The Nostalgia Thread

*walks into room*

*farts*

*walks out of room*

I remember people used to post vid's of Wizzys from PW MYEN destroying everyone in 1v1 combat, as proof that wizzys were awesome.
The counter reply was always 'lvl 100 rank8 toons are unrealistic, such OP things don't count as a full class example'

I remember it all

-People would only take experienced players into Rebirth?

This part is still true for me, as a veteran barbarian puller in rebirth. Sure i could do it with lesser players/noobs or just drag an ungeared sin in for BP - but meh.. some people rub me the wrong way in delta when they think they can do better at pulling than me, which actually makes it worse cuz they're alpha maling all the aggro off of me.

maybe you think that makes em good - i think that its terrible cuz its resetting all the work i just did to make things easy on the rest of yall.

This post made me feel like posting in forums again. b:thanks

I remember getting the autopath option as a full awesome feature... o.o omg, we don't have to search for things anymore.

I remember being taken to fb19 without even knowing what was it about *hey... i got this quest called call of duty... what is this?" We'll take you dont worry, just follow.

I remember the lvl 60 barb hollographic (Harshlands server) doing the fb19 for me.

I remember hollographic getting happy one week later, because he could sell the gold for 190k, which was like OHHH so much money.

I remember buying my 1st perfect hammer to open my acc stash 50, for 750k... in those times chest of coins were, actually, valuable to open.

I remember getting my 1st mount, a polar bear. He was so cute.. I bought him with gold, later I realized i should have sold the gold and buy him with coins.. but meh.

I remember getting my 1st kirin, it came spurred and bought it for 4m. I still have him.

I remember getting magic points on my archer to "add magic attack to my attacks"

I remember QQing at reading archer's guide builds, and when I realized my bow didnt make magic dmg. >.< Then I had to buy a reset note and it was all good

I remember people recommending hybrid builds for archers, as we couldnt survive the aggro from bosses (and that archers couldnt be tankers... ever).

I remember doing pirates in nightscream island with a barb friend of mine, and getting so many coins from DQs. Also grinding on butterflies and vampires over the swamps. (I never did spiders on my cleric).

I remember the first time I went into FC, we were a squad of 8x (i was 82), and we died at second boss.... by the time we get there, it felt like if we were inside 4 hours.... "oh i hate this instance soooo bad".

I remember people leveling with oracles, and the server calling them oracle babies.

I remember the 1st time I finished gamma and felt so pro.

I remember when the tt90 xbow for archer was the ultimate weapon.. and everyone wanted it. I remember one of the cash shoppers of my faction lend me 8m coins to buy one refined +6 and sharded. I was so sad when I couldn't resell it for more than 4m coins.

So many things have changed and this is soooo old. I liked this time better.

With the fourth anniversary approaching I'd say it's time we have a recap of the events that have changed this game ever since it was released under Perfect World Entertainment. I laid out a few of them from the first year already, but I'll leave it up to you people to post the rest so we can get a bit of discussing going on.

So...

Do you remember when:

Wow, this I do remember:

-Closed beta started?
-There was no auto-path?
-People were outraged at the $1 = 1 gold rates?
-Holding back your damage in order to not take aggro was considered a vital skill?
-Krimson and Jewels were the big baddies?
-Venomancers were the bandwagon class (much like sins are now)?
-Your ultimate skills were something to look forward to?
-Sets of fireworks cost about 25 to 50 silver in the boutique?
-The Ancestral Kirin was considered the most epic mount?
-The website looked like this? GODS YH i MISS IT
-Having an alt was fairly uncommon due to all the quests you would have to go through?
-The maximum zoom-out distance was about half of what it is now?
-You needed to lure dungeon mobs one by one?
-You needed a venomancer to do said luring?
-Teleacoustics were expensive?
-Tomes were incredibly rare?
-People did FBs for the EXP and reputation?
-Getting your TT60 weapon was an amazing achievement?
-The first expansion?
-Everything in said expansion being too high level for 99.9% of the playerbase (world bosses, warsoul weapons, chrono maps. third fairy...)?
-World bosses took a lot of coordination and manpower to take down?
-Apocalypse Pages were a valuable drop from FB89?
-People would only take experienced players into Rebirth?
-People did Rebirth Orders other than Delta?
-Deciding whether to go demon or sage was usually done in your mid 80's and not before you even made your character?
-The second expansion?
-61+LP genies almost didn't exist (there were only a handful of level 90+ and xp/sp was hard to get)?
-The first anniversary?

Well, do you?

So true, miss the old days so much!

Some things I remember:

End of Beta boss spawn event (last weekend of beta) Gold being very cheap 30k ea roughly Game was more about skill than the $$$ you spend on the game When cata barbs were untouched inside catapults during TW (targeting system created) After the first targeting system was implemented cata barbs started using birds to hide More teamwork in the first year than now due to lack of gear/people learning Larger diversity on builds back then compared to now (used to be better) Servers had a friendlier environment back then It was a different game before Anniversary Packs

Yeah I remember when you could do TW's at lvl 50, before genie's veno's phoenix bleed was considered OP, on my server the faction Triad was like all veno's, and god I miss 50-100k gold.

LOL if I'm not mistaken, the Triad guild leader got phoenixes for all the venos and that's why they won :P.

Yeah, those were the good old days. I think I'm too behind with all these updates, to ever get caught up again...

EDIT:
Back in the day, every weekly update wasn't a CS sale.
