veteran reward?

[Veruliyam]

True veterans are the ones that grew up hauling speed 8 cargo disks full of bronze or sandstone to the consigners in the four original starting towns - walking through the waist-deep snow with no road bonus, uphill both ways....

And they were thankful for that salt rock bonus!!!

Did they kill gruoks with old tomes?

[awdz]

real old timers deleted scads of essence of blight as a useless crafting bonus drop that took up waaaaay too much bulk...
c'mon folks, what else defines a real old timer?

actually, this is kind of off track for this thread, i'll start a new one for this under fun stuff. :-)

and when we got home, our dad would kill us and dance about on our graves singing hallalujah!!

you try to tell the young folks of today that, and they don't believe you!

Hey I definitely did that (only it was harling speed 8 cargo disks around the hills of Chiconis to fill our hoard with tier I gems...ahh I remember when those hills were filled with hatchies ).

But we were NEVER thankful for that saltrock bonus!!

Real old timers remember when silos came in one size, had doors you had to clear in order to build, and couldn't hold ANYTHING.

Later, when you put one something in a silo that was open to you, it was in EVERY silo in the community that was open to you.

Or how about they remember when iron and nickel had to be made into bars individually before they could be made into steel bars? Or when iron and silver were mined just outside Sslanis in a two-tiered crater mountain?

OOO, I know! Remember when Dalimond had a flourishing sandstone and bronze field, right beside the cows? You had to watch for the enraged wisps because they'd attack you while you were gathering!

real old timers leveled from 65 - 100 on animated marrows and tier 4 spells.

I did 60 to 100 doing wraith quests and cursed wolves quests. Over, and Over, and over.

Bah, kill 30 cursed wolves FTW!

My God how I hated the salt rock bonus

[Favoran]

Real old timers have been around longer than me. >_>

Ah those lovely super slow cargo disks...but real veterans remember you could park the disk at the field, run into town and when you reattached the disk it would magically port to you

Man, what I'd give for that function nowadays...

[Sssargon]

On launch day:

I remember spending most of my time trying to find zombies on the starting islands for that quest.

Collect 10 Zombie Fingers and bring them to ________.

100 hatchies.
1 in 20? drop-rate.
1 goal.

I think that quest drove me insane X.x

I also remember all those beetles north of Dralk, where if you turned left into Char you would get swarmed by them. Oh and there was that giant flaming-thing, forgot what he was, so long ago since I last saw him.

The giant flaming thing was the named fire golem in that small fortress in dralk that is still there but sadly abadonned. The golem was often sitting in the small mini volcano there hehe.

[Sssargon]

Ah I wasn't sure :P I just remember a bunch of us trying to kill him.. we failed badly (We were all level 30 or so If I remember rightly) but it was fun, he was massive! I do remember being scared of him at first... it was fun.

It's a shame I couldn't continue playing after my first initial subscription. I didn't let my parents know if was a pay to play game and they refused to let me use their Visa, even if I was supplying the money for it. Phooey.

But I am back and action, thanks to Paypal and German Bank-to-Paypal money transfer and I have no intent on leaving!

Or inventory lag so bad you could gather & gather & gather without anything showing up in inventory. Gather for half an hour, then race to the processor once the first few items started to appear, praying that you'd make it before everything showed up & rooted you to the spot...
