Aye, the visible shaking and flavor text is what I was referring to, how those interruptions back then could have been clevery worded/portrayed to tie in with the lore, instead of just warning players that the servers were coming down. But maybe they informed players differently on Firiona Vie.

I didn't play on FV a ton, but I did have a toon there and I'm pretty sure they got the same "Server coming down for maintenance in 15 minutes, please camp somewhere safe" messages as everyone else. Visible "earthquakes" would definitely have been a lot more fun though [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Been saying that for a while but Zuranthium still insists hijacking threads <shrugs> guess he views its as attention to his ideology/ manifesto.

You're calling something stupid because it gets in the way of your brainless pixel farming. The irony. The transparency.

Nobody NEEDS that loot. It's a fucking fabricated superficiality. Nor does anyone deserve to get it simply because they sat on their ass. The point of the game is not supposed to be grinding linearly from one boring camp to the next. That's what destroyed the MMORPG genre. What happiness in life is there in being a top geared toon, when it leads to nothing? What are you going to DO with the gear? Without PvP, or some kind of other purpose, gear is meaningless. And in a good game, you would never be asked to pointlessly grind for gear in the first place.

The real excitement, and thus purpose of playing the game, is supposed to be in what you had to do to obtain the prize (gear). In the memorable story and unexpected twists that came from the journey. In the way you as a player needed to think and adapt, to overcome the obstacle. Needing to compete for the gear makes it memorable. Granted, DPS race is not nearly as exciting as full PvP (when it's decently balanced*), but it's something. It means you never know exactly what you're going to be facing, and you need to plan how to maximize your time and abilities and opportunities. It might mean abandoning the camp if you don't think you have a good chance, and figuring out where else you can succeed in the game world, at that point in time.

Karana shits on Innoruuk. By the time the winds of the wilds have finished blowing you to the ground, you will be begging for the sweet release of the storm, to abandon the ways of hate and let the rain fall freely across your face.
