Anybody remember the old days?

Starting on a multiplayer server was the problem in this story.

Multiplayer in general is not really a good way to start playing any game; you oftentimes run into hackers, duped items, or over-saturated economies if the game has one.

I'm sure you know this now, but handing someone an Excalibur and Adamantite Armor doesn't teach them anything about how that armor was gotten, how houses are built, how to navigate the world without such things or even "wtf is going on?".

That's why I start every game I buy in Singleplayer, first assuming the game has said single-player mode. That way, I don't have other people ruining the learning experience for me (trolling, griefing, or unintentional like the sword/armor in your example).

Of course, multiplayer is fine to start with if your playing with someone you know who's also just starting out. But yeah, joining some random server the first time you played Terraria wasn't a good idea.

Yeah I remember. Everybody was saying how much better Starbound was than Terraria.

Can't say I miss those days. Mainly because everybody is crying themselves to sleep now due to Chucklefish pulled a fast one on them with Starbound, like I told them they would. You ignorant fools, saying "I told you so" never felt so good.

Umm, yeah that was off-topic, my bad. Yeah I remember those days. Terraria was just Minecraft in 2D, I like it better now, even if it's developers sold out.

Sorry about the derail but what?

"Pulled a fast one"?

What kind of "fast one"?

I dont need to go too far away to remember the day i was the master of teleportation, hahahahahahahhaha damn chaos state debuff!! Absolutely hated it

 

[Magnaturro]

Oh i remember the first time i played terraria, back when 1.1 was out, I played all night long, and then like 6 hours per day for the first week, i had no clue of what to do, but i wish i could be as excited as i was back then.

First started playing in 1.0.6. Good times, although when I go back to play it again I can't believe how tedious everything was.

 

[TerrorPenguin]

When you play mobile then you can relive the experience... i guess..... with some diffrences

or maybe you could get game launcher and download one of the old versions?

 

[Snickerbobble]

I remember back when hellstone bricks were crafted with hellstone+iron pickaxe. Yes.. that's seriously how you had to craft them. They didn't use stone!

 

[Nim]

Pre 1.1 was pretty baren, you could get through the main progression in a few hours, though, It will always be nostalgic for me

I started when console came out, and I started on console because my cousin said that it was good. I have never regretted buying it.
The first time I fought the eye of cthulhu I was with my cousin and he gave me a blade of grass while he used a fiery greatsword I think.
I remember going into the dungeon for the first time and my cousin and his friends were there and rushed in before I could and stole a ton of the loot.
I remember building my giant castle around my NPC house tower, took forever, especially to get all the iridescent brick I needed.
I remember fighting the twins for the first time with my cousin... We beat them but there was tombstones (of only one type) everywhere they could have been.
I remember farming skeletons and undead miners for the mining shirt (since my cousin had the pants) and getting 7 hooks in the process.
I remember when I finally got the "A Knight In Shining Armors" achievement and putting all the pre-1.2 armor on display on mannequins.
Good times, good times.

Ah, those where the days. Started with release myself.
I remember when skeletron would just appear without warning if you talked to the old man during the night.
I remember when everyone was complaining about the Phoenix blaster nerf.
I remember when dungeon gear was considered almost top tier.
I remember when King Slime was introduced.
I remember when the corruption used the same theme as the meteors.
I remember when the Star Cannon was OP as all hell.
I remember the huge amount of sadness from red leaving, and the huge amount of anger from the console exclusives.

those last two yeah... that was bad... most of the others were before my time though...

I originally played Terraria on the XBOX 360, so whatever version that was would be my old days.

Heh, weird to think that excalibur was the infinity+one-sword and Skeletron Prime was the final boss.

 

[ppowersteef]

the time i used hellstone ore while fighting the hardmode bosses, and even then it was still a challenge

 

[Tmacster1]

I remember when cactus's would hurt you if you walked into them. So, I've played way back before 1.1 and 1.2.

I had forgotten about that. Hellish. The pain of dealing with them was multiplied by the knockback.

 

[Xman101🌳]

I remember when the land apparently was incredibly thin, and 'floating' in the sky.

And when the Sun was bright orange.

I want that back in 1.2.

 

[Nimbus_Bolt]

I got Terraria a couple months ago, but I have been watching youtube vids on it for a very long time, around when it came out. I think it was already awesome but now it is even better.

 

[Jerion 'Wyverntamer' Kràl]

I remember back when the archeologist outfit was just introduced, I want back to those times, those simple times, no fancy wiring needed, just your own skill... Okay and the OP starcannon!

 

[Crablegs10]

I got the game when 1.2 just came out. At first, I didn't know what to do until I found the wiki. Eventually, I got to the point where I got lazy and downloaded a map with every item on it.
