BDA to Phinigel

[AzzarTheGod]

But you stated "that should finish off phinny"

There is currently a TLP server in Kunark and general chat on phinny is still full and we are at the end of an expansion. A new expansion drops next week. When does Luclin, Chardok 2.0 or discord come out again here?

p solid dunks

[Swish]

Sorry, was just demonstrating how you know nothing about the TLP servers. You are upset that you think the servers die anytime a new server is released. You have yet to figure out that each time a server is released that is money in Daybreaks pocket. I do think the server population will take a hit by the time a year of level 70 comes around but either way the server is still going. I think a lot of people are able to keep interested in it since the unlocks are fairly short and new content is always coming unlike on p99.

https://i.imgur.com/AAfOrmV.png

Especially with whatever they release next, I think this is Phinny in the not too distant future.

Be a good sport and buy another krono though, would you?

[Mead]

And those servers have been dead since Kunark. Phinny is going into OoW with a strong population and Agnarr is probably the most popular. Turns out people like 3 month Kunark unlocks instead of 6 years 😂😂😂😂😂

He already knows they are dead because not true box. He's acknowledged it in the past.

he is right, and if its him vs swish, GO UURUK!

You would think Swish would learn after years of false facts and idiotic assumptions. Is it too late for a rabies shot?

no thread ever made it to 1,000 posts without a little cock jousting.

i think there are multiple arguments here.

1. p99 vs phinigel (the original argument)
2. p99 vs dbg (the argument that never existed until people realized a volunteer staff was more effective than a paid staff)
3. p99 vs agnarr (the continuation of the original bda vs phinigel argument since most of the hackers and trolls have transplanted from phinigel to agnarr)
4. p99 vs phinigel 2.0 (a new argument because majority of the original issues have been strapped to agnarr like a suicide bomber)

i'm not encouraging anyone to specify what they are specifically arguing. the obscurity helps weed out the latecomers to the thread. although i did want to attempt an analysis of the current thread.

As nobody not on red pays any attention to red, that's pretty much a null statement. I mean, even the digs against red are just recycled from 3 years ago without any attempt to make them current.

[mr_jon3s]

Phinny is moving to some great expansions. If you want to start now is a good time. Gonna be lvl 70 for like 9 months. Guilds are gonna be doing GoD/OoW for 3 months then OoW/DoN.

DoN was a joke but I'll admit it's nostalgic because of how bizarre it was design wise

[Daldaen]

My body is ready for OoW. Have 111 AAs banked all my Epic 1.5/2.0 steps I could farm beforehand, and 99% EXP into level.

Very much looking forward to MPG group and raid trials plus CoA aug runs and Epic 1.5/2.0 fights.

How did everyone else do on launch night?

[Daldaen]

Oh didn't they? I went to bed before they beat the expansion. What hour did AoS finish it at?

[arsenalpow]

Because Velious wasn't cleared in one day on p99? AoW only lived because we crashed Kael and ST was alive until there were enough keys.

Meh. There's worse things to do with a life.

[AzzarTheGod]

Not enjoying games enough can equally be a sign of a problem.

I was glad when Phinigel picked some people up who had clearly not been enjoying anything, maybe in years...of kunark....

At the least should be noted that not gaming is not for everyone.

RIP Bobby The Brain Heenan

[Daldaen]

Finished Epic 1.5 and 2.0 (up to needing Orb for final combine). Also picked up Ancient Heal and 45% Fire focus earring from Keldovan in anguish. Finished off all my 67 spells, need 4-64s, 6-68s, 1-69, and 4-70s + 1 Ancient to finish off OoW spells, even the trash ones.

Really need to grind out some group MPG trials one night though. Perhaps later this week I will get around to that.

Excited to farm some Anguish, especially once we get into splitting it.

[mr_jon3s]

Only hard thing about the mpg group trials is finding out that none of the casters in your group have the LDoN spells to remove curses and open chests. Still was able to complete it by just breaking open the chests and killing the dragon patrollers.

[Daldaen]

Picked up two 68 tunes and three 67 runes yesterday. WTT 67 runes for 68 or 66 runes, assuming they didn't sell in AFK Bazaar. I love me some AFK Bazaar.

Unfortunately OGC's bitching about Anguish flagging caused them to break the flag for a bit. Hopefully it's resolved tonight for raids.

Ahhh the memories. The last rune I got back on live was a level 68. I had all my level 70 runes prior to some others.

Damn those upgraded Mage pets were freaking sexy.

[Daldaen]

Druids get the shaft cause our 6th Glowing is Charm. It goes Group DS, Ice Nuke, Group HP Buff, Self Mana Regen Buff, PBAE Snare and Charm. Basically runes 3,4,6 are useful and the rest suck.

[dafier]

I also remember how much easier it was to get the mage epic items...SOLO during this time.

oh my...that was great. I remember getting ported to PoH and farming a few Male Revs and bam, Earth Staff. It didn't take long at all. lol

[mr_jon3s]

Has Anguish been fixed yet? Couldn't zone in it after the patch to farm augs.

looks like they patched agnarr so you can't MQ VP keys cause I guess they have some sort of issue with RMT? might wanna be careful with other MQs odds are they broke something unintended

What's great about BDA lackeys is they have a suggestable sheep mentality, so when the time comes to merge with a better guild and the loot council doesn't want to lose the power, they'll just move along for greener pastures :o

It's probably very accurate to say the destruction of the casual raid scene began with bda leaving the server. If that didn't happen Rustle wouldn't of had to pug ring wars.

Down to just one more Ancient Rune to be done with spells in OoW. Very exciting stuff going on.

Been running many MPG group trials, 1.5/2.0 raid fights and a few Anguish aug runs. Got plenty of AAs without even trying yesterday, it was excellent.

Anguish and Tacvi splits starting soon, should provide a real challenge for us to fully split Jelvan and South Snake and OMM. This is a great era of EQ. Can't wait for DoN/DoDH to be added into the mix.

""Everybody Have Fun Tonight" is a song performed by the British new wave group Wang Chung, released as a single from their album Mosaic in 1986. Collaboratively written by Jack Hues, Nick Feldman, and Peter Wolf, it reached #2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart on Christmas 1986 behind "Walk Like an Egyptian" by The Bangles. It also hit #1 on the Canada RPM Top 100 Singles chart the week of January 17, 1987.

After their breakup in 1991, Wang Chung reunited in 2005 to perform this song on the television show Hit Me, Baby, One More Time.

The song is featured on numerous 1980s compilation albums and still receives some radio airplay across the United States.

It has appeared in the "#2s" episode of VH1 Classic's One Hit Wonders series, even though the band had one more top 10 single, "Let's Go", in April 1987."

I did the SK 1.0 in kunark on phin, a monthish before velious. Dain's axe is a very easy replacement for it unfortunately. It looks badassl,
but definitely gets outclassed easily by any velious raid 2hander.

cuck is so 2016

[NecroP99]

I also feel cuck is becoming antiquated. It has such strong roots through, we need to propose an alternative word for Q4 2017 and beyond into 2018.

I like Incel - "Involuntary Celibate" - but I feel the community should agree together on something to replace cuck

[Papa]

as long as the new word isn't embraced r/the_donald

[nhdjoseywales]

45 krono? those are $15 each

so you are paying $675 for a digital sword, on a progression server for an 18 year old game

let that sink in a minute

Some people pay more than that for a bottle of liquor.

Has BDA started OOW raids?

They tried some trials, won a couple and have had trouble with numbers since the first 2 nights of raiding.

[Mistle]

The casuals drop off as the non nostalgic expansions proceed, the top guilds cannibalize the middle guilds to keep things rolling, and the middle and casual guilds slowly but surely fall apart.

It's following the timeline of the other progression servers to a t.

The top three or four guilds might be able to keep things together for a couple years yet. But everything below that... tick. tick. tick.

[Ravager]

There's nothing wrong with that.

[Mistle]

Nope. Have fun while it lasts, leave when it stops, as true of Phinny as it is with p99, lockjaw, fippy, agnarr or whatever. The real crime is how shitty the mmorpg optons are nowadays that we will still cast around all these servers looking for another hit.

The real crime is there would of been tons of fun to be had that is being sacrificed on the altar of elf sim legacy. I remember on diablo 2 ladder and when that shit got reset everyone was hype as fuck. We should be rerolling or resetting these servers on a regular basis and people should take breaks as needed.

kunark to omens best fun

after that no point

BDA what were you thinking moving away to a different server, only to experience content that would get stale after 18 months. You should have stayed here where the content is in a permanent stale state.

Up until six years ago I would have said Velious was the best expansion.

I was wrong. It really does not hold up. Expansion quality seems to best be described as how much further the previous content gets pushed. Velious has almost nothing over Kunark especially in regards to character advancement.

I would be surprised if ANYONE who has experienced p99 endgame and quit has ever seriously come back here. Once you have experienced better p99 just doesnt hold up.

Definitely. I raided on P99 from launch --> Kunark. Took a break after over a year of Kunark. Came back right before Velious and raided again until that got mind-numbingly boring.

Went to Phinigel. Enjoyed raiding on my own schedule and re-living some teenage nostalgia. Beat PoP and hung up the wizard hat for good. No ragrets. Was a solid year+ of fun. Definitely would never consider raiding on P99 again.

Not much to share. We went over to Phinigel with 100ish people from P99 - never really recruited the past 1.5 years on Phinigel.

As people quit the game to do other things they never really got replaced, as we were just 1 of 15-20 guilds clearing raid content on Phinigel it was difficult to bring in new blood without coldcalling like some of the bigger guilds do.

It didn't start to really affect us until end of PoP. GoD was a slog but we beat it, OoW attendance dropped a little more but enough to mean we could no longer raid on any given night.

So the Phinigel version of BDA dissolved. The people who wanted to continue raiding expansions they haven't experienced have gone to various other guilds. Some will quit and go to Agnarr or other MMOs/games. Hopefully Pantheon isn't vapor ware and all our old pals who stopped playing EQ over the years can get together there - not much more in the way of MMOs on the horizon after all.

I seriously doubt any come back to P99 though. Nothing has changed here. I'd probably check out a Green server though.

VP Key camps and Seb keys will be fun with 1000 nerds at level 51 trying to get pieces.

the guild started dying in pop. chest knew nothing about the expansion, did zero research, would spend every raid having everyone tell him every little bit of every fight or progression.

mid-pop (ldon) chest moved across the country for some lady with kids and quit leading the guild but refusing to allow anyone to make any changes that might help keep the guild stay alive or survive on phinny

god launches and chest wasn't even around. the super casual base chest had let to start take over couldn't even attend 2-3 days of raids in a row to get flags so we always needed to backflag. when chest did show up he once again had no idea what was going on, constantly whined that any fight that wasn't tank-and-spank was "gimmicky" and "stupid", and was generally just lost and refused to do anything but have people spoon feed him info, just like 95% of the rest of the guild

raids were a wreck of everyone arguing, no discipline, starting 30-45 mins late at best, and loot council giving gear to super casual players over high playtime because the guild became almost all casual players with gear so shitty they couldn't take an ae. wipes take forever to recover, people afk constantly, people don't even put any effort into their gear unless the raid hands it to them. we had like 25 steady raiders.

mid-god we lost the officer who was leading our god progression, then a lot of other high playtime people bailed to join him over the next few weeks. our steady raiders shrank even more, while chest still refused to even admit there was a problem

we never cleared all of txevu in one night (some mobs we never beat even once), we only killed tunat a handful of times. i think txevu main boss we only killed like once or twice?

come oow launch, we can't even get through trials, people aren't even trying to get thier signets (only a couple did). more of our ever-shrinking high playtime people left to other guilds, like relb. chest still refuses to admit there's a problem or that we need to change how we run things. instead just says "oh lets recruit more"

next week we were dead

basically chest killed the guild by not just refusing to actually be a leader, but by cock-blocking anyone else from leading it too. lazy asshole who didn't even want to be there, but his ego was so huge he refused to let anyone else who knew what the fuck they were talking about even try anything new

i'm glad it's finally dead so i can move on to a guild that actually has a fucking leader that has a clue what they're doing

Wait i thought phinny pop. was so robust?

[AzzarTheGod]

Wait i thought phinny pop. was so robust?

That is what I gathered from BDA TRUTH, the fact is Chest was trying to recruit, there was just nobody to actually recruit. BDA TRUTH also revealed the new recruits were what you would expect for leftover players, casuals and burnouts who can't raid more than 2 times a week which definitely doesn't get you anywhere from PoP to Omens progression while bleeding fully flagged/geared members.

This puts a whole different lens on Swish posts.

Was the pop really plummeting to the point Chest made BDA trip and fall down a couple flights of stairs, breaking both legs?

BDA should be ashamed for not playing a game they no longer want to play.

[Mistle]

Oh theres some things in here that sure ring true, believe me.


the guild started dying in pop. chest knew nothing about the expansion, did zero research, would spend every raid having everyone tell him every little bit of every fight or progression.

mid-pop (ldon) chest moved across the country for some lady with kids and quit leading the guild but refusing to allow anyone to make any changes that might help keep the guild stay alive or survive on phinny

Sounds like Chest was simply bored of EQ but hated the idea of someone else leading BDA. That's kind of weird in a way - Chest didn't found BDA, there's no reason it couldn't change leaders again.


constantly whined that any fight that wasn't tank-and-spank was "gimmicky" and "stupid"

To be fair they ARE gimmicky and stupid. WoW did gimmick raids much better (though even there I hated them), in EQ they just feel awful.


raids were a wreck of everyone arguing, no discipline, starting 30-45 mins late at best, and loot council giving gear to super casual players over high playtime because the guild became almost all casual players with gear so shitty they couldn't take an ae. wipes take forever to recover, people afk constantly, people don't even put any effort into their gear unless the raid hands it to them.

Super casuals in a nutshell. Actually, Live servers in a nutshell. Especially the afk part. In any group of six on any DBG server, expect one to be afk at all times, with a second afk more likely than not. It's not even remotely unheard of for everyone but the tank and puller be afk at the same time. None of them will be announced, of course. These aren't "twenty seconds to let the dog out" afks either, people will just leave the keyboard for half an hour or more at a time. It's so awful! People go in for loot after spending entire raids afk at zoneline. Group or raid, these super casuals just show up and expect to get gear, contribution be damned. These people didn't get in any kind of raiding guild back in the day; their reputations precluded it. Today is a different story.


mid-god we lost the officer who was leading our god progression, then a lot of other high playtime people bailed to join him over the next few weeks. our steady raiders shrank even more, while chest still refused to even admit there was a problem

In Eve we called this a failure cascade. A corp or alliance starts to lose, or stops doing fun things, a few people leave, which makes it lose more and do less, which makes more people leave, before you know it a critical point passes and everyone scatters to the winds and the corp/alliance (guild) disintegrates. It can happen slowly but it can happen very fast too.

If it makes BDA feel any better this is something being faced by every guild not in the top three or four on Phinny. The top guilds poach to maintain the numbers they need, and because you're out of PoP/LDoN, there aren't numbers from the casual base to replace them in the mid tier anymore (and the ones you do get are grossly inferior players). This was all predicted early on, of course - it happened on every progression server.


come oow launch, we can't even get through trials, people aren't even trying to get thier signets (only a couple did). more of our ever-shrinking high playtime people left to other guilds, like relb. chest still refuses to admit there's a problem or that we need to change how we run things.

Most likely long past the point of no return anyways.

[arsenalpow]

Tofu’s version is accurate, other one isn’t. My lifetime Phinny attendance was 94% (548/583) so it’s kind of hard for me to some absent guild leader lol. I had fun on Phinny, we cleared everything through GoD, killed Tacvi and Tunat weekly once we were flagged. I ran a very casual ship by design to be inclusive and some people’s priorities changed during that time and they moved on to more hardcore outfits. Is what it is.

basically chest killed the guild by not just refusing to actually be a leader, but by cock-blocking anyone else from leading it too. lazy asshole who didn't even want to be there, but his ego was so huge he refused to let anyone else who knew what the fuck they were talking about even try anything new

i'm glad it's finally dead so i can move on to a guild that actually has a fucking leader that has a clue what they're doing

I can verify every word of this is gonna be true when the crime labs come back with their full forensic report

BDA "leaders" love to cold shoulder anyone who doesn't tow the party line even when that line is a festering umbilical cord oozing hepatitis C blood

I also heard that TMO Spies have Hacked the BDA Twitter. Some pics of this would be good for the lifeblood of the BDA to Phinigel thread (dumpsterfire)

I am a BDA member who only speaks the truth AMA

[skarlorn]

are you still eating too much spinach dude

[Segemund]

BDA Member, retired after PoP. A bit of what was said by the one feller is true, not a lot of research was done by Chest. But he was busy, busy as hell.

That being said? The reason BDA fell apart wasn't necessarily because of loot or Chest, but rather, people retiring (like myself) and the remaining players being split between casual and hardcore. It's difficult to maintain a guild with a dwindling player base, your long timers retiring, and trying to balance hardcore and casual.

It was the hardcore players that carried the casual through PoP, unfortunately from PoP onward that can't happen. Thus, the guild began to falter.

I enjoyed Kunark, Velious, Luclin, and PoP in a way that I never had the opportunity to do so. I am grateful for Chest, the Officers, and the rest of the players for the opportunity to experience that with them!

Confirmed GoD burned Chest out and cockblocked BDA progression.

I remember the Chest update during halfway thru GoD now thanks to BDA TRUTH we know there was fire where we saw smoke

[Daldaen]

Will carry this post to 1000 pages.

Any of you BDA nerds got a rogue box or two. Looking to instance Cragbeast queen a few times for the pixels. Need some rogue DPS to counteract that regen.

Also wouldn't mind doing some Yxtta Primals instancing for them AC Augments.

This was sent to me and asked to be posted anonymously:

the guild started dying in pop. chest knew nothing about the expansion, did zero research, would spend every raid having everyone tell him every little bit of every fight or progression.

mid-pop (ldon) chest moved across the country for some lady with kids and quit leading the guild but refusing to allow anyone to make any changes that might help keep the guild stay alive or survive on phinny

god launches and chest wasn't even around. the super casual base chest had let to start take over couldn't even attend 2-3 days of raids in a row to get flags so we always needed to backflag. when chest did show up he once again had no idea what was going on, constantly whined that any fight that wasn't tank-and-spank was "gimmicky" and "stupid", and was generally just lost and refused to do anything but have people spoon feed him info, just like 95% of the rest of the guild

raids were a wreck of everyone arguing, no discipline, starting 30-45 mins late at best, and loot council giving gear to super casual players over high playtime because the guild became almost all casual players with gear so shitty they couldn't take an ae. wipes take forever to recover, people afk constantly, people don't even put any effort into their gear unless the raid hands it to them. we had like 25 steady raiders.

mid-god we lost the officer who was leading our god progression, then a lot of other high playtime people bailed to join him over the next few weeks. our steady raiders shrank even more, while chest still refused to even admit there was a problem

we never cleared all of txevu in one night (some mobs we never beat even once), we only killed tunat a handful of times. i think txevu main boss we only killed like once or twice?

come oow launch, we can't even get through trials, people aren't even trying to get thier signets (only a couple did). more of our ever-shrinking high playtime people left to other guilds, like relb. chest still refuses to admit there's a problem or that we need to change how we run things. instead just says "oh lets recruit more"

This is exactly how it was. Chest was moving across the country for 2 or 3 weeks, so some officers stepped up to handle the GoD launch. Early gates wasnt bad imo. We wiped alot and shit took longer than it should have, but the officers were doing a really good job with morale, and keeping things light. When chest came back it was a complete flip. He tried to grab control of everything without knowing wtf was going on and discord became unbearable. The first long time member from p99 left at that point, and it was a turning stone. I personally knew this was the beginning of the end. I'm not sure if he even killed tunat with us before he left.

[NecroP99]

Good riddance to an awful guild from 2011ish, funny how all the old members whp stood up for that circus ended up leaving :D

Yea they only made it 7 years of having fun playing video games - what a train wreck

[khysanth]

I left after we beat PoP and really enjoyed my time experiencing TLP. BDA as a community lives on, just no longer raiding on Phinny. Sorry if that triggers anyone.

[Mead]

I don't understand why you assholes didn't just get rid of Chest and reform. If he was the biggest reason for inhibiting your progress, it sounds like a no-brainer to me. It was done with a guild I was in a long time ago and that guild is still alive from my knowledge. It's probably easier to just bitch and complain without actually doing anything meaningful about it.

[bda_truth]

Got a round of responses. I was not going to continue proxying, but hell, why not?

tofu is talking out of his ass. we had tons of recruits through-out our phinny run. more were only from phinny than weren't. some of us box too which filled out the raid but chest preferred giving loot to stupid 'i raid once a month' people over boxes that had way more value. but when you open the door to any shitty player, it drags everyone down, and we were constantly suffering from that

k2summit had his info a little wrong - chest had moved months before god launch, during middle of pop. at god launch i think he said work had him busy

chest said he "ran an inclusive ship", but you can't run a ship if you're not online. he boasts his raid attendance, but he was a complete ghost outside of raid times after his move. he was never online and even late to raids. you can't run shit if you don't know shit, and he didn't know anything about any of those expansions nor cared to find out. he assumes every guld that was better than bda (read: almost all of them) were "mercanary" guilds (his word) that all hated each other, and that the way bda was "ran" was the only way to do it. stupid as fuck, so interest died in his ever-worsening shit show and good players ran from his nonsense

phinny pop went from 19 guilds in god clearing to 16 in omens, so tons of population. chest just had no idea how to keep the guild successful, that's why it failed, not due to population. chest never tried to recruit, you have to be online outside of raids or post on forums to actually recruit, but we still had apps, including a bunch of mostly fucking garbage tier apps that got left behind from that cult of chaos guild

phinny pop will continue to shrink, but 16 guilds clearing content is still a ton (and the top guilds split content meaning they have multiple raid forces at that)

also lol at banning relb, captain butthurt manchild strikes. his lordship's ego is bruised and doesn't like being called out for having no fucking clue how to do actual work to keep a guild alive in a game that you just don't zerg recruit everyone and still manage to kill things and there's no actual gear progression because content is stale. everyone that is still playing is now talking about how great their new guilds are because the new guilds have actual leaders

Would it have mattered though? If the true critical problem is there was no quality recruits coming in, leadership kinda stops mattering once you're below critical mass.

The thing is what does BDA or any mid tier guild offer to someone who wants to raid? Nothing over the top guilds thats for sure. And its not exactly hard to get in those guilds.

If BDA wanted to maintain itself past the casual expansions it needed to go hardcore and recruit hard, and it needed to demonstrate it had everything on farm. But that is not what BDA has been for a very long time.

[Rivera]

When this gets to 999 pages, a mod should close it.

BDA offered long-standing political leverage with the leadership. The trick is to drink the kool-aid and convince yourself that you like the circle of officers at the very top. You hang out with them in vent as they talk about football and magic the gathering and suddenly the vacuous hole in your social life is filled with a bunch of chair-bound nerds breathing into mics as their greasy fingers tap push to talk so they can say things about drugs and the latest sport.

It's not about being good at your hobby (video games). It's not about winning. You have to pretend not to care so much that you're unwilling to try, even though you still get mad when a more skilled video hobbyist cucks you. It's about the "family" and being a part of "the BDA team."

"It's OK to be bad if we're all bad together, because then we have friends and those people who are better at us and spend the same amount of effort obviously must not have friends or social capacity" - the BDA party line that sustained it for 4 years.

I don't event knowwhats happening in this thread. Less talk about Chest and more talk about Epic 1.5/2.0 adventures, CoA aug runs with 1-2 groups and splitting Anguish.

Split Jelvan and OMM recently with about 30 toons in each split. Was some good fun! Fortunately instances allow us to split our raid force up and never have anyone sit out, plus it increases pixel intake and most importantly provides a challenge that isn't really present with a full raid after the big DPS upgrades from classic OoW til now in the EQ Code.

[Mead]

You should probably be paying attention to what’s going on in this thread. It sounds like there’s a good recruiting opportunity for you.

lame. come back when u on drugs, ok? :)

[skarlorn]

all right sorry about that

Get high on opioid pain killers and write us a role play story captain o captain. Hope the post op swelling is going down

[Kushie]

We had a lot of fun Kunark -> OoW. Chest had no prior knowledge of GoD/OoW but in no way did that hold us back. We killed 3 Zun`Murams and countless Tunats. I can't say we wiped very often, especially once we established a clear winning strategy. We never attempted any fights we didn't have the numbers for.

Truth is Phinigel is a wasteland from level 1-60 - literally no new people starting the server because of Agnarr and the fun expansions have passed. People burn out or want a more hardcore farming experience, first leaving us in the 40s and then the 30s on raid nights. There isn't warm bodies to replace the natural decay and twice a week raiding isn't enough for most active players.

I'm pretty excited to have a break from raiding and pick up gaming with the BDA crew on future games. Winter is coming

[Segemund]

Can confirm - will stick in the Discord and hope for Pantheon. People were great for the most part.

i never did figure out if that person bought the sk 1.0 epic for 45 krono

seems like DBG killed phinigel which in turn killed bda

blame chest all you want but if he was as MIA as some are suggesting he couldn't have been that kingpin krono farmer that gave the server aids

[Valakut]

btw anyone get server first 8700k running p99? plz screenshot

I wasn’t MIA. I thought we established that.

Enjoyed my time with BDA very much. Luclin, surprisingly, turned out to be my favorite expansion on phinny. BDA never changed from its casual style and GoD-OoW is where casual guilds go to die. Feel like I was more on the hardcore side of the guild, but I'm not mad. Not much of a story.

Chest doesn't have to explain shit about taking a week off for his personal life to you cockroaches.
