The AQW Iceberg Explained 

Did I miss anything? Or maybe you want me to go more in depth on a topic in the video? if so, let me know down below 😀

Ballyhoo used to occasionally give 5 AC after watching ads. This was removed because there was an exploit to guarantee AC drop by manipulating packets. I think ballyhoo still says it is possible to win AC from her ads. Dark wolf (pet) used to be the only free-player pet for quite a long time. There was no 2nd banwave because AE doesn't want to lose paying customers - there are big money spenders among botters.

Buried deep down in the depths of the ocean is the rumor spread around by players over a decade ago that having a Necromancer in your group will lower droprates for items, which lead to people leaving or telling you to change class.

bro ngl, I never had a "thing" towards gravelyn since i was 11, i just see her as an Antagonist, but when i played the saga and somehow they put THAT attire on her, i know my life will be twisted, from normal red hair women towards mentally unstable femdom

People always use the wrong nsfw work for why Milt was let go. He was making nsfw animations that looked just like the ads they had for the game back then. You used to be able to find them online pretty easily but they must have been scrubbed. That Twilly stuff was made like a decade later. Still very cursed all around.

Miltonius☠️☠️☠️☠️

Really fun video! I remember playing AQ and Dragon Fable a ton as a kid, but unfortunately never made it to AQ Worlds for some reason. This still brought back some good memories none the less.

ironic how inflation exists in AQW even when trading is non-existent in-game

Not sure if this still exist but there was a bug where quest items won't get removed from your temporary inventory when turning-in the quest. I had this when I was farming for reputation for necromancer back in the day where it was the most popular class cause of it having a pet skelly. The button on the shop for Dragonslayer class in /lair can be accessed even before unlocking the shop. The shop button was just actually behind the lock button and a pixel of it can be clicked just right above the lock button. Rare locations was removed. RIP /tilt. There were bug sometimes where when logging in and spawning in battleon doesn't have player limit. So you'll just see floating souls cause of lag. You can infinitely stack any item before using an exploit. Not sure if this is the exact step but the item needs to be in the bank, then farm for the item, when it drops, you cant/dont claim it (let the drop item button stay) and just keep farming. Then when ready to claim, transfer the item from your bank to your inventory and then claim. The item will then ignore the item limit. Wholesome times when nulgath items (juggernaut items of nulgath) were the most famous items and considered endgame gear and so hard to farm, would take months to complete the single quest, but a lot of players that has drudgen the assistant pet or nulgath larvae pet would just afk on battleon or yulgar to help other players farm for the quest. Rustbucket (and the other variant of the class) was the only class before that could tank 1 hit kill monsters, i.e Nulgath, because of the 'Event Horizon' skill where it makes all the damage turn to 0 Having a pet before was actually considered as a sign that the player is a member, because the name of a member before was also white and pets are member only. Only 100k gold was the worth of the most expensive item before that you can buy ingame. Remember when the suggestion shop in yulgar was the hottest shop? But now.. Archfiend Doomlord of Nulgath was just an armorset in the Suggestion shop before then it went rare and became an armorset to be farmed as it is today. There was an exploit before with DoT potions where when use while the room is in spawn glitch, will make the DoT keeps getting higher in numbers as it ticks. It was highly used in hard to kill boss monsters with High HP, i.e Carnax. Classes before doesnt have rank 10 passive and each rank also doesnt give stats so players before just makes the class to only rank 5, which where you have access to all the skills. The 'Detective Suit' (currently a legend/member only armor) in Sleuthhound Inn became a non-legend/member for a day and all the players bought it. Cant even remember how it was discovered as it is in a somehow secret place and not a famous armor. Mage class was once the most op class in pvp. Ungodly reavers of Nulgath era

Miltonius doing nsfw content is the most nulgath thing ever

I would have never thought AQW had an Iceberg Great to see you're pretty motivated to doing these videos, might share them again on the subreddit :P

Im soooo glad someone else thinks Alina is pretending to be Beleen. Beleens account is wandering into the void meaning she hasn't played on it for years.

Milton was 100% not fired for his NSFW content (although it may have been a small nudging factor). He already did NSFW stuff before joining AE. Specifically, he was laid off along with others when AE was financially suffering. This was fine because he wanted out anyway. As a gift to Milton, Artix signed some papers so he could regain full ownership of the Miltonius character. That's why Miltonius was replaced with Nulgath. The server rewrite was 100% real. I know because I played on it. It featured regenerating health (on monsters too!), level 255 PvP enemies actually gave level 255 XP/CP/gold, for a full weekend EVERYTHING was 100% drop rates, for about a week you could swap classes and rank 4 passive buffs stayed forever allowing you to slowly stack infinite power, and lastly the performance (bank loading etc.) was vastly improved. Some of the code may have made it into the current client, but the project was abandoned due to the death of flash. Probably. The wheel of doom was removed because it's blatant underage gambling. Players such as myself were given warnings for discussing gambling on the forums, when we were in fact criticizing AE for introducing it to their games. They brought it back because money is more important than morals, especially when it comes to selling unnecessary cosmetics to pay for server costs (which is fine, I guess). I don't recall the orbs ever being on the Wheel of Doom. They were removed a LONG time ago. If you google "AQW The Miltonius Mess" you can read about what happened. NSFW "Twilly" is neither Twilly nor a Moglin, though she is clearly inspired by Twilly. Still kind of crazy for a dev to animate that! Like, why? What compelled him? AC items are not really more expensive? Back in the day 1000 AC's would get you a Grim Cloak. What's wrong with the name "Sand Monkey"? What am I missing?

great video lmao should've thrown in a few more random bits about some of the events that happened, the evil war, quibbles shops, The Guardian Tower, Sneevils obsession with boxes, Etc.

idk if this is just a dream or smth i heard in the passing but cant quite remember anymore but there was some stuff around the existence of the abyssal angel class and its creator, hence the og abyssal angel class is now rare and an alternative was created, but the only thing that changed was the name. everyth else worked the same. i genuinely cant confirm this so if anyone can then thanks!! really dont know if i dreamed this up or not

can someone explain the oasis monkey please?

This is actually an interesting concept

I dont know if anyone mentioned it but when the level cap was 30 (or 35?) there was a enhancement glitch via bots that makes your weapon 100 level and most of the players were using it with healer class to solo bosses.

AE rolled back the banwave like 24 hours later. Its really just as simple as many people that bot also spend a good amount of money.

Older player checking in as well. Been pretty close to Milt at some points in life, especially when he left AE, and still support his projects to this day (though more passively). As others have stated, he wasn't fired for his nsfw content (as he'd created the Akumi project before working for AE) but it did factor in as I recall players sharing it around while he was still employed and pointing to the assets in the animation being the same as in AQW (along with the art style matching). Regarding Gravelyn and Kyger as pets, I think it's really a term issue. The pets were pets for so long but once they became battle pets, it was only a matter of time before this extended to humanoid characters that can fight along side our characters. I feel like pets should be rebranded as "companions" or "allies". Something that puts them on equal footing.

Hey Elevonday! Nice video. One subject that hasn't been mentioned is Zazul's house and the purgatorio map.

Truly the best recolor in the game

You forget Lae reciclying og stuff and getting paid by Alina for doing it so

should've included xyo who made aqw content back then and became a mod but quitted years ago

ninja class was so op back then

can someone tell me which rares still drop?

Keep up the good vids, boss.

Finally I've found a funny aqworlds youtuber

good vid really enojoyable

I actually remember the ban wave way way WAY back and got temp banned on 2 accounts for 3 hours.

Finally a Aqw iceberg hahaha

very entertaining

What's the outro song if u don't mind me asking?

is there a way to bot thats safe and also wont get me banned? i remember i did it a long long time ago back in 2020 where the lvl cap was 60 now its 100 so i need to afk farm

'how to swear in aqw' helped me a lot

Thank to the kid in compshop back in 2012, without him I couldn't play this.

The ending song made me feel old.

miltonius is a fuckin legend

I wanna open with the fact that I enjoyed this video for the most part! but please, double check your pronunciations on some of the "weirder" words, like Sepulchure, it adds a surprising amount to the professionalism of your vid, and for those of us who do know what you're talking about it's jarring at the least. Fun iceberg all in all!

Probably why there are so many ultra bosses now. You cant bot to defeat them

Man I miss 2012

What a good iceberg, I would like to contribute something that was four years ago, the case of Saiacosta and the TLAPD 2019 chest, but thinking about it, I think it would not be respectful of his memory. Greetings

I have to say I just got level 88 today 8 years later I have never botted and never will I will be getting my 9 year reward in July. it is currently the 22nd of June 2023

let us not forget the e-daters on AQW! looking back, that was wild af

milton era 🔥🔥🔥

You forgot that people voted for nsfw twilly over gravelyn, milt let everyone down.

Genius❤

Lets go 😀

you could make a 2nd part and talk about the items from "miltonius" that went rare by people selling them for acs.

5:39 i never understood why aqw did this.. a rare quibble shop helm would've costed 60-80 acs back in the day and now a similar quality helm costs 250, its fucking wack

Have you ever glitched your acs to 200k acs, yeah thats me and my account is still alive 😂

Dang alteon and his wife is such a tragic one

Surprised theres no mention of ppl whispering you if your characters female for segs lol. /dance for a good time.

I miss the wheel of destiny

I think the bottom must be in uppmer iceberg cuz' those quest is in the menu button and lanz is filipino so it is impossible that artix is lanz

let's not forget the story behind the rename of the item liar's curse

I'm still salty that I didn't get the Gravelyn pet...

zamn i did not know the synderes blade lore. AQ2d being a lie should be tip of the iceberg imo 😏

As a J6 fan of both the character and the Artist (I won't say his real name here), whom I talk to on the regular and have had a J6 helmet made for me, and mods of the character that I have created for other games, I can say that J6 is not a robot. He is Cyborg.

This was fairly tame tbh. But that's just my pov.

thats not twilly. thats an alternate version with her own name.

It still makes me sad that botting became the norm, because no other game really allows that, or if they do it is specifically a feature instead of going out of your way to basically, if not literally cheat.

I wish I could go back to 2008😢

I started this game back in 2010, played until ~2014, got my first 2 girlfriends from there (yes we meet irl, we actually lived quite close lol). Good old times :D. Then in 2017/2018 I started playing again for some reason, but this time the intention was different. It was about money. I made like 600+ euro of botting accounts till they have VHL (and some other shit) and then selling them. I was using every exploit I knew or discovered. Probably the one that made it all possible was the inifinite bank space (you just had to buy 1), but I quit that "business" when they fixed it. My bots were really efficient, I could get VHL on multiple accounts in a few weeks. I even had bots that could complete a whole story line or event with all the quests, lol. I was going to share them when I quit, but I couldn't recover my mpgh account. Also the Grimoire dev (Biney) kinda disapeared, so I guess people use something else nowdays. Also very few of the sold accounts didn't get banned a bit after that, not sure if email switch (to buyers email) triggered the ban or something else, but that was kinda sad as well. I'm not sure why botters are getting away around the bans, but "account sharing" is not allowed. Like, I'm not going to spend money on this game anymore, let someone who is willing to spend to also buy this account from me, lol.

Ah yes and guess what deeper than that *cough aqw3d*

This game is still alive? Oh wait the Bot community just the ones are active now.

Can you still get abbadon bruiser? Rare items?

Oasis Monkey 💀💀 also thank god I bought that Vesper eternal flame

What about all the scammers that we were plagued with, give me email and pass for 100,000 AC ... Great video, glad to see it done!

real

bro I got banned on that ban wave lol

the miltonius nsfw is true, i watched his creations

Alteon is....wh....what? 😳

Hey, you should’ve included the 4311 community in this. We’re a community of players that play low tiered classes purposely for entertainment for years, the community has been inactive for some time but some people still get on here and there, if there’s ever a part 2 mention us, we were the center of drama for years lmfao

I think the banwave in 2012 got my oringal acc lost i think along with many others people account not fully sure

I thought ae was baswd in florida

wait, does Artix have a son irl called Kyger?

I was expecting the 4311 community to be present. Its fucking crazy once you explore what it is, Dage was a part of it before he became an admin

As one of said botting developers, our open source botting client contains no key loggers. I personally do a mass sweep of all code every couple weeks to make sure that one of our contributors didn't sneak in anything malicious. The closest thing that came to anything malicious was an april fools prank from this year made by yours truely that would show username, password, account creation date, email, IP, and would attempt to do a geotrack on said IP. The prank would go on about how the data was send to our servers, which we don't have. And as for what botting client? We don't have any precense on YT or the forums, but only on our website and discord. If you know the birb, you know enough. Either way, great video!

Most players have used a bot? So like more than 50%? Why are they playing a grinding game in the first place? I hope "most" is an exaggeration, I'd like to believe your average person wouldn't choose to ruin the journey for themselves

I got banned 3 days for botting, maybe bc i used auto clicker rather then a client,, regardless wont risk it now!

xyo

Never botted 😂just have an auto clicker.

4:08 nahhh this ain't real 💀 since i talk to lanz back then like frequently, i can say that this is 100% hoax

Hey 😢

This is so old

Wheel of doom fomo is such a dumb theory. Also people who spin it for medicro stuff it had in 2014 very very dumb
