When I Was a Newbie...

[Ghost]

Edit: The thing I'm talking about looked like one thing, but when you looked in it you found out more than you really wanted to know about it.

i can imagine it is more than 10 years old stuff

can you just tell us what it was?

[Twilight]

Bushranger, I remember that thing.  I usually encountered it on the road heading west from Nak, as I remember.  It would be awesome, awesome, awesome to see that come back.

I know its the right time period because the character that encountered it, Kentar, hung a bit with Flower and another mul  named Stix.   I still remember a time up in old Tuluk where Flower emoted picking his teeth with a dagger.  That image has always stayed with me.

[Ghost]

WHAT WAS THAT THING?!?!?!?

ARRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[Yam]

It was probably red and sandy.

[Archbaron]

I'm scared of the things that go bump in the dunes.

[Aruven]

Hah, um, I think I know what it is, but last time I posted about a creature on zalanthas, I pretty much revealed Kryl to the playerbase So I'll say nothing.

[Maso]

What's Kryl? 

[Archbaron]

When I was a noob I thought you could only forage once in each room.

[Ampere]

What's Kryl?

[Anael]

Tried to befriend a halfling. And because it's a roleplaying game, I proceeded to type a rather long emote after entering the room that little bugger was in. Plus, he had a friend in an adjacent room. I still wonder how they split all that meat.

When I was a newb.
- I walked up hill both ways to morning sparring.

-    First character was an assassin. Logged in, said "This game sucks." and went LD. Logged back in 3 months later (and 700 coins lighter. Someone was busy up until the mud crashed.) I was in Red Storm. I was, of course, a most deadly and feared assassin. The first PC I met, upon realizing what an extraordinary asset I was, sold me a flint knife and offered me a 1,000 sid to off Lord, or Lord Templar so and so. He gave me crude directions to Nak. After a long sleep in the desert (to raise my stam back up), I finally made it!.... into the rinth.
     It wasn't long at all before I was ganked by a few NPCs back when they would stop savagely beating the shit out of you when you went to the negative healths and wait for your ass to wake up before continuing. Luckily a PC rescued me and dragged me back to the Folley. He said he saved my life, and thus I owed him. He asked me what my talents were. Not wanting to spill the beans on my deadly mission at hand, I told him I was a great house-keeper and excellent sweeper. He killed me for being a smart-ass.
     Cue relentless string of short-lived assassins.

     Cue relentless string of short-lived assassins.

Amen.

I wish I could find some newbs I could pay to make probably useless attempts at killing templars. CONSTANTLY. That would be fun.

When I was a newbie:

- I made my first character in Tuluk even though the guy who introduced me to Arm (a co-staffer from another mud) told me to make in Allanak so he could help me out. So we created an elaborate plan to smuggle her to Allanak wearing a mask (to hide the tattoo on her face) and say she was a disgustingly ugly mute. He died to a poisonous plant the next day.

- I had a long run of very boring characters who had zero exciting adventures. Despite this I loved Arm and the world so much that I didn't even notice how boring they were at the time.

Please, don't.

[Synthesis]

Haha, yeah...I remember there was an endless string of newbs always trying to off Ihsahn.  Ysania also generated quite a bit of hatred amongst the playerbase, if I recall correctly.

Seemed like at least once a RL week someone was trying to kill her for quite awhile there.

[5 day lifespan]

My buddy and I used to go out for coffee after he was done playing Arm for the night/day depending on his sleep schedule.  I'd say, "So how's Arm," and he usually started with, "That stupid fucking bitch Ysania...!"

It was about that time I started playing.

Just recieved the responce to my Player Question request Ghost. Morgenes says "We still have the code for those." So I guess the best answer is 'Find out IC'

I was actually...joking.

The hatred crossed into the OOC realm too. Her player was despised for whatever reason. People used to cite favoritism... among other things.

[jcljules]

No one can beat that. I am awesome. And why would I be jcljules' alt? I've whined about his post count before, back in the day when he was a newbie and made a new thread every five minutes!

[Armaddict]

Ihsahn was a he.

[Fathi]

When I was a newbie, I branched a lot of skills on a character.

I thought Belenos added them to my PC out of pity because I sucked so much in combat.
