Oh~! Hahaha then that's awesome, I hope the struggle was worth it lol
Darkfall introduced me to meaningful open world conflict and politics which has become my favorite aspect of these games.
Swtor was really fun for me because i ended up playing it with a lot of my RL friends.
That sounds super cool~! I'd love one day to play ashes with irl friends lol. I hope Ashes will have meaningful open world conflict (Which from what I've seen it does) and that it will compare to your other MMORPGs!
Reminds me of when I fucked over an entire huge minecraft guild by myself xD not excatly an mmo though
Oh god ARK. I played that for a while and found like TONS of chinese huge clans hacking haha
Ultima Online | Great Lakes Server | The Thief
To give you some context here.. in UO you could steal and I had a character that was a Grand master in Stealing, Wrestling, Hiding etc. Well one day I'm running around town and I sidle on up to a person and start stealing multiple pouches from this guy. He realizes it and I take off... he doesn't pursue at first.. The way flagging worked was that as a thief, you would "go grey" if you stole. Meaning you could be attacked by anyone. So me running off, my AIM was to hide and wait off my timer before going back to the bank to unhaul my goods. The timer wears off and as I'm walking towards the bank... the guy shouts "There he is!" with 2 of his other friends.
Now just a reminder, I'm in town and if you attack in town.. if a guard is in shouting distance it is an instant death. So I had my macro ready to call the guards when all 3 of them chucked exploding potions at me.. it took off like 80% of my health but i instantly shout "Guards" and all 3 get massacred . I'm laughing to myself as now I have 3 more corpses to loot. I start looting them all, finish. I start going through my loot when I realized that in my initial stealing I had Stolen a Deed to a Keep that was tucked away in a pouch . Suddenly it made sense why the guys essentially tried to "suicide" kill me, to get the keep deed back that I had no clue I had.
Now I start getting real nervous and I realize that I need to make it back to the bank unhindered as I'm sitting on what is essentially a fortune in deed form. The 3 guys by this point I see come charging at me to repeat the strategy (i'm still only at like 50% health) and I start BOOKING IT. These guys chased me for 10 minutes.. I had to leave town and they are STILL on me to kill me. I have no free moment as If I stopped they would have chucked their potions again.
I realize that if this keeps up they are going to catch me as they started doing things like splitting up and trying to cut me off. So as I'm passing a bush, I quickly chuck it in (the way LOS worked in UO was you couldn't see behind a tree fully until you walked up to it) and I made a hard right and kept running down. They kept following me and eventually killed me about 2 minutes later. I quickly logged out, logged back in another character and ran to the same tree and picked up the deed!
One of the most exhilarating experiences in my gaming career.
Those are some AWESOME stories~! I feel like that would wind up being me in Ashes, naked and dumb. It'll be my first MMO~! So I hope i can make memories like you did!
It's awesome how people have so many stories to tell with MMORPG games...! It makes me hope and wish even more that Ashes will be an amazing first experience, and that it will last for years to come~! I love the idea of a game lasting for such a long time, like WoW. That just seems so cool...! A community being around for so long, having fun and making stories like your own. Thank you for sharing~! It's getting me even more excited for my first MMO experience c:
I hope Ashes will be able to bring back some of that amazement for you, I'm sure it isn't all gone~! I haven't seen anything as ambitious as ashes in a long time. I hadn't even THOUGHT of playing an MMORPG until ashes came along, I'd barely heard of them besides WoW. I think ashes should be able to breathe life until the industry of MMOs. (Hopefully)
It's the people you meet in game and places like these forums that make MMOs. For good or bad the community makes the game. From the people I've interacted with here on these forums I can tell this is going to be one of the good ones. Hopefully, once the game launches, you'll start building your own set of memories like the ones we're all relating.

Mhm that'll be great~ Being able to tell stories like you and the other~! Making long term friends and such~! Ashes should be amazing, and I can't wait for it to be my first MMORPG. Hopefully it'll breathe life into the genre and give the huge monopoly a run for its money. Yeah I've never used a Forum before but everyone on here is very nice and wonderful to talk with ! like you
That sounds so cool~! Hahaha you even eventually got it in the end!
MMORPG games are so unique in the memories you can make~! Few games can give you that kind of experience, while making it last! I can't wait to try to make memories of my own like that!
I hope Ashes is amazing for you, and that you can have TONS of fun in it along with everyone else!
Thank you for sharing! It's awesome to hear stuff like that, stories of a thief and such. I hope Ashes can offer something like that down the line c: Well maybe it already does actually... with the loot dropping on death and stuff... so you could have your fun with that~! n.n
Hey! Well I'm glad you enjoy that type of stuff!
Calculating attacks and having them go perfectly could be cool! I just don't think it's for me~!
I've seen eve online I think, I'm not really into Sci-fi too much, but I did get star citizen
I haven't really played it because there's basically nothing to do but delivery quests and meaningless stuff like that. Otherwise you can dogfight and that's about it (At least from what I saw)
Banks were hotspots with more than 100 people there at all times, selling and buying the most random things. It was like a glorious basar, where you could make a fortune only through trading^^
I spent so many hours there, it was amazing
Black desert: 2v4 and won
CS 1.5: getting into cal-i
EvE online: being a part of Pandemic Legion
WoW: hitting glad for the first time(I screamed like a girl)
GW2: Being in a zergbuster guild(Legends never die)
Awesome to hear from you! I hope Ashes will compare! n.n You seem to really like outplaying people and I hope there will be potential for that with action combat! Like aiming a super well timed headshot ability on someone would do a lot more damage then someone just pressing down their 2 key while locked onto you! ^-^
Jeez...! 100 people?!?! I couldn't even imagine..! I hope ashes will be able to have that many people together without lagging~!!
that would be so much fun~! 40 man bosses too... I can't wait~!!!!
I have a number of memorable tales.
However I think my first epic moment in MMOs is back in DAOC. I played an Armsman, a typical sword and board with plate armor. Was with a friend of mine who played a friar. We ended up caught in the Salisbury Plains by a Pseudo-dragon, the thing was conning a bit higher than us and it looked like we were dead. I told her to just run and leave me, while I tanked the thing, she refused and kept healing me and hitting the ostrich thing, even purposely pulling aggro from me despite taking way more damage per punch. We killed it with little more then a literal sliver of health left between us, if I tripped and fell I would've died.
Awesome~! That's an amazing story to be able to tell~ you like more simpler style classes and stuff~? or you just happened to be playing that~? either way that's so awesome that you just BARELY escaped haha~! I hope you got some cool stuff from it c:
I ALSO hope that Ashes will be able to bring the same kind of feelings back~! ^-^
Virtue is the only good.
Ayyyy~! I hope you can do just the same in Ashes~! n.n wreck some peeps!
Awwww that's awesome~!!! Such an amazing clutch~!!!!
I hope things like that will be possible in ashes~!!!! It'll be so much fun c:
Crown- MMORPG Survivor since 1996
