Do you?
These past 2 weeks with no decent computer have forced me to get a life. :rolleyes:
It's made me reminisce on the good o'l days of crpg when everyone thought that buying plate armor was just impossible.
When everyone yelled 'TIN CAN NOOB" in chat
When there were almost no Cavalry
When we had the 200 man NA server for a few days
When we had a 120 man server
When ATS was the only NA clan with any organization and steamrolled people
When Lady Gaga pissed everyone off with plated charger
When BeatrixKiddo raped with the flamberge
When crymoar beat whole servers with boulder on stick and perfect manual blocking
When everyone yelled "auto-blocker" when crymoar blocked 6 people in different directions
I remember when i bought my first piece of decent armor.
Do you?
That's old days? lol.
Old days were the 2010 summer imo, when we had no Cavalry, no Sniper Crossbows because only Gnjus used one, and slowly archers started to snipe in full plate armour.
:)
I remember before items were balanced at all and still used native values, which led to most sarranid armor being amazing for its weight/protection ratio. Sarranid mail boots, 1 weight, 30 leg armour, 3k gold or there abouts, crazy stuff man. Back when every shield user was huscarl + elite scimitar. Back when archery was insane if you were good with it, yet paradoxically there weren't a lot of archers.dont forget to mention that every shielder had at least two huscarl shields ;)
aww the good old days
Did you know that the ninja clan is the second oldest crpg clan still in existence? Guards being the oldest (If i remember correct..staffmasters came first, then guards and ninja.. IRC/native clans are ofc excluded from the list).
I kinda miss those days, less plate and more diverse skill-builds. And you actually had to think when you planned your build (before WM was changed).
And since we only had one server, people knew each-others and knew how each of the big-hitters looked like.
Skill-wise crpg has evolved alot. Back in the early days (bit silly, since it was only about a year ago) people generally didn't know how to block. And thus the people that did knew how to block, became known and some even legends. (owzan/argento/ptah & chimp etc)
Also since the leveling was so harsh, we had fewer archers/cavs, less high-levels and perhaps a more even playing-field.
There also used to be more teamplay, shield-walls and the like looked awesome, although not the most effective strategy.
aww BNCshrek.. the first guy to get the black-armor. Think he played almost non-stop for nearly a month :D
The drama with vincento was golden, and for those that are ignorant to what happened:(click to show/hide)
haha and CID, the douche-bag everyone in cRPG hated, sometimes i miss his insane ramblings on knight/lords vs peasants.
Argh and that merc guy (cant remember your name:S BLAH) that introduced horse-archers for everyone, may he be run over by a bus :P
For me the "good ol' days" were the day we finally got an NA server, which fielded maybe 30 of us at peak hours (sorry Noctiv, not that I didn't like playing with all the EU guys, but 200-300 ping sucks ass in any game). We all knew each other pretty damn well for the most part, Fedor rocked the MorningCrushStar of doom (and people whined for nerfs), Destin rocked the sumpter horse, pitch fork and straw hat (and people cried for nerfs), I was pretty much the only "hoplite" on the server (and a peasant looking one at that with a short spear, nordic shield and short war sword), etc etc. We had epic peasant battles and the "grind" to a weapon that wasn't in the bottom quarter of the list was monumental. Oh, and 80% of the server was lulzy in believing that 7.5 was the "cap" on athletics. Lul.
Granted I just don't have the time to play at all anymore really, but I still miss those days.
also the alt-x jokes were hilarious when u saw 20 people simultaneously die
Side note: Damn you Gnjus for making Crossbows popular, I remember a lot of people wanted to copy him, and see what happened months later?
x)
I remember Gnjus calling me a spammer all the time. =(
Lisa got pissed at me for once cuz I was shooting his duel rival from spawn to spawn I remember his words : God-like aim but no Dignity!
I miss Birdman!
I miss Pik Nik (Pew Pew)
Torch and black armor was good shit
I miss Birdman!
These past 2 weeks with no decent computer have forced me to get a life. :rolleyes:yeah, great times... Lady Gaga pissed me of and crymoar was my hero. :D

Do you?
No ninjas out there remember the backstabbing sprees? What!I remember back in the day myself, defeaning, and you fought on the duel server for like most of the day.
The frequent duels that happened at the end of each round, which usually resulted in the last guy on the other team defeating 5-10 others- probably because we'd all wait until the end of the round to come out and get our e-peens tugged.
For whatever reason, people were less aware of their surroundings, and most of my kills before December came from backstabs.
In combination with the fact that I could recite the names of every player who could manual block well, let alone chamber, led to what I recall as a time for individuals. This might have been local to NA, I'm not sure, but that's how it was.
As the archers hit level 35 and higher, the team chat often looked like this:
Someguy: okay, let's kill Lorn and Kesh
Otherguy: Sure thing, you guys go do that, I'm going to protect DaddiNasty and Coldhart.
And since I made it my personal calling to hunt archers, it made for some good times with the archers. I think I got to know all of them fairly well.
There were a lot of good times, but after people started hitting level 38 and more it started getting ridiculous.
Then came the patch, and for awhile I thought I was God when everyone wore light armour.
January-February were great times for our clan in terms of exercising banner balance. I'm not sure, but we might've been the first clan on NA to start rolling siege for constant x5. Every now and then, someone on a battle server would mention that another clan (usually Northern Empire or RS) was rolling it and we'd all gear up and head in for some pretty epic tactical battles that would get the pubbies cheering for both sides.
Lately, though, the lack of Strategus seems to be driving folks away. Heck, I'm getting restless myself, which leads to living on the duel server instead of running around in siege/battle.
Because at the end of the day, all we want to do is fight over imaginary tracts of land and take part in devious political plots, god damn it.
Crosshair was like 3 to 5 times wider then these days and it was very hard to hit anything
occasionally play Vikingr now, awesome mod, too bad people are just god damn grinders who cant play for fun and thus brilliant mods like Vikingr dont have that many players.
Visually stunning, but a very boring mod unfortunately.
Yeah, no grinding at all, you play for the fun and beauty of it. :wink:
I remember when I used do duel in the EU servers, under the name "ForlornSoldier", i actually applied for marcs but you guys rejected me :(
anyway, I would get seriosly pissed when I would die, I believed I was blocking right but something was screwy, then I get NA server ping and now I am amazing :D
O and I remember when Uthred and SUPERBEAST were the only tin cans, they were really the I WIN button players.
I don't care about grind, I care about the fun, just like yourself. Only difference is, I don't find the fun in Vikingr. I have fun playing native, crpg and invasion, but I can't say that I'm enjoying myself too much when playing Vikingr, which is a shame actually, considering the visual details in that mod.
I miss Birdman!Me too.
I sorta miss crossbow-wielding tin cans with flamberges. *wipes tear from eye* The good o'l days. :cry: :)
Holy shit, that was you??? I remember trying to recruit you to my clan the Keshian Dog Soldiers.
holy crap its uthred! The first tin can!
Argh and that merc guy (cant remember your name:S BLAH) that introduced horse-archers for everyone, may he be run over by a bus :P
The very first HA name I can remember is Cris (he started playing again lately), was he a former merc ?
Speaking of Crymoar, I never did get to duel him, I am sad :( - though I think carebear might be crymoar
I remember being on the NA server and feeling so excited.
Then Miley and I were one of maybe 3 archers on a map at a time, depending on what time you played.
Wow, that was ages ago. Before I even had a mic or drank, lol.
Also: Kesh, I remember the days before people said I HAD YOUR HAIR :cry:
I was the first red-headed archer GODDAMNIT!
Back before they added the new hair and you had to have that tacky braided shit.
And then cRPG made you an alcoholic, it happens to the best of us. jk ;). By the way my character was the first with SEXY red hair, probably part of the confusion.
I remember fighting Jesus
This! Jesus and Muhammad. :D
This! Jesus and Muhammad. :D
I would have to say Kesh is a much cuter girl IRL
sry vic
Sorry but Kesh looks like a rubber doll compared to Vicky......I'd take the red rose of Texas anytime, no matter the tits. :wink:
:cry:
Oh ya?
Well.............
my boobs are bigger!
Ha!

I can't agree more on the second part. The first HA is the original sin that gave birth to the most epicly annoying and cowardly class in a videogame of all time.
I remember those last weeks before the patch when I discovered the looney tunes axe :cry:
And when The_Finn was raping everyone, black armor + plated charger. I wasn't really concerned since I had the chance to choose cavalry from the very beginning and he wasn't really dangerous for me.
The only thing I miss about the good ol days is watching crymoar rape the entire server by herself.
Aparently Carebear is crymoar - makes sense very good blockingI believe I've seen them together.
:cry:
Oh ya?
Well.............
my boobs are bigger!
Ha!

You two are just... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSEYXWmEse8#t=4m38s)
i need the option "the time when gnjus and his fucking cheaterclan still didnt know the mod" to make a proper vote
He even built a house in the meanwhile!
Also: Gnjus knew this mod before you even grew your pubic hair, lad. :wink:

Ahahaha, let me guess: youre the Odin who keeps trolling Dave for the last few days, calling him cheater (probably because he beats your ass every time) and all kinds of different names, griefing, insulting, etc....and getting away with it ? Just keep it up and pray to your gods that admins cant be bothered with checking the logs. :wink:

I remember Tincans being the leaders on the field with retinues of leeching peasants, xp barns, and making the stupidest build of all: the Jack of all Trades. I wasted a lot of time with that build, using lots of weapons very badly. But the best thing was when Strategus was in full flow, and I hired myself out for free for a couple of battles, and one ended up with our team spawnkilling lots of naked people in a circle, which made me almost die of laughter.
Indeed. :wink:
What happened to players like : Appe (he was such a my old friend ^^); MTE; Cris; Kesh (GTX after nerfed at lvl 46?) and Panzermarine?Appe still plays.
And i really miss the times when i was hiding somewhere near the battle in my lousy armor just to get a little bit money.
And the 222 ppl server was epic fun until it crashed.

Appe, Cris and George still play. Mtemko got hired as a shepherd in slovenian Alps so he doesn't have the time to play anymore, he needs to take care of the sheep.
Lots of stuff to miss, but I'm glad the XP-BARN!! days are over :lol:LIES! That was the best damn time ever.
gnjus opening the door,
Barn and firebombs, open field + shield walls, strategus beggining, all the battles i won as last man standing against 5 to 15 people and so the hero myth, my fellow mercs i played with since 1 year now even if the clan wasn't created yetI once took up defense against the irc using the same goddamn tactic. People finally listened to me as a commander :P. We were hopelessly doomed, but we made OkiN rage so much about the casualties that he didn't pay a lot of the mercenaries.
i think it's the best things i'll remember from this mod
invisible shields, turtle mod with shield on the back, prison in the sky, invisible walls in open field, when heraldic mail was one of the best amors, first beta-test of strategus against templars, gnjus opening the door, villages castles and cities we took with the lame shieldwall and archer spam tactic, ehr it's also some of the epic events i knew
you obviously didn't see what kesh was wearing at her sweet 16.....
LoooooooL
