Was talking in skype with the bottom of the barrel types i have on there and as per usual we went to talking about the old days. This will be a thread for all us old folk to post funny stories or links to old threads :D I will start off with what i shall call the peasant revolt! This was the time when i was a Mod of VU and some lil Penguin fella spoke to me on IRC and told me about his multi account, so i posted it in the mod forums and requested a full mutli sweep. Zeta deleted penguin and Lew loled at them so ofc they got super mad. Hilarity ensues | ||||
Penguin was funny as fck. | ||||
We need all those players Back <3 including that Penguin guy :D | ||||
How do you actually “feed” in this game, other than selling resources at a very high price that can be seeb if you look at market? | ||||
Kick players from your kd and take their cities. All members in a kd sell stone to a member for say .6, who then either stg's it or resells it back to his kd at a higher price, say .8 Force the market price down on an item, for someone to buy it all up and resell at a higher price, or native it. Usually done with trees. | ||||
Kicking your own people can be a tricky one. Often you are shamed-out in public for doing such things. Some doesn't care - some do. I belong to those who do care - BUT. I also look for the best of my kingdom, so if/when we have a inactive player and we are under attack for real (just as last era with RoC on Mantrax) - I kick the inactive player and allow my mates to take his/her city/cities. What-ever others say to that - I don't care (anymore). It's better to keep the ressources within own kingdom than giving it away (same as feeding) to an attacker. Personally I don't participate in the taking over - but the main-reason is, that I know when a player will be kicked. And I do not want to use that insider-knowledge myself. | ||||
I remember that era, DLO. That was when each account could only play one map, instead of multiple maps. Penguin's main account was in Mantrax (where you were in too), while he had a second account in Fantasia. He was being very open that he was playing two maps. Of course, all of a sudden, his cities and armies disappeared, LOL! Oh, I remember that was my second era ever, and my first time playing with two of my six best players of all time, Greg and Trogdar Liech. They blew through the whole Mantrax from South to North, and I think they both essentially "soloed" the newly formed kingdom of Retribution, in which you were in at that time :D Was an eye-opener for me, watching two players practically take down 15 players on their own (Trogdar was 100% merge stacks on his own). That was my precursor to Fantasia level play, which we (then known as Elements) went to next era. Good memories, but damn, so much time spent on VU, LOL! | ||||
Wall of Fire My earliest memories include that resources were not shared among your cities. You had to send resources form city to city based on needs and there was a travel time for those resources based on distance. I remember the Zeta Zealots and the formation of RoC from the ashes of the Shinobi Empire | ||||
Thian, stop lurking and come back to the game. Anyways, I regret not chronicling the past fifteen years or so..my earliest memory was getting my ass handed to me by virgin and auspice who then felt sorry for me so showed me the ropes...I think we can all agree a lot of crazy shit went down. Some off the top of my head: The agent smith incident where they used market feeding (at the time the market was crossworld) and control time spell to sweep Fant with tens of thousands of nazzies. The awesome wall sitting war between carnage and Zeon where we sat large merged armies on the blockers and had to use scouts to stop one another from wall hopping When Q and others split off of Legacy and created DB When Chade decided to swear off his wife and declare his undying love for all things VU | ||||
Open or not TBL i had no idea until he told me :D I don't think i was playing very actively at the time ^^ The drama came when lew made something up to mock penguin and you guys ran with it. Soloing kds is pretty fun i must admit, so is holding off entire maps with 2-3 guys, its hard to do but gives me fond memories too :D | ||||
I still remember Zeta throwing us noobs onto Fantasia with no clue what we were doing... should’ve been called evolution not utopia;) | ||||
I had 3 multi's. what a wasted youth. | ||||
prep work for adult multitasking; your call on the waste factor | ||||
Oh shit. I was there, knew all the posts here. I’m not that old. Waaa | ||||
I remember when Zeta introduced some measures to increase the pace of the game, so when arma was cast all armies moved at top speed and preptimes where removed. We had section off a huge part of the map and had a stalemate for a long time but then I woke up to find arma had been cast and Carnage had a huge merged army that had simply walked right into our core, split up and taken everything. *sadface* | ||||
Ohhh yeahhh!! I remember that! Good old times! | ||||
Very few of us carnage left😞 very few of anyone left for that matter😞 I also missed the times when zeta put the game on hold for like 2 weeks between eras to institute new changes... Or how about the 3 man kingdom era? Or the one time we had a side window on the map showing naps and maps because we had to make it official in the system? | ||||
hahahahahaha very funny. i wasnt "fed" it was just farming to some point and then razing towns (the less land you had the cheaper the troops where) made 10k nazz and got deleted on one account, the other one remained. good old times | ||||
Anyone know if wraith is still around? | ||||
Sadly, is not. Been several years since ive heard from him | ||||
Damn. What about Slade? | ||||
Crossing maps Was best time and unlimited colonies. | ||||
Slade is around | ||||
What about Binh? I learned a lot from that guy. | ||||
Roxbury? | ||||
Binh got married and lives not without internet. Rox is everywhere. FW in Mantrax and some other KD's around. | ||||
Setting my alarm to get up in the middle of the night to do an attack, getting phone calls from Kingdom mates to logon and cast spells/do an attack, planning shopping trips around "the tick", etc. Anyone else remember when the tick wasn't on the hour?? That was fun. | ||||
Steven! Good to see you back in the game😜 | ||||
The Wolflord: Tje fucking Wolflord!!! I have him on FB if you want me to pass on a message lol | ||||
Tell him I said hey! And he should come back. Miss that dude so much | ||||
And that he still would be among the few, that could become leader of RoC (he is one of the 4 founding-fathers). | ||||
I've tried getting wraith back a few times. No such luck. | ||||
Carnage!!! | ||||
nononononono | ||||
LGC :D | ||||
When us warbook players join vu and started dark that was fun.. | ||||
When people had the same ruler name, username and password, that was fun. | ||||
/who was a bad command but I agree! | ||||
My friends and i always used skype to coordinate our wars chats etc.. so when we first joined the irc chat for vu, it was like going back to the 70's or something, that chat was SOOOOOO outdated it wasnt funny..!!! | ||||
12:36:22 Apr 3rd 20 - Strawberry (Ms. Fiora): When people had the same ruler name, username and password, that was fun. Please tell me this is a joke...? | ||||
Holy Crap, I found it!  | ||||
Holy damn it’s Archi!! Back from the retirement home? I love seeing that orange but not too many of us left😞 | ||||
Stormy!!! Still alive and kickin, eh? Haha, they let me out occasionally. Just found a link to VU on an old computer I've not used in years and figured I'd check it out a bit. Yeah, I didn't figure that there were a ton left, still nice to see that orange glow every now and again. | ||||
no thanks. | ||||
What's up party people | ||||
