Fippy could have been much better, too bad nitwit raiders rushed the progression every 3 months because they were in a hurry to get to shit expansions

What exactly unlocked each expansion, pardon my ignorance, never played on fippy.

I believe defeating certain bosses (determined by SoE) for each expansion unlocked the next expansion

[Millburn]

Fippy was time locked progression, so once certain encounters were beat it would initiate a countdown timer. Once that timer has passed the server got to vote on if the next expansion would come out or not. If it didn't pass then a new timer would be put in place before a new vote would take place.

[Sarius]

Once a certain target was killed a 3 month timer started, after which progression would be decided by a vote of all lvl 20+ characters

And I was wrong...progression did not kill Fippy, it was the boxing and RaF that did.

Fippy did not die to progression, boxing, or RaF. That conversation and circumstance defined a group of some 150-300 people, not the 3k+ that were playing.

Fippy died to platinum inflation via exploitation thru
1) fire opals
2) eggs
3) alchemy recipes

I reported the fire opal exploit myself. Eggs was widespread as well. Alchemy was the best kept secret and was the true killer. I knew several people who pumped 10+ million into the server. To give you reference, I was the richest person on Fippy pre-exploits, or, without using exploits. My mount of cash at the peak was something like 500kpp in 2 months, which is absurd. When that exploitation went wild my pile went to near useless as it suffered a degradation of a full order of magnitude of buying power. THAT is what killed Fippy.

The fact that sony's server's got hacked and kept people from logging in for several weeks was the final straw. Fippy death had absolutely nothing to do with the raid scene, at all.

damn tomtee. you did yer research. all true, too. that alchemist bug is what made me realize, shit, this server is not gonna be real. which led to all kinds of mayhem.

RnF was a cancer on that server for sure but I have a hard time saying if it was a symptom or a cause.
