I remember before the Stoncutter's ever had the forest, when only a few people lived there, it was one of my characters controlling it before he decided to attack Olip and the king.

HoH:
Alas, I'm on my way to becoming the youngest oldbie (I hope)!!


I'm next :lol:
My first two characters died within a few Cantr years. I think there's only been 3 now...anyway, even though all you guys are a lot older, there's still a bunch of people younger than me. Other than the very populated towns, my characters are some of the oldest. My oldest now is 38 and 40s are kind of mid-aged.

And now I know why everyone was talking about the hunting bow before. :lol: I've never seen one.

I remember...

Day 353 (I'm almost positive that is when I started my account, although it had timed out once)

Working for Mailey Yumm.

When people were amazed to see people who were in their fourties.

The Cantr Timewarp in the 500s. (That was not a fun time)

The First Presidential Election of Quillinoi (and all the bickering that plagued the city after that, me being one of the chief contributers)

You know you're oldy in Cantr when....

-You begin calling anyone younger than you 'lad'

-There's a hint of arrogance for twenty-year-olds in your voice

-You're so overburdened with tools and weapons that when you transport objects from building to building it ends up taking you half an hour in real life

-Twenty-year-olds are mentally seperated from you, and when you say something they cling on to every word

When you have so many keys that you don't know what they go to anymore, if they the lock they do go to is still intact, there are so many in your inventory that its a pain for the page to load and then to wait to scroll down to your tools, and the sheer weight of carrying them is almost 1000 grams.

Hah!

I Worked for Donna Trent :wink:

Seeing the death of Maily Yumm.

Seeing Cracktar emerge from his lair to collect some *juicy* victims.

Being told off by Alexi Romanov for breaking Lad. Imperial Law.

You know you're an oldbie in Cantr when you produced one of the first three buildings in Quil, Naron, and Pok...

Or when you sign up for a new account after losing the one you've had for years and going, 'FIVE digit account numbers?!'

Or when you lived in Naron but never saw Lad as anything other than a forest on your border.

Or when you remember the quote,
"I heard there are wolves in the forest, or that people simply disappear into thin air..."
"What are wolves?"
"Oh, everyone knows that wolves are cute little creatures that tuck you in at night...But what's air?"

lol, nice quote.

There's was another Donna? I recognize that name though. I didn't know that when I created mine. I'm definitely not an oldbie in Cantr compared to you guys but my chars are almost 40. :D
