BDA to Phinigel

[Raev]

Rumor, which runs before us like a barking dog, has hinted the Chest Rockwell has fled to the Phinigel progression server taking his cult, err I mean his guild with him.

Is there any truth to these rumors? Will BDA implode? Will Aftermath absorb the remnants? Is Phinny super classic or not so much? Will CSG follow them? Can we get more corgi pictures? The public needs to know!

p99. the server where failure to fix classic raiding issues is a feature, not a bug. I said it when I first found this joint:

In the end, having to deal with Sirken, his completely unwarranted ego given his awful performance as a GM, and inability to comprehend what it is like to play on this server's endgame proved too much. I have a ton of respect for the people who are so loyal to their friends that they put up with the insane bullshit this server requires of you to actually have any fun on it at high end, but the retarded sixteen hour variance and the hundreds of man-hours required to have reasonable chances to just have a single fun raid proved too much for BDA in the end, and broke the will of too many people who contributed the most to play at all.

Who knows if Phinny ends up being the answer. It has its own problems. I dont know if I will like it right to the end. But I can already tell one thing from it - it's sure the fuck run better than the disgrace Sirken has turned this into.

No matter what problems the players here have with each other, the true cancer is the GM. Best of luck you guys who still have to deal with him, you're a more patient player than me.

I wouldn't put it all on Sirken. The raid scene is horrendous, there's zero path of progression for any guild that's not willing to do what A/A are doing. Succumbing to that playstyle will eat people alive. It's not fair to place that kind of burden on an officer to make all that shit happen. It's on the players that continue to make the raid scene miserable, Sirken for condoning, and the devs for not caring either way.

P99 is classic as fuck, if you put blinders on and just grind with some friends up through the 50s or so you'll have fun, but don't ever ever ever think about actually raiding. It's cancerous.

[Rampage]

Phinigel though? You got Uthgard launching in like 5 hours. Aren't EQ progression servers just as poopy? I remember seeing 200 people camping Noble on there.

Hope you guys find something worthwhile to play.

Phinigel has highly contested open world raid pops but in addition has instanced versions of all the raid mobs. So the hardcore neckbeards that do all the extra "work" get more pixels but it still allows the casual scum to experience the fucking game. Win/Win for everyone.

[Swish]

Page 3 and still cant tell if this is a troll thread... but let me get this straight.

1. BDA disband the Class R rotation in Kunark to prepare the other Class R guilds for Velious raiding. (we know it was bullshit and just a pixel grab for guaranteed 1 in 3 class R dragons + possible FFA targets)

2. Velious hits, BDA numbers tail off as they dont have the welfare pixels anymore, they cant keep up with the top guilds and everyone knows there wont be another rotation after they shit on the last one.

3. The leadership, faced with this...LEAVES???

You idiots, I'm laughing so hard :D I'm sure theres a lesson in there somewhere :o
























Seriously though, probably a troll thread....funny nonetheless.

I'll laugh if in a year most of the casuals here have left to phinny and people here will be crying about how the pop is too low or some shit. TBH I think this bda move to phinny could be a big blow to this servers pop if other guilds follow their lead.

Yup. Keep driving people off the server because you're a bunch of man children.

[bktroost]

Holy shit..... Now we need Nemce to understand this.

I really enjoy competition. I remember the days of inny 1.0 where you could either sit at the WC spire like a neckbear or you could raid something with a wizard in every group during the window and as soon as it pops everyone teleports up instantly. I loved playing the bard that would selos to fountain, up to inny room hit DA song and rush back to east wall and then head north along the edge. Pop selos. Pop a blademail once or twice, pop another DA idol as you kite around the edge of the zone. Meanwhile everyone else is rushing to innies room trying to tag him first and blow him up without losing FTE and someone else getting it. DTs are going off and dps are scrambling to get in line while tanks mallet secure mobs. All the while the bard is owning the entire zone in a perfect kite that could last forever. Then clean up and bard caps after everyone ports out.

Everyone had a part in that raid. Everyone was on point. Everyone actually got to PLAY EQ and there was real competition.

What I don't like on this server is the 16 hours of sitting on a line with cheap crap like training other guilds in order to secure a mob for yourselves or sitting every raid member in a room to stare at a wall the entire fight.

That's incredibly boring. How many of your clerics have any idea what happens beyond the entrance room? I mean that has to only be fun for the monks and now maybe a few others who can FTE the mobs in the race.

The game feels hollow now. The adventure is gone.

Skewed rose colored glasses... Same exact shit was done waiting for that Innoruuk that your so nostalgic about. You waited 16 hours for a pop, someone trained mobs around, someone pulled the target out, and everyone else killed it.

[Danth]

Yup. Keep driving people off the server because you're a bunch of man children.

It's been obvious for awhile that the staff here is okay with the status quo. If you want change, polite discourse and trying to work within the system won't accomplish that. If anything can get the admins' attention it'll take something drastic. Too bad only BDA is switching away; if half a dozen or so of the larger lower- to mid-tier guilds could get together and leave for awhile maybe the shock would be sufficient to induce action.

Seems to me, looking in from the outside (I don't really raid), that Velious is different than P99 was in Kunark. TMO lorded it over the server during Kunark for quite a long time, but it seemed like the mid-tier guilds held out hope that Velious would change things. Now it appears they see that Velious has changed very little--but with nothing else to look forward to and no source of hope.

[Jaxon]

The feeling of teamwork and accomplishment during raiding did not die with Velious. The competition you seek was always there in TOV before there were Sirken races, but even so success still requires alert raiders and not drooling zombies. Maybe you should come to Fear one day and try for CT.

Also it's really odd to see you eulogizing training half the zone in one sentence and then decrying it as the death of raiding in the next.

[Raev]

Yup. Keep driving people off the server because you're a bunch of man children.
You did exactly the same thing in Class R, and I still say if you had not done that the raid scene now would be very different. I really don't think BDA can claim the moral high ground here.

but it seemed like the mid-tier guilds held out hope that Velious would change things
I'm not sure it's hope as much as just the feeling that server is over, and contrary to the bleatings of certain RNF trolls IB/Rampage won. I mean, what's the point of getting full BIS gear when there is no new expansion on the horizon where that gear will matter?

[Ella`Ella]

Chest finally snapped?

[Mistle]

Having pretty much beaten Velious at this point, I'm kinda curious to see Luclin/PoP

Thats just it really. Now that there is nothing nostalgic left about P99s Velious and it can be seen for what it really is, it really feels hollow. Dead even. I cant really advance my main anymore, sure theres some gear with more mana on it but thats about it. I was one of those who defended this P99 timeline as the golden age of EQ in the past, but... I think it only felt that way because there wasnt better examples set yet. I *want* aa, and focus effects. Better zones and better raids, and so much more gear variety. I had already been sniffing at Phinny even before BDA leadership decided to try this.

A few months ago I would have looked at leaving P99 for Phinny as giving up the fight, letting our morale be broken and beaten down by rival guilds, for easier pixels. Not now. There are those who right now are smiling and thinking about how they have defeated a rival. That is not how it feels to me. At this point, I simply dont understand how literally anyone can think this situation here is better than any of the alternatives. Sirken's P99 is the absolute worst case scenario. It is relief above everythig to get away from his Vision. I think other guilds with strong internal community will see, or is already seeing the draw as we speak. A year from now theres a decent chance I'll be killing gods in elemental planes while guys here are still sitting in front of doors watching them open and close, open and close for sixteen straight hours... apparently Sirken's idea of healthy gameplay. I'm sorry, but when you look at it in that context, it sure doesnt look like the 'defeated' BDA is the one getting the short end of the stick...

I know it's always fun to talk about how the rotation fell apart, but it took two to tango. Maybe BDA/Div/Taken were being unreasonable, but the smaller guilds weren't making it easy either. That doesn't really matter now though.

The P99 raid scene isn't changing, period. If I want to see content without dumping in hundreds of manhours of my guildmates I can do it at Phinny with my guild. It's not P99, which sucks, but it's the right move for a casual playerbase, with an intolerable high end raid scene, and a GM that condones the entire thing.

Vote with your feet people. It's the only option you have.

[Raev]

I don't understand why you have this hard on for Sirken. I would have done things differently but I think Sirken is the only member of the staff who is actually trying to improve things, and there is only so much he can do without the keys to the repop machine or the ability to alter the game mechanics.

The root problem IMO is simply that P1999 is reaching the end of it's lifetime.

I'd join BDA if I played on the Phinny server.

I was kind of mad at Chest about the rotation ordeal, but I was kind of mad at everyone for not playing nice together and compromising in the middle, including the small guilds. I was kind of mad at BDA leapfrogging A-Team on Yael once by parachuting in before we engaged.

Other than that, BDA has always seemed pretty reasonable to me.

Training is Okay and completely fine if you control it. Backwash always hits people in ToV and that's illegal. I could kite fear and old hate for hours until people left the zone. In ToV you have no control. I'm very transparent and very consistent.

[Ravager]

I don't think so. A-Team made a tremendously reasonable proposal. In hindsight I don't think BDA and Taken should ever have been allowed to go Class R.

Everyone started class r by default, there was no "allowed". Killing a class c mob is what made you class c. With or without the rotation, the class system worked as scripted.

I've read on rerolled that XP is same solo as it is in groups yes? Making it actually slower to solo? Kind of a deal breaker for those who can't even duo.

This right here. I don't understand why more of you people logjammed at the top end aren't finding some other game.

The only thing I would omit is the "unfortunately". I think it's great that we're playing an MMO with an actual end of the line. And it's more than a little weird to me that other people don't think the same thing.

It's a game. Games should have ends.

If you hired a lawyer to give you that opinion I'd fire him for incompetence. Backwash in TOV is de facto legal. If anything you should know by now that being a roadblock between a guild and their dragon pull doesn't get you any sympathy from GMs.

Anyway training is nice when everything goes perfectly but it's very easy to make a misstep. I've been in my share of Inny encounters that were total train fests.

And then there are times when the other raid force moves through your train's path and picks up sit or combat aggro or something. When you eventually you lose control by dying to an unlucky root or stun, or from the other raid building up too much hate, the train wrecks them.

Naturally, they shouldn't have been in your way in the first place.

It's unfortunate because some of us have been in an absolutely ridiculous amount of hours into this game. Seeing it through to the end was something I wanted to do, but it's bittersweet.

From what I understand those type of guilds already exist on Phinny. But sure bring it on. The more people that quit P99 in disgust of how ridiculous the raid scene has become the better chance something is done to fix it.

Aye, was started, in part, by a bunch of old school IB. They dominate whatever server they go to. Not sure if it's p99 levels of neckbeard, but it's up there.

[arsenalpow]

Apparently there's a neckbeard guild over there that dominates the non-instanced mobs fairly easily. Don't think BDA or Detoxx has to worry about that.

Non-instanced mobs respawn every 24 hours or something, on top of 6.5 day lockouts for raid mobs. There's plenty of big competent guilds that split their raids in half, kill all of VP twice, as well as every other dumb Kunark target. Raiding isn't like p99, the encounters are different and challenging in their own ways and other players aren't the primary bottleneck.

wtf class do I play? Chanter in Velious and beyond is about the most boring thing in the world. Are Iksar Monks already super overpopulated?

every. single. class. is raid relevant. Necros and SKs topping the DPS charts, wizards critting already. AC matters, knights can actually tank, non-clerics actually heal. It's different than P99 but it's balanced in it's own way.

I just really, really don't wanna do the ENC epic again. If they're that OP in Luclin and beyond, I think I could stomach it though. I never played one til p99.

Raiding isn't like p99, the encounters are different and challenging in their own ways and other players aren't the primary bottleneck.

They've beefed old content by giving it higher mitigation and making it hit harder. They've recently made boss spells hit harder, as well as made them harder to resist. It's still easy if you're good and know how to manage your people.

All in all, shits on the p99 raid scene. I wish one of the neckbeard p99 guilds would come to Phinny to challenge the Phinny top dog guild. Would be awesome.

Naw. As of the current Kunark content, they'll be fine. It's harder than P99 Kunark, but there's other perks that make the game easier to manage. Things start to get harder at the high end of Velious and beyond. Luclin will be the true challenge for a lot of guilds. Until then it's cruise control, as long as you have the numbers.

I'm in one of the two Euro guilds. Nothing special. But my SK is beef as fuck. And that's one of the draws of the server. You don't have to be neckbeard to progress your toon. You just do it a lot slower than the neckbeards, but i'm ok with that.

[Swish]

My only regret is not forseeing this happening and starting a guild up called Bregan D`Aerth (and BDA, and any other variations).

Seriously though, you don't get a rotation or "easy mode" so you leave the server? Yeah blame the staff, totally their fault you didn't want to contest :o

BDA couldn't even beat 17 year old content on p99. That's why they are still stuck getting kunark mobs 9 months after Velious comes out. Anyone who follows chest is a faggot that loves getting a dick shoved up their ass by a dude who thinks he is a pro wrestler.

strong take right there

[Fifield]

I broke my menu bar and can't get it back

we had that happen to us, you have delete your characters .ini file. It resets your UI and settings but it will bring that bar back.

Kinda silly but thats how you fix it.

[Pezy]

The real question here is..

wtf class do I play? Chanter in Velious and beyond is about the most boring thing in the world. Are Iksar Monks already super overpopulated?

Monks are super fucking OP because their epic fists over there are like 23/26 vs the 9/16 they are here. That shits all over even Velious BIS. Can't even imagine being a Rogue over there, being outdps'd by every scaley motherfucker around until late Luclin.

[Nibblewitz]

Not sure why you are dragging all of BDA into this; Chest through up his hands at blue and his loyalists followed.

[Culkasi]

Not sure why people even want to rile up that old shit. BDA has done the most sane thing and moved to a server that is less classic but a lot more sane.
Good on them, really, if you want to raid in somewhat classic Everquest, its the way to go apparently. I know Swish has a hard-on for BDA, but they are the ones making the smart play here.

Won't be disbanding just going much more casual I think

[xexbis0]

This is a great opportunity for the new officers to step up and tell us about the new look BDA.

BDA will either force Awakened and Aftermath, particularly the former lately, to stop gobbling up everything on the server. How you ask? Don't be surprised to see more go to Phinny. So from my position, you can make fun of BDA all you want, but the more guilds get a taste of how fruitless this whole thing is and how this miasma of egos is a fucking tasteless joke, the less A/A get to lord over. Choke em out. "There are no handouts on p99 or whatever bullshit A/A want to spew." That's cool. It's funny. Class R was against a variance reduction cause they were afraid that their little piece of the pie would get gobbled up. They were right. Shorter big name windows = more free time to go raid the rest. VS going three days just fucked the rest of the server cause it's not on same timeline as ToV on resets. It's a game after all. Pretty soon it will be a dick swinging contest of 2. So from my position Swish LOLBDAWINS. They woke us up.

[Gimp]

There's a lot more than 3 that have followed suit in the past few days. A lot more.

[Expediency]

How willfully ignorant are you?

Shorter variance means everything is going to be on the same day. Meaning that a_random_trashy_ntov_dragon could be ignored because A/A are going for CT or tormax for instance.

VS dying again to A/A is because he simply isn't on the same day as more important things or anything is going on. VS made from 7 day to 3 day spawn has nothing to do with variance.

Long variance guarantees the win for A/A. They got the resources to cover those 16 hours that the smaller guilds can't. Spawn times and the "value" of the mobs can get spread around such that, it would be acceptable to maybe loose out on a_random_trashy_ntov_dragon to scoop up say a_better_VP_dragon or trakanon.

Where do ya'll make your sigs? They're quite nice!

[nicemace]

i was casually playing phinny while raiding with ramp.

its very fun. the mobs are buffed so they complete walkovers (although still not very hard) ... but when was the last time you killed a mob in A/A expecting a challenge ? lol.

guilds are split raiding trak/gore/sev/tal at the moment (so split their raid into two instances doing low number kills) which is always more fun than 150 people killing a dragon while 120 sit by waiting to see if they somehow make a mistake.

the socking still happens in open world but its not extreme. my guild has killed open world gore / trak etc a bunch of times just as we were running to our instanced raid.

gimp: the ench epic is a shit fight at the moment. VT is camped socked by 40 people at the moment all trying to get it. however ench is the most desired class at the moment.

its a great server and i'd recommend it to anyone thats sick of the socking on p99. its not even real competition. its just a series of dice rolls after x number of hours.

[Raev]

I think the vast majority of people would rather have 50% less classic, a fully functioning GUI, and instances than hundreds of hours tracking per week and 4AM batphones. I have heard rumblings that CSG was thinking about starting their own server. It would not surprise me at all if they follow BDA to Phinny, or Anonymity, or whoever else.

I'm not sure why you think this will change the server though. The server population dropping to 800 online at peak would be the solution, not the problem. I'm guessing that A/A will duel it out until one of them breaks and they merge (probably 4-6 months away). At that point we'd have one monster guild getting 80% of the pixels and 3-4 smaller guilds farming HOT and picking up a few targets here and there when they decide to play variance quest, and the server staff being reasonably satisfied with that. They would at least get fewer petitions :D

Haven't been in A/A, but I get the feeling that a lot of what drives them is trying to beat the other "a"," and if one of them starts to slip and lose merbs, they'll probably lose members to the other one, snowballing the effect. Once a merge or whatever happens a lot of them will lose the will to keep going. TMO kept going cause there was that carrot of "velious" on the horizon. Maybe we'd drop to 800 pop or something when the merge happens, but I don't really see another competitor popping up to challenge whatever "A" guild is left, and you'll start to see numbers really fall off then.

The community here is a living thing. Even though it doesn't seem like much, just going into EC and seeing the same 10 people spamming shit is life, and people play here for the life the community has. As people start to log in and see less and less of it, whether it be EC spam or groupage in CoM, they'll start to leave too. Lower pop is NOT the answer, just look at red.

Phinny was OK for a bit. The progression is a blessing and curse. It is a blessing in that you always have something on the horizon to look forward to, it’s a curse because you know all your gear will be dog shit in a few weeks…

Overall it wasn’t what I was looking for, and instanced raiding is actually pretty lame once you do it a few cycles.

I will probably come back when I can make a Beastlord…at least try it out again. The leveling process in EQ is just so brutal…starting over sucks and can be quite daunting.

Maybe I can join bdGAY

Speaks volumes to where EQ Live was headed when the interest level in progression servers tamper off when they get past planes of power. If fact, they have to keep releasing progression servers to keep the hype going as people re-live the early expansions over and over again.

I rarely play on p99 anymore and when I do I just Fuck around on an alt. Just trying to enjoy EQ I guess. To the morans saying BDA threw in the towel. It's called reality. They want some EQ, but don't like the current engame of their server. They did what any rational human being does, you remove yourself from situations you find uncomfortable.

dunno about that guy, but Xegony was this way. One guild monopolized end game content and everyone else picked up what they could. But the other guilds couldn't even really compete, so it wasn't that much of an issue. Smaller guilds spent what time they had gearing up and working through strategies on whatever boss they were trying at the time, and never got to "the end" before a new xpac was released.

Let's be honest, this server hasn't been EQ in a very long time. A lot of us just went along with it because it was different, and at some times could be very fun. I really enjoyed VP races. I really enjoyed Kael races at first, but they're just not the same.

Don't get me wrong. Racing can be fun. It's just nothing to make a career out of. It also seems to me, arbitrary. Why not do a god damn math test to decide who gets the mob? Or maybe we should all just wip it out and measure our combined penis sizes, and the most inches gets to fight the dragon.

How bad are the bot armys on phinny? Does the fact you actually have to pay keep the 1 man guilds away?

Phinny is restricted to 1 account per pc. So to box you have to run multiple PC's. I've seen one or two people 2 boxing. Never seen a 3+ boxer since I started. Although I've heard of somebody that 4 boxes.

It's nothing like the box armies you may have seen on Ragefire or Lockjaw with like 18 accounts on 1 PC with box software.

Isn't that what happened?

[nicemace]

Phinny is restricted to 1 account per pc. So to box you have to run multiple PC's. I've seen one or two people 2 boxing. Never seen a 3+ boxer since I started. Although I've heard of somebody that 4 boxes.

It's nothing like the box armies you may have seen on Ragefire or Lockjaw with like 18 accounts on 1 PC with box software.

i 6 box cause i play late night and i dislike sitting LFG for hours on end (it does happen).

there aren't the 30+ box armies like on ragefire or lockjaw because as lololol says you need an additional computer to run extra accounts.

a lot of the time its more effort than its worth, but its good when cant get a group and $$$

as for paying... yeah you don't pay. you can buy monthly subs off other players called Krono for ingame plat. Currently 8k plat will get you a monthly sub, that will increase however.

yes there are boxers, power levellers, plat farmers soloing camps. but because there are /picks (these are open world instances) of many of the popular zones its no way near as disruptive as on P99. ive seen 20+ instances of seb before. ive had a instance all to myself in the late night.

if you're down for just playing casual or semi serious without bullshit or even super serious without bullshit. its all available on phinny.

if any p99 pals play hit me up. im happy to PL a bit and help out with some starting coin to get some basic items.

[JurisDictum]

I have to say, you just figured this out....


give me a moment.. wait, you just figured this out?

How do you think IB got to RMT thrice- while TMO was banned for not ever RMT'ing.

There's little evidence IB likes this style of play more...they usually were the first to quit out of the two.

Let's be honest. The raid scene in Velious was destroyed the second some genius came up with the idea to form a super guild to run rampant over all of the content uncontested for months on end the second it was released. It's not like the server had been waiting years for the content. Let's call waking the Sleeper what it was as well. A dick move. Those guys just HAD to have one last "fuck you" moment in the sun. Rampage is the most disgusting thing to ever happen to this server. Talk to most of them. They believe they are god's gift to EQ as well.

BTW, you're fooling yourself if you think Breaken or Taken is running Awakened. I don't even need to explain how worthless Asgard truly is and how they've been carried by Forsaken. They can't even debate it. They just call you a dumb dumb for bringing it up. Same players. Different guilds. As it's been for years.

Worst of all, I've seen some very nice people (to be honest the coolest group of people I've been around since MMOing) become some very entitled and huge dicks that buy into this whole "dick swinging feud". I don't recognize most.

"if the decent into total addiction was 12 steps, what # step is the step you take right before losing your job over Everquest?" – Iruinedyourday

An interesting question. I believe this is the progression one needs to follow in order to achieve total immersion. Please feel free to add your thoughts (Not you Caldabolg - you pathetic piece of sh!t).

1) Installing Project 1999
2) Reaching level 50 on your first character
3) Joining a raiding guild
4) Getting on the Batphone list
5) First time you call in sick for the sole purpose of socking a raid mob
6) Quickly leaving a real life social event to answer a Batphone summons
7) Playing more than 50 hours in a single week
8) Growing a neck beard because there is no need to shave since you don’t leave your house accept to go to work.
9) Getting fired from a job for EQ related work performance decline.
10) Getting divorced because your immersion level has hit 10 and your wife has started cheating on you because all you do now is not work and play EQ.
11) Losing custody of your children because EQ has total control of your soul
12) Stop playing P99 all together and focus solely on Forumquest meme’s and GIFs.

Nah it's not. Some of it is more challenging without longer distance drivers and crap. More than anything, the game is just fricking hard. It's not like that game you play at bars when you're fucked up. I used to have a hard ass time cracking 80 when I first joined. I'm still not that good tbh. I probably average -1 or -2 on my rounds with a few upgrades. Play the free tournies before you level up too much.

[FatMice]

I will have to investigate more. I still love Golden Tee. I was in a Tiger Woods Nike Golf Camp and after the camp shut down for the day, it was bar + Golden Tee till 10pm. Shit was addicting.

[xexbis0]

Oh I still spend like half my days playing shooting a shit ass round, withdrawing on hole 5, and being like F this, tomorrow maybe.

Yeah I mean I could shoot -18s all day on GT at the bars, but this game is just fucking HARD. Nothing like GT. Also, when chipping outta any rough, bunker, etc...only use "flop" and the other one that knocks it into the air. You'll learn real quick that chipping it 10x to move it 2 feet is bullcrap lol. The pickup games with other people are really the fun part too. Decent chunk are sociable and will give tips.

Apologies. Any advice from BDA on the new server so I know "not to follow it?"

Cause you guys suck, and I'd hate to know anything that you guys figured out about Phinny that might hinder us other migratees. Would really appreciate any avoidable input.

[FatMice]

I'd rather talk about golf than BAD, eerr BDA.

Oh... one of these days when I have more than 700 sf to live in, I will have a man cave with Golden Tea. Damn... I need to find a Golden Tee machine tonight.

you can't solo effectively, "modern" spell effects, focus effects already in game, spell levels are all over the place (nec/mag pets at lv2??? WTF), factions are way off/different, revamped zones are in place, etc..

no competition for pixels.. but at what cost?

[jcr4990]

Didn't say I wouldn't come back said I'm "not sure" I would. At this point I'm leaning heavily towards not playing P99 again. Maybe in a couple years when Phinny goes beyond OoW/DoDh era and I start hating it again. But then again there will probly be a new progression server by then so maybe I'll go there. Maybe eventually I'll get sick of this game or *gasp* a new MMO comes out that doesn't suck! Either way hopefully when/if I play P99 again raiding won't consist of 2 guilds staring at walls for 16 hours.
