I am shocked no one has mentioned sinking the ferry with a lightnin bolt wand.

Oh... and greying temples for hair options. Am crazy or didn't that exist?

I remember when Barbarians had absolute MR (unless they were completely overwhelmed), but it didn't interfere with group casts.

I remember when casting from runes never caused backlash. However, there was always the problem of cambrinth with the wrong mana!

<<Well, when I started...
<< - Bards weren't released yet, so no enchantes.

Heh, I still remember creating my first character from the AOL side after DR was opened up to OH accounts (initially we were only able to play from GEnie) and stumbling across Dreamweaver and seeing that she was a barbarian.

Dreamweaver was arguably one of the most prolific/beloved of Gemstone's bards in the early 90's so it was an funny thing to see. The situation was later rectified with the launch of the guild in DR and the coming of Dreamheart. :)

I remember that all new characters popped on Gull's View Lane in the Crossing at the stairs down to the docks. I can't remember when it changed, but it was obviously after the Lorethew Mentor Society was launched ingame.

Another funny thing is that the Mentor's Society was an homage to a time honored player tradition that started in the earliest days of Gemstone, was eventually formalized as an official society with all its support goodies in DragonRealms, and then Gemstone finally followed suit with its own chapter a couple of years later.

When there is only 10 to 20 people logged into the game world that consisted of only a very small area (Gemstone II and early III) compared to the game worlds of today, it was an easy thing to quickly recognize any newcomer logging on and hunt them down to offer assistance. So pretty much everyone got a welcome party and some mentoring when first starting out in the game back then.

When DR was launching, the vast majority of players were GS veterans that carried over this tradition of helping new folks out. I believe this was a major instigator of the eventual formalizing of the tradition in the creation of the official Mentor's Society.

It's neat that this official Mentor's Society arrangement eventually appeared over in GS a couple of years later. Lots of things have been traded back and forth between the games over the years, but I've always found the path the Mentor's Society took in the games kind of interesting.

>Whatever happened to Timothy? I assume he isn't still wandering around anymore?

I don't know what the RP story was, but it got to the point where players would swarm him constantly trying to get stuff from him, so the GMs removed him.

You are correct. He was missing for a very long while.

Back during the lead into the open of p5 the GMs gave his story/event some closure.

Some crazy memories:

1. Sig rings holding an unlimited number of skins/items.

2. The day gravity/weight was introduced.

3. Stacking courage.

4. When ferry jumping was a serious accomplishment.

<< >1. Sig rings holding an unlimited number of skins/items.

Ah, the old signet rings. Not only did they have a huge capacity, but they could be opened and closed.
>>

That was actually a bug that had to do with skins having effectively zero, I believe.

Back when Crocs were bugged and had effective 0 Agility, my original PC and Tykel (I miss this guy) spent about 5 hours in the swamp one day filling up signet rings (This was pre-bundle, even). I think we stopped at around 200 each.

Ah, youth.

I remember when you could fit them in any container by putting a weapon in first, putting the skin in, taking out the long weapon, and then repeating.

Stuffed a backpack full of silverfish antennae in the Crossing sewers.

>I remember when you could fit them in any container by putting a weapon in first, putting the skin in, taking out the long weapon, and then repeating.

Yeah, that's what I meant by packing. It was annoying to have to do that every time.

Me too. I now strive for minimalism.
