25 Years

Das Org was founded 25 years ago this month.

Ja Mata….

April 1999... 25 years. In internet terms, this place is ancient.

Most apps we use today were not even existing back then.

Das Org?

[Kurando]

Back in the day there were two big sites totalwar.org and totalwar.com we had a friendly rivalry. I remember one of the guys at the other site was from Germany and he called our site “das org” -I got a kick out of it and always called our site that thereafter.

I remember when the internet was young. And I remember when 25 years seemed to be very long, but now I remember my earlier times in this forum like it was yesterday.

So sorry about that.

The timing makes me think the lockdowns and the economic impact from it had something to do with it. I heard that the divorce rate is much higher in China because the lockdowns were much longer and severe there.

We'll be celebrating Shogun TW's 25 year anniversary next year as well.

And this place is going towards 30 years now...

Quarter of century. Just a glimpse of an eye. Happy 2025 Orgahs! May it be a good one. :bow:

I remembering getting Shogun TW as a present from Santa in the year 2000. Special memories.

In 2025, Santa eBay gifted me Shogun TW Warlord Edition. I wonder what I'll get in 2050 - a fresh copy of Medieval TW, sealed and in a box?

I still have the big (red) box STW, MI and original MTW and VI. No idea where I got those from. Probably high street games shops... Funny to think it's over 20 years.

I recently started playing again.
