    last year i uploaded a lot of my screenshots (dating back to early '03) there. i guess, most people find them really boring because they didn't make them themselves, but who knows..doesn't hurt to have them

    Happy Birthday RubiKa

    Congratulations on being one of the oldest virtual worlds in existence.

    We loved, lived, dreamed and bled you.

    Here's to many more years.

    Favourite memory? Mort Borgs. My first time there on Argo, as a froob, in a really fun pick-up team. Getting taught how to kill them, those 'oh carp!' moments when you get aggro and need to start running. Making so much progress that I actually outlevelled all my RL friends in that one evening. Hitting lv100, which at the time was a huge milestone. And all the while listening to Pendulum REALLY LOUDLY on repeat. Hearing them still reminds me of that evening, and I always find Borg teams fun because of that.

    Either that or my adventure in a daily mission with Means the other day!

    Happy 9th Birthday, AO. I can't wait to see what the future has in store for you.

    Many years back,
    on my first or second day in AO i accidently landed in a reets whompa. I didn't have a clue what was happening and where i was going but was sure i would end up in some high end dungeon and die horribly.

    When i found out what it was about I was just totally amazed there would be such a huge place completely dedicated to social events. But that's exactly what AO is about - it' s a huge social event,

    looking forward to the next 9 years of it

    My favorite moment...

    Accidentally running into a Baboons whom-pah at early levels. I ran around in Omni-entertainment for a long time crying for help! I had no idea where I was, or what to do. There was no one there. I asked the OOC as well. Ended up having to attack a guard...

    Oh, and when I first bought the expansions... My friend was telling me the XP-gain was AWESOME! I was like: "Holy carp, I'm there!". Then he ran me over to kite hill and wanted me to just sit there. I almost cried.

    Well, here I am after 2 1/2 years, and I'm hoping for many more!

    Happy birthday AO!

    Ooh. This too. I was also damn proud of my first. But also:

    On my first day off noob island, I ran around bor and was staring wideeyed at the flying cars wondering how I would ever afford it. Then someone flew past in a Stiletto... I was like "ok I WANT one of those".

    It stayed a wet dream for awhile, until FC decided to give froobs NW access, and I suddenly realized I could now actually achieve my dream.

    After many months, and lots of hard twinking (you try getting 920 VA on a TL5 froob, aint easy ) I finally got it built, and then finally equipped (think i had it in my inv for a few weeks before i reached the 920). I was so tripping the day I got it on. Must have flown throughout every single zone on a giant cruise, listening to the Top Gun anthem on repeat too many times.

    Best memory, with no doubt, I met the love of my life, my wife, in AO. Holds a special place that can never be replaced.

    Devs, funcom, players, all part of a lifetime memory, now that is something

    SOOO about that rebalance thing....

    Things I loved:
    Standing inline at game store for the Boxed Edition of AO at release.
    Opening it up and having the wall poster special edition map of Rubi Ka.
    Patching 11.0 to 12.0 when 12.0 was the current patch.
    Running from 20 roller rats in the original back yards are level 2 screaming HELP!!!!
    At level 24 rolling full hard missions to open chest to find your fist Yalm. Yes they were chest loot till like 12.3 or so.
    The original character creation lab.
    Being accepted into the first wave of beta testers for SL.
    Test server Character Wipe - Starting on a fresh server is so much fun. Really it is.
    First time walking through arrival hall.
    220 on first toon.
    Watching Kicky become the first player to reach 200 after release.
    Dove's Map getting included with the AO client.
    First battle with Beast ever ... 140 toons with GM/Dev help and we got so wiped.
    Getting fed to Tara on Test server just because a GM/BH/Dev thought it would be funny.
    Dropped from 999.9 altitude and falling to your death when fall damage existed - again on test server. Those BH/Dev's have evil little minds they do.



    Some not so favorite moments:
    Original Dimach getting nerfed. Still pissed about this FC.
    The original Freedom Arms pistols getting removed from game.
    ELLTS taken out of shops and loot tables.
    The 12.6 patch. How many folks have both roll back tee-shirts?
    The lost of the original GUI
    Saying good bye to Dove when she left the game. Best wishes to her where ever she is now.
    The original SL gardens - they so sucked. Glad they got changed.

    People I miss from my AO time:
    Dove

    Party's over. Had a smashing good time.

    I was "Selbin" (froob account). Good evening all!

    THINGS i miss..
    - Fall Damage!
    - actually losing XP when dying.
    - Reclaim! omg


    i remember the first tower battle on RK2. so many people in the zone, people were apparently getting error messages that the zone was full, trying to get in on it.

    and course, the original, MP Black Sunday. what ever happened to TheDeacon!? i led the march on rk2 and it was just crazy. 5 hours to walk from Hope to ICC! (yes, literally "walk"!). which reminds me...

    i also miss the old skool missions. where there was only one big room, and all the others were the super tiny rooms. so easy to get lost, so trivial for the pets to end up getting it on with door frames.

    speaking of pets.. i also remember (And one of the causes of Black Sunday) how Mez Pets would be lethal to the owner and his team. where they wouldnt actually mez a target, but rather... que up all the attacks. so outa no where, you'd be hit 6 times by the mob, and be instantly dead.

    and then speaking of lethal pets... all the techniques pet prof players had to learn when running around outside or inside, to keep their pets from getting stuck on the smallest of random things... *sighs* people today just dont know just how horrible pet pathing was years ago.

    okaye THANKS for making me feel so friggin old!

    Level 1 to 300 in 8 Years! Pwn!

    My fav memory is....
    I'm logging in and see one of my alts in game. WTF! I never ever even thought about giving my password away, but here we are, my alt is on.
    Then, I realise that some GM logging my toons 1 by 1 and stripping them all off in bor basic.

    And then, it ended up with... I think many people know what happened...
    Whatever, happy birthday AO, keep it up Means n Co.

    And bye AO, was nice...

    Actually his sig does say it all and it's very much in the playerbase's favor.

    The support team is working hard to get rid of one of the biggest problems in the game, and that's exploits. It's sad that Arty had this happen to him, but if he had not equipped the items though legitimate ways we would all be cheering on the GM for their work.

    Means said to Arty that they put new safety measures in to make sure a legitimate player doesn't get stripped again but I would take 500 Arty events happening if it meant that they got 5000 illegitimate twinks.
    "A whole new place to run around for ages in then die suddenly without warning."

    "I know who coded pet pathing... and when I see him I say "/follow" and I start waling in to walls :P"

    The "Trolls" option is incorrect. The term trolls is not used to describe the gathering of information on the Internet.

    It's hard to catch 5000 when there's only like 50 twinks left on active accounts IMO
