Fun Facts: then versus now

[blitzcraig]

oh yes, that's great

I was 6 of 8... not too bad I guess lol

OMG
I forgot about some of those

I remember, some were trying to call copyright infringement on some items, one of which was the forest robe.
It was identical to a robe used in another MMO that is still in use today, and had a similar name.
However, the graphic was obtained from a free graphics site, and both games used it.

JaJaJaJa!!! I had forgotten about that

"Give me levels and I won't report you for stealing forest robe. Give me now or game will be gone from Google"

The pharoah hint makes me think of Egypt, so Cleo.

The mention of a spider points towards Arachnia.

I'm not confident about either of these guesses.

The similar game is called "atulos online". It looks exactly like FT. Exactly.

The website that the graphics come from is " reiners tilesets".

Is a pretty interesting site as one can download skins and graphics individually and play around with the file.

Definitely on the right track now, Leone

Cleopatra was the first GM to use a spider skin, so the Pharaoh spider is kind of named for her - getting close now lol, keep going

My original hint(s) may help with this...

[Leone]

I'm determined to get the answer!

Is there something with the name SouthernSun? For example, southern son - a male player who lives in the southern hemisphere?

[blitzcraig]

You're so close to the answer it's literally making me laugh out loud

Maybe thinking a bit about the others named above will help narrow the field a bit
