To all members of AD, past and present:
I had a hard drive crash in 2005 that cost me 3 years of screenshots and other EQ memories.
I'm going to be putting together a bit of an AD history. It might take a few weeks, a few months, or a few years. I have no idea.
What I would like is that if you have any decent old screenshots from the origin of AD up through current day that have clear shots of us fighting a mob, or very representative statements in chat that defines us, or just of 1 or more members in any setting, that you do the following.
1. If it's a large bitmap, turn it into a jpeg and zip it up.
2. If its not too large, just zip it up.
Then do me a favor and PM me for my email address. I will reply and then send them to me. I don't care if I get 3000 of the things. The more the better.
I know it's a lot of bother, but for those of you old AD or current AD that have these things, it would save me a ton of effort and help me out a great deal. And it would be very nice to hear from the old timers again for no other reason than to just say "hi, we remember you."
When and if it's ever completed, it will be as good as you help me make it.
Lastly, I would ask if you know where any other old AD are, that you let them know about this. I'm sure many have long ago forgotten this game, but EQ will still be a strong memory for most.
Maybe strong enough to help me out.

Thus far, I've gotten zero response.
Let me try again.
PLEASE take the 30 minutes to 1 hour to go through your old screenshots for very good images and ANY images from 2002-2004. Especially those with a few recognizeable names.
I would REALLY appreciate this. |

Just stumbled upon the AD site again. I seem to pop in every couple months. I just saw this post... Cool idea. I've been through so many hard drives since the AD days, but I did manage to locate a DVD with some old screenshots.
There's some old AoW, PoP... I used to have a ton, but a lot have been lost through the years. I remember having some nice Severilous kiting shots, back with Ciliem and Yamile... Let's see what I can find. I don't promise the best quality, but I'll send them to ya. |

DOGGAN!
THIS is like a dream come true.
I know it's a pita, but I'll take anything you have. You were here almost from the start. It's just incredible fortune that you came by.
Everyone, this is doggan. One of the original AD mages.
Doggan, this is... err... everyone.
I will PM you my email address =D |

Cool. Actually, it's interesting looking through them - not a PITA at all.
There's text and screenshots of people I've completely forgotten about - Conx, Vashen, Xainn, Zeban, Alueriniel, Drekken, Babs (original AD mage), Scubasteve, Cydian, Topster... it goes on.
There's also a some first kills: Vindicator, first West Temple of Veeshan kill (some white dragon, I forget the name), Klandicar, NToV hunting... mass mod rod production from Maige and I.. and more.. hehe. Also a Trakanon raid I did with Fantasy, but some AD members (ex-fantasy) are there like Reijo, Aeranae, Sulaz...
There's even parts of the big EA saga and them trying to leapfrog us to NToV... with the GM intervening and all.
I used to have a bunch of SS from the big Triality/AD AoW confrontation where Sendaught got banned... I wish I could find those.
Pics are resized and organized by zone. Do with them what you wish. Download from my webpage - link emailed to you. |

You sir, are a god.
There's definitely useable stuff here. Some REALLY good ones of some people I was stunned to see again.
I need MUCH more though.
I need Fear, AoW, I need Burrower, I need closeups of people. So many people.
ANY good shots. Please I need them. |

I had a crash too which cost me like 99% of all the shitload I took from doing all those updates, but if you harass Lud he may be able to find them on the server or something. _________________

I will check my 2 older PCs when I get the chance maybe later this week. When I was with AD in the ToV / AoW era, I was playing on a roomate's PC most of the time. _________________
