Well I can remember when me and Ste were excited because we could afford a couple of top class weapons per day!

Guess that makes me old school.

more people were active back then because whenever you go to farm someone if you dont spend the naq it will be gone at once thats why you have to open alot of windows for it, and at that time there were no tabs yet not like now :P and there was this time limit on the page like when you dont do something it will say your loitering :lol:

i remember helping my officers and me get ss we spent around 50k uu and around 9k turns at that time and that was a great deal at that time lol

Actually it was 100 UP...I know who reached 1000 up first, it was me followed a few hours later by iron2047 and then Fox and Jake. The 4 of us were the UP kings until the bug allowed certain people to catch up. I remember the days when iron and me had level 22 covert and no one else even had level 21.

As for the first true number 1 in this game, it has to go to Fox, who got it on skill. The guys before him were either lucky, in Silent Todd's case hitting an admin account for 2.8 million naq when people were farming for 50k and of course ELUSIVE bought his rank.


You just have to say it was someone in Omega for number 1. LMAO, Omega aint everything ETL..you think it is, but it aint, there are some better people not in Omega that are better then some Omegans...


Having been around when Fox was #1, and having seen all the rank1's yea, I'd have to say that Fox was the first to get there by skill and fair play. But, I think that the first true "super account" has to go to _Apophis__.


I dont think you can really call someone with 50 multies fueling his account a "true first super account" lol.


I don't think he was ever proven to be a multi. Suspected, but not proven. Much like JUAN.

lol I joined the game and saw him so joined him :lol: ..I was part of over 100 officers, talked maybe to more than half with alliance forums :P

Got ALL my weapons sabbed by mouth because I farmed him :lol:

Was in that huge list of officers. The guy wasnt called S_C Thor or something? If yes I see who it is, one of biggest armies of games.

Well thank you Usul for linking me to this thread :) I can't be bothered to read through 9 pages... but yeah I'm old :D

I remember the coming of Appy... Crayshack... lots of good times :) And Tok'ra Soup! :D Anyone else remember ol' Palpy?


Yes I shall return to the forums :) It'll be a few days, maybe a couple of weeks, but I should be back full-time.

I started in April 05, so I'm pretty old. I would deem anyone who remembers a time when Omega wasn't the number one alliance in-game to be at least fairly ancient.

On another note, I remember the build-up that next fall with the invention of motherships and ascension. And I miss being able to kill uu, those were good times.
