A real old timer is...

[Justa Mirage]

Probably already mentioned:

A real old timer remembers when dragons could multi-class.

A real old timer remembers the resource server lag days in the beginning when you could load up your inventory with thousands of a resource and hope you can run fast enough to the processing machine before getting caught with the stuff showing up, being "overburdened" and could not move.

A real old timer remembers the days of guilds camping Feladan because it was "THE" place to level groups off of the 35th - 40th level undead and spiders.

[jerk-o]

A real old timer knows it's easier to link items that can't be found in the game any more than to post about being an old timer in the forums....

[Drevar]

A real old-timer knows why there is a statue of Roxi in Back Bay on Order, and realizes that, yes, Horizons/Istaria IS more than "just a game".

Don't forget the statue of Volcane in Tazoon.

Don't forget the statue of Volcane in Tazoon.

Ahh, Volcane.. I definitely remember that. I should give a visit to the statue again.

Hmm, any more old-timer memories that are worth mentioning? This thread has been awfully quiet lately.

[C`gan]

A real old-timer remembers WHY the zoo north of Chiconis is called the zoo.

[Takora Drakan]

A real old-timer remembers when the Vielos still wandered around and sold expert forms that where only aviable on them. And when those forms costed up to 2g and 1g was back then a big load of money.

[velveeta]

o man, when i think of the gp it cost to get a complete set of exp weapons and armour forms.....

while crafting, i was reminded how an old-timer would remember the construction units having more bulk than the resources used to make them... and getting stuck waaaay overburdened and not wanting to lose a single construction unit...! and old-timer friends coming to the rescue with big empty pockets/disks/etc.

Lol, yes, that was terrible
I remember being very happy when that was changed.

A real oldtimer is either immune to Zymosis Morbidae (biped) or has the spell scribed (dragon).

A real oldtimer remembers when hoard leaked and dragons could not fly.

A real oldtimer has imperial task parcels.

A real oldtimer levelled his/her first dozen or two craft levels either making items for dragon hoards in hoarding parties - or working with a biped to have them made.

A real oldtimer remembers the likes of Krankenspank and AoP as deadly enemies - not the laughingstocks they would be if they returned now as was.

A real oldtimer helped free dryads and satyrs, and build novo machines.

A real oldtimer .. ah I forget .. old age and senility is catching up with me.

Wow, flashback I remember doing the quest for the Zymosis cure, spending days crafting spells for hoard for around 4 hoard a piece, and then having it leak while you tried to get ahead. I especially remember the competition for gold and silver golems, and the "soul fragment" craze back when they were easy experience.

That brought a lot of memories and laughs
Oh do I recall that 100 dwarfs quest... and AOP catching me inside a building in Harro, he could walk through walls, I could not. The last day of Life.

Old timers remember bulding the rainbow bridge, still 1 of the prettiest thing in Istaria, too bad too few see it.
Old timers remember the day when any mobs would kill you with 1 blow, even a lv 1.... lots of ppl stayed in town for those days. hehe

and my old time favorite:
Old timers remember when salt was a bonus.
