We may pop back In if Velious gets released.

Playing with an old school RZ crew sounds pretty fun. I shoulda came over and tried one of those devnoob boxes.

I wish I still had my 1999 screenshots, might even have a Rigamortiz killshot in there somewhere.

you mean like ender getting banned 100x for being a colossal piece of shit and constantly breaking rules?

you are either insane or trolling if you think the staff isn't horribly corrupt in favor of nihilum

I'm saying you see it from your point of view, and Nihilum people see it differently.

Is that kind of like..... when you everyone says you are crazy, but you think everyone else is crazy.....

No it's more like when everyone thinks everyone else is crazy, and they are right.

yeah man having a developer in your guild certainly isn't corrupt at all

Not saying I know everything or hear everything, but the only comments I've ever heard regarding developer status was a lot of bitching when the protector changes in OS wiped us at Trak. I know with 100% certainty we weren't warned on that one.

Then Lite posted the humiliating reality on the forums and Heartbrand basically gave up over night.

The sad reality is that the people who are now trying to formulate a Red Dawn-esque guild were some of the most vocal against RD's efforts to politically survive and play a legitimate 'third' faction. Hopefully folks can learn from the RD formula, probably too little too late, but straight raid opposition against Nihilum has failed since the server's inception and will most likely continue to do so on such a small pop server.

Nobody is going to create an equally large and equally dedicated raid force while maintaining any semblance of 'recruitment' on this server from this player base. The attrition is too high and Nihilum is too big a lure for newer players.

While it is true that, that was the final straw, the guild was already on life support at that point with the exp removal, GM's basically making posts saying "hahah exp is gr8 stfu", and Azrael doing their best to shit on RD 24/7 while working our members constantly [rexx was about to jump ship, Xant wanted to, Dacuk wanted to], etc.

why not just remake red dawn shrug
