The History of LotJ!

LOL! I’m excited to read these logs!!!!!

I’m hoping they may fill in some gaps in my memory. Or inspire me to at least go turn on my old computers and look up my old ones as well. Cheers, bro!

The only log I’ve ever found with anything Avanga in it, lol.

Thank god we don’t need to obey rule #20 anymore!

Funny how most of those rules applied to the Immortals and in no way really affected the game at all. Someone really did have a small penis….

It was Raven!

I also love how Ghost broke Rule #28. And often. His AvP MUD was the best! Though I don’t remember surviving more than fifteen minutes at best…

I wonder how many of those rules were directly because Senav decided to be a dick … hrm …

And on the topic of oldbie things … my first timeline was the one that had the Khaeros Empire in the middle of it.

Aramus & Bhuvan were the two initial leaders of the New Republic.
Leon was locker-duping Mandalorian & Sith Gear for his ‘Justicar’/’Peacekeepers’/’Whatever’.
Pakua (twi’lek) ran the BH guild that was based out of the NE corner of the one city on Tatooine.
Yrrrshrak Laish cloaks were still in-game — they glowed, and were only wearable with an evil alignment.
Mirlo had his Jedi Master Lazkren, and …. oh gosh I forget who played Tollock, the Dathomiri Male Jedi Master.
Ocerion and Ceres (Shnuku) were an IC couple, and changed factions about once per week.
Jerek ran the Imperial Remnants with an iron fist, and actually played them as evil (randomly kidnapping people, RPing with them, and then releasing them).
There was a hidden clanonly shuttle that would ferry people people from Roche to Korriban (translation: roomprog to trans people in a theoretical shuttle that could never been seen, stopped, blockaded, or shot down)
Jylissa/Rayleen was Orion’s ‘Favored One’ at the time.
Kate & Andvari had just joined about a month before the pwipe. Kate joined the Hapan Consortium.
And it ended in Chiss.

Best Timeline Ever.

Oh, and when OSAY was permitted, it was free to do (via OOC points), but you could only do it with exactly two people in the room.

Hi all,
Question was the rpc always a thing even in the old days? and sorry if I am getting off topic but how did electing these members work in the old days to where it is is now and I don’t even know how it is done now anyways. Thanks Kevin roberts.

Hi Kevin,

The RPC has been around longer than I have, and I started playing here in 2004. I think “in the old days” each person manually went to a room on the mud to vote. Nowadays, during elections a new page is available on the website and you vote there.

The RPC has been around a LONG time but it wasn’t always for the purpose of restore cases. The RPC used to be a bunch of upstanding individuals in the community who could be expected to help newbies and set a good example in RP and stuff. Man, how we’ve lost our way. 🙁

I started back in 2002 or 2003 (I think) after being referred by some people in SWC. Ghost and Raven were in charge and the mud was running on the archsysinc.com server (which I think belonged to Ghost’s parents). I have no idea what happened after that, but I was elected as an RPC member in 2006 (I think) and shortly after I became an imm since they were desperately lacking a coder. Since then, I’ve been doing crazy shit every once in a while and have racked up hundreds of code changes plus lots of little things as well in my time, though Walldo does all the real work 🙂

Maybe not the most helpful history document, but I would love to see a real timeline of our game’s existence.

How can you talk about your LotJ history without mentioning that which is Shinypants????
