Chance to win 2/1001 rolls.
Chance to lose 999/1001 rolls Value of win: 150k Value of loss: 100pp (10 rolls cost 1k, each roll costs 1000/10=100pp) Weigh value against chance: Win 150000*2/1001 = 300000/1001 lose -100*999/1001 = -99900/1001 Expected win= (300k-99900)/1001 = 199plat and 9 gold won per roll Was this casino just a RMT cover because its business model is to lose 200p every roll by law of averages. | ||

The most fun I've had on p99 was when Uthgaard unexpectedly flagged hateplane for pvp instead of dealing with the shitshow of having every raiding guild on the server going after Innoruuk at the same time and petitioning each other.
My shitty guild teamed up with some other shitty guild (I think they were called TMO) and we beat the piss out of whatever the top guild was back then. I'll never forget popping a stun-> blind -> stun combo on a bard who thought he was getting away then seeing the pack of hounds that were on his tail come around the corner and rip him to shreds. Nothing else has ever come close. It's all been downhill since then. | ||

One of my favorite drunken moments on blue (prior to red launch) was training Sand Giants to the docks. Upon Loading... Please Wait an angry mob surrounded my corpse after Amelinda rez'd me and gave me a very stern talking to and a light ban sentence in front of the crowd.
Justice was served. | ||

In Lower Guk my enchanter, then 47 was invited to join the Frenzy group. It was a holiday weekend with an XP bonus going.
When I joined the group it was around 8 in the evening. We were trying to get this ranger a FBSS. We tried, and we tried, and we tried. Ranger tank, Druid healer, enchanter and whoever cycled through all night. We balanced on the knife-edge of wiping all night long. Did I mention ranger tank and druid healer? It was a blast. I left at around 7AM and level 49. The sash never dropped. Classic as shit. | ||

For me it has always been the raid encounters you shouldn't have won.
Less than 20 IB engaging and killing Trak while like 50+ TMO watched. IB dive bombing server first Yael while Ascension (or whatever they were called) watched. 23 FE getting their first VP kill against a 60 man TMO raid back when VP was the wild west With that last one, TMO was clearly the dominant guild and had been kicking our asses all over VP for months, but that totally made finally getting the kill feel more rewarding. I also miss aspects of the old socking days. I made a ton of friends in IB when I was in DA because we'd just BS with each other while bored. Learned languages with Bossco, Mellyn, and a bunch of people while crammed into the old safe spot in the PoF fire wall with like 80 other characters waiting for CT to spawn. DA used to do a lot of video chats and browser games while socking, and one night we invited IB folks in and had like 30 people between the two guilds playing pictionary while socking CT. For those of us who just liked friendly competition and didn't buy into the whole guild drama, the raid scene had a pretty awesome sense of community back then. I think classic raiding here on the whole might be my favorite memory on p99. Raids were smaller, strategies were less developed, rules were less restricting, and most people were pretty awesome. | ||

Watching that Epic'd shaman troll in EC tunnels asking for a "Gate", only to kill every poor sap that accepted his duel request, get absolutely shit on by a staff member, accompanied with a ban that was just long enough to eat his corpse.
He was obnoxious, rude, and it was the most poetic justice I've ever seen. And I still grin when I think about it.

Zexa getting the server first manastone death and getting a server wide announcement to immortalize her shame.

During a Chardok Prince pull, 6 monsters from his room and the hall arrived with 3 spawns in the camped area, and multiple spawns toward the back of us all combined in to making a great kill!
