A few times recently I've found myself thinking about things that have changed on Amia and what has come and gone. Of all the things I miss I have to say that I really do miss the nibblers that were outside West Cordor. For those of you that don't remember or were not around nibblers were a type of attack chicken for lack of a better term. Is there anything silly that you miss from Amia? |

Those chickens would kick your ass, too! I miss rabbits in the forest, and the feral gnomes used to have animals, and it was fun to dominate them, and use them against the gnomes! lol There was also a random mountain lion that very rarely spawned in the forest, and it would put a hurting on you. |

Oh and people have mentioned some caravan that used to be cool, and I'd like to see more of Underport then the one room. Naivatkal wrote: Amarice-Elaraliel wrote: I miss Ankh's tomb to level.

I miss the Tropical Island. So many shenanigans happened there for people battling to take control of it, having picnics, & gem-hunting. On an older PC I still have a port there.. though you cannot bind to a leyline there. I miss Cluckzilla sightings. Actand's hunting. Khem and the Oasis there, and yes, Djedet because so many PC's had a more desert people feel to them and had their own town. I miss the Job System from when it was first implemented. I miss Ardent Hallows of the Cordorian Guard, and attacks with soggy blueberry muffins. I miss players who have left, and the "Good Old Days". I miss the Manor. I miss tempus Hold in the Quagmire Mercenary Camp and the tunnels from Underport to L'Obsul. Without them Amia would not be the unique creature it is now; with them? Explosions. Implosions. Death. Chaos... awesomeness. |

| Post subject: | Re: Anything silly you miss from bygone Amia? |
The floating shield has a lot of basis in older Cordorian lore, and was mostly famously used ICly by Collin Reyes during a massive thunderstorm, diverting the brunt of the storm North, supremely pissing off the Stormgod Talos in the process. The city itself was saved, but Cordor North was utterly ravaged. The "Weathershroud" showed its powers publically at that point - the ability to ward off natural disasters from Cordor, or, at least, blunt their effects to lesser power. |

The Abyss caravan was different, yes. Some nicer items to be found there to be sure. Still, how long can a lone vendor stand out in the Abyss without either being carted off, chucked over the edge, or deciding that the profit was no longer worth it? Also comes to mind a silly event in Cordor when Bananers the kobold spelled out "GUARD SUCK" in sausages after getting yelled at. Good times. |

Ah that. Most of those items were spread between the abyss and gauntlet shop. Mostly the scrolls went to the abyss shop. The reason was that everyone was chunking a few haste and invis postions for little gold and then ran there (was only on the second abyss area) on low level to hoard a bunch of greater planar binding and summon IX scrolls and just sat back and let summons level them. So those items aren't really gone, just relocated. |

I miss Underport, as it was the only place on the server you could find illegal black powder barrels and it felt nice to have an UD presence on Amia Island. I can remember my dwarf spying on Velden and Cyn'drel as they plotted various illegal things with Irr'afae. I actually miss the old Shrine... Not so much the area, but the people. It all seemed to fall to bits. The Shrine of Eilistraee has a massive historical legacy for Amia; whay back from Vicki D'Vreeze. I sort've feel like it got killed off by OOC circumstances and needs a bit of love. I played Amia briefly back in the golden age of NwN and I remember spending about ten hours straight RPing in the Mystran Monolith... It was governed by a player character who had a spell sequencer staff, which I'd never seen used before that point, and there was some great RP in there... I can't remember his name... But, I think the centralised arcane community is something missing from the server. |

I really miss Djedet - it had the feeling of a small desert caravan town that Nes'ek doesn't have. I also miss the old Grove story-telling area. To my mind, the edge of that area was always like the Sky Forest and Guldorand turned out to be - perched on a cliff edge looking out over the distance. I totally don't get that feeling from it now - the sense of height and wonder is gone. In terms of silly stuff, the old Cordor square (pre-quake) and the goings-on there, like making dex and tumble rolls to climb up and jump off houses, and the Sunites (really closet Sharessin, most of them!  ) and other PCs who hung out and gossiped there. I'd love to revisit that area because I've forgotten exactly what it looked like.

The War Knights faction always had fun rp and antics for me to log into. Especially when there were other active factions to go head to head with... Banites, cyricists, the lolthite drow of Ultrinaan, and all the dm controlled hordes of expendables.I miss: many of the places that got taken out due to dm events like the Tropical island and Khem and Djedit, the Kohl manner, the old Fomorian tunnels in Amia forest, Actand hunting grounds, and Uhm. I still have a key to the old Sanctuary of sin from the underground area in Cordor. But I understand that things had to evolve in time and change. I just wish new quests were made to replace the ones that were lost from those areas. Being able to level a peaceful character through job system so that there was an alternitive role play as opposed to fighting and grinding. Devcrit being one hit death!!! I know it was abused in pvp but hell it made PVE so much faster and more chaotic fun for a barbarian character. All the DMs of Amia past that helped put together awesome events! People actually USING the party advertiser! And finally people playing villains and not being forced to play down how evil they are because other players are to over sensitive that they just cant have fun with someone else being more powerful than their character. I miss the Horseman of the apocalypse, the banites, Cyricists, and hilarious Loviatarians. People who could play evil without having to break server rules. |
