Prompted by yesterdays post, there is now the start of an image gallery section (permalinked at the top too, incase you miss it), christened with some of Porks EQ screenshots. I had not seen these since they were taken 7 or 8 years ago, yet still remember quite alot of the situations, how scary is that?
Piiiiip
Don’t worry this isn’t a rake over the coals of Everquest type post, maybe that’s coming though, but more about one screenshot that turned up.
Back when we stayed up all night
A few things to note about this screenshot taken by Piip, probably at 3am one Saturday:
- It’s shown at 80% of full size
- The low damage the player is dealing, which is of course relative, but no game now would launch with such unimpressive figures whizzing through the combat log versus end game NPCs.
- The lack of stuff for the player to do in combat, auto attack and occasionally backstab (as a rogue)
- The functional interface
- One of the people in this still plays the game, and with the same character.
Anyway, it was fun at the time.
Your History
Today I’ve excavated a few histories of CFH from the archives, the first was written around 1999 and the second in 2003. There will be a third to follow, but tha will involve me writing instead of just copy and pasting.
