Who else remembers when

@Kal-El

What I remember as being the most rare during EA were the glyph cubes.

I’ve made a few comments to @James if I remember right about bringing them back. I really think we should have the game’s language in blocks. It wouldn’t use too much of the block space to add them. 1 character per face …

[Stretchious]

I wonder how that would be implemented though… different recipe for each character? Forged Transformation Chisel to cycle through all characters (very tedious and probably a little annoying).

[Coolpants]

I could see them functioning like a sign but with only one character space

[FireAngelDth]

Would be bad if they were complex items imo

[Coolpants]

Yeah I suppose that’s a good point. I don’t want anything else counting against the limit…

[PendragonTheNinja]

I remember people finding them on the massive cliffs of Septerfon a good bit.

I’m having some serious dejavu right now

You know why they wiped the EA planets?

[DanBeforeTime]

Ah, Solum. How I miss you…

[Jeffrotheswell]

And my apology for that one! In a perfect universe all those worlds would exist here in the same formation.

@Wichall

So I just tried crafting Alphabet and Glyph bricks for the first time.

Considering the cost of these bricks I was expecting a brilliant Oortian rune, something that I would love to use sparingly in my fort.

I got this

Oortian alphabet blocks? Whaaaaat? @james Can we haz these again plzzzzz

And even maybe regular blocks with characters?

[Buugi]

Who cares about dem block… bring old doors back!

[Jeffrotheswell]

I loved the glyph

I wasn’t around in the early days but just found this

Release: 106 - Bow & Arrow and Ambient Creature Update

New Features: Added our first creature type. These creatures can be found wandering around in the wild and are mostly harmless unless you annoy them. They are using placeholder art and animation for the moment. Added new weapon: Bow and Arrow. Bows can be crafted with Timber and Sticks. Arrows can be crafted with Sticks and Stones. Bows now replace the slingshot and can be fired much long distances. Bows can also be charged up to fire further by holding down the fire button. They can hurt othe…

What happened to bows and arrows?

Also aim assist?

There used to be PvP?

@ian

Bows can also be charged up to fire further by holding down the fire button. They can hurt other players in PvP areas and will also hurt the local wildlife. If you are going to annoy the new local inhabitants you better be ready for the consequences!

My additions to this. I found James once…or to be more accurate he found me while I was searching for the then impossible to find gold. We had a nice chat.

My first time really stopping to take in the incredible beauty of the game.

Someone on my planet managed to find enough gold to get a warp off-world. I believe it was the first time on Vulpto (or any other world) for all of the folks pictured.

@Clexarews

And normal functioning chat

[Ratchel]

He’s like COME AT ME BRO!

[majorvex]

Gyosha mall had almost no portals, was one row of a handful of shops, & had a ceiling made out of ice b/c I had no coin (all of the refined blocks & glass were donated to us)

I don’t remember these things, but it helps to see that the game has come a longggg way:
