Old Websites

Posted by PunkBuster, 14 April 2014 · 1273 views

Avalon has been up for over 10 years already. In that meantime, we've
had many websites, and the old players will certainly remember it. Take a
minute to take a time travel journey over our server's history:

Our current website, on February 2nd, 2011:

http://web.archive.o...w.avalonro.net/


----------------

Our old website, still under the excalibur-ro.com domain. September 24th, 2010:

http://web.archive.o...calibur-ro.com/

Same website, on February 4th, 2009:

http://web.archive.o...alibur-ro.com/?

Check out the About Us page, the Staff page, and Server Info page. The screenshots are also worth looking at.

---------------

Next,
the website that came before that one. Most ancient players are from
around this time, and the poring sounds will certainly be nostalgic for
them.

April 6th, 2007:

http://web.archive.o...calibur-ro.com/

Once again, check the staff page. I don't even know half of those people. I don't even recall us having a Lineage server.

Same website, on July 18th, 2006:

http://web.archive.o...alibur-ro.com/?

At this point, we still had AvalonRO 1, and the old Hall of Fame was there.

http://web.archive.o...m/ladder_avro2/

Now take a look at those guilds: The Pixel Army, TianXia, pirati di avalon, Zoro Pirates, Innocence, Dragon Spirits, Islanders.

And
the player names: Tiny Turtle, Flippin, Elkenver, Godlike//KO, Sekryu,
Dice, Kumopuff, eLude, Aizen, Walle, 187 Soldier, Reckless Intent,
Farome, Ukiko.

------------------------

Next stop: May 30th, 2006:

http://web.archive.o...calibur-ro.com/

The max stats were lower, and the rates too.

----------------------

Had enough? It's not over yet. The ride never ends, at least not for when we look back into the past:

February 18th, 2006:

http://web.archive.o...forum/index.php

This was under the forum domain, so it wasn't even properly a website.

At long last, we are excited to announce that we will be launching this Lineage II server for real, on February 5th, 2006.


Once again, I don't even remember this. And who is bill?

Taking a quick look at that news feed, you quickly realize how far back we've gone. It's about AvRO2's beta testing.

-------------------------

We're almost there. Currently on November 24th, 2005:

http://web.archive.o...calibur-ro.com/

Nothing much to see here, except the fact we sold t-shirts at that time.

--------------------------

Finally, we've gone as far as the archive has us saved: September 30th, 2005:

http://web.archive.o...calibur-ro.com/

I almost refuse to believe this website is ours. The header says we are -=Excalibur Ragnarok Online Server=-, and the newsfeed is nothing except bad news about the server being hacked or having rollbacks and lags. I stopped recalling the GM names somewhere in 2008, so don't ask me.

---------------------------

I really wish I had a video of the short intro video that played when you opened the client, that used to be there back in 2006 or 2007. The older players might recall it, with the novice called Kyuro.

That's all for now. If you *somehow* got that intro video, please contact me.
