The Dhung Iron Guard had a tight grip on the flow of their grown grown iron around that tiny island, and would kill to keep it so. :lol:

And the soon to follow entire island genocide... because in the old days, two people with sabres could wipe out an entire town in less than an hour because we didn't get tired back then.

Wow I didn't see my own mistake until you quoted me haha. I meant to say Ground Grown!

..When there were no Stone Knights, Silver Knights or Blackrocks.

I want to scream - about their accomplishments but then my character doesn't know this and it is SO SO frustrating.


When a character sleeps for over ten years or longer holding the keys to the town, people tend to resent them and think of them as dead already. A funeral at the point of actual death is an anti-climax. If you want a great funeral, be great, don't sleep!

Sorry, way off topic.

Lost one of my early characters in that genocide.

Lost several in the Blojt massacre as well. It was much harder to keep characters separate back then, when four of my first fifteen characters spawned in Quillanoi...

When a Stone Knight was a character you didn't mess with lightly.

When running a town doesn't seem that much after you've done 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 .....

When you remember the Alexian Empire trying to continue as normal, like it's good ol' Lad era, even when its name ceased to cause anything like alarm.

Good times with the Stone Knights and in Lad.

....when you know who Sho is.

Sho!

When you remember the old Cantr Radio Station.

I remember once they said they were passing by the city next to mine...

When you remember beating dead bodies....

I remember being told we weren't supposed to do that. Fun while it lasted, for training.

Actually, I am wrong. Maynard Leeward was the emperor of the Krif Empire. It was Craktar that was the infamous Vampire.

I know a lot about this just from the many notes. This is the advantage of having a character who collects notes. So keep in mind, there's at least one person who might be reading your forgotten notes. :wink:

My oldest ones are 112.


Oh yeah, with how old AJ would be by now, Jaina must be super old. :P

My 7 oldest (alive) characters spawned on the same day, and they're 98. Every Cantr death, at least for an older character, kind of emotionally scars me. :cry:

When your "young/new" character is older than 50.

The Hawks

Carrots were eaten at 40 grams a day. (I almost had a character die while sailing because of the change. Over 90% starved)

You can consider yourself an old timer to Cantr when you remember who Purple Tortoise was, what she did, and how it changed the game (the mass discovery that dragging oneself keeps others from dragging you)...


I was there for that.

Armulus, how much time was there between you applying for your Cantr account and your forum account?

The forum account indicates we are contemporary... :)

I'm not sure how much time difference, but I can say this. My first character is still alive, and he is 122.
