Don''t Panic!!!!

Those of you who remember the good old days of "Maggie the Jackcat" will remember these two dedicated people (Maggie and Ned) who faithfully stayed with AC all these years while the rest of us went on to become dis-satisfied MMO trolls.

They were old timers when I played AC back in 2001 / 2.

I guess he passed away on Sept 4th 2008. Maggie doesn't leave much info.

He was a great MMORPG player and the community will miss him.

 

September 4, 2008
I'm saddened to let you know that my vassal, Ned Cleversun, passed away on Tuesday. He was the finest vassal on Dereth. A good companion and dear, dear friend. I will miss him terribly.

(A picture from Maggies site, I think Ned was her vassal for 8 or 9 years)

Oh that is sad to hear  

They were such a great resource for all of us.  I can't even guess at how many times I refered back to their pages to find out tid-bits of knowledge.

I miss games that required thinking.  These days everyone just follows lighted paths between NPCs with glowing punctuation marks over their heads.  Games have fallen apart, nintendo-ized to the dumbest denominator.  The people that put in such effort in to the great MMORPG games can never be thanked enough.

Bless you Ned.

If two people best exemplified what MMORPG's are really about it was Maggie and Ned. Its not the graphics or the quest or game mechanics, its the people who enjoy gaming together whatever game it might be.

ooorah

We will all miss you ned. I remember using maggies site for almost everything and it was one of the best resouce sites for that game.  I will love the idea of a game that will be even close to the joy that AC brought me.... I'm praying that DFO will bring back that old feel where there is such a big world and not a linear path to follow!

 

Farewell ned we will miss you.

All of the people I didn't know that have passed, I think he will be remembered the most (at least in the video game industry).  He and Maggie are a legacy in AC's history.

Currently playing Real Life..
Played:
AC, AC2, WoW, AO, AoC, Lineage 2, COH, COV, VG. WAR..

Sad news indeed....

I referred to "Maggie the Jackcat" for alot of AC quest and info in general about the game and to this very day it remains the best experiance ive had in any game.

Id just like to thank Ned and Maggie for providing this service to us all and my heart goes out to the Cleverson family
