Remember when...

[Snafu]

Remember when...milkshakes did not increase your soak and you could actually have shouting contests with the Wizards?

Lets see how long we can keep the thread going...

Remember when about 10 wizards all decided to hang out in some mortal's backpack for a while, just for the hell of it?

Cracked me up when he looked in his backpack and freaked out.

Whose pack was that?  I can't remember.

[Snafu]

Ya know. I don't remember who. But I DO remember doing that countless times with many mortals so it could have been just about anyone...and it was so long ago, that I'm sure more than a few of those who had hitchhikers may be Wizards now too.

What was even more fun...is when someone hung out in the pack...and then the mortal decides to dump them in the bin. DOH!

Remember when Monks could bury Lepers when they were faking death?
Such fun, though the Leper didn't seem too happy.

[Snafu]

Remember when damned guild membes could cast brom's death 'nysterlie?' spell? After that they were able to gdevour the corpse and get almost unlimited sp. Its no wonder they were always spamming the shout line, which is usually the domain of those pesky Wizards.

Remember when Leo's Archsword was available in the /examples directory? It had some obscene WC, and was an example of "This is a weapon that's too good for the game", I think.  /examples was primarily available as a default exit from a wizard's default workroom, so they could start learning LPC and how to create rooms, objects, and monsters.

Then one day Sambar auctioned Leo's Archsword on the Tradeline, and I seem to recall Leowon teleporting poor Sambar to the highwiz's workroom, demanding to know how he got it.

Well, Sambar said, you see, I looked around, and saw an old wizard (Gatelord, was it?) login, and the mortal I was talking to was transed from church to the wizard's workroom.

Yes, yes, Leowon said, get on with it.

Well, Sambar said, I made sure I was sober so there wouldn't be the "So-and-so is drunk" message, and dried myself off, and did a silent forced goto to the mortal. It cost all my spellpoints (plus 15!) but I appeared in the room without a message.

And? And?

Well, I prayed that neither of them would "look" and see me there, and I waited for them to logout (nice conversation they had, too) and walked into the examples directory and took the archsword. Then walked out, took the exit to church, and wondered what a poor Simyarin would do with that sword?

He made Sambar give it to him. Tsk.

Remember when Earendil's MG was on the mud.

You'd go around and there would be splats all over green, village path and village roads. The most satisfying splat had to be the bailiff.

Then there was the time you were able to drive the car into the area north of shop! Smorgasbord baby!

Not to mention the time you could drive it south of Adventurer's Guild. Can we say "how'd you get there" *innocent look* No! It wasn't the small car you see here...it was..um..I just woke up and there I was! Yeah! That's it!

i remember when the leper guild had a few members that could be messiah. one day Kurgan and Lazarus were competing for the title each with a 'personal' monk in party. somehow herb garden was waaay to small for our needs.

[Belegur]

Remember when you could pump your hps in Gruhl's area?  I remember messing around with Terwin trying to get uber hps.  I think Ysidro was the master of this though.

[Snafu]

What was even better...was multiple rhuks before Brom recoded them so that a demon kicked your ass when you 'abused' them by using more than one.

Mage guild was fun when could store your sp in your staff and have effectively over 400sp.

[poogie]

Remember when you would log on to telnet and hope and pray that the mud wasn't full so you could log on immediately? Otherwise you'd have to wait in the queue, watching for people to log off, so you could get your fix. (Or was that just me? )

[poogie]

Oooh oooh! Remember when you thought that Gwendolyn, Barbarella, Alexii, etc were really women?
/P

[Snafu]

Why stop there, I could name countless others... In fact, in the early day, everyone was considered male until proven otherwise. *cough*

/Snafu

[Iceblink]

Oooh oooh! Remember when you thought that Gwendolyn, Barbarella, Alexii, etc were really women?
/P

I must admit, I never did.

I knew who Barbarella was...  and I always assumed Alexii was a guy named Alex who had characters named Alex and Alexii.

There were a couple that I wondered about though.

I remember a rl friend of mine being monk and leper, at once ... pretty funny stuff.
