Ah history!
We had a different value system then. We always admire those who succed. Before (back a couple years), there was a very clear line between ubers and the rest. MA blatently favored ubers back then so everybody wanted to be one (uber) and looked up to people who was uber. Today with (L) and lower lvl maxed toys this distinction has dissapeared.
Alot of ubers playing today has lost abit of their fame status due to noobs being able to do stuff only they could do back then.
There are alot of avatars connected with succes, we all admire them for obvious reasons. There are so many to list.
Others have left their mark for unique actions. The tt´d ul amp, the "give me back my ul korrs" (before they where introduced) and the "someone stole my hat!", the buyer who bought an ul oa-103 for tt+20 ped, the fapper who traded his adj fap for the fap fee (he got it back), are on the top of my mind.
Some amazing loots that poped over the years have avatars connected with those, 2 many to count. That they shared on the forum is what makes them special to me
.
This forum has brought together alot of people and some of them really leave an impression for their quirkiness?
Ratex made all the new miners belive that one should drop bombs in a spiral to get good loot
Legion who made people belive that perception skill gains ment that you had an uber loot near. He hinted he knew this due to working at MA for a time. Lets just say alot of people suddenly started paying extra attention to skillgains *rofl*
There are many, many more.
There is even 2 subcatergorys not mentioned,
Extremly good forum threads, (check each subforum and list them by their views/replys and you will find a ton of treasure)
Funny/Epic MA moments and persons, My favorite is Marco ofc and the funniest moment was when MA botched a server restart and snables started dropping imp2780 I belive. Even funnier was when all the ubers switched from CP/SEG´s and other uber creaters and came to Port Atlantis with the noobs to hunt snables xD. The ubers coming forward in hard waves with the best equip ingame and killing young snables. That was just epic.
Now, the real Heroes!
All the people who have contributed to the knowledge of the game and ingame mechanics and made it easier for all the noobs who came after them. Their achivements are so many and in so many areas that they are impossible to list.
If you feel you made a contribution over the years that helped the rest of us progress then you are definatly in this catergory, a HERO/HEROINES!
ahhhhh I forgot.. my greatest achievement in recent years is to raise the MA special settings that give me constant loss of about five years.
