Just wondered which player has been longest on Layonara
Other than The Big L and DMs
:o)
-
I'd reckon it was Quintayne Rosewyne, who still pops on from time to time.
-
Does PoD still play, cause I think he and Quint signed at the same time?
-
Haven't seen PoD around in a long time. I miss following him around as a DM just to watch his RP. Some of the best Lawful Evil RP I've seen to date bar none.
-
I am pretty sure that Quintayne is the oldest character and player. And PoD hasn't been sighted in a long long time.
-
Quentayne is if he still stops by, second to Quentayne i think is me, followed by ozy and Ghost by less then a week
-
PoD was banned from Layonara due to exploiting, i saw it somewhere...
-
PoD was not banned, just wanted to make that clear. He just left.
-
Well if you count my "deathtime" into all this, I guess im pretty old aswell, came on the same time as Enzo, Plen, Rev, Brac. Must be about 2½ years back.
-
Prince of Darkness (PoD in this threat) is not the same as the log-in name PoB who was banned.
-
@Harlas, yep you are correct. It was PoB (not D) that was banned. Thank you.

I think that must have been longer than that, since I joined *counts* 2 years and 5 months ago. And back then Rev and Gotak were already up and running for a while.
I even remember how my first character tagged along with Enzo, since it was the first ranger he met :)
Other old geezers are ZV, LFFF, Rhizome *thinks* I know I forgot quite a few!

My bad, sorry for the confusion.

Rhiz and I joined a few days apart.
I registered with the Old Layo forum on October 4th 2003 and was playing Enzo couple days later after I read all I could about rules etc.

I just wish I could find my old submission for Gotak and look at the date for that! But it seems to be gone. Any help?
-
I remember CNR on Layonara. Dunno dates. A long time ago.
-
I was here a while back as well. Who was the dominant druid before Rhiz joined? I forgot his name, he was the first real character I remember well, just not well enough to remember his name. :)
Your in the same boat as me Blackguy, our submissions were on the old forums which don't exist anymore, at least I dont think they do.
*looking at Enzo's post* I registered about the same time Enzo did, give or take.
Ama and Ling helped out Rufus as well, fun times with the rotters.
Now if we're talking about actual ages, I am one of the older ones here.
-
Dominant Druid before Rhiz.... gotta be Newander.
-
Its scary how only 1 DM has been about longer then some of the other vets.
Remember ATS Ghost? Oh how about the boots of speed off CR 15 monsters. And other goofy stuff that makes me crack a smile.
-
That's it! Newander....could not remember that name. He left then came back for a short time and then left again.
-
if I recall I joined summer 2002, shortly before I joined the military. I definately know it was the beginning of beta 3, travelling alot with fadrien and Rannostlin, then there was that naked gnome, cant remember his name now though, Quintayne was the first person I encountered though :). We didn't have to submit characters at that time either, so in that time Lia didn't have much background to her, kinda was new to RP, but loved doing it, eventually i added more and more story to her that I could probably now write a book about her now if I wished, instead I have notes lying all over the place completely unorganized, haha.
I was also around for about a couple weeks when the server first came out in beta one, I played a character named jennifer Kross, a human theif and i thouroughly enjoyed the server, but at the time i was jumping server to server to compare them, after i left Layonara to check out other servers, i then decided I wanted to return, but couldn't find it anymore, couldn't remember the name rightly, until beta 3
-
Hey, I'm still gathering dust here too.
One of the oldest, not the very oldest though. Probably in top5 or 10 though.
-
Yeah, I remember that naked gnome. I don't remember his name either. It was a funny name though I think. And he had like... a two handed sword or something over his shoulder. It's been a long time.
Yah, Ozy. The world has undergone so many changes. It's crazy. It's literally a different game I guess.
Yeah, ATS, thats what I meant when I said CNR. :O
Ambrosia Trade System. Duh.
Me + names have never been very good. That's why I call everyone "man".
Hey man, how you doin.
Thanks, man. You too.
:\
-
I have a personal hatred for Accronyms myself
-
Well who could forget the little pyromaniac Reggub? Many a night passed by wondering how many times IDii would crash. ;)
*looking at LFFF's post. Fadrien..another name from the past.
-
Hey now what about me? I'm getting up there too :) I joined near the end of Beta 4 I think it was...something like 2 years ago?
-
LFFF you only hate Accronyms because your life revolves around them. MEF, CNO, AMC, CEC, ect... We will see which ones of those you know ;)
-
I think I registered in July 2003 or something, about that time. Might have been august!
-
I got the feeling Layo was around long befor NWN are there any players from Leanthar's 1st works who came in to layo and have been around still now.
Leanthar I just cureos as to the history of layo, it seem to rich to only be 3 years old what forms did it take befor then.
As for players who have been on NWN layo for 3 years wow thats some playing time, how much time do you thing you guys have put into layo excluding
DM stuff and added work for the Handbook and web, I meen just playing time in game.
-
I'm thinking L started layonara as a PNP game back in the 80's with a few friends. From there it just got bigger and bigger as soon as NWN hit the stor shelves back in 98

*looking at LFFF's post. Fadrien..another name from the past.
I remember IDii's crashing computer. I think he once tried to test the spellslots bug or something like that, and logged in and out very quickly, crashing a few times in the process and then crashing the entire server :)
-
Hmm I think I was July 03 too, can't remember for sure now. I remember though the game being advertised right at the start, as someone I knew signed up to help with the creation. Good thread, nice to hear folks reaching back to recall all that stuff. :)
-
Yeah I was August '03. Actually found Layonara as I was searching for my first FPS RPG, found Layo, bought game, the rest is history. :)
-
i think it was march of '02 that i came here, i remember the first people i met were Fadrian, MT King, and Peredoc (the naked gnome that ghost mentioned earlier)
-
MT King was a RL freind of mine in the military that I introduced into the server. He loved the server but realized he couldn't dedicate to it and decided to quit, too bad really, hes now on the east coast and I hardly see him anymore, never goes on msn, grrrr.
Aragon, dont make me figure out accronyms now :P . The one thing that annoys me most about them is one accronym can stand for two or more different things, they dont setup rules for the stupid things. -_-
-
To be honest I can't remember when I joined but it seems as if I've been here forever...funny reading through this thread, remembering the names of characters and players I'd forgotton :)
-
I know this is an old post but there are several names that deserve mention. Of course several of you where correct. POD and Quintayne (SP?) where indeed 2 of the oldest players Leanthars world has had for his online game. However with them, and well before my time where Seth, Capjack, Peredoc click (the naked gnome), My brother and the person that introduced me to the world so long ago, rannostlin, and soooo many others. I actually came around sometime around beta 3. Not sure the exact dates but I believe it was sometime around x-mas of 2002 or 2003.
Long story short, there have been so many people that have visited this server and while some have left more lasting impressions than others, they have all left something of themselves behind with the world for everyone else and I only wish I could recall more of them. But what matters is all of you, whether your still around or not, left a deep impression on me and the friendships I made will stay with me for as long as I can forsee. Thank you everyone. :)
-
I started with Llu back a while ago, when four or five people frequented the server at any given time. I can't recall the date, I'm like Ghost, I don't do dates, or days, or time for that matter really. I have bright out, and dark out. Now, and some time ago. Today, and the other day, which really could be anywhere between now and when I was 3 buying GI Joes.
So I joined the other day.
-
25 sept 2003 I think.
-
I think I have been here for 2 years.Not really sure the date.
-
Some old names from Early October, 2003 - think I was a week after Ed (edit: September 26, 2003)

Omg eric cambrian, he was one of the first I remember to play a "evil/devious" character in a world of good heroes. He had a hard time here. I think he quit due to, to many people shunning him out.

It looks like in the source code that you didn't tag where the links went to.
You set them as the link, but forgot to also add them as the destination.

lol ,Nice screenie of you Perm'ing

Well, I have to say fascinating that dear dear Quintayne still visits here every now and then, although not sure how old this post is.
But have to say Leanthar old boy, the place is looking pretty nice since the times I remember it :). I do apologise for not keeping in touch, but at the time a lot was going on and times / committments were quite tricky.
In case anyone still wonders, I actually stopped playing around my 4th year in uni, which was one work / project etc.. was just taking over a little too much and I was about to start a job. The only reason I never returned was due to a little game called World of Warcraft which I am afraid now has me hooked.
And yeah you guessed it, I am an undead warlock. Quintayne ..aka Scott Taylor is actually a human priest or paladin I think, typical eh? @:) That is actually the last I heard from him a few years ago, totally lost touch I am afraid.
If he still pops in, I would sincerely appreciate if someone could put me in touch.
I am intensely curious though, how is the world these days? Shifter still around? Someone taking care of my tower?? They better be!
Anyway, just a little hello from an old old old friend...
Yours faithfully
Nathaniel Birch
aka The Prince of Darkness aka PoD
aka Graham Baker

PoD Dude! I've heard a LOT about you =P
The oldest non DM character still around with any regularity probably is Eight Bit. I dunno for sure though.
-
Ah, nice to see my reputation is still preceeding me :) Hopefully all bad things I hope...although someone said they thought I got banned for abuse! Shockin!
Used to be a DM as well btw, so not sure the whole non DM character would apply.
PoD was the first, and for most of the while, the only allowed evil character on Layonara. Significant storyline was used to back it up though,...pretty sure it involved me losing my soul somewhere along the lines... Lawful Evil of course, so I didnt exactly go around randomly slaughtering people.
My unusual best friend and almost counterpart was of course Quintayne Rosewayne, the champion of light and everything fuzzy warm. We saved each others lives back in the day and were forever annoying the hell out of each other. I am pretty sure a day didnt go by where we didnt argue, but together we were a pretty powerful force to reckon with.
Was a great story which to this say I still miss, and a random thought just popped into my head which made me wonder how things were :)

Nathan! ;) Thanks for popping by, you held my hand when we went on the Road to Fort Llast and killed some Rotting Souls and the Lich, cool welcome. It's now 5 years later :)
Hope things are well. I've let Leanthar know about this post.
Cheers,
orth

Hiya PoD! How are you doing man? Long time no see.
".....pretty sure it involved me losing my soul somewhere along the lines...."
*GM Smile* I will leave it at that, heh.
-
When you join Layo, you definately at least sell your pinkyfinger ;)
-
By no means the oldest, I started under a different PC (Gre' Mantis) in early 05 that I carried over from another PW (Lands of Acheron). I followed a few others including Aleister and Goldwin. Never looked back.

I'm not around anymore. I'd like to be, but I like eating more than I like new hard drives and I'm not about to delete things I use for school. I knew 120gig wasn't enough.

IDK why we always followed Nathan/PoD into Coraths place and we'd all get killed....
I think he rather enjoyed leading lambs to the slaughter. lol ;)

He did. In fact his favorite fix for anything bug related was to cast Power Word: Kill as a precaution.
