i haven't been on here in forever.

vztz was > because it wasnt such a bitch to level. anyone could get in the game and compete and feel useful within 2 weeks. i was one of the ppl advocating shit-slow exp, thinking it was the best option because it would deter hackers when they got caught and banned. but i was wrong. the hack-detection on p99 is so good that the "recreation factor" didn't even come into play.

lvls were too slow. my own main is still level 41 or 42. i hope to play again some day, would be great if everyone came back at once.

but vztz was one of a kind. maybe it was elitist in a way, but the community, if you could call it that, had actually MATURED (not in a grown up way, in a "stabilized ecosystem" way) into something sustainable. it failed only because lewts were too common, other games came out, and population snowball effect.

if r99 had a higher pop i would go back, too. maybe i'll log on anyway some day. i hear there is global ooc now (BIG PLUS). would make logging in entertaining even if i found no group

Red had a glorious 3 months, then it was clear the main dev didn't give a hoot and the box slowly declined into the sad state of affairs it is today. Why would he give a hoot now?

Pollution maybe?

I dislike the whole "cant handle classic server" argument because it isn't 1999 anymore and this isn't a super-classic server (and thank fuck for that)

Sig.. That's why there were none.

That worked on vztz :/

Did it work on Titanium client? I looked at it briefly a few months ago, and it's an issue in the client with all spells with a recourse component.

Glorious is the wrong word. Fun maybe. But there were how many raid target / epic battles?

Not three months of glory

Rushmore could be right. I do not know what will happen but rushmore will have a better idea than most. The guild he was in, that was farming VP uncontested for a good amount of time, got shit stomped and griefed off the server and chose to just not log in rather than put up a fight. He then tried joining the guild that made his fellow guildmembers afraid to log on.

So even on vztz they stopped logging on after a defeat?

To answer your initial question Lasher is Holocaust. I was in his Holocaust on RED 99.

Back on VZTZ I fought against them! WE never quit. I played a Gnome Warrior named Hall. And it took me the better of 8 months of fighting them to get my epic. Box 3.0 of VZTZ. My guild wasn't dominated but we lost more than we won. But we never gave up we just kept pushing and eventually we started stomping there ass!

FAST FORWARD! Project 1999 RED. I wanted to team with people from VZTZ on RED. Mostly the people that I hadn't played with before. The people who I looked up to as the best players! Like Lasher. You see this is what they do.... They talk all this big shit but when they were down and out they quit! Just as I predicted. They are who WE THOUGHT THEY WERE!

such a shame, if only you could not of imparted some of your big heart and determination onto them

but I guess when you are dealing with jellyfish like red99's holo, even the young Lion Hall can only do so much.

oh well, thats the past. The future lookin bright, was 48 people logged in tonight, lots of new blood leveling up in unrest and what not too.

Nihilum has every intention of giving them time to grow and thrive into something. We are not like some of those "other" guilds, you know, the kind that train specters on noobs is oasis, or festering hags on noobs in unrest. Hopefully those days are over and just a bad memory from the times before holo was thrown off the server.
