The Nostalgia Thread

[deathbarrier99]

I don't know if there's another one like this, too lazy to look beyond the 3rd page.

Ok gentlemen and gentleladies, this shout out goes out to all of the "oldbies" out there. I want you to think back to your and the server's most infamous/famous moments and tell them to the nice people here. Think hard people, let's get some memories flowing!

Nostalgia Format:

1)When you starting playing Graal:
1a)When you starting playing Era (if different):
2)The first name you went under when you first played Era:

5)The best thing to happen on you to Era:
6)The worst thing to happen on you to Era:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

1)When you starting playing Graal: I started playing somewhere around the end of '03, beginning of '04
2)The first name you went under when you first played Era: Tony Montello
3)The first gang you ever joined: Probably BB (same as everyone else most likely :P)
4)The first business you ever joined: I was hired as a Mall Server by Geo back in the day. I ended up owning it ;D
5) The best thing to happen on you to Era: Probably when I got hired to GP. I felt superior to all the little noobs running around the Era streets >:]
6)The worst thing to happen on you to Era: Probably the times I've been banned
7)Your most memorable moment on Era: Mange and Sean set up a staff block throne at unstick me. The only way to escape was by GFX editing (illegal, I know) out of the blocks. It was INSANE. They were both fired and globalled XD
Misc. (other past crap you want to tell us about):

-When Jenn owned Era, before the reset she set up an NPC at unstick me that gave the player who grabbed it every rare weapon on the server with unlimited ammo.
-A while ago, businesses were able to PK on tag, this meant HUGE PK wars between DD, GRC, and Rising Sun. These were so much fun
-DD's bathroom was a PK zone. That meant PKing in a 1x1 pixel size room.
-Morano Family was probably the best gang (skill, content wise) before it fell into Will's hands.
-Carden (Don of MF) and I made a huge P4 bomb one of the Era Hotel floors
-When The Guy and rest of the PPA council had tryouts, it consisted of getting people to come to their tryout building, asking them the simplest question, then kicking them and calling them noobs.
-14 hour TWEE
-So much more..

GOGOGO! Your turn!

Try not to tear up thinking about the good ol' times.

Do not fail me Eranians! I want to relive the past!
