Guess the Location!

[Morreion]

OK, post a picture from a game and then others try to guess what game and what area it is. I'll start!

Picture 2:

Is Picture 1 in the Campocorentin Forest?
Is Picture 2 in Avalon Marsh?

That bottom one looks like Morr might have drawn it at his desk this morning with a couple of markers Are you sure those are game screenshots ? Like a game you paid money to play ?? *ancient graphics teasing*

[Morreion]

Kul is the winner! ;D

Picture 1 is the entrance of the Campacorentin Forest (a view from the plains) in Albion, DAoC.

Picture 2 is a picture of Adribard's Retreat in the Avalon Marsh of Albion, DAoC.

*laughs* Jaema, those are precious GIFs from circa 2002, not Microsoft Paint!

Oooh, can I play? Of course, the game will be easy. Probably also the image location. Here it is:

Thanks Sinaedh for the blast from the past!

Ahhhh, memories, memories- that is outside of the Catacombs dungeon in the Cornwall zone of Albion, DAoC. I remember soloing those guards on my Cleric just like you were doing, when they were green they were an easy way to pick up some coin while looking for a group to do a dungeon crawl They were spread out in a circle around the entrance, and you could take them one by one, though occasionally you'd get 2. If you got into trouble, you could run in the dungeon and hang out at the top of the stairs.

I miss the good old days!

Here's a couple more:

What game, what area?

That looks a bit like Vanguard to me ... but the area doesn't look familiar.

[Morreion]

Echo gets half credit - both pictures are from Vanguard!

Anyone want to take a stab at the areas?

Those DAOC screenshots make me want to cry. I can still remember scraping up my first few coins to ride from the Campacorentin Forest to Camelot. OMG. The Salisbury Plains and those freaking giants scared the BeJesus out of me. OH NOES! Don't fall off the pony or you will die!

Here is a DAOC story from right near where one of those screenshots was taken. My scout was going to marry his cleric love on a little lake not far from there. On that day, a little before the wedding, I was moving his "father" - a cleric, over to near where the ceremony was to be, when I see the message "Khallie has died" ... Whut? That's the cleric he was going to wed, but how did she die?

I get closer, and find that she had been up in the top of the tower, rehearsing her words for the wedding, when she took a bad step and fell off the thing. Clerics don't bounce.
