Nostalgia
I want [SmuG] back. I have no idea what happened to jack and Dragon45 but I know Isaac is getting drunk somewhere in Canberra RIGHT THIS SECOND. Come back.
Boirunner. Last he told me he was working on a web game or something but that was a few years ago. He had lots of great ideas.
AA 2.23. Spam weasel. Lots of silly people saying "they're not overpowered!!". The joy when BA got released. Also an AA unit: commandos. Being able to capture everything without being spotted. Awesome
The SYs in general. SJ, Yeha, Fnordia etc. SJ was an incredible player.
[WarC]. NOiZE, Daywalker, min3mat, etc. One time I was playing some other game I think Warsow or something and I saw Daysleeper. That was fun.
AF's awful spelling. I remember somebody made a program which would automatically correct it, my first post on the forum was saying it didn't work, heh.
The hideous font early Spring releases used.
The server being hosted in Slovakia.
Constant desyncs.
My first multiplayer game where I said "hey i am a newbie please stomp me!!" and somebody doing just that. Was incredible fun. Played on SmallDivide. Best map.
The many attempts at a NewUI with the curse of the NewUI.
AF's insane posting rate.
E&E. Best mod ever.
The PRO_ clan. Are any of them still around? I can't even remember the name of the best guy, he was incredible. 1v1s were amazing. Dunno what the 1v1 scene is like nowadays.
Share your memories! It's fun!

Re: Nostalgia
hanging out in teamspeak with fang mello and the lot was fun.
having hope for the engine and community.
believing there was going to be a community of people making awesome content.
Not having to deal with license bullshit
Not having people baw about map sizes
not having 40 spring projects with none of them completed.

The time when Altored Divide was played all the time instead of DSD.
My first proper game - A massive XTA game on Mars. Good times.
The time when I actually had time to play Spring

Re: Nostalgia
alarm sound
giant blue background of chat
riverdale was 3 maps in one
lua was "the thing that makes spam in chat" when it broke
downloading a map with browser, clicking "reload mods&maps" and it just worked
forest fires (there was some map with super dense forest)
so much error spam in chat that talk was only possible by markers.
esp in games with more then 10 (16?) it spammed something about team numbers > X
over 9000 air cons building berthas
some maps caused desyncs and were avoided (centerrock got plaqued by this i think

[LCC] Being all pro and secretive -- What happened to that clan? The only guys I see from there now are the senior ZK devs.
Being confused about everything. That was fun.

Lion ruins everyone, who needs whole clan.
Re: Nostalgia
Totally. Lionheart was the first awesome Spring player I played against. (back then, he was just a blue-star!)Wombat wrote:Lion? Bee? INFIDEL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MidKnight wrote:[LCC] Being all pro and secretive -- What happened to that clan? The only guys I see from there now are the senior ZK devs.

Also, I just rediscovered this wonderful post from my early devving days (circa 2009):
NubKnight wrote:My initial impressions tend to suck :p . i once thought that Peet ran the XTA forum, smoth was a detractor of Gundam RTS, Det was the head CA dev, rattle was a troll, spikedhelmet was a SWIW dev, forb had ripped the evo rts logo, and Licho was a company that sponsored spring
Re: Nostalgia
but I am a detractor of my own project.
Re: Nostalgia
...and rattle trolls sometimes, and Licho hosts Spring.smoth wrote:but I am a detractor of my own project.
My second impressions evidently suck as well.
Re: Nostalgia

also tombom i wanna play with you sometime why are you in annoying eurotime

Re: Nostalgia
When smoth declared he is not gonna post on the forums again..
ah good times..XD
Drama from Argh/Smoth threads..
Trolling EE thread making whats his name rage...
Neddie not declaring himself to be community lead (so funny).
hmmm what else what else...
Not having 16 player orgies on DSD.....
having 8 player orgies on speedmetal.
Widget collecting not being a part of the Spring gameplay experience.
When there were no pesky non ta mods distracting people.
when Spring was called TAspring!!
Having a community of semi skilled players playing properly sized games...
BA not having rezzers in T1....
Half of the community being trolls...

Re: Nostalgia
Hey guys, remember the disgusting old spring website?
