One of those moments that ruined every other MMO for me

Does this belong in southern Thestra?

That's crazy. Got any more?

Lost some over the years during reinstalls & PC replacements, but yeah, I still have a few hundred from the early days.

I would love to see them and I'm sure others would as well. Upload anything we haven't seen before!

So many memories! nice

Somewhere I have a picture of the krakken we fought near Shrine of the Flame. Can't tell much, though - even scrolled completely out, it was just a big eye - took up the whole screen.

Here's a picture of GM Fezzeeus showing off a flying mount outside of Leth (I think - Leth looked a lot different back then). They were broadcasting places you could go to see the mounts. My main (Deltharien) was deep in Dargun's Tomb, and it literally took hours of riding to get anywhere back then, so I logged on to my alt paladin (Delthanis).

And here is where Deltharien was stuck:

Here is where we fought the krakken. I was exploring below NT. Well NT didn't exist yet, but you can see the spires with the swinging bridges.

I spun around and saw a huge crab. In the distance you can see the collapsed bridge where the Magicbourne Abomination dropped his marble.

I kept spinning and...?? WTF is that?? You can see the krakken (kinda looks like a messed up horseshoe crab). Called the troops and we killed.

I'm sorry, but I can't find a better picture of the krakken. At least not one that you can tell anything from. I was having screen smear issues at the time from experimenting with SLI. Here's a good example of a screen smear starting:

And the smears only got worse. Flushing didn't help:

Oh God the Mouse placeholder!! I totally remember those, least they had fun with it
Great screenies btw, interesting to see where it all ended up

[Ily]

Heh the UI looks about as clunky as the one that they launched with ...
Nice share, good to see where they started from!

Never played beta myself, but damn they came a long way in interface time from then and when I started playing. Muchas gracias for the sharing, haven't seen much of beta in general.
