Celtic Heroes

I played morningthaw in 2000. I just retired my account in 2011.

Wow Marshill too!

I was most active from 1999 to 2002. I picked it back up again briefly but it had already lost some of what made it special to me!

I started on Darktide in Holtburg. I was fighing mud golems on a hill near town where they spawned and Og came up and welcomed me to the server with a trip to the limestone. I was a member of Son of Boarchild for any that were familiar with early Darktide.

I am really excited that us AC folk found each other. Unfortunately my two favorite elements of AC will never make it it into CH: The skill and attribute customization! I loved experimenting. And of course, I loved the sheer size, amount of dungeons, and quests. My favorite quests were kinda for non-uber items, but I loved the Black Orb (because it looked like a bowling ball) and I loved the silifi of the crimson stars. Can we get quests like that in CH!? What a sexy axe with cool upgrade stones. Of course we all liked shadow armor and atlans. I like that shadow armor came in three varieties. I was always partial to Amuli.

Deucalon, I actually beta tested AC2. Though that was like 2002ish so I do not remember much of it. I was a Lugian tactician I believe on Darktide. AC2 should have made it, but they concentrated on AC1 and AC2 which didn't work out so well. And, AC1 had that special sandbox feel that once you get a taste for is hard to give up. Just think of how large it was and you could go anywhere as long as you ocould make the perilous run. When I first discovered Mt. Soushi, I knew AC was for me. I spent many hours in Qbar at the two limestone golems. And just finding remote lifestones to bind to in the middle of nowhere was so cool. Every little detail was amazing. I remember being able to stand on the second floor in Waijou and snipe drudges Anyhow, we all should try to co-author a thread in the feedback or petition section sharing some of the things that made/make AC one of the longest running MMO's to date. Maybe Admin and the developers will use some of them. Admin is awesome about incorporating feedback. Some of my suggestions have made it in game which is pretty cool!

By the way, I think the Auction House (AH) can be okay if it is unique to each server. Some community members are pushing for one AH where we can by and sell between all servers. That would be a big mistake.

Something like /Tradehall wouldnt be bad, but I did like how we all could just portal to Subway and chit chat and trade/sell.

For those that did not play Asheron's Call. It was a vast land mass with tons of dungeons (many hundreds maybe more). And each town (there were a lot of towns) had a life stone which is similar to our leystones (onlu you could bind to any life stone you want and cast a spell to portal to that life stone). Each town (well most) had a portal in and out of it as well (portals were big swirling purple circles, I will post a pic below). You could tie to portals too. Subway was a low level dungeon with undead monsters. But where you first portaled into it, there was a large room with no monsters. If you weaved your way through the halls of the dungeon, there was a room you could jump down into (yes we lack jump in CH but maybe they can add it sometime). THe longer you held spacebar the more your jump bar would fill so you could do little rabbit hops or big jumps (and jump was a skill you could put points in, so some of us could stand on the ground and jump onto rooftops). Anyhow, you jumped down into this pit (a fall that low levels cannot survive because you take impact damage from jumping). In the pit there were portals to many towns. It made for a great place to tie to and have access to a number of locations (since you can't tie to multiple portals at once).

My idea in The Settlement thread which is linked on pg 1 of this thread is to make a dungeon like that in CH. Check it out!

I am hoping the trade hall in CH will be isolated to each server and will allow us to see who is selling the item. This would be better than people spamming the /Shout channel.
