Topic: Faldon 1.0

ok, i am a faldon player from when it originally came out.... like 6 years ago? 7? i dont  remember when...
but i remember faldon as the game where u didnt need arrows to shoot, and you could level to level 7 from killing 1 snail, then using a bow and un-naturally shooting 200 arrows per minute and destroying a group of skeletons... then 2.0 came out or whatever version, and it was all desert. with more snails to kill... and now, its different again...
imo, the first version was the best smile
why not bring it back on a different server? that would be fun to play again... when they changed it from the original version, i lost interest... maybe because it wasnt as easy... but still fun smile

Re: Faldon 1.0

I belive that is probably over seven years ago.  I have played this game since 10th,11th, or 12th grade in high school.  Desert Map was already gone by then.  It was Desert, then the one I played, and now this version.  A new version should be coming out within the next year (I have no actual idea on when it will be, but Zer is working on coding on the next version now).

People always like the older versions... The problem with bringing back the older versions is the bugs that were never fixed and will probably not be addressed as well as it taking away from money paid for the newest version.  Faldon is already at a slow point in the number of players playing.  We do not need to lose people who will not play a game that no one else is!  If people cannot chat and trade, there goes the community.

Re: Faldon 1.0

hehe, it actually used early alpha starting, which was getting up into the thousands of levels...   the next revision used the same map, but much more "graphically" updated the ragdolls in the game, then about 3 revisions in that set brought about the desert map, which lasted anotehr 2 revisions, and lastly came what we have now..  which I personally think is one of the oddest builds of the bunch, I liked the old church map myself out of all of them..   nothing like leveling on using the earthquake spell wink

Re: Faldon 1.0

Hell this client has been out for over 6 years and almost 7.. I believe it started in May 2001 I think that is what my closed beta folder says.. I started sometime in early 2000 on the client before this one.. However I know for a fact it predates 2000 =p so you are either completely confused about when you started or you think that this client was the first client.. or some other unexplanable event that I do not wish to discuss because it may make me look a little crazy.

Haha! You are talking about the "Church Map". That was actually, unofficially, Faldon 2.0 I believe. I also first started playing the game back then. I would sit at the snails for hours just collecting gold (I was a newbie smile). After about 1 day's worth of work I'd have about 10,000 gold. big_smile

Good times. I never tried the skelly trick with arrows, however, I was able to fireball em pretty good anyways.

Desert map (unofficially 3.0) was my favorite map. It was fun, always something to do, and the people were the best. There was always something interesting going on in the Desert map. . . those were the days.

Re: Faldon 1.0

I haven't touched this game in a long time.. I started playing way before they even had mining and lumber jacking (or whatever they call it now).  The favorite thing about the Church Map was the fact that you could use Earthquake and kill everything on the map, or at least monsters a great distance away, and gain levels like crazy... I remember when he first implemented the spell to protect you from PvP, before that it was just chaotic... My second character was actually called "Dontkillme", haha, then went to Primedeath after meeting Brimstone/Deathmaster/The-darkness from the old guild of [Heroes of the Realm].... Sigh, such memories... I even pawned some gear off of a friend that became a GM (GM_Darkben).. Heh ^_^..
