lol Clav. My first several years of AC included no macroing I only started macroing after I was a true AC veteran, and I clocked more time playing chars and supplying macros than most people realize. When you run 4+ chars nearly 24/7 for a couple years you have to spend a lot of time getting them supplied etc. Though in retrospect, the main reason I "macroed" was the social aspect of the game (especially after I hit maxed out chars). My friends macroed, and I spent time in IRC/etc talking to them.


With that said, you need not fear my former heathen ways I don't have the time or the inclination to macro. In fact I have not even installed decal yet. Granted the decal part is largely because I have spent the few hours of ingame time I have logged roaming around AC and not doing anything specific. And yes I did get the wink, but you know me, I have always been a sucker for macro talk!


I do remember you Poison Frog. I stopped playing at the end of 2004 (around when WoW came out), so I definitely knew you (original one).

We are all still here. even Vo shows up once in a while.

Nice to see some old faces I recall.


I played from beta up until 2005. Started on HG with the Chosen guild from day one launch, then moved to WE when guild got too political, then moved to WoW after Ms Onyx and Mr Blue's guild fell apart. Tinkering with the idea of coming back to look around, but not much luck in finding old account information.


Not big on PK or macroing, so my mains were only about 70 or so, Abbott, Ni'Koji and BelKoji were more known for holding clan community events and helping lower levels. I ran a bunch of contests like "Find Me" on the WE board before I left to give away all my pack dolls, gear, pyreals(?), cottage, etc.


Even the old computer I played on is long gone. Any tips on recovering info? I'd hate to start over at 1, especially with most folks probably in the 200+ range...


** LOL, lost my 10,000 posts since I dropped my IGN premium too!

You have to "move" your IGN account to get it back. I am not too clear on the process, but honestly, it took more effort to get back my IGN account than to figure out my AC accounts password. The AC website has a "forgot" password option. You input the email address and it sends you password reset information. Unfortunately, it won't tell you if the email address is not on your database. I typed in a bunch of email addresses and recovered my main account. Good luck with it.


AC is very much the same if you ignore some of the new quests/etc. The game has the same feel, but there seems to be a lot of new content. I am not the best person to ask as I have done none of the new content. JUst burning some time killing stuff at places I have been before. I am only back for a month so I am not bothering to do the new stuff.

Thanks. I'll try that.


Remembering the fun times at the BSD with my little mage, feast or famine. With others around scrambling to get kills but when empty got overwhelmed and died a lot. Was it level 50 restricted or level 30?


And the fun times, the very first week of AC1 launch (was it '95?) when the guild officers leveled up quickly and made a long and dangerous run to the horrifying Matekar Cave to get hides from the Great Matekars for that "uber" coat even mages could wear! LOL. Lonnnnnnnng time back.


And burning up precious tapers trying every conceivable combination to learn spells. Seemed a shame when the code was broken and widely distributed.


Are the exp chains still used? That was great for leveling up a fighter and at the same time leveling up a different person for trade skills. Of course the widespread use of macros runined most of it.

STFU or Go Red!

I thought BSD was like level 20 or something req. People went there early with level 7 buffs back in the day (granted I am talking a few years after the game first came out). Not really sure exactly when the game came out, but it was in the 95-96 period I think.


The taper thing changed well before I left (only one kind of taper) and spells are not learnt via trial and error (or split pea). These changes occured in the early 2000s (not sure exactly when).


Exp chains were changed around 2003 or so (a year or so before I quit). You get more xp from vassals, but the xp received from people under your vassals was nerfed.


All this info could be 5 years or more outdated.

Paid Turbine to find my account (one of them anyway). Resubbed. Got lost. Died after not knowing how to fight. Logged.

Bueller ? ummm hellooooo ? n/m I guess


Hola Logan, I still log Sionnach now and then although he spent his first few weeks standing in the corner of the MP
