Hi there,
I used to play Utopia some 10 years ago. Old players maybe remember "Prince Vlad" aka "Vlahul". Used to play under GLORY kingdom, warring kingdom.
I already found a top 20 active warring kingdom were we need to fill some spots for the next age, when we plan to bring back old glory to GLORY :).
Well, you obviously a roro like the Vlad I knew. But he was just Vlad from Bucharesti. And it was long time ago. ;)
Edit: He VladRO, you Vlahul from Surion. Hahaha Glory of Surion. I remember. Welcome back!
I remember Glory of Surion, was it not an elf kingdom?
almost thought the vlahul that i exposed a bunch of years back came back!
welcome back Vlahul
thanks guys :)
Nice to see you around Anri, long time memories. Sorry for the other nicknames, can't remember.
I landed in a mediocre war kingdom, right OOP went to war, won it and joined an invitation into Warlords where I currently am. Sadly - as normally, people have views and contradictions over tactics:). So I've decided to move on and build a getto from scratches.
Yes, we used to play "that elf kingdom" haha, this could work now also!
****
I have decided to build a kingdom from scratches, so if you have any advice/recommendations, please share. All I ask is 5 active players to start with.
@ Perv: VladRO is still good IRL friend with me, we meet constantly (like monthly) and keep in touch. He now plays World of |Tanks and is CEO on a huge multinational.
ya man nice to see you again! I remember a few tricks you had up your sleeves.
I always liked how you think outside the box and try new things, some things very successfully.
Best of luck when you find a few players you need to get started! It should get fun!
You mean like the time x-logged 6 provinces and tried to convince the devs that he shouldn't be deleted because he paid for sitting?Quote:

Hehehe, nice Vlahul. You roros were joy to play though the cheating, xlog and scripting... But, Palem, come on, the times were like that. Everyone was cheating. Xlogging 6 pvs wasnt even something special. :p
Hi Palem, thanks for the welcome! - can't remember the user/password/email I have used. If you can help at least with the email so I can retrieve is much appreciated.
Simians! now i remember Anri even better. I used to won wars very easy for ages, but with Simians I got a very very hard war win as far as I record. It is one of the few names I recall :). Simians still alive? That would make you quite a legendary kingdom with so many ages behind.
I did x-logged, who did not do it back in those days? I was buying proxies from Germany and Russia to look legit. However - I am REALLY honest when saying that my triple crown deletion was for nothing! At that point I had 20 active players in kingdom and really did not made any xlog in that age. Our mirc channel was full. Moreover, as I found again on UT that deletion article - it got nostalgic, haha.
PS: i never x-loged 6 provinces personally, most I did was 3 and my co-monarch a couple also.
I never ever did scripting, in fact I am totally ignorant towards IT...know nothing about it. So did my old kd mates. I got once or twice scripted provinces offered by some dudes.... I took them, of course - who would not? But they keep getting deleted so I never scripted and neither used scripted provinces (the few times I received the logins got deleted pretty fast).
****
Anyway, today's utopia is fantastic. Looks awesome that I can pay for 10 provinces to babysit during war time. No more "cheating" problems, right? :)
Anri, you are Svensk, right? I remember a high swedish community for Simians, or am I wrong?
I am! We had 8 swedes in the KD for a while, 13 scandinavians total. But the nubwegians and danes don't really count!Quote:

After sitting was implemented x-logging was exceptionally frowned upon by the community. Even in the days that it was more common, it was still considered pretty lame by most people. It wasn't even remotely viewed the same as trading.Quote:

it looks so impressive for me to see players I used to interract with 10 years ago...STILL PLAYING! Full respect :)
Palem, I've quit Utopia right the next age after Mehul sold it to some strange guys. They introduced sitting exactly when I left.... So - yes, I did x-logged but only played the first age after Mehul left, I did not got the chance to play during "the credits age with babysitting".
So I could have not x-logged while babysitting was introduced. I think i tried to come back once in 2009 or so, but I gave up since the number of players was pretty low.
seems to be from September 2009, when I had the attempt to return.
I've quit in 2006, I remember this pretty well. Tried to return and build a kd in around 2009 - using credits. Can't remember much of the story after, reading now your link :)
Seems to me that I got a wrong deletion...than reinstated, than I quit :)) haha. Can't remember much, but I think it was a chat I had with Sean and other developers...they got me some invitations and so I've made the kingdom. We got top and deletions followed....probably by some employee or a script, who knows?
Got reinstanted as a prince and quit after.
Really complicated times :).
****
I will try to be conclude: I never EVER wanted to xlog or cheat. All I wanted was active players and since I could not always find 25 we did xloged.
Now is not the case anymore, a kingdom can be most efficient with 10 active players and 10 semi-active(regular) - each sitting 1 province for the semi-active during wartime.
I am ready to take it slow, from the scratches, even if it takes 1 full age to find this kind of players.
No worries. Good luck rebuilding :)
ahh this is the same vlahul i got creeper to admit and show proof of xlogging and admitting they were gonna do nothing about it..and giving free invites back and all that. fun times talking to a drunk dev to admit stuff he shouldnt. got banned for proving the proof even! fun times. nice seeing old people coming back..despite the differences then lol
and this lol

you were doing that last time as well as xlogged. basically becomes legal xlogging imo. but hey if its said its allowed then why not right!
The most fun i ever had on utop was when i ran 5 provs. Yes a good % of people did it so Palem dont dramatize m8.

elf/wh ftw ,a friend of mine played in glory from the inet we used to chill @ ,I remember some fun FWs we did haha
its probly going to take you more then 1 age to build a kd ,nof nof ppl around
Some more bells ringing now, already talked to you on irc. :-) Too bad getting 20 provs deleted 9 years ago, I had a kd of 23 provs deleted, of which I was the only player. Best kd ever, but I had 11 proxies with the names www.stoffirules1.com, www.stoffirules2.com, and so on, so I was doomed. Got lazy when managing 30'ish proxies, I had another kd with 7-8 provs too, those I kept and made 2 top 10 killers to hit down abs cow with others some age later. Can't remember what I paid, but it was doable.
You going honor or whoring? Forgot to ask you when we talked. No mirc on my phone atm, I'm not at home this weekend.
thanks guys :) good to see old foes and friends still around, it makes this game unique.
I already got lucky enough to defect into FREE kingdom with Peppie in a middle of a rebuild. We got a good core player teams, very devoted and active.
We are already at 23 provinces all hyper active and communicative. Two will leave when age ends... so only 4 people to find. Lots of sweet talk into kicking some "not good enough" players. We've just won a war also with a 20k honor rape...hell, if this age last 3 more weeks we will be in top 10 honor - after 1 month of playing.
If Stoffi joins, we are 3 short only :).
Expect major impact into UTO next age from FREE aka HEGEMONY :)
lies :D
That's actually very sad... :pQuote:
