Supafly sounds familiar. Anyone here remember the days of the Anomalous server back in 2.0? Today I felt a calling to reinstall steam and play NS again. It's been a long time since I held a rifle <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
Although many of you have never heard of me, I do consider myself to be an Old-Schooler. My original name was [Shuvit.Viper], and some might remember the hakudamas (see my avatar).
The first day I played NS was in the week of 19 may 2002 (yeah, that was half a year before the release, since I was an original playtester for 1.0) and my lived kind of evolved around NS at that time... I think I actually proposed the black/white marines (I remember that topic...)
But when NS was released two factors stopped me from playing; the massive flooding of the boards (from a small to huge community combined with the fact that I wanted to spend more time in Real Life instead of around my computer (- I'm from the Netherlands, so playtesting was at 3:30 AM for me). So I played NS sporadically, and have come back to NS ever since; however, I lost touch with the community (-> mayor NS changes I never took time to learn to play, readyroom.org moved, unknownworlds.com instead of natural-selection.org) and haven't been back seriously.
However, with the upcoming of NS 2.0 I guess I got curious again, I loved the way the developers make the community part of the advancements going on... So I decided to regester again (the forums being ported was also a step more to coming back) and see what...
So this is my official 'Hello!' post, most of you I've never heard of, but hey, I might stick around again...
I'm redownloading NS as we speak; but the same question goes for me as well... What servers are nice?
If you did not play when 1.04 was around, your <i>not</i> old school <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
I came in right before 1.04, man i miss it so much <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" /> Wish I had created a forum account when i first started playing <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

Can't recall that server, used to play on NTFM with Robin and SF back in the day before we all converted over to NWN lol
RL commitments stop me from playing much these days 10am - 8pm job, 6 days a week.. good money though <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" /> and i do enjoy it.

Wow, my old login still worked. I played back in 1.0, didn't join forums till 2.0 actually came out. Used to go under the handle {WZD} Radagast, after the character from the book The Hobbit with the same name. After a while some hot-head came along with the name Nadagast with an "N" (which probably had a bigger reputation since he played more often then I had time to) would harass me every game we were in to where I eventually changed it to Moonmeat, which I played for only a little bit after. But that was long long ago. Played until 3.0 came out and a thing called WoW started taking over my gaming life. Which I am finally happy to say, I quit! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

And I'd consider myself fairly oldschool, started playing in February 03.
Old schooler here. I've been playing since about a week after the first public release. I still try to stop by and read the NS website and fourms every once and awhile. But i'm alot busier then when I first started playing. Most...well almost all of you probably don't even know who I am, unless you played the 3am server from way back. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" /> Oh well, nice to see some people are still here.
