RESPO 9th Anniversary

RESPO 9TH ANNIVERSARY

I can't believe its been nine years, but thats how long ago today its been since the RESPO release.
Thought I'd post some old screenshots of the day Torn went down and we waited for RESPO, June 22 2014.
It's just some shots of the old Home Page, Faction Page, old Missions etc. Thanks :)

Ahh, memories....

Such cool!

love these old memories threads.
A time before I was in torn is always cool to see

This is way before my time! But it's interesting to have a history lesson and see where Torn comes from, and realise how far we've come. Gives you a renewed appreciation for some of the things you normally take for granted.

[embedded image] favourite medal from times past.....cannot unsee a man with a dick on his head covered by a balaclava.... thanks for this :D

Wow... it's been so long that old Torn City looks so bizarre.

It makes me appreciate how far TC has come since then.

I'm excited for the next 10 years!

Cool screenies! Wild to think Operation Futile was probably a genuine challenge to unlock and then achieve

Those old respect medals look atrocious lol, quite like Pwned in the face though

Very interesting. I thought companies and racing came out after respo, and that respo still wasn't that long ago.

How time flies

I'd love to see everyone elses screenshots!

I bet there are some classics out there. Anyone got a screenshot of the old dog system?

Wow I’m getting old.

Seeing the old life system is crazy - looking back it really was ridiculous scaling

Seeing the Big Brother House on the west side brings back memories

Looks more like when I first played in high school, that how I vaguely remember 'Torn City'

Back when 100 hits was the max chain length, when E was uncapped, there was no med cooldown and script kiddies were banned without exception. Those were wilder days.

I started by winning an FHC from some IRC radio/giveaway channel.. I think it was #duckpond? But back then, they were 100m each and stock payouts were random but only came at xx:48. So if you weren’t online within 2 minutes of MCS paying out, you lost out on that E :(

The elusive .XXXX in battlestats. At first I thought No way you would have 800b stats in 2014 Load image: blushing

Im so happy that you took so many screenshots of each page. It is a nice reminder to see where we’ve come from. And Torn is looking better than ever today.

The raceway is quite funny to look at. How did we put up with that. There’s an awful lot of grey :P

Went and dug out some old Torn pics.

This how we chained in the old days. You couldn't just attack anyone, your faction had to declare war on other factions and only fights with their members would count towards the chain. Before starting a chain, the faction leader would have to find enough factions so you wouldn't run out of targets mid-chain. There was no 1k E cap or med cooldown and chains were capped at 100 hits, so with careful planning and daring use of xan stacking it was possible to do a max chain solo.

As a not so interesting side note, Misfit Island dissolved because the co-leader helped himself to everyone's savings out of the vault intending to gamble it for his own profit and quietly put it back but lost it all instead. Vault mugging really has been going on since the dawn of faction vaults

Also found this interesting screenshot (not me). This is from back in Torn's wild west days when Ched let us have sex fights. No, actually I don't remember the context.

And of no interest to anyone except myself: the sig from my very own faction that no one remembers.

Boy, was that a terrible decision. Running a faction is time-intensive, expensive and a thankless grind where every ungrateful clod who never shows up on chaining day gets to wipe his boots on your face while demanding why there aren't more meds/armalites in the armoury and where, oh where, dear leader is my FREE XANAX which supposedly every other faction in the city is offering him if you're not willing to cough up? *fades to ranting under breath for a few more minutes*

I remember this time from when I started playing all those years ago! Good memories, amazing how the game has improved so much over the years.

I jus kept moving forward. Adapt and survive. Continues to adapt and continue to survive. Then yesterday. Crime 2.0 rolled.

Then today, I can't remember what is crime 1.0 already.
Someone take a screenshot?
