Over the lifetime of the server Dasaria has seen bloody intrigue, conspiracy, bitter urban war and religious skirmishes upon the village green itself. Various players have taken part in such stories and spectacles.
The quesiton I pose to you, however, is which of these many scenarios have you enjoyed the most?
Please post with reasonings, and if possible reference it with the appropriate thread on the forums so we can all read up on it.
In late November of the year 2003, one of my characters, Raeflyn, was involved in a rather tumultuous time period after the sacking of the Village and expulsion of the people of Daris into Shadow Forest.
This coencided with the inventory wipe. I don't know if this contributed to the chaos that ensued, but the newly reclaimed village was a target for murder, theft and general lawlessness. As a result, Raeflyn declared Martial Law as Brigaider of the Redboot Brigade.
The following weeks was probably the most stressful, PVP-orientated and chaotic days of my time spent here in Dasaria. There was council intrigue, lawlessness in the streets, Drow exploiting the chaos and Guards growing white wigs overnight. Read for yourself!
I would love to listen and read what others remember fondly. I love this server, and the stories it has created.

Heh... although I was quite pissed off about it at the time... I do believe one of the funniest things to happen to Lone was Minfod.
Running for their lives in times of uncertainty, four friends, Zieg, Lone, Timmy, and Lee Mu climbed to the top of the hill where Holly's monument stood, chasing after the mimic box that tricked them just the few moments ago. The four of them stop and froze at the sight that they beheld at the top of the hill.
A Morrat... four times taller than the ones that they were used to stood at the bottom of the hill... although its head was level with their own. "ZIEG! I COME FOR YOU!" It bellowed.
The friends all looked at Zieg, who cringed, though they were unsure what was going on. With a valiant strike, the four friends worked together, using their various skills to take down the fiend giant. After an exhausted effort... the four left towards town, victorious.
As they approached the Ogre Hills... A group of Ogre Berserker stood, blocking the road. The four friends looked to each other... the ogres were not intelligent enough to organize such a strike... "ZIEG!" Bellowed the front ogre. "I COME FOR YOU!"
Mouths dropping, the four friends moved into action, there were casualties this time, but the friends over came, and defeated the drove of demonic ogres.
After winning, the four attempted to head to town, but found that someone had barricaded the passageway. In a panic they decided to turn the other direction and find refuge at Hunar's.
Approaching Hunar's, the four were baffled at the sight they saw. Twenty minotaur, all breathing steam from their snouts blocked the path to Hunar's. "ZIEG!" Bellowed the first minotaur in line.
"Yeah... yeah... Zieg... we know."
The four of them turned to run, but an invincible palisade magically appeared behind them, blocking their escape.
"Very well! The gods toy with us this day! Fight!" cried Lone, and dove into the crowd of minotaur, his friends behind him. The group fought with valor, a true, well-worked team, each utilizing their skills to fight amongst the demonized minotaur. Each one fell to their Levels 2-5 might.
Seeing the passageway now clear to Hunar's, Lone took a step forward... but before he reached it, another invincible palisade formed before him, blocking the pathway.
"Oh you've got to be s------ me."
Turning around, at first... no one was there but the four of them. But suddenly, with a crash and a bang, four Minotaur Shamen appeared to them. Then eight. Then 20. then 40. They teleported in by droves. Then this narrator lost count because there were so many minotaur his screen could not keep up with it.
Surrounded by death, and barricaded from all sides... the gods had their fun that day. The tale was handed to all the people of the countryside, lest they forget that they should not piss off the gods. It was whispered person to person, ear to ear, until it got around to everyone...
"Remember, the folly of man... remember theMinotaurFieldOfDeath.... remember Minfod."
OR
As someone I once met put it best, Drekkan... "Yep. I suppose there's not much things worse than being bumraped by a herd of angry cows."
MINFOD is one of my good dasarian moments but the biggest one was when Swift D'Malin found an old book that did greater spell protection once a day *which I was not supposed to have, i dont think anyway* I spoke with a DM and showed it to a few of Swift's friends in town and we had a treak to Dasar to take it to the queen... after a lot of killing and fun RP we got to the palace
and Swift and a few other char's met the queen and swift was personally thanked and yeah . . . is was fun and ya know its not often any char meets the queen of dasaria and her personal guards heh

I might have told this story before, but I will say it again. A character called "Coal Staburbak" aquired a redboot uniform from peribo (so he said) and was seen walking through the village. He was giving orders and making fun of the redboots. This all stopped when Brigadier Kurich, Commander Ergg and some other redboots entered the scene. I think Coal was killed 4-5 times before he agreed to give/sell (cant remember which) the uniform back to the Brigadier.

Oh hell yeah.. I remember that. That was one hell of a hoot.. And there was much chaos as well, heheh. Jenna was there, also... who else again.. they were kinda called up at the last moment, so we had no idea how to run everything. Was kinda like; okay, you go there, stay alive and give them hell. If you die, well.. tough luck, heheh. It was good fun, really but damn chaotic.. It didn't go all smooth as we initially had wanted it to go =/
First I was broken out of that tower. Then only to find out I had to instantly show up at Ravenwatch to help out the G'elle, as payment for breaking me out. Man.. standing up on those walls seeing the supposed heroes approach, that made my blood go juuust a little faster. Then the battles. In the end, we were fleeing and leaving the scene, but it surely was a great fight

Good memories!
one of my favourite times also, damn redboots being nearly invincible! >:)
then there was kells wedding, had to pull his arse outta the fire again keeping the RB's busy for him there and he never appreciated kin's help on those many occasions.....
do the redboots DO anything since the G'Elle left?
Those who watch their backs meet death from the front.....
(Drow proverb)
Haha Ravenswatch was my first week here, and I had no clue what was going on, all I can remember is Legnar yelling out "YOU'RE DEAD KELL!" and being confused as anything.
My fondest memories on Dasaria are definatly my first month on here after I made Til. He got inducted into the Mardukians which was awesome, and I was trying my hardest to get known around the place. I remember being so stoked when someone like Reaflyn or Shalandra came on and being able to RP with those fellas. And there was once this simple event where Varanites attack the Farms near the Old Baraan District, and Til and Ash lead an expedition together to fight them off. It was these first few months that were the best for me.
Also, *salutes Ash* He was an awesome Paladin.
Tilirinn Showra, Paladin of Marduk, Kingseeker Knight of Dasaria. Padril, Sharpshooter of Daris.
No he wasn't. He was just a "good" fighter, just like Kurich. Ask Kisanth, he'll talk the proverbial mouthfull. Most Paladins didn't do anything even remotely Paladinly (shut up, it's a word. I made up).
As for the back on topic thing - my favourite moment was everytime I abused the players! Especially the ones that (thought they) could role-play very well!
Oh and when Telu and I were involved in some PvP in the ruins against those super Nergy-NPCs that were created to get that story moving.

My favorite moments in Dasaria were without a doubt, as you probably can guess, every moment with Logan. And to pick the fondest out of all those fond memories - besides the amazing wedding - were the moments we were alone, sitting on the ledge, just right of the entrance to the Farmlands. It's not accessible anymore unfortunately, but we would sit there for hours on end - talking, talking, until it would be sometimes 5am at night for me. My fondest memories are those, and I miss them badly. Who thought of the idea to remove that ledge anyway?
I love you baby.

Tied for most memorable, the time I pick pocketed Depheant and stole a bank note for 100, 000 gold. By this time the banker was gone and no one would trade me the gold for the bank note. That was the most I ever pulled on a pick pocket.
