It's been a while since I posted, but figured what a better time to bump with all these transfers coming in, you can view some Gladden history!
I wanted to finish off most of the influential wardens now. Also, by Dori's annoying, persistent requests, I added his reaver :P.
Chiknorris has been added to Freeps.
Pathogenic has been added to Freeps.
Deregorn has been added to Freeps.
Optimuss has been added to Creeps.

In all honesty, I dont really know you too well, Ugh. You'd have to ask Swift to update it or someone else. I will however update that you were 2nd rank 14 hunter though.Quote:

I just don't have a thread commemorating the event so some peeps aren't fully aware.
Not that it matters all that much...just keepin' it real. o.O
Dam dude you shoulda told me, congrats! I'll make sure to update it.Quote:

I'm not trying to be a ##### or anything but does it still count if you have transferred off Gladden? Because if we're accepting people that have then Duimegrant should be the the first r15 freep :/
How can it count if the gladden freep didn't rank on Gladden. Just like with Spwit.Quote:

Though ranking is nearly irrelevant now...let's keep things in perspective.Quote:

Shall we also disqualify ranking if you've gained renown while multi-boxing?
Fwiw... I hated BW... and the pvp...and hardly played while I was there...and actually stopped playing Lotro entirely for a time.
I might've gained 20-30k renown on BW...most likely far less than you or Ugh gained using + Infamy/Renown buffs...o.O
By far and away the vast majority of my points (gah...points) have come from straight up solo fights (on my part)...against non-greenie creeps.
Since about rank 10, almost every creep i've seen rank 3 or less has gotten a free pass from me...it is known...(some few hard headed ones wouldn't accept my generosity and persisted in getting themselves killed...lol)
I've never farmed, multi-boxed, exploited, ran with a pocket anything, camped slug pits, or used a + Renown buff...and have always played within the rules of the game...
I've also never suggested, or taken a group into the delving for more worthless point buffs.
If i'd have killed every creep I encountered, or used point buffs lol, I would've made rank 14, and 13 for that matter, long before either of you...
99% solo....
Just sayin'.
My experience to bw was similar to Al's. I remember one day going out with the kin I was in there at the time and making 233 renown trying to be a trio, then getting Roflstomped by the zerg and heal tagged by superfreep and realizing bw moors sucked and I quit. Eventually Gilthonial convinced me to play again and bring my captain back to gladden. I think just about all of us have tested to see if the grass really is greener on the other side, and those who came back realized it may be green, but it's crabgrass
My hunter never left Gladden. End of argument.Quote:

Updated.
Update 17 has been added to the Timeline.
Slaps has been added to Creepside.
Bailiff has been added to Freepside.
I wanted to finish off the ancient warg pack and add Bailiff who was an interesting character. It's been a while since I added anyone, but idk if I'll continue to update really old characters and since I don't play much anymore, especially with the new transfers. Maybe it's time to leave room for the new impacts on the server. I figured it needed an update since it's been a while, though. If people want to provide updates for newer people to the server and their impact, feel free and I'll put them in.
http://gladdenhistory.wikispaces.com/ - signature not appearing to me for some reason, dk how to edit it.
This is the reason:Quote:

I haven't posted on here in a while as I had taken a break from the game, and still am for the foreseeable future.
However, it's been a longggg time since I posted about any players from Gladden's rich, proud history.
So, in the lulls I have at work, I decided to hopefully add to this, and I need your help for people that wish to contribute in keeping our server's memory alive, if not physically, but to have a record of those who deserve mention in engendering the pvp community that made this server special. In this, maybe it can get some of that special nature back!
Idk who really cares about the history of our server these days, but I do, and I feel that I should continue it for those that are interested, and just for my own self-preservation as Gladden's unofficial pvp historian.
Anyway, I just did a tally of Freeps to Creeps, and apparently its 92 Freeps to 63 Creeps that have had records written about them, too many freeps lol. I'm going to try to even it out as much as I can and focus on more creeps for now. I'll make sure to do the proper updates for the Timeline as well so everyone can get a feel of what time each person played/plays.
Updates:
Timeline has been added with Update 18.2.
Creep additions (some very old school names for yall young bucks):
Tarek
I had to give a shoutout to some influential ladies from Creepside, too as it was lacking!
Falinka
Growler
Puddytat
Cojiro has finally been added as well, don't know how I missed him!
Well, enjoy the perusing if you have nothing better to do! Once again, if you have someone you want added, write a description for them, make it creative, or suggest one for me to do (make sure they are someone I know)! Remember, you can also include pictures or videos that contribute to it as well!
pfft No love for Kozzmo the Great?
Bleh, you had Novafett, didnt you :P? Lol miss ya buddyQuote:

How many folks are even left on Gladden? I've not had a chance to log my wargie in in forever (lol you could add Lukiluk in to your history, joshy!), so all I've heard is that it's totally deserted. :( Ark being the pvp server sorta became a self-fulfilling thing, I think... wasn't true when the rumor started but folks transferred and made it true.
Hey dude, officially added your warg lol, took me long enough :P.Quote:

What's important is keeping the history of the great server alive for almost 10 years now.
I've mainly taken a hiatus from this game, but I'd figure I return to update some historical stuff for your viewing pleasure/intrigue if you're interested.
However, as much as I love the history of our pvp and pvpers that were involved, Idk how much longer I'll continue posting about characters new and old. Over the years and due to lack of play time (haven't really consistently played in a couple years), my memory grows foggy. There has been many tales told about many great and not-so-great players and events of our server. Too many to recount unfortunately, but it has been worthwhile for me to keep the ideals of our server alive when this game was at its peak.
Without further ado, here's what I've updated, most of you probably won't know these people, but it's my innate duty to keep whatever semblance of history alive, alive haha :).
Timeline of Osgiliath has been updated to 19.2.
Grogog's rank status as first rank 15 defiler has now been officially changed.
Agentorange's rank status as retainer of rank 15 defiler has been officially noted as such.
Lukiluk has been added to Creeps.
Gas has been added to Creeps.
Zalbag has been added to Creeps.
Mudpie has been added to Creeps.
