I recently opened up my screenshots folder, I have stuff in there from early 2009 onwards. Unfortunately 2008 - 2009 stuff is gone for some reason.

Lots of really old mabinogi nostalgia in there, so post your own as well.

Oldschool advanced play interface where you actually had a good item a few times a week, or a choice of random.

The first treasure chest event in Iria, this is one of the rarest items I got from it.

Remember when people actually had to wait at mana tunnels/moon gates?

People (including me) running the fuck away from what is probably the first DD we ever met.

My epic skill ranks. These days you can just use a hero card and get better than this.

Back when Nakama actually was a guild and not just extra text over my name.

This is how people used to earn money.

Fishing used to be a social thing. Trying to get them gargoyle swords to sell for a massive 80k or so.

Remember when pierrick used to run around dougald isle, selling MP 300's? They should bring that shit back now that I actually could use some 300's.

Don't remember if this was an event or a hacker, either way it was entertaining.

One thing that I find interesting is that it actually looks like my character has...grown up. I didn't do it on purpose, but that's what it looks like. Kinda like he's grown up with me all these years. [S]that sounds lame and cheesy[/S]
For example, here's the first screenshot I have of him, back from 2009.

That's about it as far as old screenshots go. I never really take a lot of pictures.

I remember that raft event. It annoyed me because rafting was my favorite thing to do and I couldn't do it during the event.
Shizuo wrote on 2015-02-14 18:55

Aww. I thought it was pretty fun! I kinda hope they bring it back.

The first screenshot I took features my elf, but that doesn't qualify here because it's only three years old and when I look at it I feel a PTSD attack, not nostalgia.

Anyone else want that Capture the Flag on dugald aisle Event Back?

It was my favorite ;-;
I loved it and it was fun as hell [S]Despite all the FH, Adv Magic, Range, B-Bombs[/S]

Mannn I remember that treasure chest event. People were scrambling for marked maps so hard. Then the event ended and players still ran around to the marked spots wondering why they weren't getting tons of free ego food...

Waiting at the gates was part of the reason I stopped playing for a while.

Skeleton scrolls can still be good... the thing is that Albey Red Gem is kind of out of the way without a Warp Imp, and doll bags won't pick the scrolls up.

Anyways I don't have stuff going back to when I first started 'cause I've moved setups and machines a few times since then... the oldest screenshot I still have is from September 8th, 2011.

[Image: http://i.imgur.com/bXCxzjYm.jpg]

A few days after that I made a video on basic magic+melee tactics, pre-genesis.

Such low-quality though.

Here's the old Iria map.

[Image: http://i.imgur.com/YkNPvPdm.jpg]

Back when server issues gave people scares on the character select screen...

[Image: http://i.imgur.com/ZC9WBAZm.jpg]

First time meeting a certain person you all know!

Titles being reversed and coming before the name...

They finally managed to stop un-translating Austeyn nowadays.

See, this is the kind of oldschool fun that Dunbarton used to-

[Image: http://i.imgur.com/ZESSt5qm.jpg]

Oh no wait, people still do this.

People actually had shops in Cobh? I totally forgot about that.

Falcon done for my best friend.

On the hunt for field bosses (are people even caring about them now...?)
(For newer people here, if you had the guts to get close to them to the point of aggroing one, you had balls. If you attacked one, you were a god. If you killed one.... Well that was nearly impossible back then...)

[Image: http://puu.sh/g3pje.jpg]

Apparently rarest field boss (wasn't my last).

[Image: http://puu.sh/g3plT.jpg]

Probably the most beautiful screenshot I ever took.

[Image: http://puu.sh/g3pmA.jpg]

Remember this graphical glitch :D?

[Image: http://puu.sh/g3poY.jpg]

Yes, I tried to attack it. Yes, I regretted it. Yes, I got the title from one of those.

[Image: http://puu.sh/g3pr5.jpg]

It did die, but it took like... A good 45 minutes and roughly 100 people. Intense...

[Image: http://puu.sh/g3psD.jpg]

Flacon Sage people had so much respect...

All falcons but sage. They're both IRL friends, good times, good times.

I stepped on some screenshots where I spoke with other people. Holy crap my English was bad. Like really bad, it's not my first language. I'm too ashamed to show one. Thanks to this game I'm quite fluent. Maybe not perfectly, but I'm happy with it.

This is the oldest video/picture I have of my character. I started playing towards the end of G7.

My character looks radically different now.
