Lets see? the time of modern days before the fall of the iron curtain.
I started way back in about.. 2001 till about 2002-pre early 03.
Was a fencer way back then, had tailoring, hiding all set up to about 80-90ish skill where at that time it didnt really matter much. Lets say this was around the time of the summer of Picard. Im sure some might know of captain picard and his co-horts of twinks and rabbletri.
Now that i think about it, it was about 1-2 weeks right before they allowed murderers into town, When i began playing siege again.
When i started out, had not at all any friends on this shard. Couldnt go anywhere, literally without some orc encampment waiting for you out in t2a. OR UND stalking the grounds of yew forest. And factions? The wars existed everywhere.
I remember one time i went to shame, and was fighting some earth elementals inside, when i left it was some huge COM VS BRIT war outside. Died instantly upon leaving the dungeon. that was some of the many epic battles to occur.
Then another week passed by, collected some stuff from looting orcs over by yew, and met this one nice lady who owned a small house about 2 screens away from CWS town. She friended me to her house, with this now capable for me. As the bank box was completely full from just looting armor and gear. I had a new storage house to use.
Pking was rampart from there on then, Heck one day. I logged out in this house, and the owner never really gave me a key. So im hiding in the small house, i think at the time making bandages. Some anti crawles up to house. Opens the door, and kills me inside.
Cause back then, if a murderer was in the house, you couldnt ban, nor could you remove them from the house. And i was unarmed. i think his name was sherlock. or just some other detective/tracker anti out in yew.
died, got ressed and got some bandages along with a force spear that i looted from und. I think, i usually striked blues down when powerhour was about to start. Another lucrative exploitive system that was on siege. Server lines anyone? minoc bucs and im sure there is another one.
Some memories are beginning to come back to me again, siege was one thing. An experience and nothing else you can share from it. Never again can you play another game and feel this. So empty with the new changes now.
I remember my first boat on siege perilous, i killed these 2 people out in trinsic just bandaging and attacking each other. it was along the coastline by trinsic. One guy was carrying about 2k bandages, the other guy had 500 or more and a boat key. Since there isnt no recall on siege, i asked a gm if he could relocate me this boat.
He eventually ports me onto the boat, and low and behold. There's a macro'r on the boat too! just casting spells over and over. Had to re-page a gm to move the ghost off the boat, then eventually dry docked the boat in moonglow. Another scary places to be as a lonely pk with a new boat.
Its all you really needed back then, bandages some potions, and a storage house.
And the days of the federation and my short time spent with picard was a place of imagination never sought forth again.
Battlevortex was siege perilous's only forum at the time that included the most notorious players to ever play siege.
I'll try my best to name off the co-horts of evil and tide.

-------------------
The very first day of aos, remember being para ganked by this tamer guild. Literally 5 tamers just para para para para till you died by pets.
Factions? yea 5 warhorses was more deadlier then the BOMBER MAGES.
Exploding potions not only was good for mages, but sick for fencers too.
KRIMP EEM!
Dont know where i am going with this, but anyone remember what was that guy on bv who [censored] talked everyone? Uoplayer? or something like that. Darth being banned from babblevortex.
