Now that 1.0 is closely approaching, I think it would be nice to collect a little history of mount & blade. It was a very long process, and incredibly fun. One of the most unique experiences I have ever felt. I would like to think that I had an impact, even if a tiny one, on the course this game took. As some of you might remember who have been here a while back when it wasn't Calradia it was Calardia and it wasn't Mount & Blade it was War Rider, this game has took many different shapes. There used to be dead zombie like things, but the game remained true to its goal "a unique blend of action, roleplaying and strategical gameplay" one of the most fascinating concepts I have ever played. And one of the main reasons I have always been here and returned over the past 4 years.
I first saw m&b when it was war rider at a lan party at a friends house. I will never forget how we all stopped playing games as one of the guys was showing us the game war rider. I was so amazed at how awesome it was I had to go get it. I downloaded it not too long after that and played it until I had to support the game and bought it. Finally somebody was making my dream game and I was going to help make it.
Please post your memories of the earliest days of Calradia (or Calardia lol) and when you first joined mount & blade and why, so that maybe we can organize a nice history of this great game. So that the future of this game will be even more fun and exciting.
update: I forgot to add this in. Please add how much you paid for the game when you bought it. It would be interesting to see how the price has gone up over the years, and how much those who decided to invest in the game ended up saving by not paying full price when the game hits retail. I remember I paid $11 when I bought my version. I didnt know id be waiting this long but I'd say its worth the investment. I think i trippled my investment as far as value goes.
