Ancient LoTC Lead developer gets interviewed..

[shiftnative 3103]

Hey, remember me?  I didn't think so, but here's a video that might shed some light on the early days of LoTC and a glimpse into what it was like to run the thing so long ago..

@marimbamonk Asked to interview me awhile back so I put on my sunday best and we spent over 2 hours talking about times as far back as 2011.. (super impressed with his questions and over all demeanor) I had a lot of fun recording this and I really miss being a part of something so special. Also, I forgot to mention "Simmpa" the first king of the dwarves.. (sorry!)

 

** Inteview starts 12 minutes into the video **

Simmpa was first, but not for very long..! 

[gremlockgremlin 755]

Hmm @shiftnativethen I need to revise the record I made. Who was king after Simpa? Was it then Algrim? I'm certain of my nl record up and until the 6th recorded on being Thorik Grandaxe. I know Hiebe was a early one and Algrim was seen in a very ancient video to be king of Urguan. 

 

I just wish to know the complete and full list as too preserve the history properly. 

 

I know Urguan has had 40+ nls at this point.

Not sure who was king after Simmpa, wouldn't be surprised if it was Algrim. @Hiebe definitely knows better than I on that one..

Hey longtime no see 😅 I am..! I'm playing on Project Quarm, a private server which is currently on Kunark and will stop at planes of power.  lvl 32 Cleric & 13 Monk..!

You're the GOAT. I'd like to see more videos like this containing information about the past. People are now attached to the present but have no reference point for the past outside of hearsay and legends. I'd love to speak to you at some point and gather information about past events in the Elves, but I understand if you wish to remain somewhat distanced from the server.

Great interview/discussion, thanks brother.

Charles Grimlie was overseer then king (Simmpa never logged on/ I never saw him once in the beginning). Then it was Belin Irongut, then Algrim Irognut, then Gotrek Firemane, then it was Thorik Grandaxe.

All the 1.0 dwarf kings.

 

Gonna listen to the whole interview of ya Shift, good to see ya still gaming and enjoying life.
