All these stories make me laugh. Everyones got their own version. Can't say its been fun reading an entire summers worth of shit talk from kids when theres no red box to play on. Guess we'll find out soon enough who's all bark and no bite.

the only players that will have 'bite' on a server like this for the first 6 months will be casters and guild clusters. i can crush end game on a melee once I get some resist gear, but im just a sitting duck untill then.

No worries there won't be any YT it seems.

I've made a living off making pronouncements that always come true...not because i'm smart, but because i'm not ignorant.

When disobeyed and my word is born out, I have always come back to make fun and say "i told you so"

If there is no YT or no leaderboard, this server is already dead in the water.

You heard it here first.

And i will come back in 6 months and make fun of those who didn't listen.

Count on it.

I mean least code it so that YT doesn't say what zone your in.

I won't go as far as agreeing with Macken that the server will fail. But it just makes things more entertaining for all. Global Chat as well.

Like Searyx stated even MJ talked shit. Its part of the game. Don't mute the shit talkers just the cheaters.

Leaderboard killed box 1.0 when it was implemented. I remember telling the devs that before they implemented it and subsequently posted proof of our numbers during downtime going down from ~20-30 to literally 0.

They removed it accordingly

Stop shitting up these threads bro. Rogean might take you seriously.

idk i just think that r99 is a hoax, i don't believe its going to happen....

I respect your opinion JD, but i believe you are wrong.

It was 1.0 and it wasn't there on launch.

After raping the server with Heresy I took 3 months off and was disinterested until someone called me up and told me they launched a board. I logged on that day. Now you know why i believe different.

I feel that we are all truly pvpers..even Harrison. We are all just in different stages of metamorphosis. After your pupa stage, you will realize that the more rewards there are for pvp, the longer you can stay interested...for say like 10 years.

2.0 they also posted individual and guild pvp points once.

The fallout from that is legendary. Alot of fun has been had over that. I would go so far enough to say it's part of 2.0 lore.

How else could you tease Salty so much over fish bait?

Just sayin'

On one hand i feel the people in charge are so talented and i am jealous a little of their ability to program. I look up to them in that regard.

But, on the other hand, i wonder just how ignorant you would have to be to not understand that awards and recognition are paramount in life.

Did you not get a ceremony and diploma for graduating kindergarten? Did you not get a ceremony for High School or college. Did you never get any badges rewards or recognition for any group you have been a part of? Ever heard of the Academy Awards? Grammy's? People's Choice? Yearly meetings where those of a group who were outstanding were recognized? Ever won a trophy? Ever made the cut for a sports team? Ever won a sports league and went to the awards ceremony?

Have any of you ever been recognized for anything ever in your life and experienced the emotion and feeling of satisfaction of your accomplishments?

How can you be so talented in one highly specialized area yet be so ignorant about simple life lessons?

You can continue to make the colossal mistake of catering to those who won't play long anyway, or you can recognize that catering to those who are weak encourages apathy and amateurism and that fact that they whine and cry means they will just whine and cry about something else after you pacify them.

Keep catering to those crybabies and you will look ignorant to more than just those of us who are wise.

Believe it.

No Macken, you're just wrong.

PvP in itself is the reward. Your reputation is your reward in the community. People get to know you for your actual skill as a player, not how many times you can gank someone.
