Old School Players
Old School Players
How many old school players are still around? im talking about poeple that remember DA, CS, Eye, etc. back when necros could go into WD (this was changed right after i started) back when there were no zones in between the run from ghore to faang. when BS eq kicked ass. when you had to be lvl 20 to have a chance at getting out of ghore=P when GH was aggro to all races.
heh, remember everything glaman mentioned but i started either a little before or after the wipe, that phase is kinda hazy, but i do seem to recall losing a character and not knowing enough about mudding to realize it was probably cause it wiped;)
so i don't remember mailed fist and all those guilds:( *sigh* course..i was like 12 at the time;)

I remember the good ole days.. Doin Myranthea with Mailed Fist... Getting Xygom well for the first time, etc... I also remember wandering around with Draaz and the crew(kor, etc) just getting exp and stuff.
Course, that was back when I played the uber-crossdresser, Tatayana.. Before I switched to Mal and became universally despised.

Seventh Star was in the first wave of guilds as I recall. That was before any of the charter rules and such.
Most of the guilds were God-sponsored. I thought Mystra sponsored the Seventh Star and then gods like Oghma, Deneir, and Tyr followed suit with other guilds.
Policy was changed because guilds started to boom and there was too many issues with favoritism.
Least that is how I recall it, but hell that was 6 years ago, so what the hell do I know :P
What other guilds were around in the early days?
I remember Seventh Star, Mailed Fist, and Wizards of Thay all around the same time.
Alliance of Balance, Knights of Light, and all that stuff came well afterwards so those don't count. Anyone recall?

I wanna say Harpers? Or some version thereof? Can't recall for sure, but its on the tip of my tongue...Anyhoo, yeah all the guilds were god sponsored. I got a pretty sweet mask for starting Seventh Star. Deneir's original mortal, whose name escapes me *whap*, took it over after I disappeared. Good thing too, I was a terrible guild leader:P

Yes and no :P I sponsored Seventh Star, then Labelas -- either after or at the same time, can't remember -- sponsored House Crimsonesti. I don't remember the other guilds cause 3/4 of the MUD were in Crimson and Star :P In fact, before we shut that down, we were going to add chapter houses on EM and several other places. We had TOO many members :P

Grrr. On the MUD machine, if I still have a directory, lies email from that era. Some from Tempus *waves at Steve* and lots from Dracor (Deneir) and talks about all the other guilds and stuff. I think there were only 4 or so, that far back and Mailed Fist wasn't one of them. I'll see if Miax still has my dir on there tonight.

Ah, I see Shad has all the info
Ah, Yah, Soul Forgers -- they were Moradin's (Grimtooth) gang and the Zhents -- dang it was that the original Cyric? Sounds like it.
My gosh that was a looooooooooong time ago.
We didn't even have a web site then. Oh! Who remembers what the original web site looked like? What was the header? Not you, Shad! Shush!

Yeah, all this stuff brings back some good memories...*sniff*...hehe...
As for guilds, there was also Underground Seas, sponsored by Valkur. I was part of that guild with my monk way back then, and I remember thinking how spanky my lil' abalone earring (our guild item) was.
Wasn't one of the mortal heads of Seventh Star some mage named Dracor? I think I remember him always chatting with Mystra on OOC in an RP sort of way...you know, like "Good eve, m'lady" and that sort of stuff...hehe.
I think there was also a guild called Clan Kimagure or something like that, with peeps like Tenchi Muyo & Pluto runnin' their show.
They came in right before the first wipe, so I don't think they were around long...
Come on guys, keep those old skool memories comin'!

I remember trolls being allowed in WD, I remember grouping with Serro, Wharrok, Thrakazog, Drakkoth, Grimulk, Anga, Wug, Zira, Urz as my troll. I remember Jerthal, Xyzom and quite a lot else of the existance of LoC, Thay. I was in Dark Alliance and thoroughly enjoyed having the huge troll guildguard toss me onto our landlocked ship. I remember CS, Eye and grouping with great warriors of old such as Garosh, Gorsh, Kurz, and Draaz. Other than that I'm sorta blury :P

Thanks, hehe. I knew I had my facts messed up a little. That sure was a long time ago.
I just remember the first guild I remember seeing was the Seventh Star and they had funky blue titles and the guild hall entrance and such got me interested in guilds for the first time.
Soul Forger & House Crimsonetti. Damn, you have a good memory.
YAR!

Just remembered another guild...wasn't the Drow House Akh Elamshin part of all those earlier ones? I remember Elena and Nyx (Liran) in that...
Hmm, I remember a dorf conjie Banyal that was one of the leaders of Clan Forgefire. Don't remember much else about them, except that their charter was later found out to be kinda copied from an AD&D dwarved clan or something...hehe. :P

My earliest memories of Sojourn. . .
-Names like Bonecrusher, Vanity, and Pookah.
-Or how about Parkas, Wugoku, and Brunthar.
-Warriors holding two radiant opals.
-Dual wielding an Emerald Longsword and a Crimson Sword of Armonder
-Killing sentries and palace guards in Mithril Halls (then located near BloodStone)
-Belt of Daggers rocked!
-Getting squashed by Rocks and Harpies!
-Elite goblins that each had 1p on them
Yada yada yada

Heh you guys are thinking after the wipe was the beginning of Sojourn...
We were talking about when Seventh Star existed ect...Sisterhood was not an old guild, ect.
I am talking about Serro Jerro, Vanity, ect spanking imix allthe time, 50 flaming earrings in the portable hole. Bjorte tanking silly mobs and keep getting ressed and repeat.
How many of you remeber Bjorte? He was a cool guy.
I remeber doing the quest with Drcor to obtain his shimmering white staff from the astral plane.... FUN FUN...
I remeber Valkur kidnapping Galas and making her a duegar and having Dracor having to save her.
Those were the days of old....

I remember Bjorte well. I think I cast my first stoneskin on him. Was wondering if anyone else would remember him.
One more memory to throw into the mix. Anyone remember the week of leveling dangerously. There was some group of players that went from 30-50 in a week following a necro doing bloodstone guilds.
Thats how they leveled. Why was it dangerous? Well they got deleted by the gods almost the second they got to 50 for not turning in the exploit. Can't remember the names now as usual.

I was a leader of Clan ForgeFire and it wasn't copied out of any D&D books. We kept our titles for all of week before the new association rules went in and killed us. I still have that charter around here somewhere. It was huge. It involved Banyal, Me, Dohrum, PL??? something or other, and a few others. Someone else tried to revive the guild and I remember emailing them the charter but I can't remember who it was. It was during Sojourn2 era which I played for abouta week only. We were never big but we tried. =)
I believe the biggest confusion of this thread is what is old and what is ancient =P
To the best of my ability I will work back.
Soj3 - Future
pwipe
Soj2 - Yesterday *smirk* (Dunno didn't play much)
pwipe
Toril - Not so long ago (Angras Etherea, uhmmmmmmmmm, peeps like Trogar, etc..)
split with duris (no pwipe)
Sojourn1 - Old (Legion of Chaos, Eye, Crimson Sigil. Peeps like Jerthal, Lothair, Xuan Kong, Benshar, etc..)
pwipe
Pre-Sojourn1 - Ancient (mages worked on a mana system at this time, Rand, Serro, Vanity, the names you see Ilsha posting during this time)
Elscint Hairytoes (The Halfling Sorcerer)
Luke
P.S. The honest to goodness truth is I started just at the end of pre-sojourn1 made like level 5 and then it wiped and I started over. I'm honestly not sure what the mud was called I think they did call it Sojourn but I'm not entirely sure, obviously Kris would be the authority on this subject since he's the one that was actually there from start to finish =P

Hey Deward...=)
Didn't mean to sound like I was bashin' your Clan or anything, it was just something that I'm pretty sure I remember hearing...either posted on the old Soj website or on OOC. It well might've been the folks who were trying to revive Forgefire, but I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure Mystra/Roan would know more about it.
Toodles!

I was a level 15 drow warrior (or assassin maybe) named Rindal in the Zhentarim (I believe the tag was "Zhentilar" for the non-human members) in the ancient, pre-Sojourn1 days (yes it was called Sojourn. I remember this because I had just read the Dark Elf Trilogy, Homeland/Exile/Sojourn).
I dual wielded glowing scimitars of course (Drizzt wannabee).
We had a ton of fun with a spotter by the Great Fountain who would gsay when people left the safety zone. We'd summon them to the room under the armory in the bazaar with the door closed and wack them.
I think we pwiped after that day.

Hrmm... this all reminds me of when the mudconnector random mud took me to Sojourn, my first ever mud. I remember trying to raise a sorc named Krabat (impossible that anyone remembers, he wasnt worth it). Wasted all of my european evenings on a crappy europe-us internet link with an average 400ms delay. That dont work for casters.
Decided to go Kryga (some small zerker, later warrior) and sticked to it till 50.
Indeed, those were some days. Trolls sitting 1w... Killing Lord P and Khelben... hrmm... guess I look forward to SJIII!!

After reading this thread, all I have to say is: Ilsha', you're ANCIENT. I vaguely remember some of the names you're throwing around (it has nothing to do with MUI during that time). Anyone have a timeline of when each version of Sojourn came about? I think I started towards the end of pre-Soj but can't quite recall.
