Ah, I remember the thieves. I never battled them as I always seemed to meet them when I was logged in as a low level character.
Jason Voorhees - surely this was/would be a Friday 13th npc? I remember killing him and stupidly deciding to rest up and heal beside his ‘corpse’. Hmm - there is a Friday 13th in February (hint hint!). Shame that armour guilds can’t make the hockey masks anymore....
Crunch - I will never forget, or forgive, the indignity of having my ass handed to me by an npc wielding my severed arm.
Sphinx - I loved that event! The riddles, for me, were great fun. Events don’t have to be about huge fights or badass npcs - riddles, treasue hunts etc. are excellent. The fight was crazy too, if I remember correctly. But then someone went and acted a dick about the reward....
Earon - I remember him too. I was running about trying to quest or something, and he kept stealing things from me. I got a bit irate at him, for which I apologise.
Kirsh - I remember the name, but don’t think I ever fought him.
Shadow Death - *sigh*. Too bad I had to learn the hard way that he followed you out of Candera.
Damn it! All these memories make me wish I had more time to log on and play. I like the idea of scheduled events though - if it was announced that on a certain weekend/day that a big event was to occur, I would book time off work, send the missus out for the night and log on for some MD fun.
On a similar note though, Belly...when old Anshelm was attacked by the dragon, I remember fighting it for a time. Do you happen to have old logs at all of that event? I wouldn’t mind seeing if it was Igor or Conall who fought. I also have a vague memory (all my memories are hazy in my old age) of there being statues or something of people who fought the dragon?
