Females take note. Chest is the sort of dude who will stalk your Facebook and Instagram for years after you broke up (although word is he does like to cuck)

It's always a good thing to know where the server stands/it's direction.

Stop complaining and deal with it, or go play on Phinny where you'll be much happier.

Or, for your nostalgia fix, you can play other games from 1999 that are arguably better: Crazi Taxi, Medal of Honor, FFVIII, GTA II, Planescape: Torment (this one defintitely), Super Smash Bros., Chrono Cross, Unreal Tournament, Ocarina of Time (Nov. 1998, but Majora's Mask was 2000, so I am okay splitting the difference for both) etc., etc., etc.

Nah, half the charm in 1999 was meeting people from across the world and joining them in grouping to slay orcs, goblins and dragons.

I know BDA likes its own instances but don't forget to mingle with others <3

I have noticed Chest has been more active speaking out about the p99 raid scene lately. Could it be he knows Phinny's shelf life is coming to an end for the majority of his guild members? So while not playing on p99, he is still actively trying to change the p99 raid scene to fit his needs. So his members will have a home when Phinny dies out.

My prediction:

Even though Chest has openly talked bad about p99 while he has been on Phinny, Chest and BDA will return once PoP has lost its allure

How bout it Chest, am I close?

See you soon!

Love,

Speedi

Repops are never addressed in those posts.

Kinda annoying.

Never have I heard anyone complain about repops. Very few people have cited reasons against reduced variance.

Why does the notion of increased earthquakes go ignored if it is universally appreciated as a good idea? I no understand??

Its better now than it used to be, something many new players don't really understand.
Atleast we actually have(had?) working agreements. Something we didnt have for 48935 years of Kunark.

tl;dr nothing to see buisness as usual.

Some new players genuinely want to know how it's come to this point, and no one seems to want to have an honest discussion about it. It's seemingly popular to just tell new players off or assume their whining. At this point it should be easy to see that coming onto the raid scene now would be confusing AF. People say one thing and do another.

Because apparently Sirken can't do them and Rogean isn't around enough to stay on top of it.

This isn't close. There is at least a year of worthwhile raids coming on Phinny, content that at least raiders care about even if no one else does from GoD on.

This time next year? We can have this conversation again, but if BDA goes anywhere it won't be back to p99, this server is creatively dead and Velious found seriously wanting. If it moves again, figure Takp or p2002. P2002 has the better client, Takp has the better staff, both servers intend to stop at PoP, and one or two guilds aren't permitted to run wild over everyone else like they habitually are here. BDA also doesn't need to bring the entire crew since both servers allow up to threeboxing; if some people don't make the move it's not the end of the world.

Some people simply aren't interested in Sirken's concept of "enjoyable competitive raiding". We call them "normal people" outside of this hellhole. Might surprise some of the fruitcakes here but nowhere else is sitting in front of a door waiting for an audio trigger on a shared stream so you can alt-tab your window to fuck up your own framerate on a race to a mob in which you cannot let your attention slip for a second or you automatically lose for up to sixteen hours at a time for a single mob is considered normal. Step back and get a look at the forest some time. Sirken's rules are batshit insane. Yes, even if they were even worse in the past. He laughs at you for even following them. He certainly would never do them himself.

I think because the devs consider quakes 'not classic'. I'd say that FTE racing from a zoneline with myriad ambiguous rules is much further from classic than a quake based solution would be. From what I understand, Sony/Verant didn't base disputes on FTE or DPS racing back in classic. It was more a first in force rule, which admittedly was subjective. I think with quakes you'd see less competing anyways. Players will take the easy/uncontested target over trying to go for something that is contested.
