Ahh Xeffo, ya fat bastige, how ya been? Lol Narya raids. Remember when Narya got like a hundred people killed in fear and Kung, Anarlys, Woofwoof, and I broke it so they could get their bodies back? That was a hell of thing. All that lag and four toons and a bot breaking fear.
I also remember you from GC Snebli. If you joined AV around that time I might have missed it, because we had like 130 players then.
Good to see you two.

I've been alright but I think I really hate myself because here I am starting from scratch on an already established server with an (apparently stagnant) economy and no chance at getting those sweet prenerfs. Going from decked out grandpa Xeffo the Reaver to a cheap-knock off reroll is kinda depressing. But whatever, I relinquished my caring for EQ back in 2003ish when I quit and... wait for it... ended up working at an afterschool program for 12 years. Turns out leading activities with groups of kids is something that leading raids actually prepares you for! Even the sour feelings at the end when prizes get distributed :P
Oh, Povar memories. I don't remember specifics of that but it does sound very familiar. I do fondly remember another Plane of Fear incident with Narya trying to break zonein with two very ragtag guild groups. I heard about it and lived up to my asshole nature back then, making temporary friends of so many little imps <3 I miss Woofwoof. Dude was crazy smart, into cryptography... his account password was some 20 digit alphanumeric case sensitive thing. I rfiemember getting it wrong about 5 times before finally getting it right and then I botched the entire encounter (in Kael at some caster offhand shield dropper who was easily killed w/charm) Oops. Last I talked to him he said he was going to open a soap and candle shop. I think he met a cute girl or somethin. Kung unfortunately would not be allowed here on p99 because he is a filthy lazy multiboxer

Uh speaking of lag though... this server is located on the east coast, yes? I was getting some gnarly 180ms constant ping the other day and that's just not gonna cut it for a twitchy pulling class like SK. Even at 100ms, the client/server always disagree about where you and NPCs are - it's incredibly frustrating when you have stopped moving on your screen and are casting a spell just fine and ah oh oh nope sorry guy it seems you were still within the last 5mm of your deceleration. Spell interrupted! So imagine that with feign death, the spell you tagged with, the NPC walking around pre-tag and the crowd chasing post-tag, all agro interactions on the way, all spells they cast, on and on and on and each every little 180ms latency exchange further compounds the problem. It was 100 today so maybe just a bad night?
tl;dr where's my fungi tunic, Beryl? Daddy needs to level!
