Thread: Anarchy Online Milestones

  1. #1

    Anarchy Online Milestones

    Attempting to compile a timeline of significant Anarchy Online Milestones from the very beginning.
    There is another similar old thread here but that is more funny events and incidents - and it's disorganised. Can we collectively compile an actual timeline?

    If anyone else that still remembers things.. backed up/proof/validated wherever possible... and any other significant milestones that we've forgotten or missed that we can add to the list...
    Shadow Ops
    Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see.
    They'll say we're disturbing the peace, but there is no peace. What really bothers them is that we are disturbing the war.
    Tired of little elves with bows? Fed up with spell-flinging goblins? Bored to death by the solitary world of linear games? Despair not. Freedom is on its way, and its name is Anarchy Online.

    Rules.

    1. Validate
    2. Show screenshots and post links to auno/PoRK/forums wherever possible.
    3. Funcom staff, GM and ARK verification overrules disputes with regards another player's claim.
    4. If you see something that is incorrect submit how you think it should be adjusted with your version of reality, with validation wherever possible.
    5. Try not to polute the list with too many overly-specific firsts. Breed/Faction/Profession/Dimension/Expansion are the top 5 categories, but others are considered and added on and until there is an actual need with enough submissions to warrant a whole new category, will go in the unsorted or misc category.

    Have fun walking down memory lane!

    No. Booooyaaa was first, he was on RK1. It was announced in the launcher at the time. Like 7 months before the RK2 person.

    Some people claim to be the first neutrals to achieve some of these goals. You might have to split it up by faction
    Trypha - 220/30/70 Engineer - General of Nocturnal Fear
    Trypothecary - 220/30/69 Doctor
    Trypocalypse - 220/30/70 Soldier
    Tryptophy - 220 Crat

    Definitely want to add RK3 and neuts in there. I was thinking of putting various colours (red/green/blue) for clan/neut/ot and RK1 RK2 RK3 in list... Unless you guys have some suggestions on how to do it more easier to read/accomplish this?

    You know ...I also am pretty certain I seem to remember it may have been Kuzne too. Searched for it on forums but all I found was this and it was on Test...

    That should be correct. You can always check the sector42 forum, it should also be there with the date.

    Your the first person to do a firsts list like this, in years.
    Posted by Seventh: Has something to do with the fact that RL speaking im 172 sm high and weight 96 kg, all of which come in muscle form (and guessing your reaction about forum pvp, yes i can log into webcam )

    Said the pixels lol..

    He already had the Invasion Plans from Live, but you couldn't turn it in for an ACDC until the 17.3 patch. Still think he was the first to loot the Invasion Plans.

    Shattered Dreams (neutral rk2) held NLD site iirc for quite a while, over 7 years till Paradise took it out of sheer boredom. Then President Falikos had a screenshot of the CT being planted complete with timestamp.
    Towerblock, 220/30/70 Engineer
    President of Steadfast

    And way too many alts...

    Still some very core milestones and achievements missing..Who was first to 200 and when? First orgs? Would aou or gsp or arks even know?

    This kind of stuff is more important now than ever since PoRK is gone and server merge nuked history etc.

    We might even discover what makes this the great community that it is ...
