Dunno.. I think I started playing cRPG in middle of may
I remember most of you guys, but I'm sure some of the other ancient players have changed their names and still play.. Maybe someone can tell us, when did cRPG become open beta? As in not just for irc members? Would be nice to know for jubilees and what not!
chadz, can you enlighten us?
When I've joined it was late April I think. I remember Oberyn, Ptah and Chimp already playing, Fasader was around often. Can't remember if Olwen was around later on I remember being in the same team speak with, Tempest, Replica, Mr.Shovelface, Mario, Lt.Anders, Rosewood and there was this annoying guy called Your_King. I remember that you came later on. There were only hand full of Ninjas, You, Saladdin and some names that I don't remember. Growl was still leader of Templars and their best archer was Tybox. Allers was the most disliked guy. These are the times that chadz was still playing with his black robe and crossbow. These were the golden age of cRPG. Buying a Sarranid Guard armor was almost impossible.
Back then the best archer list was, Replica, Tybox, Cawyn, Vincenzo, Me, Mokk and Chimp. Fire bombs were removed because of Gingerpussy (he killed 16 people with 1 fire bomb).
Later on other people showed up like Mustikki and Paul were the broken archers (full plate, 12 PD 12 PS. Str archers) First strategus (close beta) battle tok place between Templars vs Mercs later on it was the first ever flame war on cRPG too. Second great flame war started with DRZ invasion, nobody knew who they were and where they came from. All we know is their invasion came from sea and they quickly took the the lands of 22nd.
Later on cRPG got alienated from Taleworlds.
Todays Strategus is so different from the past, mighty 3 hour battles are history, diplomacy is more important than military power.
