Any Old schoolers still here?

DuoGodOfDeath

Sir Kyle "MUSTANG" Cummings is too preoccupied with CS:S to play this game which is nearly dead.

Annihilator

Hahahaha Did you save that pic or is it still up on Kyle's ns pics site?

I've been around a while. I didn't clan when you did, but I've been here since the begining regardless.

Orange_Duck

RiotingNerd

Hey! I'm new to the forum (date of 06!) but I've been playing since the good old days (i dunno the version). I know this because I remember doing the 2 hive lockdown strat alot and because I missed all of the 2.x days.

I know I was playing since... Month 6 to Year 1 (dunno exact date, I'm only 14 now (so i was like 10 or 9 back then (no I never used the mic and made everyone mad with my child voice (no im not one and never was one of those kids my age or lower who think they pwn at NS are are my definition of the real NOOB (wow i got off topic (yay for 6 brackets (I'm hungry))) <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />)))).

Anyway, nice to see some old, not familiar faces around <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

...telltale quebec-retard accent. (why is it that quebec-english speakers sound like they're partially downs, and the french just sound french?)

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />, I'm english speaking quebecer, and I feel sad <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />.

On a lighter note, the french here is complete slang, our word "S'appelle" which means "(he) is called" sounds like "shlappelle" or something near that. English is the minority and bleh, I speak it like everyone else from my perspective (with just as much slang as the rest of the North-American teenagers).

EZero

lol funny enough chocolate, I seem to remember playing with YOU quite a bit awhile ago in the 2.x times in random pub servers.

Heh, I miss this game <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />

Browser_ICE

Been playing since 1.04 or before.

I'm a quebecer too but for the past 10 years, I've been talking English 80% of the times at the office.

Back then, I used to manage the site Icetronic for game news. Stopped doing it around the time I started playing NS.

Hey guys whats up. Anybody I might remember from day 1 still here? Or maybe anyone that met up with others @ the "NS Tourney" we held at CPL with Charlie watching over our shoulders? Trying to download NS again, just got done with a horrible job that ate up all my time for the past year, I want to get back playing again.

Can anyone give me some good servers? My aim is a bit rusty, but I still remember some old strats :-)
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->I remember you. I used to be in TAU. You might remember me as Newbiestyle, The Hero, or just plain tex. What's up supafly? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

As far as servers... I don't really know any (i haven't played in forever either) but my forum General Mayhem is trying to start up a server. Here's the IP: 216.32.72.179:27015 (packhead NS 3.2)

shoutout to all my ex clanmates from tau, envy, and exigent. if there's anyone still left.

locallyunscene

Might as well join the mutual masterbation. Been playing this game for way too long. Not quite day one but close to it, 1.0 at least. I've actually seen a few of the older players around. Saw a guy with the deadly dozen tag on the other day, I still remember screen shotting a babbler kill on Nancy on that server.

mouth

Barely around. It's nice to download new versions and see how many different ways there are to make an unsatisfying, incomprehensible mess of non-progressive gameplay. That, and i occasionally like to reminisce. The way testers and constellation members still use "if you don't like it, you just suck/haven't played enough yet" as a failsafe answer to everything? Yeah, just like the good 'ol days!

Javert

Yep, I was there since 1.0, 1.01 lag fix, 1.04 awesomeness, and still here.

snozzle

I was apart of that hated group... ohh the veterans . Apparently we ruined the game <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
Beta testing 2.0 was fun though. Oh well.. go oldschool

echs

Remember back in 1.04 in 2002, tried to interest my brother to play NS, only until I read a MOD article in PC Gamer about NS I eventually started playing myself, didn't even like it at first. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

I started playing back when you had to manually carry your data packets 10 miles to your ISP in the snow uphill both ways.

And people complain about their shots not registering today, heh.

Axel_Stone

You know... it could be also hes hoping to find some old players he used to play with...

It may have turned into an e-peen spamfest... but It doesnt sound like he wanted it that way.

BTW: Hai²u. Used to play on many old servarz. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/asrifle.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::asrifle::" border="0" alt="asrifle.gif" />

I remember starting in 1.01, posting because I have no idea when I joined the forums.

I remember the Halloween release. Everybody on the server had like 800 ping, and I was getting about 10 fps.

Vinin

Welcome back; the last time you visited was July 17th 2005.

Hi guys, I saw they released patch 3.2 on gamespot today and was amazed the game was still going. I am not trying to spark any argument, just amazed. I personally think it is awesome that it has continued. cX for life <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

I am noticing that alot of people are comming back (My self included) for some unkown reason.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

:-) *meep*

I came back when I got a constellation e-mail from Flayra asking us essentially to come back and restart the community under a protected version of what is now public.

I'm happy to have so many people comming back.
