    Have you tried rolling on a different server?

    I rolled a cleric on Archosaur and played him for a couple of months, but eventually I just got frustrated with that server (primarily because of its tiny population, most of whom were either goon-glitchers or people who didn't speak english, or both). If you've never played on an old server like HT, I strongly suggest you give it a try. Because unless you're intending to go into competitive TW (lol), HT is better in most other aspects IMO. :P

    Hahaha yea I actually came from LC server but rerolled to arch when it opened (and then quit the game for a good few months)

    I have heard alot of good things about HT though and I've always been tempted to roll on that server lol

    Dead on, I miss the journey through the game now when I ask low lvls if they need help its always "How do you use this hyper stone?" or "Can you power level me to 100?" and it makes me sad b:cry more plvld noobs who can "credit card" their way to the top(and yet not know a thing about how to play their class) and also get better gear than someone who has been playing for years. b:shockedb:angryb:surrender

    Do it. HT in general is: lots of people (though still a lack of people in classic zones), lower prices on everything, more competitive merchanting market, and a lot of cynics and trash-talk in WC (the latter becoming humorous more than unsettling once you realize that you're still on a PVE server so you can safely disregard all the little kids).

    Send me a forum PM when you do, eh?

    very well put together, and good location shots-though it would have been good to add shots from the original 3 FBs of the Untamed, Human and Elf, and have the character escorting us through the vid be one of the original classes. i had had the impression that you were going to show them in action, since we *were* the original players.

    i doubt any of the new classes ever zhen or do any of the things we 'oldtimers' did to raise level/spirit/coin.....the hard way.

    oh, heres my contribution to the pic collection:
    nzpv9f.jpg

    this is the first appearance of FoxDancing, my first version of my current character. this was taken with my son, with his first barb, on Lost City. aside from the old characters (which no longer exist, after we moved to HT), look at the toolbar in the lower right corner. remember Slacker?

    the video is aimed at all the things we use to do as a community and groups as a whole rather then the solo world its become for us, and what's changed the game into what it is, we all continue to play for our own reasons and we'll never forget the memories we made.

    I tried to include as many activities and locations as I can, share yours if I have missed them! And please like the video if you agree.

    since there seem to be so many old HT players here, perhaps some may remember the (almost) all veno guild of Artemis, owned by Flauschkatze? there are a few of us around still, i know. well, this is a pic after we did an instance (cant remember which it was that popped you back to Broken Bridge village. this is a pic of my son, LordDeerskin, in the midst of a bunch of poohed out foxes!
    rr2gl3.jpg

    and for those who knew her, here is a pic of her in her famous white pixie outfit, before she won the Steampunk outift (man, if you can remember that, you really have been around a while! ^_^). we are sitting in a house in Ridge of the Dreaming Cloud, discussing guilds- we were both in White Fang by that point, having learned that venos need the help of a mixed group in a squad. after White Fang closed down, we moved to Nocturne.

    14bj1ck.jpg

    i miss her. she was my first friend in HT, and one of the best.

    (btw, if you want the "Fly With Me" song by Toni Gonzaga here you go! personally, i like this one better.

    D,: I love and miss the old UI, the newest one is obnoxiously huge. You need a 19+ inch screen to play in windowed mode without any overlap. Also there's that lovely gigantic deadzone that was around it, which I'm not sure if they fixed or not because I use the TB era UI.

    At least the Old UI was ornate, but not in stupid areas, and it was fitting to the game.

    +1.

    Other version of PW actually has the option if you want to use the Genesis interface or Tideborn interface; which the option is deleted in PWI.

    I play on a 18.5 inch screen..so I guess I just got used to it.

    I don't like how my entire screen is consumed by menus....genie menu, chat boxes, mini map menu, blah blah blah....I reduce them but I need them...

    So I guess I understand why you say it is huge....could use a little downsizing, for sure :)

    i really wish there was a way to make the chat box line, the part where you type, bigger. i have low vision, and i cant see what i am typing, and if im in a squad and have to say something fast, i have to stop and put my magnifier on it, so that what i say is spelled right.

    and do we really need three chat windows? the usual one, the one that lists different things, and the one for the damn Horn? two should be deleted...or we have the option to delete the whole shebang down in that left corner, as you can in JD?

    Well of course it will suck if you're not used to gaining exp slowly (not in a squad either) and simply only ever had power leveling thrown in your face with BHs and FCs, that's the problem with today's community, they're all power lvling/hyper babys.

    Compared to the super quick experience you get in today's game it would seem bad, but 4 years ago that and fishing was the super quick experience because you gain 1.5x the exp rate when killing mobs in the air or underwater.

    There would be pk fights all day long just to control the spot for a party of 6 to grind and it was the place to go if u wanted to PK, much like west arch and SP is these days.

    To put it into context 1-90 took a year to achieve, these days its like two weeks max, so 90% of people following the new-style EXP methods wont even visit these places. b:sad
