Remembering Influential Players in your RO Career

[Immune]

This is not a thread about pr0 players, nor is it about popularity. This is meant for you to share the names of people you've met in the game who you'd PERSONALLY just like to reminisce about. It doesn't matter how long they played for or when they quit or if they still play, it doesn't matter your reasoning for mentioning them either. Any server and any realm goes. You can name 1 person or 20, even entire clans. Share stories if you like, or just make a short comment about whoever you list... whatever strikes your fancy. I've never seen a topic like this, so I decided "why not?" (The Hall of Fame seemed sort of similar, but it was too easy to get back into the "best players" mindset.... none of that here please.)

That all said, I'll start.

Ignis Hunter + Rage Hunter: Some of the first english players I met on Ra (we were all n00bs), we founded my/our first clan together (called Ignis Fighters... creative, I know.)

Battle Angel Alita, Boukarou, The Hunter is Here: Difficult for me to mention 1 of them without the others. This was my inner circle before Ra started dying for me. Us 4 would wreak so much havoc together... I still miss these guys.

Hephaestus: I believe he was with us in the group above, but I think he came along later. Anyways, we were always pushing each other once I switched to Alsius, and we were nigh unstoppable when we worked together (before WM anyway...)

Warpath: We were friends, not great ones, but we talked. But ultimately he is the one who got me into the hunter class (inadvertently though it was.)

Lexen: He had another name on Ra, but I forgot what it was; Anyways, we started up on Horus together, and we founded Apocalypse together (I actually suggested the name idea; I left for Alsius soon after though).

Jacque: One of my first friends I met on Alsius/Horus. A lot of people didn't like her, and I understood why, but I always got along with her.

Compost: Fought him plenty on Ra, but never spoke to him until Horus. I was in his clan(s) for awhile, he's a cool guy. He sure knew how to stroke my ego, telling me how my warju was intimidating. (I understand now though that all warjus were intimidating, lol.)

Alsirian Legion (Clan): Simply put, this clan got me through the early parts of Horus. A lot of awesome (and crazy) people here. Klutu, Kyrottimus, Anyriand, Ultimate, Enio, Jippy, etc. etc. Good times.

Aarisewan (or whatever his freaking name is/was): I never told a lot of people, but I gave syrtis a real (though short) run. During my time there I met Aari, who coincidentally found me in the starter zone and welcomed me to TWC. I still only made it to 36 there though, lol.

Tristan + Sinister Evil: Knew them both on Horus (iirc), and just kind of got drawn together when we moved to Raven. Both really good-natured and friendly. We had one of the most "family-esque" clans I've ever been in.

Squi: One of the people who welcomed me when I switched back to Ignis on Raven. He waved to me a lot even when I was still a goat, but I never understood why, haha. I stopped trying to speak french because of him though, because he makes me realize just how little I actually know.

Replica (aka Kate): Seriously, everyone calls her Kate. We met on the forum when she was still a gelf (Sonnet). I made a gelf toon just to say hi to her in game and eventually that just led to me convincing her to leave Syrtis lol. We were bestest friends FOR LYFE, and I taught her (as best I could >.>) to play hunter.

Bois: Rarely if ever spoke to him in game, but he sure knows how to debate on the forum. I used to post in the suggestion section a lot, and I'd always know it must be a good (or at least interesting) idea if Bois posted.

Probably missed a few (if not several) people, but, that's it for now. I kind of wrote a lot, but you don't have to do that if you don't want. Have fun posting

Vernus Pl - Showed me a glitch in PP or PP2 (forgot which) where you could run through a block in the bridge and hide. It's fixed now, but that was pretty memorable. He called it the train to Hogwarts.

Efrendi - I looked up to him in game, and he didn't treat me like a dirt bag even though I was level 29. Introduced me to the concept of trolling gelfs.

Hephaestus - I feel quite safe with him, because he's a pretty capable lock.

[Awrath]

Ah, Aarisewan was also the first person I met in Syrtis and was promptly recruited to TWC. An awesome player and a great guy too, used to take my newbie butt (along with others from TWC) to forts and explain how they worked! I do think my first trip to the war zone was with Aari.

I didn't stay in TWC since they seemed to make a big deal out of multi-realmers joining the clan, and I play for fun and prefer not to take thing so seriously. But, in a way that was good as I ended up in Reclamation, and I had so much fun in that clan! Missing players such as Bamaboi, Arwen, Lussiel Rilme, Haranaka, Aphro, Alty, Wire, Saralanna... the list is endless! Reclamation helped me get more enjoyment out of the game, and I learned a lot more about the game mechanics whilst in this clan.

Kornelius, a Syrtian knight was the first player in Syrtis who gave me some nice epic knight gear. Bamaboi also was with him, and provided me with some nice gear too!

Jakob is a brilliant knight in PvP and I remember him taking me to pp, when I was level 30ish, having PvP matches with goats at pp, shame those don't happen any more!

Mr Egg - taught me to sync dance!

Prettykitty! How could I forget her. Thanks Angel_de_Combate. Prettykitty helped a lot of people out including myself, by handing out free items and expecting nothing in return. I learned this trait from her and even today pretty much everything I gave to people is free of charge (which makes me a bit broke in terms of gold, but not a big deal!).

Pnarpa and Ratpool Pan! Two of the most hilarious people I ever had the pleasure of playing with, both awesome players too!

Scias, Selian, Rathaloz, Detalhez, Meleager, Narzoul, Beeker, Tapantaola, Von, Shadowtale, Vitez, Repoorteht, Pauluzz, Jesus, ieti, Medichick/Xaro, Minamoto, Anpu, Annavilya, Ereinion, maciamd, renger, Nel, Salvia, Wolfhound Strider, Silent Shadow <3, Ricksa Arcus, Eragon Shadeslayer - All people who I had quite literally hours of fun with and would instantly /party when they came online.

The list really is endless! I'm sure I forgot plenty of people, but for the most part, I had a lot of fun with most of Syrtis Horus. I never really got to know most of raven that joined after the merge, as soon after that I got bored of playing in Syrtis and mostly played hunter.

As for players from other realms, I can't really speak about them as I haven't played alongside them. I am playing in Ignis at the moment, but will take some time to get to know them so far been (mostly) a warm welcome. Based on forum presence however I respect the opinions of many! Artec, Immune, Ulti, Kitsune, JainFarstrider, standistortion, Kharb, Shwish. I'm sure I missed some out, but I basically value well thought out comments and people who look at the bigger picture rather than their own individual class, and people who keep their cool and explain their concerns without raging!

Ah, you make me reminisce!

All of the above (and more I am sure) have had some sort of influence in my style of thinking and game play on RO.

[Tenel_Ka]

Nice thread!
These are some of the people who made an impact on my RO experience; both the social and combat aspects. I'm only mentioning some of the people I met in my first year of RO, or this post will turn into a book.

Twiztid/Sicker (Ra) - Didn't actually meet him in RO, he got me into this game. Gave me heaps of advice about the game and recommended that I be an Alsius hunter in RA. I ignored him and became a Syrtis barbarian in Horus, but I still appreciate his help.

Wood - Friendly Syrtis conjurer who got me into his clan, where I met a lot of nice and helpful players, and he grinded with me all the way to L50. If not for him and the clan, I would've given up.

Serjio/Suok - L35ish Syrtis marks I used to hunt with all the time, as my PC was shit so I couldn't do fort wars. I would have been very bored of RO if not for him. He also moved to Alsius with me (we were both hunters) and was one of the few hunt partners I'd have.

Ice Cube and No To Studies - Two great friends and hunt partners. Playing besides a warju/healer/tank and that suicidal barb was the best fun.

Rios - He's always had the ability to make me amused or extremely annoyed, in all three of the realms, whether it be in the chat tab or in combat. He's a stupid, arrogant, overconfident, annoying troll, and I've never met a player I like more.

Aarisewan/Aasiora - When I met him, he was a friendly, L45ish player who recruited me to The White Company Dragoons. I remember thinking "lol this pt will never reach 50 or be any good". Shows how much I know. He really earned my respect in the time I knew him, and I don't think I ever told him what a good player and good person I thought he was. ...That sounds lame, I hope he doesn't read this.

Some other mentions:

Lumi, Solomon Dean, Vultureman - Thank you for every LOL your words and actions gave me. It made Alsius a truly unique realm. People should strive to be as awesome as you three.

Lil Hathy - Why couldn't you let players grind at Trelleborg beach peacefully? Why did you have to make life so difficult? Why would you go all the way back there after you were killed numerous times? Thanks a fuckload for making the grind from 35-40 longer and harder than 45-50

Yasur - If not for you, I wouldn't have an Ignis character above L10. You were, without a doubt, the coolest noob in Horus.

[Eyfura]

Blusi, Nini and pogranichnik - My first friends in this game. I used to speak very bad english, was always asking pogranichnik "how to say this and that in english" when tried to talk with Blusi or Nini... Pogra was my real life friend but he passed away some time ago. Nini gave me her 50mil gold when she quited RO.

Sheena - When I was very low lvl, still in initiation zone she came and gave me 10k gold and told me to buy mount with it. She also gave me some low lvl equipment. I don't know who she exactly was or does she still play, but I remember this little thing still after years.

Louvina - Alsius warju. She really was always camping in the forest around syrtis gate with her OP zarkit... And most of the times with friends of course. Made grinding as noob very hard.

Terminator - would be so epic to get you back, even for one day

Compost - I was still quite noob and used to play my hunter a lot. Always got pwned by you Sometimes Biwie raged because I played too bad. Good times anyway.

Bamaboy - One of my favorite persons on RO. Hope you come back some day!!

Medichick - I won't forget it how you have helped me.

Orava, Carawen - ...and some other finnish players. Liked to speak my native language with someone in-game. Sadly you all quited :/

Kilero - Old friend, I wish I could see you more on!

Lussiel - You were good conju. Come back!!

Tirsla - goofy goofy goofy goofy goofy goofy goofy goofy goofy goofy. Such epic troll(?), paid like 100euros for warbanners so he could spam syrtis with them. Reported talking alone to NPCs. Had some funny chats with you even though most of people had you on ignore XD

I am not listing active players on this.

Tell him to get his ass back online. I miss that guy.

[bois]

I am gonna post here so it must be good (or at least interesting) .... haha.

It is a very good thread. Hope it stays so. One that I can really post in.

Now my list is going to be a lil interesting.

Dark Barbarian : I met this guy when I entered the game. I joined his clan and eventually formed Mirage with the defectors from that failed clan. DB helped me a lot. At times when grinding was a nightmare (any old skool knight remembers that horror) DB would keep me on with those monologues in Realm chat. Seriously, that guy got me to 50!

Gummybears : One of those not so active players but really nice, we would chat for hours about all kinds of stuff. Only Starshine beats her in the sweetness scale.

Orimae Fionn : One of my best friends in the game. A lil crazy , always fun always let me laugh and relax. A really nice person once you get to know her.

Wes the wise : my mentor for learning how to play knight. I followed that guy around and learned the trade from how he played. And he was good. No doubt.

Smurv : a bit of a troll and sometimes tough but I learned a lot about knight from him.

Maltazar : (hope I spelled right) This player kept me laughing all the time. It is quite possible that this player has slept with every NPC and MoB in this game XD.

Jakob : good knight and we spoke several times during Christmas event. Cool dude.

Rulez and Panoramix : lol . These players ruled the bridges and taught me how to fear trolls. They always kept things interesting.

Sorry Alsius, back in the early days I hardly went to Alsius lands and stayed home and defended.
However I would like to give a shout -out to that entire realm in those days. The fights were almost always epic and the fighting always had that feel good way about it. When you died and went back to the save you would always be refreshed and thought that the battle was great. You always wanted more. Kudos to all the heroes in Alsius and thanks for all the epic fights in old aggy with the door down and Pn/pn2 . I am nostalgic but pre wm spells were the greatest.

Thanks to everyone for the fun for all these years.

[AariEv]

The nostalgia.... This is going to be a very long and embarrassing thread.

Immune: I knew you probably wouldn't stay long, but it was great talking to you (and reading your amazing rants about resists and evades). You're a great player and I always expected you to be somewhat of a douche because of how well you played your hunter... but I was wrong (Especially when I saw your Syrtis character name which proved you had great taste in music). You were actually the first high level active player I spoke to come to think of it O.o

Awrath: Honestly, I didn't think you were going to continue playing RO and that feeling was doubled when you told me how much fps you played with. Glad you stuck around because not only are you great friend, but you also were a genuinely kind person.

Tenel Ka: My turn to make some "lame" comments then. I actually really admired you and still do actually (Yep, I said it). Not only are you a fun person who a long time ago tolerated my noob behavior, but you also are one of the best players in my book. I've gone out of my way and done some very embarrassing things trying to either get RP from your characters or simply annoy you (on both Horus and Raven) and it has never worked.... ever.... not once. You were another great player (and person) to have met. And honestly, hopefully I'll get to play with you again, only this time I won't be a low level. /lame comment.

Scias: One of the greatest people I've met in this game. I could write an entire post alone as to why he is, but I'd rather not give him the satisfaction of doing so. The time spent in his clan was my favorite period in this game. Thus, despite the fact that he disbanded "unchallenging", I'll never remove it (or my old conju name) from my signature.

Arwen: A remarkably kind person who not only unknowingly taught me a lot about the game, but also accepted me into Reclamation during a time when I seriously started to hate the idea of a "clan" in general. Not only that, but this girl was a genius and did a lot for Syrtis as a whole.

Shrikant: I don't know this player and I've probably said 10 words in total to him. When I first started playing my conju in the warzone, in anger he said "We need a better conju. It's like we don't even have one" (or something similar). Those words are the reason why I played my conju so much (in an attempt to get better) and so in a way... I thank him? It's weird.

Pnarpa: nvm.

-----------------------------------

I could write a lot more about each friend I've had but that would be a novel. I'd list everyone in my old clans as well as the people on Raven who were great to play with and talk to. However, that's not what this thread is about, and the above 6 are probably the most influential players in my RO career. Hope I'm not missing anyone.

[TheMessenger]

I've been waiting all day to reply to get home and reply to this thread hah

I'll do it by class cause it helps me remember and since I have a lot I'll do 3 classes now, and 3 classes later.

Locks
Plunder - In my opinion the greatest lock to ever play the game (all servers included). He is good at RvR and in pvp and lolz@people who whine about locks using MoD in pvp. He made me want to play lock and he is a cool person to talk to in mumble. I've never seen someone that has been able to play the class like him.

Tsuku - My 2nd favorite lock and def. one of the best. He was able to do very good in pvp (even though he never bragged) and he was amazing at RvR too. Another person who I look up to when I think of locks

Mj...Scias' lock - Another amazing lock. In my opinion he wasn't that good when he first started, but definitely became one of the best I have seen play the class. He is also a cool asshole. And even though he doesn't love me, I love him.

Capslock - The love of my life, my forever, my everything, [insert more gay comments here] <3 <3. My favorite lock to play with (arguably because I never really got to play with plunder ). He is also one of my favorite marks and hunters to hunt with. And I love him more than anyone else in this game that doesn't have tits.

Conjs
Ieti - She is, in my opinion, the best conj to ever play haven/horus/raven and one of the best, if not the best, to play the game. I've always looked up to her, not only because of how well she plays conj, but also because of the things she says on the forum.

Healerous - A very close 2nd to Ieti as best conj to play haven/horus/raven. He might be on her level, I didn't play alsius that much, but I recall him being an amazing conj (and lock from what Ive heard) when I played there.

Darksel - The 3rd best conj I have ever had the honor to play with. He recently got b& from facebook and (hopefully) v& by the Scotland Yard lulz. But man, I love this guy. I remember when he was just a noob lock, then he switched to conj and went all hammertime and shit

Erika - because she has tits and I love her.

Marksmen
Clings - The marks that everybody once feared before she quit. She knew how to play marks and was deadly. Shee, along with Fonzy/Dimera, were the two people that made me want to play marks.

Fonzy/Dimera - As stated above, one of the two people that made me want to play marks. I want him to have my babies

Dimanche - My favorite marks hunting partner. Me and him think alike so the coordination we have, even without speaking, is pretty amazing. Im sad that he quit for school (lol lozer), but I had an amazing time playing with him. He is also one of the very few marks who I think is better than me at pvp

Emino - This fag <3 I love you. You are the only marks, besides NS, that I have never beat in pvp. You are another one of the very few that I consider better than me at pvp, and probably better than me at RvR, haven't seen enough footage of that to properly judge though

Linerex - Back when I was "hurr durr i r da gretest pvp max", I pvped him and he kicked my ass whilst only losing 1/3 or 1/4 hp. Was a real ego bruiser but it helped me realize I wasn't as good as I thought and made me want to become better and improve myself

Penguin/Matrim Cauthom - My two favorite alsius marks. I loved fighting with and against yall. I miss Raven and the fun times pre-WM ruining the server. I wish peng had stayed in Ignis, which, lets be honest, he should have. Yall kept the game fun for me as a marks because there were, and are, very few who ever even gave/give me a challenge. And peng have become such a better troll. And chris you will always be the brother of the guy that played in 30minutes or less. Plus, y'all are bother doing better IRL, kudos to yall <3

Dutcheh - Another great alsius marks. One of the few that were able to beat me in pvp consistently. Hit hard af too . Ximboy jajajajajajajaja

Ludavik(sp) - I think I may have talked to him once, not even too sure about that. But damn. Talk about an amazing marks . From his videos, in my opinion, he is the best marks I have seen in pvp. His gameplay is so smooth and all that other good stuff. Would love to see him and Emin pvp. That would be an amazing fight I think.

Ratpool Pan - Argued by many to be the best marks to play Horus, one of the best to play the game, one of the coolest people to play the game, and I miss him. Come back plz <3

edit: I think my reply is more along the lines of a dream team type reply, o well jaja
