Old PB2 Days (Site,Game,Etc...)

[nightmar]

I am an old player as well and thank god now i have the confirmation i needed for the database crash, i never seen anybody mentioning it and i was already starting to think i was banned and my child memory confused me, but i was always telling to myself and others it was a "glitch" that happened at the time, sadly, i was one of the unlucky souls that lost their account.... my old IGN was piratax10, no one seems to remember me, maybe because my english skills weren't great (or even existing) at the time?

I also miss the enemies list, it was a funny feature...

Your old name sounds familiar. Perhaps we had met?

I remember back in the day the game used to have thousands of players. You could not join a server sometimes. Now its little over 100. How incredibly sad.

Back in those days, join maxteabag gunshop and commit a massacre, Kills were valid.
Join a saw map using uour login? Goodluck with the kdr.
How i miss being a god in those days as players beg for mercy and guns

I've made a tutorial on how to play the old nostalgic version of PB2 which is found in this topic.

At least it's fun to be able to go to the past and play the old game, unfortunately no multiplayer nor maybe custom maps though, I don't even think you can start the account creation either but it would be funny if you did and it was created in PB2 2011 but it's 2020 or something like that.

I wonder why lots of players didn't return after the infamous 2015 server crash

there is a fun fact about the lights in the old PB2, the lights were unbreakable as well lul

So, I am an old school player from 2011 and I was addicted to this game. It honeslty consumed my life when I was young and man was I okay with it. I made so many friends and had so much fun with the old layout, if I can figure it out Im trying to post my picture of my account

The oldest clan website I could find: https://plazmaburstclan.webstarts.com/index.html
It is from May/27/2011, some amazing content there, "Max Fagbag".

I have some other stuff, there is this website with PB2 community fanart (mostly from the forums) from 2015, https://pb2art.wordpress.com/ you can really see how fanart evolved.

Also since I was an EKAT member, and that was a pretty well known clan back then but now is kinda forgotten when compared to GSA, have this: https://pb2ekat.wordpress.com/ https://ekatclanhq.wordpress.com/ https://ekatheadquarters.wordpress.com/ https://pb2ekatclan.wordpress.com/ https://ekatcommand.wordpress.com/ https://ekatclan.wordpress.com/ https://axisnation.wordpress.com/

Since one of them, the most classic one at least for me got content removed, use this https://web.archive.org/web/20130715000 ... press.com/

damn this is strange

i first played the game around 2011-12. back then i never knew the game had multiplayer so i always played the singleplayer which proved to be a challenge so i could never beat it until years down the line. At some point during the mid 2010s, i discovered custom maps and multiplayer which i played around with but forgot until early 2019 when i discovered them again. And i don't even remember the name of the first map i ever played.

It's crazy how this game created this community, including all these map makers, clans, players.
Honestly it's an honor to be one of the earliest players in the game, although my profile was created in 2015, i used to join as a guest, i created my first profile in 2013 (i think)

I made a lot of memories and friends, the reason why i'm talking in English right now is probably because of this game.

I remember when i was just a normal kid playing this flash game until i accidentally clicked the "multiplayer" button that forced me to discover the multiplayer, although i was new to these stuff but i knew i wasn't playing alone or with AIs because the characters i met behaved like real humans, i was addicted to this game and i did my best to communicate with people that understood English because i didn't understand English back then, after some years of translating and trying to communicate with people i could finally understand them, it was a great feeling, until one day i noticed that i could write and talk in English without any troubles. After i could interact with the players, map making was my goal and i did my best to become a map maker, i didn't care about fame or LDR, all i cared about is to create more fun in this game, and thankfully i could, i was also watching Mingo1's videos that inspired me to make my own youtube channel and learn video editing and montages.

Who knows maybe i wouldn't be here writing this reply if i didn't accidentally clicked that "multiplayer" button, maybe i wouldn't be in this community.. maybe i wouldn't be talking in English, i would just get up and sleep then maybe interact with another community, but i'm glad this luck led me to this community.

And now i am a PB2 map maker, video editor (montage maker), and Site Moderator... something that i never believed in me.

I want to thank Eric Gurt so much for creating such an amazing game and to all the players i had fun with,who knows who would i be without you... this is honestly an unforgettable experience...

Anyways here's a video i made some time ago:

Ye, i'm too as kid accidentally clicked "Multiplayer" button too.

Back in the days of the old Level Editor, the maps I made were really, really basic and lacking regions and triggers because they were too complicated and repetitive to set up.
There was also this child-like way I spammed a bunch of stuff. (because I was actually a child, yes, the floor was made out of floor)

A few examples are a lot of cars crammed into a large acid pool, acting as a way to bridge over;
a bunch of Ally Player marines put in instant-kill places to act as corpses and because I didn't set their HP to 0, they'd make their death noises at the start and they would all merge into one loud amalgamation of death;
and a 'teleporter' that was basically made from doors and a ridiculous lot of flashy lights.
Oh, and I didn't set up any level transition too, so people had to manually input the next map.

They were ridiculous, but I was proud of them nonetheless.
I'd say good riddance to the old Level Editor, Advanced Level Editor is such a saving grace for me.


And then there was the old shadowysn-school map, which has now been completely overridden.
I never saw a school map being played before I made it, and I didn't really search for custom maps a lot so I don't really know if I was the first one to do it.
When the first school maps from other people popped up, I thought to myself, 'wow, did that have anything to do with my map?'.
