I think it can largely be attributed to Pantheon hype. I was part of that wave. I had heard of p99 some time back but didn’t actually get involved until August 2018 as news of Pantheon continued to grow. Knowing that it would be years before Pantheon would even have a chance to come out I decided to revisit an old friend and I know many others did as well. I stayed until WoW Classic came out and stuck with that as my daily game until hitting max level where I can now just enjoy my scheduled raids. I now have some more time to allocate back to p99.

I was part of that wave. I’m fairly certain it was generated by pantheon news. Then a lot of streamers started playing too. The streamers are what actually looped me back into playing this server (I had first played in 09).

How often do you continue playing the beta of a game, once the full live version officially launches?

I don't doubt you can't see it, but you need to educate yourself on how to state an opinion, rather then word it as blanket generalized (and factually incorrect) statements of fact. If you can't control your own vocabulary, how are people supposed to take you seriously... which clearly they don't.
Please needlessly passive aggressive guy, educate me.

What did I say in my earlier statement that was "factually incorrect"?

Did a troll catch hurt feelings? That is adorable!

Reread your post history, if you seriously cannot see the glaring errors in your language, you need to repeat the entire formal education most children receive, which is more time then I care to devote to an internet troll. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Dude, seriously? How can you call me out, and not clarify what it is exactly you’re taking issue with?

I’m trying to have a spirited debate, and I honestly want to know which facts I got wrong. I’m also 100% willing to admit when I’m wrong about something.

Come man, be cool. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Sure, I will play ball. There are so many in the thread to pick from, but let's just start with an easy one with your very first post:

Can you spot the factually incorrect statement above?

So, you’re mad at me because you think that statement was intended to be taken literally?
If I say “Nobody uses floppy disks.” or “Nobody plays Call of Duty on PC.” That doesn’t mean I think literally not one person makes use of Floppy Disks or that the player count of Call of Duty literally sits at zero 24/7.

Which, if you read my previous comments, is why noone takes you seriously. You have less control over your own language then a child.

This was just an easy example, it only grew sadder as the thread continued.
