You obviously were not around at the time of the battle.

It was far higher.

Aaahh, yes... I remember constant crashing/logging to keep skill gain before it crashed. Good times.

The question is, were all these people in the same spot?

Memories. Whee ! There was a shop, there was eliza, there was a cross, there was a (cobblestone/street)-bridge and there was a cave. There were no depots, there were no tools, and you could carry almost infinite amounts of stuff.
And meeting three other people at the same time was awesome.
Later, when the building walls started to look like white stone and were placeable on the running server as items, Bror built the first fluffy sheep tavern where Aries and me kept a sheep - fluffy - trapped with boxes (items didn't rot yet) and constantly trained that sheep's fighting skills so we could use it as a bouncer for agressive n00bs.
That was fun indeed !

How did you train its fighting skills? XD

Or do you mean purely in roleplay?

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Mon Sep 28, 2009 6:34 pm

No. Even today, you can train a monster's skills by fighting and healing it. Try it.
And back then, learning was MUCH faster, and skills had a much higher impact on everything than attribuites had. Was a part of the philosophy back then : No classes, you can learn everything you like.

And fluffy with his sheep attributes did manage to hurt full-skilled warriors. Newbies were absolute one-chomp-fodder for all the fluffys we trained (after every server restart or when some archer or mage killed the sheep while we both (and later others) were absent, we needed a few hours to get a new one there and bring it to the old skills).
Of course we only poked him with daggers to train his defensive skills without killing him.
Fists were the deadliest weapon against players back then, and guess what the sheep used XD

Ah that's where I was having trouble; I saw how you could train parry and such, but not its attack
