The interface did leave a lot to be desired...
Content wise, it was pretty damn awesome, though. It was a wide open world that could accommodate you regardless of the pace you wanted to go. Unlike EQ (that came out a bit before AC and about a year after UO), you did feel weaker with each passing level, which was also great. Still, I chose EQ over AC (most of the time) back in the day because I started with it and I hated the AC interface.

That's the only one I still have.
iirc, that was about a year after they changed the graphic on that robe. I never took it off, so it never changed. Hadn't seen anyone else on Leafcull with an original skin robe at that point for 6 months or so.

Oh Good Ol AC My first character Trevaylenne was a disaster ad I rerolled and chose the name Trevaylenne Duece, misspelled on purpose.UA with magicD spec'd. Didn't know at the time but my patron and mentor was gearing me towards PK. This was back when Pyreals and magic components had weight. I was on WE. I dueled Cursed Ninja, Sweet Mary, Azor, Paragon, Son of God and the like. The last three were friends of mine the first two were fun to be had.
At one point I was had two accounts. This was right before monkey island was created I wanted to have a few other characters and Trev was the man to help. When Tuskee caves were great for leveling I'd team with Cutt, Overslept and a few other friends. One day Sweet Mary came a calling claiming we were all UMCing. I used Trev to buff my all but kept him logged out for the most part.
Sweet Mary came calling and I used Trev to stab her in the back. Alt Tabbing Back to my main at the time to kill monkies. She still probably to this day swore that I was UCMing and refuses to believe that someone was good enough to PK her and play another character at the same time. So much so she came back three more times that night. I was stationed near the beginning of the dungeon and she never made it past me.
Plus Sarena knows me as Chicken Hat.

I always thought (up until the 2000's anyway) that AC's art direction made up for the poor graphics. I'm not a art person so my vocabulary is failing me, but despite having these poor tools to work with devs made every place in the game with an amazing attention to detail (that NPC not withstanding, lol). I really liked the mix of the three culture's medieval architecture and Dereth's high-fantasy-but-not-over-the-top style also. EQ graphics always struck me as too bright and goofy, their attempts at epic set pieces transparent and immersion-breaking.

I always thought (up until the 2000's anyway) that AC's art direction made up for the poor graphics. I'm not a art person so my vocabulary is failing me, but despite having these poor tools to work with devs made every place in the game with an amazing attention to detail (that NPC not withstanding, lol). I really liked the mix of the three culture's medieval architecture and Dereth's high-fantasy-but-not-over-the-top style also. EQ graphics always struck me as too bright and goofy, their attempts at epic set pieces transparent and immersion-breaking.
Up until the 2000s? So... a year after its release?

I meant like the mid 2000's, around when they upgraded the graphics in throne of destiny... the upgrade wasn't nearly enough. Daoc was what, 2002? I thought they did the same kind of thing. Good art direction with poor graphics.

That's the only one I still have.
iirc, that was about a year after they changed the graphic on that robe. I never took it off, so it never changed. Hadn't seen anyone else on Leafcull with an original skin robe at that point for 6 months or so.
they brought it back and now everyone can get it

first one is me in Greenspire (I think that's where that tower is) on the island after the patch where they left a glitch in the game with fletching/alchemy tables (that were used for decoration in houses) that let you use them like stairs into the sky. Had to swap pics, other one had some language in it that the guy got banned for a few minutes after I took the SS iirc.
this is one of the SS's from an old hard drive that had a few left from my brother's account on frostfell (He was Crosshair/Crosshairy) and I picked out the one with Hellhawk in it cuz I figured someone would at least know that name...and it has a date on it (feb 6 2000 it looks like).

I'd like to correct that. It was only me griefing you AND n00b. Don't tarnish my wife's impeccable reputation!
Is there anyone you didn't grief?

This is sad, but sometimes when I'm sitting in traffic, I dream that I had the zoom out ability that AC did to get a real time view of the area from above.
