randomdead,
When did you start playing out of curiousity?
For Myself, I began on August 9th, 2005, a montha nd 3 days after the game was released, and I JUST missed out on seeing the last padlock get cut and thus my wirecutters became useless. The game in the early days was quite awesome, coming in when I did I missed out on the joys of exploring and recording the buildings and streets around me on paper so as I could plonk them on my wall so as I knew where the hell things were in relation to each other, cause there was no map to start with, the joys and pains of no barricades, though I was there for the 1st generation revive syringes and getting revived whilst offline meant you stood up and were killed again as often as not. The Many were awesome and a sense of humopur as 100+ Zombies busted into a building and all said Mrh? in mockery at the same time before butchering everybody was cool. The CoL and the Original Forums then all the cxrap that happened there and damn but you have a mammoth task ahead of you.
I agree, most of it should be plonked down here because quite simply it will take weeks to get down ingame, though I'm uf or helping out in that regards (I'll have to wander off to Houldenbank for a Rotters Revive first though), and also if you want anymore contributions to the early history of the game at least from 1 month in, anything I can get for the Original CoL etc straight off the Forums (Yes we actually had private forums which are quite fascinating to read actually from so far after it was all new and awesome) I can happily contribute as well.
Anyways, good luck with it all,a nd nice to know we have an actual librarian here on the forums.
Question, I have a friend who is looking at becoming a librarian in RL too, has completed an arts/english degree and will do a course (so she can be a qualified librarian) in Melbourne in a years time (year off to work and save again) but asides from that, would like to know anything she can about how to become a librarian, or get work in a library if that is at all possible, so if you have any advice I can pass on to her that would be fantastic, especially in regards to the preservation of books as most of us have quite extensive collections, some things which, at least for us students are quite expensive exceeding 100-200 dollars each so yeah, would be nice.
Anyways, I must be off,
Von Luthius.
