64673, the days of old are gone
Posted by mbreedlove74 on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
I used to play CF years ago. A friend of mine in college showed me and a few others the game. We played in the days of Pico, Twist, BoltThrower, Cador and Scarabaeus. Hell I remember the game when it was Tar Valon and New Thalos. Back in those days Battle was at war with the Tower and Shadow was the coolest thing around. But those days are long gone and most of the good people were run off years ago.

Every now and again my friends and I log on in between other games and real life issues and try and get bask some of that nostalgia. But it’s clear the people who run the game these days want nothing to do with that.

I remember when they put pera-grouping in the game and tried to label people with that just as a quick and easy way to get rid of some people. But no one really took it serious because it was a stupid rule then and it still is.

That is one of the things this game used to gut the friend element out of the game. It would seem that the only people that should play this game are the shut in who has no friends other than those on-line.

I guess I have had enough this time, maybe my play style is that of a dinosaur and has no place in this game today. Years ago I would post something more like this: “I AM GOIN TO CON DEATH ALL YOUR CHARS AND GANG RAPE ALL YOUR FRIENDS”, but I guess I have changed as well.

Hell maybe I just killed and looted his lowbie.

Yes some people who play together or at least know each other and have way for ooc communication. Since we have low player base it is somewhat okey (may be you won't get anything special from Imms like third legacy, tittles, leader positions but no one is gonna deny you for that). But there is difference between occasional playing sessions when these players together and pussies like you who ALWAYS login together, run together, pk together just because you don't have balls, brains, spirit to do something on your own. Go away bitches.

Well, you can look at it like this. Finally 2 goon gang banging, full looting newbs are finally gone. Or, you can view it like, thank gawd, now we can continue to stack up our lowbies with high level gear without fear of getting ganked by them two dam cloud giants. Yay for the orcs!
64677, Those bitches
Posted by Elhe on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
did not create any competition in game, because they would never rank up to hero, because after one, two deaths and loots they will delete and roll new chars and keep killing newbies over and over again. I as player who usualy has 1 char and don't have time/will to roll something and kick their asses. I can just watch and dream about them ranking up to my level, but this never happens.
64681, I rolled a lot of people on my way up as Zaarg
Posted by Zaarg on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
And I was still wearing what I consider to be an average set.

You kept going on like I had OOC friends, when next I am probably one of the top soloist players in game.

tehehehe. I feel giddy.
64679, The irony is...

In the first talk, you tried to justify both the way you played and the way you were caught passing gear from one of your characters to another by saying, among other things:

Kobaine says 'so yes, we have perma grouped to ensure that these little #### bag, gear fitting up pussies die.'

Sorry, we checked into a lot of the people you made those kinds of accusations about, and they were all clean.

Not only do two wrongs not make a right (that is, your cheating to try to 'make right' the cheating of others), but you were cheating, according to you, to get the better of people who weren't even cheating. Either you were completely full of ####, or you managed to be exactly -- and worse, the only instance of -- what you claimed to hate.

Lots of people play the game with their friends. They don't all act like girls who have to go to the bathroom together. If you're longing for that, sorry to say you're not going to get it.

Nice one. That was hatful, funny and sad all at the same time. Nice to see you are not holding a grudge. Its always nice to have fans.
