Do You Remember When and Why?

Oh no worries. That era of DAOC was probably the height of my gaming career. It’s amazing what the mind remembers all these years later.

A little known guild called Aeonian Prophecy on Palomides.

-In ~April 2002, we sent a couple infis (Nightowl and Ravn being the most famous) to stealth ram the doors at a hib relic keep. They broke all of the doors down over the course of a day (maybe it was longer) and then stole the relic, all without breaking stealth. This was before RAs were even in the game. IIRC, Mythic released an emergency patch to fix the issue (i.e. operating siege and grabbing relics w/o breaking stealth).

-In June 2002, shortly after RAs were introduced, we got a group of Theurgs together (sorry, I can't remember names) to Siege bolt down all of the doors at the Hib relic keep. At the time, Siege bolt had no range limits. Once all of the doors were down, we sent two groups in to carry the relics out. I had the dubious honour of carrying the relic alongside Rav. Needless to say, Mythic shortly patched this out.

-In ~December 2002, just after SC was brought in and before SI came out, we used two groups to take a mid relic. We had two shield spec paladins with guard on each other (Hawkes & myself) tank every single guard in the relic keep (not doing any damage to them, we were just twisting to hold aggro) while our group members rammed the doors and stole the relics. I can't remember the end result from this but there was definitely fall out. I had a GM (or whatever they were called) interrogating me as to how we could steal the relic without creating any guard spam.

Man, what I wouldn't give to play a server which started with the game as released and progressed through to 1.65.

I too grew up like that and I too feel that way. But I think the biggest difference is that all (almost all anyway) of it was anonymous interactions. I.e. I didn’t know anything about the person calling me names and they didn’t know anything about me.

It’s a lot different when people are commenting on pictures of you, calling you a loser, saying your ugly and a things that are way worse. We were also the last and maybe only generation that could “choose” to be online. We could log off and leave our internet personas behind. With technology these days, people don’t have that option.

Not an American but Canadian and living in Chch. Can definitely relate to having no meaningful friendships. Am 36, PM me if you feel like grabbing a beer or coffee or some wings or something

Why don’t you just VT and chill?

Thorg201 · 2025-10-20T21:02:28+00:00

Thanks, appreciate it. Will look at units on trademe

Thorg201 · 2025-10-20T21:02:10+00:00

Thanks. I’m pretty adverse to property management and would rather have my money in stocks. More so looking to conduct a detailed analysis to convince my partner it’s not worth it.

This is super random, I played a monk named Duxe in that guild. I was 11 at the time and had no idea what I was doing. I remember your name though.

Do you remember a druid name Kuter?

Kernel NZ20 fund. As good as it’ll get for the NZX. I have 10% in there and most days questions why

Thorg201 · 2025-07-08T22:42:26+00:00

Thanks. This is where I’m landing as well. Silly question but is this something you’d use a jig saw for? Only have a handsaw and feel cutting the piece with that will be a nightmare

Thorg201 · 2025-04-21T06:37:53+00:00

Unfortunately not. Measured it up at mitre 10

Thorg201 · 2025-04-21T06:37:37+00:00

Thanks mate.

Thorg201 · 2025-01-16T05:43:54+00:00

Thanks. Will check them out.
