Lol the exact same playstyle as you have now. Have you been rocking the same class and look for more than a year now?

[Oberyn]

Meh, so what, so have I XD. I'm sure Mala has some incognito alts.

I shed a few manly tears at the sight of those videos from the golden age. 

[Lt_Anders]

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!

Nice videos, plenty of old faces some of whom still play too!, Back then my name was Murmillo_Prime I think... Something like that. I remember downhill charges on that same map being surrounded by people in all them equipments. xD

My second gen name was Murmillo_Seccondus or something, then someone pointed out I spelt Secundus wrong, I had planned on going up the whole name of number route until I thought about the prospect of getting past ten...

Heh. I was there. That build i told you wit the 4 weapons was my equip loadout while I could. Once weight started mattering I dropped to mail, and now use lamellar vests as armor. Heavy just slowly went out of usage for me. While riding and carrying a ranged weapon become more and more prominent.

My Old name was: Anders of Rose.(or Anders II of Rose.)

[Tomas_of_Miles]

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.

[Keshian]

I like the ridiculous mention ****, lulz.

But yeah, sometimes I miss how completely dominant archers were on strategus and you would look for all the top archers for your battles. Where you knew all the top archers on sight from their face and hair and knew their playstyles, because it meant doing well or poorly depending on if you chose how you dodged and shot back.
In no particular order, just off the top of my head:

Qaki
TS_Robin_Longstride
pululu
Guard_Tenne
Druzhina_Nebun
Druzhina_ArcherKMC
Fallen_Loki
scor
Merlin666
Merc_cmpx (yes, he used to be a merc, would go 60-2 on sieges)
22nd_Baron_Tonixgut
Merc_Mustikki
Merc_Replica (replicunt another gen)
Chimp (hands down best archer in melee)

[Tomas_of_Miles]

Which dev was Ansatsusha? That dude was THE HOUSE of flying daggers. Scarily consistent headshots on siege.

[Oberyn]

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. That turned out allright XD. We tried to recruit chimp like a dozen times, but he was never interested in Strat. Pretty sure we tried pululu as well.

[Bjord]

I remember that I was incredibly anti-Merc during my time in Shogunate. I tried to smear Merc's reputation as much as I could in Hungarian so that he wouldn't join.

Oh and thanks Kesh for reminding me about Merlin666, Tonixgut and ArcherKMC. Also, two more Druzhinas that I forgot about. Bigbay and RXN!

Yeah those were awesome... I still remember when I threw a rock across the map and it landed in someone's face, I can't recall the name though. Incidentally, same thing happened to me once too. 

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.

Melee School, how does that sound? 

[Gnjus]

I still think we could've done it without all that scum in our ranks. 

If i managed to stand decently against the "drunken" Vincenzo (and we all know how "drunk" he was) then i recon a squad of able crossbowmen (with Jacko, Dave, etc) would be more then enough for any battle, even the Strategos ones. We could've compensated the lack of scumchers with throwers & crossbowers anytime, no matter how unrealistically OP they (archers) were (plate-armored sniping machine-guns & all that).
