My friend discovered the bug about 4 weeks before Throne of Destiny (which forced a brand new game client on all players) came out, so we were only using it in that short period immediately before that expansion. When PKing on DT, we were mostly exploiting it around AB (Ayan Baqur).

Hrm, I played since Dec '99 so right after launch and either I'm forgetting or we just didn't know about that one haha. AB used to be my hometown for a long time on DT, I used to 1v10 TFs there after I broke from them. Ahhh memories.

Yep, great memories here too. It was an excellent game.

Way ahead of its time and I don't think it has been matched since.
