was a long time ago, but i remember a zerg of 160 proud hibs (with hardly a dozen of lvl 50sh) charging the evul dragon with high spirit get wiped in roughly ~9seconds :D


I still have the screenshots from that first dragon raid, raid leader screaming at everyone to take their cloaks off to reduce the lag and no proccing weapons, everyone was running about trying to buy merchant weapons!

Place looked like a cemetery afterwards, think we took 2% off it's health :(

I was level 38 armsman and one of highest there, and fuckign shadowblades kept killing all the casters without showing themselves and i was like woah, then a ranger killed 2fg and so whole zerg ran up to try find him. but couldnt ofc. then we ran to crim, and was a mentalist and eld who farmed our entire zerg by casting aoe's thru the walls and nobody got heals lol.

As any old-skool ranger will tell you, the only mobs that gave Hibernian archers a nightmare were Irewoods!

Saplings to Greenbarks to Grovewoods, these things were the staple diet for the solo ranger, before the dark times, before the buffbots!

Irewoods in Mt Colloroy saw a few wonderful skirmishes with enemy players like Bee and random thanes/theurgs amongst others.

Saplings on the ridge from Connla to Treibh was a popular spot, as were the Greenbarks in Cullen and near Ailinne.

Ahh memories, horrid, horrid memories :(

ohhh yer =) I shot thousands of arrows into these trees =)

beware of evil Grovewoods though. All the trees till then were totally easy, then suddenly chain ae rooting and DoT'ing mob, they did hurt me when I attacked them the first time ( and the last time tbh =)) )

When crafters were respected for their time spent making you uber gear and a grp would fight for the drops!

Going into EZ for the first time and finding the Azures AND getting backout.. Damn! we thought we were good!
In RvR on my druid and having the top rez and being one of only a few who specced high enough and standing in MMG for 13 secs while u pulled a caster up with 100% mana & health. Group purge!!! <sigh>

Dinging 50 on hulks in DF and trying to solo on the mobs that dinged you.

Its nice to see MM filled with DM's from all us lowbies again :clap:

bet the ranger was hotnogg :p (spelling was different tho 8( )

Not to mention they CFH'ed as well. Always nice to see the whole forrest uproot itself and chase some hapless ranger or eld/menta to Cain.

I bet the ranger was either Hothnogg or Balnor ( off chance it was Grey).

greatest moment was dinging 50 for the 1st time at fins (tank group) after 20ish hours as main puller, jesus i used a lot of arrows, whenever someone was coming to the join the group it was "bring arrows" fantastic times, kind of makes me sad how the game has turned out :(

well well....those were the days:)
When i started daoc my pc werent that great. So i could never go in dungeosn and the like. So instead of going muir or some other place, i always had to find different spots to level. One of the favourite spots was siabs down the sloop from muir. And also spent alot of time around parths and down to badgers and rocks doing groups:)
Many nice memories from there......

Oh man that brings back memories!

We had the same thing the next day raiding the Mid Giant, i THINK it was lead by Asmodian, the old Hibbie and CBH realm raid leader :)

Raven: Weren't the old fins 8-man tank groups the best! So much fun :)

I used to have trasured screenies of then lowbies from various groups such as Karlophin, Timpany, Lessurl, Moriaana, Spooks, Snaekeeyes, Pocahontas (I know how to root pull, i really do! ;)) and a few others (mainly from Draconis Allumnai).

Also remember the CF guild and alliance leader Grey trying to ding 50 at the Irewoods in Cullen and the CM pit-crew of Lothlorion, Grace, Phillip, Panda, Completeandutter...oh and a certain druid who couldnt tell between single root and aoe root, now what was her name....? ;)

the best way to bring back nostalgia is to turn music back on (if you have had it off for the past few years) and then take a horse from dl to connla and listen to the music as you pass through mag mell and mbeo, almost brings a tear to the eye !
