Here we go with 'some' nostalgia.

Image

3336 was Darlok, and the big angry red guy was Ashkatuul. :D

Image

The altar room of old Silverbrand (under Troll's Bane's tavern, the Fluffy Sheep. The sheep used to run around and kill idiots, btw ^^) It was also way before "Bye Galim", since Galim was obviously still around.

Image

A big prayer to end the drought, at Falkner's Hain. The trees didn't grow back anymore...

Image

A wedding at the same place, without the drought. I think it was the wedding of Ishan and Andriel, not sure anymore.

Image

Dragon's Tower, it was located somewhere between Greenbriar and the main island, I think... every Bearer's dream to visit it once, I guess. :P

Image

Just some people discussing the drought and leading the town, before it was cool. You could give yourself titles back then that would be portrayed if reintroduced.
Image

And to end this, a fullscreen, which will also show the development (I loved the old lizard graphics, btw) of the client. The screen was taken in the altar room under the Grey Rose castle. Mind the two shields I wear that protected you from being randomly shot by someone you couldn't see, and other stuff. ^^

Geocities is dead, but with the help of Wayback Machine I have uncovered some of the Ultimate Illarion fansite archives for your viewing pleasure. Ill start with screenshots followed by some isolated old-client graphics.

Screenshots were edited for visuals, meaning I cropped out the UI/inventory.

Undead invasion of Troll's Bane
Image

D is for Dead
Image

"The Movement" takes over Northrot from Darlok (temporarily), and apparently had trap items which were banned at the time :wink:
Image

An orc and dwarf creating a northern forest after tree saplings were added
Image

Everyone gathered to end the draught
Image

Building being constructed by the ocean
Image

It wasn't uncommon to have skellies from the southern forest stop in for a drink
Image

The old spider cave, wasn't a good idea to go farther in
Image

"The Line"
Image

Initially discovering whatever this was called ... Drahken's castle?
Image



THE OLD MAGIC SYSTEM
YOU LEARNED BY DOUBLE CLICKING BOOKS, BRO
Image

The old gemcutting graphics
Image

The original herbs
Image

The original inventory, with the creepy naked man
Image


Old Greenbriar map
Image

The old Gobaith map back when the Grey Rose smooched the GM's and got a castle 1/2 the size of the island
Image

The old Northrot/Varshikar
Image

The old Southern Forest, with that damn jail ("2")
Image


Random items .... old decorated metal shield
Image

Metal amulet
Image

Two handed sword
Image

Dwarven axe
Image

Pointy hat
Image

chug ... chug .... chug
Image

The original magic wand
Image

... and some things never change :P

Image
Lots of people in town. I think this was for some Nargún quest.
Image
Brágon's Shrine.
Image
The GM Raft.
Image
I used to take these flame pics whenever I got a new set of spells. A nice demonstration of what the runes were capable of.
Image
This is the cultist place on the south border.
Image
When you could set forest fires. This was before I got TAH :P .
Image
When the Caelum manor was first built.
Image
This was when I changed the graveyard from castle to dungeon.
Image

That's my favourite screenshot of all time.

Here's what happened afterwards (Never shown this bit before :P . Apparently until now I was the only one who found it funny).

Happy anniversary, Fooser. This isn't much, but... here's a screenshot of Gobaith's last public scene. After this the server went offline for the players.

I don't have much to contribute as I started playing with the previous client so I only have two screenshots to share that I'm fond of:

Just found some 2006 oldies in my received files from that era.

Image
Arameh fighting a demon after he looted all the corpses of his friends.
Image
And people fighting the undead in town.
Image
With a lesser demon.
Image
Negros's transformation.
Image
The GMs preparing in the castle.
http://vorpal-games.com/Training.JPG
Trying out our illusion runes.
http://vorpal-games.com/molotovjpeg.JPG
And molotov cocktails.
http://vorpal-games.com/illa13.JPG
A temple ritual.
http://vorpal-games.com/illa14.JPG
And more of that.
http://vorpal-games.com/Caelum%20big%20jpeg.JPG
And the original floor plan for Caelum Manor ;) .

The end of Gobaith:

http://vorpal-games.com/aerisnoob.jpg
Fun with !suffix.
http://vorpal-games.com/elizawares.jpg
Oh, also, a couple I forgot before. Using JUS ANTH FHEN QWAN to move a sheep corpse from Netheria's altar to Eliza's.
http://vorpal-games.com/yellowcross.jpg
When we discovered NPCs had no magic res and you could PK the yellow cross (And push it to weird locations). We always pushed them back though :P . Once I took Borgate to Caelum, put him in the tavern, and then all the way back again. It just annoys me that I didn't take a screenshot of that, considering it must've taken a few hours.
http://vorpal-games.com/skills%20fell%2 ... bottom.JPG
When I notoriously swapped language books with people over and over again in a quest to be able to speak every language. Language books and extra languages were removed from the game shortly after this :P . My bad guys ;) .

I got frustrated during a spar once.

Once I logged in to find my skills list had a few new additions somehow.

Image


That's all really. And flux, how dare you post that one about my char dropping his weed, I was insulted forever.

I didt even know Tyan was an old player. I carried my main over , so maybe he knew me. Still, I enjoyed getting to know that Tyan character in the new format.
My point is, look at how much fun we used to have, and yet, I had that fun with him in the new VBU. We CAN do it.

Just log in, please, and try.

Most of my screenshots are on a disc that won't read, so here is all I have from some years ago:

Image
A dead Northerot just before becoming Varshikar.

Image
Standing all alone on my honeymoon island.

Image
Making out somewhere away from civilization, because pre-marital things should be done in secret, yo.

Image
My beloved. I miss you so much.

Image
The Fluffy Sheep Gone Wild. Lulz.

Image
The new bartender. I named him Scott.

Image
Yay for getting married!

Image
Decorating the orc cave with flowers. We obviously didn't value our lives.

Is it strange that when I see a lot of these screenshots, I'm searching around for the 'like' button ?
What has Facebook done to me ? ;)

Especially enjoy a lot of Dyluck's shots, like the old forum. Illarion has come a long ways since the beginning stages of development.
If my old laptop didn't crash, I'd have some to contribute.
