Downtime / Reset Chat

Post by CookieMonster » Mon Oct 16, 2017 10:39 pm

I have recently reinstalled NWN onto my PC. I haven't made a .bak file yet to skip the need to startup and search for the server so it has been a while since I saw the old 'Search' 'Chat' 'History' 'Favourates'

Do any of your guys remember what it was like back in the day when the servers were reset?

Suddenly hundreds of names would appear in the Roleplay chat area and all hell would break loose... Those were the days.

Oh yeah. A lot of stuff went on there.

I remember when nwn first came out, I'd play a paladin through the main campaign, thinking to myself "Oh, my god, you can actually turn the camera, and the sounds when the swords hit - it looks so real!"

A different era.
That which doesn't kill you, simply makes you... stranger.

Now we have discord, which is better in all ways.

I still don't suggest talking about secret IC groups on a discord chat anyways. It still can and will end up metagamed by others.

THIS made me laugh. I remember having no clue what that was for a long time.
I remember people making alt accounts to come into chat with the same name as someone else, or how ever they did it.

I think this was done in the period of time between Bioware servers going down, but Gamespy still being up.
Bioware servers being down meant you could use any username, but Gamespy was in charge of the server list/chat.

That was a while ago now though.. I miss Gamespy, so many games I play died when they went away.

This still happens on Discord. :D But I remember it well. Someone once convinced me and my ex to go hook up during a crash. The logic was the minute we went afk to do the deed the server would come back up. We considered it a public service.

Really, it was. Especially as a kid, everything was just awesome.

I remember getting my gamecube for Christmas and firing up Rogue Squadron for the first time. I literally said that I couldn't tell the difference between those graphics and real life. Or the first time I played Ocarina of Time when I was 9 years old. It blew my mind.

That is potentially because Gamecube graphics were the best graphics of any platform of their era.. Even by todays standards they are fantastic... A massively underrated system :P
