Avian Gamers Network

Remember when we first built the PA hall.... and we had that member get stuck in the basement because the elevator button vanished. I remember thinking how it sucked that all our deeds were locked in the basement…weeks and weeks went by… but I almost died laughing a few weeks into the situation when I learned we had a man trapped down there.


Who was the member who stayed in the basement guarding the harvester deeds until the devs fixed the elevator? Can anyone find the posts we made to the SWG forums telling them about our trapped man?

I think it was tosraugim (sp?).... I found the whole situation hilarious. He was guarding our precious deeds after all, but at what cost?

He tried running for president and got alot of sympaty votes because of this

BAHhaha yeah I remember that. He would log in every now and then and we would talk to him from above (this was waaayy before we had guild chat).

He even had a CSR offer to remove him but he just would not go.

We had a fortune in harvester deeds in the basement... and he did not trust the devs. When they offered to warp him out of there, he told them not to. He was not leaving all those deeds. He would not leave until we could use the elevator and get all the deeds out. I think he thought they would wipe all those deeds when he was gone.

He stayed in that basement for a very long time; until we figured out that there was a bug with the PA hall. When you hit the item limit the elevator button would vanish.

That had to be the funniest thing I have ever heard regarding SWG.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA............HAHAHAHAHAHAHA....

definitely the funniest thing i have ever heard in SWG! i could just picture people standing there talking to nothing!

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Ahhhh the good old days. Days when I was running around with an armor set that no sane person would want to be seen in. I think I had citin-, mabwari and bone armor mixed together in a sweet, yet horrifying outfit.
Yet, I wore it proudly. I had, after all, managed to get all those credits needed to buy all the different pices.

How I miss those days

Man I remember looking at guys hanging out by the Keren Starport in their bone armor... thinking "Darn, those are the leet dudes"

LMAO yeah me too! I remember there was one guy who would sit by the Public Crafting Stations in Keren up on that hill outside the starport and custom make you Armor.
I had to go and run XX number of missions just to afford a full set.
A few months ago I took over an account from a friend of mine who played on Corbantis. He and I used to run around on Chilastra together way back in the day. When I logged his Chilastra character on she had a full set of 8% Mab Armor fully equipped and a Tusken Rifle!

I'm 99% sure the member stuck in the basement was Morganus. And I know he wasn't completely solitary as he was a part of Nabubu City on Starsider, but he did check to make sure the deeds were there every day. Talking to him in spatial was the best.

I also remember Srabe being one of the leetest players I interacted with in the early days. I think he outpaced Dumin getting to Master Arch.

Hehe, yeah. I got in the game about a month later and I was so jelous of you all having the medium BER 4 harvesters. I had no clue what was going on, I actually spent days looking for a good spot for Crystalline Gems, because I thought they were valuable. Then I ran missions and hand sampled until I could afford a personal harvester, which I put on the 78% gem spot I found.

Little did I know that noone would buy them...

ohhh yeah that reminds me.

-I remember when we had fields of medium harvesters. I think we were the first group with them, and other players would always ask me how we got them so quickly. I was so proud. I took so many pictures of our harvester fields... but I lost those when I formatted my PC.


-I remember those Cat-in-the-hat looking Naboo creatures that would kill half of our Avians. The walk was of Keren was so dangerous back then.

-Or what about those days when sludge panthers (or whatever nadoo cat) would camp our harvesters. I remember having to call in reinforcements so that I could pay maintenance and empty the hopper. A crew of many Avians would come running, one Avian sacrificing himself by agroing the cat, giving me time to tend to the harvester and burst run with the rest of the group to safety.

Yeah I remember that, I had a nasty habit of being very scared of the corpse run back then!

yeah I remember those calls to arms and we where on foot no less!
Those where fun times but man o man am I glad we don't have to corpse loot anymore.

I would like for there to be at least a few creatures per planet that even a Master Combat person runs from every now and then. I do miss that aspect of the game, true big game hunting.

I remember the first time I saw Lendo Horran (remember him?) walking around with a full suit of Chittin. I thought he was uber!

Then I saw a Novice Bounty Hunter. I thought he was uber too.

I actually thought it was Mantison.

I was there the day the CSR first came to the hall after 3 weeks - and then he spent an hour trying to get his name, "CSR_David" to display right. What a quack.

Moge, remember the Fort Tusken "fish in a barrel" shoots with the Tusken Kings? Good times...

yeah the old Tusken Fort was amazing. I remember I thought I was Uber with my Giant Peko Peko pet. I also remember when the first person showed up at the fort with a Flamer, everyone was like "WTF was that!"

heheh.. yeah, I thought you were the shiznit with your giant bird flyin' around all the time. I must have been out by the time the flamer got there.

See we need more threads like this, when I was still actually in the game.

Haha, I remember when I spent a fortune on crappy padded armor and everyone would 'ooooh' and 'aaaaah' because I was all blue.

One of my favorite moments was when we took a large group to visit the battlefield. Over a dozen took to the field. No one was very sure what was going on. Only a few missed the memo that we were a crafting PA, so they were clearly overpowered compared to the many chefs, armorsmiths, weaponsmiths, and merchants in the group. We tried it twice. Some people weren't able to join in the beginning. Some were able to rejoin during the fight. The turrets opened up a can on many.

In the end, we crashed the server. Everyone was frozen, but I believe spatial still worked before everyone disconnected and that region was "Loading..." I definitely wish we could do that again.

And I miss the days when scout blasters were uber.

I remember that! I was one of the ones stuck outside for I a round I think. They shut all of the battlefields off shortly after that so we never got a chance to try it again.

Cyrus, remember our hunting trip with the piles of huge snapping turtle corpses? I still have those pics somewhere. I think Kharlaq was with us.

I had a fairly nice collection of Kebernet's first weapons displayed on my old Naboo house wall. Value dropped when he came out of retirement and I think the movers lost most of them on the trip to Talus.

BTW, what happened to Lendo? I acctually beginning to miss him.
And also. You all say that you got pictures from that time. Why don't you post the pictures here? So everyone can see them. Like the photoalbum that ones mother keep of you from her childs growing we could have ours with the SW:G's first step.
