Title: An illustrated history of Europa [warning: image heavy]
Post by: Octiovus on May 25, 2007, 02:24:50 am
I was sorting out my UO picture collection today (an epic task) when I decided that I've yet to see a thread anywhere that charts the history of Europa's RP. I'm not attempting to show all of it here, but merely the portion of it that I've been involved with. This thread shows screenshots from several prominent guilds and communities. Not all the shots were taken by me, but most of them were. You may recognize some of them.

BoC:

There were others also, but my hosting service gave up the ghost before I could finish the lot. Nevertheless, that's a selection of the finest shots I have to offer. Feel free to post your own below chaps!

I loved the
"Here's your proposal...I'm CRUSHING it" Shot.
Also, the Baron uttering "Don't spare the shurbbery!" Is always worth a giggle.
I'll have a dig around mine this weekend.

I played UO 7 years ago and my fondest memory will always be my first proper battle. TBK, AMN vs GRD and I was a footman who survived. I even saw Drakan get taken down by 6 TBK assassins or something.

Bah! I'm not in the KTD picture :( That's what I get for being a lousy Akindo.

Akindo?
Heh, you were once superviced by Kazuo then :)

As for that ninja event... gheh, TBK ninja pwned!

I'll always have fond memories of TCR, the best criminal guild like ever!

It all started for me at the classic villa building displayed on this picture. The original Fallen From Grace, I got to know such fine guys like ketrid and oli gotrek in their starting days. The director back then, silence, recruited me as Nocroxem.

Later, years later actually, I rejoined Fallen from Grace as Juba Marveson. It was by then called T*M, and that's where I met Ryan Greystone, Tiberius and Gimbly.

Juba Marveson is the lost character that was in fact the inspiration towards the creation of grief.

Let's not forget this one! The ORC campaign. It was so effective the GM's actually removed the Orcs earlier and I won the barracks in a Stratics contest by posting the reports on that forum.
