I joined in v0002 and i remember a stuffload. My builds were crap, add-ons were scarce, and clans, REAL ones, were abundant. Just from the past in general, i remember a few old stories.
First off, i attended the release of the Afghan DM. The best weapon (in my opinion) on the map to find was the Uzi, the original one. If you have the Mac10, it was much better.
Second story: I was at the release of Jirue's Ice Palace. We crammed the max into jeep and headed off down the road. At the "end, it split, the left leading to a crappy farm and a basic house which is no longer there. To the right was a toll booth and the access to the actual palace. i don't remember the palace being any different than it is now.
In continuation from there, Jirue cleared bricks and loaded some forest build (which i have because as a n00b you like to save things which look cool). it is a generic forest, the trees about 32 tall and covering the entire rooom-like area. Within, there are multiple treehouses and a cave entrance. The cave lead's through a small obstacle course then to an altar with a sword.
Story no. 3: Cog's Click Challenge. This came out i think when events did basically (v9-10 idk). If you havent seen or played it, it is a largescale obstacle/challenge course involving what were new events at the time. i would highly recommend finding someone who has it (like me) and asking to play it.
i could go on and on, but im sure most people are tired of reading this long thread. If you want more nostalgic stories, message me or just ask for them in the thread.
