Hahaha. That is funny. I never knew that was a NPC's name. But to be fair, I have been using this name since I started playing D&D in the 70s. Damn EQ for stealing my surname!

A couple things:

It truly amazes me how everyone seems to agree it is self evident that parked toon tracking (whether by druid/ranger or supposed 3rd party programs), mass messaging via googlephone, twitter, or sms messaging, happens to log in people who are camped out at a spawn....yet people continue to come to the forums and be surprised by it. Granted, twitter and googlephone didn't exist in 1999...but sms sure did and the batphone was happening then - only someone truly ignorant would be surprised by a more advanced system now.

Secondly, I really think it is funny that people continue to pull out the whole "you raiders have no life" red herring. If nothing else is classic, that behavior certainly is. The batphone/twitter/sms system is what allows most raiders who use it to spend far far less time on project 1999 than others who do not utilize it. True, there are people who attach a larger than normal priority to playtime. Most people, though, use quick mobilization/camp method to jump online to do what they want to do: raid/dominate a server with minimal impact on their RL interests.

For example, on an average evening I can spend my time with my wife, lesson planning, working on grad school obligations, playing music, cooking, writing...any number of activities knowing that if something happens in-game which reflects why I want to play (IE raiding and not running around farming that 50th thousand platinum piece). I can walk over to the comp, click login, and be ready to raid. The side effect is fast mobilzation, beccause I'm not nuts deep in some dungeon somewhere farming items to sell to Bob. I don't know about debating 30 seconds versus 10 minutes...that kinda thing is something I would put in the realm of OCD.

Bottom line: It is not hard whatsoever to get a toon to 50 on this server, get a full set of planar + resist gear, jboots if you want, and a healthy amount of plat banked. After that, if you want to raid...I recommend doing it the most effecient way possible - camping out buffed and ringing the ol' batphone.

I have raided in numerous games and I still would never get up early in the morning to go to a raid. As far as that goes...its nerdy and ridiculous.

Here's an example of "a couple things":
1. Thing one
2. Thing two


Here's an example of tl;dr drivel:

I would rather see someone named pwnedurmom or pedeefile, than someone who has to use the name of someone else's creation. And come on... at least make it fit the game. M. Bison isn't even fantasy (may be his fantasy...lol. Maybe that why he uses it...haha.) Oh well.
I have plenty of online 'persona's. That doesn't mean I won't use Sephiroth if it isn't already taken.

People didn't use the batphone here like they did in 1999 because in 1999 the spawns were static 3 & 7 day with 1 to 4 patch days during each week.

OMG IT'S NYMPHETAMINE and I am Giganto, big freakin deal. It doesnt matter. Please just do your thing. Whoever it is yeah it's a dumb post becuase this is how things work when the dragon/god is on it's last hours to spawn. Texting 30 people or whatever the number may be can be done in a matter of seconds and all at once so it's pretty simple. This thread is stupid and pointless, glad I could clear things up to you all. Goodbye

you're overlooking the fact that someone from your guild has no life at all and is poopsocking at the camp so they can eventually send out that mass text message
