No idea who you are. Reddmedic was the first rank 8/9/10 defiler on gladden and then xferred to Meneldor. I haven't played in well over a year and a half and just stumbled across this thread while checking out the update.
**Happy with my sig now?

my bad, people went over to other servers only to come back, none of my business anyways, I started PvMPing around a month before RoI if I remember. maybe you farmed maybe you didnt, not my business,dont know who you are either :).
I do not know. I just remember rolling my defiler the same time as cheers and he ranked A LOT faster than i did. I was 2nd to him until he quit playing which was probably around rank 6. I got all of my rank in SOTW groups and Soldiers of DG after that with the Call to Arms folks. Got him to 10 and retired him as i was done. Xferring him to Meneldor was a waste of $$$, never played him over there either.
Back on topic...
Speaking of farmers, what happened to Carregkeenan(sp?)? He was probably the most fail player/farmer on Gladden.
Also, if Tarvin is being mentioned, you have to include Mariuss/Nazgrel. Their hate towards each other was epic.
To clear up the "farming" that Reddmedic did, which I thought was slightly asinine to begin with you bringing it up Vic, but mistakes happen, I believe the defiler ur thinking about was Cheerz, who I mentioned already. He got rank 7 in a week when defilers came out, then you didnt see him again, so yes, he most likely farmed, but not Redd. Me, Black, and Urg will get to this stuff when we can, thx for suggestions for the wiki! Sorry again, Redd, I had my doubts u farmed, knew it wasn't true.
That's the beauty of the wiki tho, to bring up truths and fix mistakes :)!
Cheerz didn't farm. I always looked up to Trix, and he's the only player I can actually say was my inspiration of becoming a burg. He played defiler 24/7 when it came out. Honestly, every time the raid came in to zerg me at a rez circle or something, he was always there.
Carreg is Worgnakh's little lackey on E now. He renames his toons quite frequently so not sure what his names are over there. Pretty sure his reaver is still named Thugglife thought it may have since changed after I left E. Last name I remember his champ having was Aristides. I think he renamed since then also. He sometimes plays his warg on this server, Thekoolaidman or something or that sort.
There was certainly a r6 defiler in the first week or two of the class's creation that farmed... because myself and Kalib (=/) caught them farming. I can't recall the name. I thought it was Redd but I was mistaken. I guess the name will be lost in the annals of history.
Did you also look up to him because of his farming ;)? Idk, he got rank 7 in the first week on a defiler back when rank was still relatively hard to get (obv not as hard as prebk12). In that span, I hardly saw him at all that week, and then randomly, a rank 7 defiler appears with a good amount of stars. This is all suspicious speculation of course, may never know nor do I care really, was just trying to clear it up because I knew in my gut Redd didn't farm. He wasn't that great on burg anyway 1v1 wise, good ganker and star hugger, but other than that, mediocre at best. All I remember him for is ganking hh with npcs on me constantly and nothing else. I learned a long time ago not to respect vets in this game simply because they are vets.
I'm still willing to say its Cheerz, but it's all suspicious speculation of course like I just said, as long as you could clearly remember/had screenies.
I agree....he/she was running with Abom and few others, earned his red ring within a few hours of logging on. I posted a screen shot of a Guard with no armor equipped running in and dieing repeatedly.....for the life of me I can't remember the name of the creep. Might have the screeny on my old computer or photobucket account...let me poke around and see what I can find.
I'm going to go lay down on the railroad tracks after I find it....Vic and I acutally agree on something ;P

I guess you're right. He wasn't the greatest burg, but he knew how to survive.
Now that I think about it, I guess you're right. Trix did rank pretty fast. I thought that defilers came out with bk 12? Wasn't bk 12 the book that changed raid pvp? That was when every thing was kind of bugged. I remember when every thing was so screwed up that people would lose over 100 rating per raid death. The renown gain was just absolutely insane. I'm not defending him or anything, I just remember going from 1.970 to 1.689 in one death from Genbu's zerg.
They fixed it the next book, I think, but it was pretty bad for awhile. Trix was a smart player. Whether he farmed or not, he still deserves respect. LIKE ME! jk but not really
Book 13 was defilers. Even with the renown/inf gain from raids, 94.5k (old rank 7 I believe? my good memory ftw) in a week on a defiler, even in a raid? We had great action then, but I don't think we had that much action for ren/inf gain in a week. Wish we could see that aklouie list for his inf gain; I remember ppl said that he was farming back then because the strange amount he got in a time where it would be fitting for him to farm (to see how strong a rank 7 defiler was prob) he got per day, but we don't have proof. I know he didn't farm on burg or spider, but maybe his defiler. So that's where my suspicion creeps in. I guess we will have to wait for Valistar's screenies if he has any (if were lucky, he tied himself to a railroad track already). Like I said, I don't really care, but just wanted to clear Redd's name at the least, that I care about; don't like to see a good player get slandered falsely. That's prolly the first time you said I was right in a long time without the denial :D!
So far no luck finding the screenie, waiting to hear back from admin to see if they can reset my old photobucket account...it'll be there if they can send to my new email address.
Keep in mind Freeps had 10 new levels to work through so the defiler in question (i think its cheerz) leveled to Rank 6 during a time when there would have been little or no action in the moors.

So Genbu told me about this thread, it's pretty crazy how people are still talking about what we did as Creeps on this server.
I'm going to contribute my story to this and tell everyone how it all happened from my vantage point. I think Genbu is going to do the same.
Gladden, no thanks are neccessary for reviving pvp with this thread ^.
Great thread Vinner! Brings back lots of good memories.
Someone should volunteer to do a write up of Vinner. He absolutely deserves one. Also, Red definitely did not farm.
edit, sorry did not see Vinners at first look.
Now that I think about it, Cheerz didn't hit Rank 7. He hit rank 5 or 6, which was probably possible in such short time in those days. I do remember trying to keep up with him in rank at first but he went way ahead of me. Every time I was online, so was he (not farming). I was the first to 7 as I remember being the first defiler to use the big defiler armor debuff curse (can't remember the name).
I along with my good friend Pikmantoo will have one for Vinner in due time. Saving the best for last. Genbu/Aeons, please send links if you can to any other misc. videos or SS you have. Either through the wiki message board or link them here. I used a few of your old Kalib ones so far.
Hmmm, you sure Redd? I swear I remember seeing Cheerz get rank 7 in a week, saw him have rank 7, but then he just vanished outta the blue, most likely cuz he farmed. Also, I love how no one is defending Cheerz's farming but Redd's not farming lol, that's great :D!
Edit: If you look up Cheerz, you can't even find anymore, prob deleted cuz of farming.
Don't forget to thank Urgbuz (made posts about ppl, such as myself) and Blackhaert (he made the wiki) for their contributions! Thx, least someone finally brought up an idea to include me, jeez :P, be nice to get some recognition since I made the thread and all lol. I had to playfully plead cry to urg about it lol, yet cry nonetheless...nobody loved me :( hehe.
Don't forget to make donations to keep the wiki up and running. Our seed they shall not impede for our world renown to succeed indeed! You need to donate so we can have some "rich history" ;)! Maybe if this thread is exposed enough, Turbine will start caring more about pvp cuz they will see what it does to a community!
Wow. Azareth, Redd, Braelob and 1/2 of the twins in the same thread, years after their disappearances. Maybe you should all come back.

Edit: Nvm, you already found those. Also, look at how horrid all the old effect icons were haha.
