I came in right around the Modern Era. :cool:

[Utamaro]

Haha thats great... Moose I never really got along with you. But thats cool....

[Moose]

I call it just getting home after being out with the gf and to hyper to go to sleep ;).

[Match Strike]

I'm an era of sorrow man. And the last two eras overlap almost entirely.

[cs_zero]

I was here for them all....except the birth era, oh well, 7 out of 8 aint bad. :)

[ko71991]

6 out of 8 ain't bad too.

[Moose]

Heh, Being here from the beginning is fun, it's to bad that I couldn't still be in the Golden Era :P.

[ko71991]

Heh, Being here from the beginning is fun, it's to bad that I couldn't still be in the Golden Era :P.
I envy you.

[cs_zero]

Things where alot better then...updates....happy people...the dragon had just hatched...*sigh*

[Tama Drummer]

I would've liked to be here in the "Golden Era."
I came here around when that era was ending...

[Dove]

Modern Era spawned me.

I liked it back then... I don't particularly take a fancy to the trends now.

Good work Moose.

[_Thunder_]

Pwned.

[Hydrant]

birthed

[sooner4life]

I came in about mid golden era, few days after the dragon was born

and lucky me I missed almost all of the era of dispute

[Cavour]

Golden Era represent. :cool:

[monkus]

Hard to tell... I got introduced to the game mid freshmen year, so I guess I got started golden era, but I'm truly a member of the Modern era. I think you should add form archtypes and their predominance to the chart too :bigsmile:

[S_K_O_F]

Golden Era represent!!!

I actually started a grey account on NOV 24, the first day the game was posted on addictinggames.com.

i started my form account on Dec 3 when I figured i would stay awhile and my gold on Dec 15.. I haven't left yet!!!

[Match Strike]

I didn't use the forums until about, oh, 6 months after I started playing in early may. I guess that makes me technically a moderner, not a darky.

[S_K_O_F]

were you under a different name???

your start date is July

[Moose]

Ahh those were the days. :).

[Kyir]

Moderen Era :cool:

[Lordofzrings]

istarted my account 2 days before the Birth era ended, so i am on every era thus far!

[Moose]

If anyone feels that some of the era's should be renamed or changed a lil bit post the suggestions :).

[xerent]

I think you missed an important date.

[Moose]

I think you missed an important date.

If you mean the production process then yes, I just added it in :).

[Spit_101]

Modern era. The times of the furgy. :cool:

[Doctor Love]

I started playing in the modern era as MisterEGamer and then changed my name to Sir Vival in the Golden Era. :cool:

[Office_Shredder]

Modern era here....

Moose, I get the impression that I'm to blame for the Era of sorrows based on the date.... is that true? If so, that would be kick ass :D

[Lordofzrings]

*sigh* soon well have a TAO Bible (ill pitch in if you start one hehe)

[Doctor Love]

Moose if you could scurry up a short reasoning and explanation for each era and why it got it's name it would be nice. But good work either way.

[Glamdring]

It's a good idea Moose, but I think xer's right, and I also think some of the eras are misnamed.

[ck1]

I'm almost the exact same as SKOF.

Except I left.

I'm thinking of coming back though!

[Lordofzrings]

ck1, you never left you just slept through a few eras, like me!

[The Prophet]

There will never be another like the golden era

[Doctor Love]

There will never be another like the golden era
Well duh, with a name like that what could top it, the diamond era?

[Office_Shredder]

the platinum era!

[Doctor Love]

the platinum era!
Maybe.

[The Prophet]

Well duh, with a name like that what could top it, the diamond era?
I was giving an opinion based on my experience, not the name.

[bludhoundz]

Late modern.

[Cuathon]

birth

[Moose]

I'm free and open to review any idea's for the improvement or re-editing the era. So if anyone has any idea's on how to improve the list, please let me know :). Afterall it took me 3 mins to make this very basic era chart.


P.S: Actually the Era of Sorrows was due to Seed and personal affairs.

[KBHoleN1]

W()()t - I started playing the last few days of Birth.

Joined forums during Golden Era though.

Cool thread Moose.

[Snarr]

I call it just getting home after being out with the gf and to hyper to go to sleep ;).

Yoiu know, there are some things you can do with your girfriend to take care of extra energy. ;)

Ehh, he just ran out of paper bags.

You know, their are things called mothers that prevent you from reaching "points of stimulation" that late at night ;).

[razor2007]

Things like this make me sad becasue I was origionally a member during the golden era, but quickly forgot about this game until the Era of possibility. I'm sorry I did thinking about all the cool stuff that ahs happened in between these times. I as wondering if you could tell me why you named each era its given name (I realize some are self-explanitory).

[Moose]

Well, I think it's safe to say that theres a new Era about, because things just get more complex everyday :p.

[HWolf]

Today is the Era of the War of the Brothers.

[Moose]

Nah, FPS and FP are invading each other, I think Invasion stands out best.

[Quartz]

Nah, FPS and FP are invading each other, I think Invasion stands out best.

Rotten family reunion?

[Hatchet Warrior]

yea, thats it. Fps has the better chance cause we at least have alot of active members.

[Moose]

A new era has been added!

[tony887]

i came in just as the golden era was ending. man thats been a while

[Wizzy`]

I've been here Since '03...I was the biggest n00b you could find, but I was still here.. :bigsmile:

[Moose]

I've been here Since '03...I was the biggest n00b you could find, but I was still here.. :bigsmile:

You still are ;)

jk.

[Wizzy`]

You still are ;)

jk.

Yeah.. Wizzy is t3h n00bz0r!

[mushroom_girl]

Oct 29th 2003 to Nov 25 2003: The Era of Birth

November 25 is my birthday!

Interesting, Moose. Glad to be from the Golden Era! :)

[uniquinous]

which era started this stats system? i'm trying to get my bearings from pre and post "Win Lose Draw" stats.

[Swartzstrom]

July 27 2005 to September 14 2005: The Era of Invasion

Yeah, right! Dude, that's on my birthday!

[Jeffery]

Your birthday is 6 weeks long????

Man, your mother must have been tired afterwards....

[Wizzy`]

Nov 26th 2003 to Dec 31 2003: The Golden Era


I think the Golden Era was the best, not just because there werent all noobs flooding the servers, but, because BG, SI, Netjak, and OUTKAST were still there... (Of course they are all still here) But I mean..just starting out...
And pwning all!


Your birthday is 6 weeks long????

Man, your mother must have been tired afterwards....

BBBBUUURRNNNN

[Swartzstrom]

Your birthday is 6 weeks long????

Man, your mother must have been tired afterwards....

No, it started on my birthday, I meant...

[Hellblazer]

I came in around the era of sorrow.

[uniquinous]

Anyone? I think I came in at the Golden Age, but I'm unsure. What events split these eras?

[Merdoc.]

I cam around the era of birth

[Megabyte]

Your birthday is 6 weeks long????

Man, your mother must have been tired afterwards....

I dunno why, but I just cracked up when I read that. :D

[Moose]

The golden era is probably my favorite, it was fun as well with the original six clans of TAO flurshing.

[Swartzstrom]

Oct 29th 2003 to Nov 25 2003: The Era of Birth

That's when I came to the game. Didn't come to Forums 'till a bit later.

[Popa Midnight]

I came during the Golden era...

Those were the days... no cyberers,no spam... ahhhhh
Never more than 25 ppl in the lobby... Those were the days!

[emerald slasher]

birthed 8)

[Dromar]

I was here at birth, but missed a lot of those eras. :S

[Wizzy`]

Trust me, your lucky ;)

[camolots_guardi]

I came along in the "golden era"

[Coffin Fedder]

I nominate it for Best Thread in the 2008 TAO Awards

[Sodamoeba]

What era are we in? The only Era I can remember is the "AK is number 1 on GL" era. I've been blocking everything else out since that one ended. ;)

[nads]

I agree with the golden era. Was the era of sorrow the introduction of the DSM? I'll never forget the first time I met a dsm on the front row. Ever since that day, it has been the era of not wanting to play as much anymore.

[Megabyte]

Whatever, we all know it all went downhill once byte stepped out of the active game realm and DF died out.

[Sodamoeba]

I've been around for so long and I still don't know ANYTHING about Bushido Gaiden, the Golden Era, and I don't know what DF is -_-

[steve12]

If you don't remember BG, and you played on GL, you are missing something huge.

[Swift]

Lord Achilles led BG right? Wow that would have been a fun clan.

DF was Dragonfire or something like that if I remember right. On Army?

[Jeffery]

Quite simply, BG was a large clan that dies.

end of story.

[Sodamoeba]

Quite simply, BG was a large clan that dies.

end of story.

Yeah that's all I knew about it. Well kthx :)

[Megabyte]

I've been around for so long and I still don't know ANYTHING about Bushido Gaiden, the Golden Era, and I don't know what DF is -_-

then apparently you haven't been around so long

[Sodamoeba]

Since the Era of Sorrow ;)

[Wizzy`]

I'll never forget the first time I met a dsm on the front row. Ever since that day, it has been the era of not wanting to play as much anymore.

:lol:
