Nostalgia (Tanki during its first 5 years)

[Moraine 5,877]

Once upon a time, Tanki looked and felt quite different from now - crystals were falling from the sky, freeze could actually freeze, parkour wasn't a format, maps had different look and shape, enemy teams would hang out one with another after the battle was done, fairplay was alive and well and special paints weren't that easy to find on the battlefield.

 

To illustrate how game looked and felt till late 2014, I complied some of my old screenshots from various battles, photoshoots and parkours and posted them here:

Well, all I'll say is it's certainly improved since then :x

Memories ^_^

 

To be honest, I prefer the old tanki (2014-2015).

I wonder why they replaced the anarchist symbol with a communist one

I described these old photos in another topic (Picture of the Day) but I'll share them here too since it's relevant. :)

 

My old clan pictures

 

 

 

 

 

 

Battle funds (many more before this but I didn't know how to screenshot at the time):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And who can forget, the worst thing in the world)))

 

 

 

 

 

(I consider this, the graphics update, and economic 123 update, to be the end of "Old Tanki", 2009-2012)

 

 

 

 

That's all from me, tankmen! And here is some old goldbox videos, not by me though, but it still takes me back. :wub: Seeing that bright orange box still gives me heart palpitations!

Love your posts, guys. My TO career began in early 2013 after the rebalance. 2013-2014 were the best years for me, so many special memories from back then. I wish I could time travel back to Tanki's early days just so I could experience it all again (I know, that does sound a bit extreme)!

I don't really have time stamps for my tanki youth journey, I never knew I would get hooked into it as I am right now.

I luckily stumbled into the lowest rank screenshot i have of my main acc.

PS. dont laugh at my m0 isida :$ I was a real f2p player back in the days till like 2 star rank :X

All i know is that this pic was from atleast 2 and a bit years ago

When I first registered here, you could still play standard battles in Cross map, I only played in that map, absolutely loved it. I was a Freeze/Hornet user back then, it was fun to camp under the bridges and freeze whoever passed by, they never stole my flag (unless my team didn't cover the upper parts)

Oldest picture I could find of Me (Oli337) and my friends back in the days ^^

 

 

 

 

It was a really good game in the past, sadly the game and the community changed to a worse (Overall, not saying that everything is bad :v)

I have some wonderful memories from 2011, its just too bad I didn't know what a Prt Scrn button was.  :unsure:

 

I'll have to search some of my old hard drives for some 2014 memories. :P

Dude - 2014-2015 is the new Tanki ... the old, the original and really captivating game was back 2009-2011

[Guest TSY_the_crazy]

I'm a new player, but looking at those pics of old tanki, I wish I came earlier :x

[sillyedwin25 132]

e.e I came right after the rebalance (update 123). 

 

Tanki was mostly russians and legit 90% of the battles were made by russians

Damn, you guys are oldies xD The oldest image I have is this, not that many changes noticeable :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

I didn't have lightshot or any other screenshot software, but it was my second ever gold (the first one I had no idea I actually took it and was so surprised that there was my name xD... I was Warrant Officer 1, don't judge xD) in madness map, and literally no one was there and I took it :D As you can see, it's about 2.5 years old, and nowhere near some other screenshots here :D Really nice screenshots, interesting to see how far tanki has come :)

 

Sometimes I wish I could see how it was during those first 5 years  myself, but alas :)
