An illustrated history of Europa [warning: image heavy]

[Octiovus]

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:



This was a large force during the Orc liberation campaign.



Covian diplomacy at its best



Covians fight hard



One of, if not THE, largest Covian parade

Grd:



Human chess, Grd style



Pre-AoS citadel



Powerful display of Yewish power



Nice waywatcher montage

T*M



T*M doing what we did best.. causing mayhem



Holding fast



Ryan and I got into some tricky situations..



Older Fallen From Grace style mercenaries



Rather large Shirefolk market



Once upon a time there was an Orc clan to be feared..



Rare CoY/CoRE event



Local wytch on trial (later burned at the stake for his CRIMES)



Fear the TRUE horde

CoRE:



A lonely Christmas in exile with an occupied town for BoC. Santa Twothumb on display.



As strange as it sounds, CoRE USED to be violent..



The unity parade to celebrate the defeat of Mondain

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!

[Mela Arkay]

Hah, Mela with long bright red hair and a male tunic looked ace back in the day.

[Tyrael]

Man I hope that some weekend they have in IG event thing again so we can all show up with our shiney armor.. it would be grand.. All we need to do now is get our numbers up!

[Samuel West]

And get grds numbers down... 

[Vince Valentine]

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.

[Samuel West]

*Whistles innocently....*

[qom_riyadh]

Damn, seems that I have missed a whole bunch of cool events...

*walks away sad he hadn't have a broadband few years earlier*

[Khaelieth]

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.

[Ileana Leontine]

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

[Moraine DiGoraz]

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!

[Grief Dryfh Gry]

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.

[Shadwell]

My old character named Caggun (now given away to Demarian) before he turned Undead.



The -3 ARMSMASTER!


This was when I took over IGF and ran arround in the PIMP full verite suit. Everyone in CoY hated my resists.



LAST PVE EVENT I DID. EVER!. Or close.



*scams the celts*



Comedy gold!



Being jailed after killing half of WBB during a rune bug. It said Trammel but it went to Fel.. Right next to my old house there.



Trying out UO3d. And killing Zhedra the former GM of The Undead.

[Shadwell]

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.

[Mercy]

I got some pictures sent to me of a few battles that occured during the Loyalist v Rebel battles.

[Erik Arkay/Evinyatar]

I took the LB Castler siege pics....Good stuff that was



A time not so long ago where Cove supplied the biggest faction in the liberation of Vesper. The Northern Alliance...A beautiful thing to behold in it's time.
