In looking through my Quest Journal I discovered that one of my characters still has an uncollected bounty. The bounty system was removed with DDO:Eberron Unlimited, released in 2009. Maybe they need to do a TR/RR?

My characters still have the DDO Birthday Cake of Wishes (aka 2008) and 2011 PAX vouchers that expired useless.

Demon Queen (desert loot) that is unbound ML9 when equipped: example: Firestorm Greaves, Sirroco, Tinder, etc.

Their go to weapon at level 1 is the Sword of Tesyus... well, it looks a bit like it , though the blade is flimsy and the workmanship more attractive than practical....

Does that character still have some leveling sigils too?

I have a couple of items that simply wore down over time that I received as random loot in 2006. One in particular is an invisibility clickie necklace that I used for more than a decade.

With champions & the monster manual, it seems like maybe they could rework & reintroduce the bounty system.

Rarely play him, but I still have a character tagged with Xoriat, one of the bygone servers before the server merge in fall of 2007.

Your (DDO) character is so old that ...

you have a correctly spelled common name like Gimli, Legolas, Gandalph, Minsc, Boo, Drizzt, ect., or any name found in a book of baby names,

Your almost old if your name at least makes some sense.

I have multiple characters that were created when the cap was still level 10. Once got stopped at 14, one at 16 and my first ever character is still around but I did TR him once.

My main (Sindarin) was created when 10 was the cap but she's had 50+ lives since then.

Wow, that is old.

The oldest I ever found was a character that still had XP debt from dying. :cool:;)

I have half a dozen (unbound) invisibility clickies I still use from time to time (not the 1 time BTC that drops now).

Your character is so old that all of your weapons are Ghostbane'd.

I still have a character inside the Harbormaster’s House, at least she was last time I checked on her. They finally 86’d another location (the marketplace tent) a few years ago that I had a character in.

I don't think my original character is around anymore, but I do have these (https://i.imgur.com/b30xrFu.png) on my now-oldest character which is like 92 Raid Timer Bypasses (or 1000 Bells of Opening and 56 Rods of Teleport), 81 Siberys Spirit Cakes and 130 Jeweler's Tool Kits in uncrunched anniversary cards...

on that note.
I will have to give STO credit. You can have any name you want 'that is not copyrighted'
as long as it is not a duplicate of a character 'you' already have.

They get by with that by tying your character name to your account.

My original character I created on 3/1/2006 on the "Fernia" server still exists on G-Land ( landing spot after 2 server merges ).
He leveled to 17 and is still on his first life.

He completed "Euphonia's Mission" in the old "Rook's Gambit" starter area and bought a weapon from "4 fingered Thad."

I remember the crushing lag I experienced the first week in water works ( was on dial-up 33.3 KB connection. )
Got my first broadband connection shortly thereafter.

I think the oldest reliably accurate things I have are some 6th year birthday cakes. I still pop a Cake-Loving Djinni in the Harbor now & then, but nobody dances with him any more. :(

I've got a fire shield clickie (x3) that I looted in the first few months of the game from Redwillow. There was a time the loot table in Redwillow was 'broken' and dropped odd stuff. Doesn't sound too amazing, but this occurred well before the fire shield spell was introduced to the game.

On one of my first characters, on I think the first server I played on, there is a Copper Sigil of Leveling or was the last time I went around the servers collecting anniversary presents.

Turbine admins obviously hated STO, they changed my guilds name on LOTRO said it was inappropriate, it was "Cling On Empire". They renamed a bunch of my toons too, one was named Warf (means threw in German) and another was Spok but they left Georedy alone.

I stopped playing it for over six months and my guild name is still active it is "COE renamed". These days they let almost anything go.

It almost made me stop by their office last time I was working in Boston to complain... and don't get me started on Boston

My main still has a bank full of Wounding of Puncturing rapiers, shortswords, and daggers (they're gonna make a comeback I tellya! LOL).

Also a bunch Metalline or Silver with Holy or Pure Good devil beaters we had to link backin the day to join a raid.

Naw, I don't have inventory probs at all... can quit any time.

I respec'd the Dodge, Mobility, and Spring Attack Tempest req's years ago but understand some of those might be back in fashion.

I have a dozen characters that are still in the first pub - when you landed in Stormreach in the Harbor there was a pub there that is now gone (its moved) this was before the Inspired Quarter was established, which changed the landscape so its not the same now.

This inn is now in Crystal Cove.

If I remember right outside that in you could go to Kobold Island and one of the first quests was search for a hidden holy +5 sword only to find out it was a cheap fake sword but you could sell it for a lot of gold, which helped you as a new character get going - I kept a few of those fake holy swords, every now and again I post them on the AS market so people can see them though I don't think many are around who know what they are.

There was also the Low Road quest though I forget - I believe much of what was the low road was pieced apart to make one of the quests in Korthos

the marketplace was a tent with a giant inside and the vendors were all up along a long series of bridges and platforms which you could fall from because no one had feather falling. This was before the invasion and before the dragons of Argonnessen came to visit the coin lords. I still have numerous unbound waterbreathing items that dropped from back then.

I also have cookies in my cookie jar from the first holiday event; Mary has a few other old things. I have lots of old style weapons as that was how I made my first fortune in Stomreach as a weapon and armor seller. I've many of the old Iron Cleavers, and things like 'Flaming Sword of Pure Good' - and of course I have a few 'wounding of puncturing' because you used to be able to murder everything with those.

I still have the first set of +5 adamantine full plate that dropped on Sarlona. A friend of mine looted the first +5 mithril full plate. Another friend of mine looted the first vorpal and he used it so much killing everything over and over in Tempest Spine that it was completely red-barred. This loot was farmed back when everyone would farm Threnal South, Co6, and the giant caves (before Turbine nerfed the giant caves)

A few of my characters still have their +5 hitpoint helms they got whenever they logged in on the first day of the early access for pre-orders when the european servers first went live, February 24th 2006.

I should have kept a levelling token for nostalgia but I think I deleted them all. Oldest thing I can think of that I still have is a Murlynd's Spoon.
