn't get mentioned!
Newmy old friend for not knowing Fallen_Jesus.
Thats it, im calling ur parents, they should lock ur pc again!
I like how everyone says that to Bjord.
Newmy old friend for not knowing Fallen_Jesus.Fallen_Jesus? No, not that guy, noone cares about him. You're a newmy old friend too!
Sun_Njord and Jesus, two of the most annoying archers ever, ultimate nemesis..es? But archery was extremely OP back then.
You don't know Jesus (whoever that guy was). Newmy old friend.
Why is my name never in any of these bloody things? Does no one notice my physical prowess on the field of combat?
I thought it was the plain old Pike that Jesus used to pwn a ton of people and yes, the difference in skill of the average player between now and then is immense.
Fallen_Jesus? No, not that guy, noone cares about him. You're a newmy old friend too!

Were you even playing then? I don't think I ever encountered you until after Christmas. :?
Not exactly sure when I started playing cRPG but I remember all of the ye ole nostalgia stuff people go on about in all these threads and I'm pretty certain I played before last Christmas.
Yes, well... That's a choice you have to make. ;)
Stay respectable, stay unknown. Or kick ass in some way in order to compensate.
Be a loudmouthed asshat, people shall know of your name.
Newmy old friend for not knowing Fallen_Jesus.
Even I know that guy and I'm a true newmy old friend...
Hmm, wasn't Jesus member of Merc?
Hear, hear. Bjord isn't really a gigantic asshole, it's just his tactic to become more known. ALL AN ACT!
Yeah I kinda miss the feeling of knowing practically everyone in the community. Incidentally, you missed Fedor :D. Only NA Merc, back when everything was still just one server.
You're probably right, but you must've not been a loud mouth like me then.
Basically, all of the mentions have been people I've either had an argument with, whom I've spoken to on more than one occasion or whom I've battled it out with like a boss.
Some people all of the three. :lol:
Hmm, wasn't Elvis a dancer?
No, he was in 22nd.
Oh cra- No, not at all! Frack you Xant, you Finnish hobo. Go spank your back with brushwood in a sauna or something.
Xant doesn't have a sauna, he uses his kitchen that silly hobo. And it's not sanitary I tell yah!
Most kitchen sinks have more bacteria in them then a toilet.
Random fact of the day.

I didnt think you'd been playing that long, so I find this post kind of ironic.
I think u echo a lot of peopls thoughts bjord
Maybe we should just ban all players that aren't willing to donate 5 euro/dollar ASAP. That will give us that tightly packed community again.
PS : I remember like 95% of your list. And I'm forced to note that many, many vets don't play anymore.
Oh my god, HOW could I forget about you? I hated you for so long because of that Strategus battle where the opposite side forgot to equip their troops, some Chinese faction if I remember correctly. I would intentionally grief you by standing behind as you killed people spawning with overheads and then try to kick/banpoll you. What a fucking asshat I was. :lol:
In any case, you were always one of my favourite targets in the olden days, mainly because I hated your guts. :mrgreen:
Nice post Bjord, but man, how could you forget Muhammed? The stylish Muslim player, welcoming every1 by saying salam aleikum! Also, any1 knows if Fedor is still playing?
Btw, I've seen the old Jesus playing recently a couple of times. He still kicks ass really hard.
Also, you forgot to mention the ultimate early crpg champion: duckmoomoo.. or something like that.
P.S. I was the second player that bought horse in cRPG. Guess who was the first? You didn't mention him as well.
I think that move would make many veterans leave the mod.
It's been roughly a year now and I can feel how cRPG is becoming much like Native when I stopped playing it. Repetitive, boring, rage-inducing. More importantly, the mindset and the behavior of players changed. Before, the game had that lighthearted feeling. I never realised how important that was until we lost it with the january patch. People weren't hating each other. Most of the time, it was just petty rivalry. Now everybody is forced to win. The mindset evolved into what I can now call crap. What was meant to reduce the grind only did one thing : make it invasive, make it the backbone of the whole mod, governing everything the player does. Instead of three peasants hiding behind a house, now you have roofcamping, FOTM builds, balance lobbyism, delaying, glitching, hacking... Now people do everything they can to win, even playing chars they don't like. Because winning = earning gold and xp. And you need gold because otherwise you can't upkeep your equipment. If there was no need to win, the game would be much more enjoyable for everyone. If winning is the only way to have fun, most people will only have fun during half their playtime.
You can't really force people into not grinding if you allow char progress. Giving oneself goals is a natural way of enjoying something. Linking the grind to a behavior will lead to an increase in that behavior. In this case this is winning. At start everybody thought it was good because people would play in teams etc. But we didn't expected how it would completly change the way individuals play. Now I can say that it created many problems for only a slight increase in teamwork.
Things are finally going back to normal for me as I start looping between various games again, instead of playing cRPG nearly exclusively.
PS : I remember like 95% of your list. And I'm forced to note that many, many vets don't play anymore.
Bjord, I remember you always being around back when I started last august. And you always trolled and insulted me or ninjas(Was known as Keyoke or Ninja_Keyoke back then, when I retired I switched to Khorin), and I always tried to stay polite, but you made it hard sometimes.
Anyway, we settled our score a while back and I love you, buddy. Wouldn't have been cRPG without you. :wink:
So many good memories from back then.. But I make new memories all the time.
crymoar
Replica was also a good archer.
You were always the irrational voice, Mte. :P
Anyway, you were one bad ass archer. Oh and speaking of archers, how did I forget about Mustikki? And there's one more memorable archer I can't seem to remember the name of. He also played as polearmer, his name started with S-something... Spammed like crazy, pissing everyone of.
Yeah, that was hilarious. I gave that poor kid Torp a hard time too for being in Ninjas. My behaviour was sort of like a natural disaster, people accepted the ruthless nature of it with a pinch of salt(Swedish saying).
No I distinctly remember it being an awlpike, and he was using the Vaegir Warmask together with Saranid Guard Armour.No. He was running around in light armor/robes and a Pike (long spear) or sometimes spammed the GLA like mad. I know, i followed him around tons and then always cussed about how OP pikes were, when against him (i was a 2her then) :lol:
i play this game from the frst day of crpg dont get mentioned but i dont care jsut wanted to add u missed a lot of people.
Well I didn't play that early in development but I remember one especially deadly horse archer. Can't remember his name but I know he always wore Surcoat over mail and had a longsword as sidearm, riding Cata horse. I think he was best horse archer at that time. Do you remember him by any chance?
Heh... I really am not forgetting people on purpose... Murmillus, I was going to add you it's just that I'm on my phone. You can't expect me to remember everyone.
@Aemalius, you're just mad because you're a newmy old friend. B)
And there's one more memorable archer I can't seem to remember the name of. He also played as polearmer, his name started with S-something... Spammed like crazy, pissing everyone of.Pululu

Will never forget scor. The only guy I've ever looked up to, as far as archery goes. :)
Hell yes, scor was awesome. Right next to Birdman imo. Chimp also had his awesome moments.
Weren't SUPERBEAST and UGLYBASTARD (aka Jormglorm) veterans too? And don't forget Bifi! :D
@Bjord, yeah I'm a new my old friend. I started playing just before the first strat.
A few days ago I noticed a player with the name 'ze Bjordslayer' or something like that.
I do miss seeing the "old names" on servers, seems so few of us left.
ps. to SgtTeehI've wondered if it was you. You were one fast bastard back then.(click to show/hide)
At least from Bjord's list, most of them still play..
I've wondered if it was you. You were one fast bastard back then.
Dropping crossbow? u kidding? its the only thing that can kill 2hander tincans.
That and every other weapon. Of course, you'll need some skills, possibly. The horror!

Teehee, I started playing cRPG when there was only one EU server that reset every 30 minutes. I didn't play much or often those days though, was concentrating my time more on MMO's at that time. I'm not even sure I used the nick Vibe, probably not.
From those days I only remember these names:
Oberyn
Gnjus (Plate Armor + Crossbow :D)
Akincibegi
There was no retirement, generations, heirlooms, strategus, NA or clans back then.
Agreed with every word, it's as if it were my own. Also, forgot to add you too. One of my favourite Frenchmen!
Nice post Bjord, but man, how could you forget Muhammed? The stylish Muslim player, welcoming every1 by saying salam aleikum!
ahhh peasant wars, one of the my fondest memorys from back then 8-)
+ lvl 46, QQ where art thou? ^^
oh my and those damn 30min resets and before that we had to copy and paste from a textfile on the homepage to update our chars, lol
Some really really old videos from me.Lol the exact same playstyle as you have now. Have you been rocking the same class and look for more than a year now?
Back then you could wear everthing as long you had the money to buy it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS4p-ovTLp4
And so it have looked if there was a databse reset.

Golden age! Hell No THAT WAS EU SERVER PFFT!
And Crossbows sucked then, like super bad(compared to the other forms of ranged then). Hell, Carrying a great maul, arbalest, bolts, Cookie sword was possible while wearing full plate, swinging 500mph.
Hell Archers could wear blackarmor and shoot pinpoint accurately then too.

I don't care, away with your criticizing words! I choose to remain in my blissfully ignorant world, and you better keep out of it! :evil:
Ahhhh I miss the peasant wars, they were very refreshing. I went by Tomas_Traveller initially before changing to Tomas of Miles. It was possible with the slot system and the leveling to make decent jack of all trades hybrids back then, although I was too sucky to make good use of throwing, archery, and numerous melee weapons. I'm still a Noob For Life. I also couldn't use much of the highest tier stuff in most areas.
I remember Gnjus didn't even want to allow archers in the clan initially. Olwen and I finally talked him around, told him we'd try and recruit the best archers to our side so we wouldn't have to face them in Strat.
Melee School, how does that sound? :lol:
And Vic will join that school and get All A's.
FORGET IT!!
Vicious has no potential. :twisted:
By the way, just a spontaneous idea I had! When I get my desktop back I was thinking about starting some sort of training project for anyone who wants to participate, no matter the clan. For two handers mainly, but anyone who is interested in melee would of course be most welcome. We could all decide for a day every week where we gather on a duel server, or maybe even ask some clan for permission to use their own servers.Are you getting your desktop back soon? What's up with you being all helpful all of a sudden, there's something fishy about that, I'm watching you!
Melee School, how does that sound? :lol:
Wasn't this BC_Shrek guy or something the first one to ever get the black armour? I thought that was quite memorable as well.
And yea the game was a lot of fun back then, even though archery was insane. The feeling you got when finally being able to afford the armour/horse/weapon you wanted for so long was just great. But obviously something had to be done after nearly everyone was walking around in full plate 24/7.
I meant Vic the Bear the NA girl Gnjus had a crush on.
EHUM ^^
Hate to shamelessly advertise, but the Mercs have been doing reasonably regular trainings for our new Merc-academy members.
One or two hours of training > weeks of playing experience. Burrik and Muffin and those guys know tricks i never picked up in my many, many hours of regular play.

Yah and i totally support that idea. Heck, if it gets going i bet a lot of mercs will participate also.
You need a good teacher though. Someone who does all the explaining and analyzing on teamspeak. Do a few excercises, like chamber practice or hilt-slash practice, then analyze what's going good and what isn't.
Also, private tutoring by the better players, like letting them watch you dueling and then getting private advice is gold.
Also this thread just needs this video link to make sure it will be epic.

Here is a song for your thread :)
You were beaten to it.
For fucks sake...fakkin Ban Josip.
And mine is premium quality, yours is a crappy vid :?
I think by far, Berenger, that you're the most annoying person I've come across on the internet...
Thanks for the compliment. Really means alot to me. Thank you. So do i get a mention or not? :shock:
And encourage you even further? Please...
Out of interest, how long as cRPG been running these days? I believe I am up to a year and a half or coming up to two years, something similar anyways.
I would hardly say that everyone knew everyone lol, whilst there were less players on at one time than now, the community was still relatively large for such a new mod and there are a good amount of people who say they played since cRPG was first released like I did, that don't know me and I don't know them ( by name ), simply because I probably played when they weren't playing and vice versa.
Still, do have nostalgic memories, some bad, i.e when the only gold and xp rewards you got were for getting a kill, leading to 99% of players jumping into a fight spamming to get the kill and killing their team mates in the process :lol:. But some funny ones, remembering Jesus pissing everyone off, and also monkey with their skills.
My first memories of Strategus - it was fun until everyone realised archer spam was the best way and then most sieges were just 3 hours of being shot by arrows. :lol:
Did not see the dawn neither. But chadz did comment on talewords forum: And up to now, over a year after release, and this was in February 2011.
So January 2010? I'm sure someone will tell us the accurate date.
I started playing crpg the next week it went public..I think in mid June 2010?
Warband was released on 30.03.2010 and cRPG came out like a month and a half up to two months later, somewhere during MayHave to edit this. Yes Warband was released 30.3.2010.or Junei think.
I see the ye olde sir of shoveled faces.
Heh I think some of those are back when we had 1 server or just after ATS opened their servers up.
Also, notice the large majority of templars? Think about how long that was when templars were THAT large!
hehe and the crazy thing was that those horsies weren't nerfed back then.
god, the horror, the horror :shock:
i miss my ladders :cry:(click to show/hide)
I'm not in the list. In other words, this list should be discarded. :twisted:
What I liked from back in the days before Strategus is how many clans allowed alt members. When Braeden was a Templar I had an alt Ninja (who later joined the Shogunate) and a Bandit and all sorts of characters hanging out with other groups. It was all very nice and friendly, because no one had anything to hide and also because there weren't enough people around anyhow. Sure, there were people who hated one another and falling outs, but most rivalries were fun and sporting.
The drama is fun and all, but not when it is serious.
U mad?
And it's Phantom from Byzantium, not LLJK.
Also read the first post again, says nothing about the list being of favourites or people I appreciate. Hell, I put Gingerpussy and Gnjus on it and they were my mortal enemies back then.
