Great memories on Phinny when Gris called for this to happen - pretty sure it was a Saturday day - zone chat and tells were pure gold.

I was in Vulak EoE from the start of PoP, they straight up destroyed any competition. Was a lot of dick things going down. Leapfrogging guilds that were camping a spawn that we didn't even give a shit about just to cockblock them from progression. I remember another guild sitting outside of Sol Ro doing all of the standard buffing and getting the last few people in and we just came in with like 2 groups and killed it from right underneath them. No one needed the flag or the loot.
By GoD there was no one even close left

Big Rit was in EoE as well? Ffffuuu!
I feel there are a lot of EoE peeps hiding here! Interesting time frame as I was in from Classic through mid Luclin I believe. So you joined right after I burnt out.

Does no one have fond memories of Sleeper/Combine? It was the original progression server! There was a fancy interactive website thing that tracked the first people to kill shit and do epics and stuff!
Also shit unlocked super fast. One month after completion of raid content.

Yeah, joined around mid PoP. While the guild as a whole was pretty dick-ish, most of the people were pretty fun. Played a wizard and then a rogue. I was very rarely #1 on the dps charts but I was usually top 5. There was some skill that you could use for each year you had an active account that I didn't have that people could pop or something like that iirc. It was fun getting to see some of the content I didn't get to see when I first played back in the old days, since I quit shortly after OoW came out and even then the guild I was in only got about halfway through GoD
Would be really fun to do this server, but I just don't have the time anymore. Even on Vulak which was before I had kids it was a strain to keep up which is ultimately why I stopped playing

I've got 2 or 3 of them on Phinny if you want to use one bro. I'm an adult who makes real money so I had no interest in selling them, I just lend them out as toys to my friends.

What was character name? I'm Decay!
I met some of the original founders of EoE at Blizzcon the same year that vulak launched. Was interesting indeed to meet Damdor irl. Lol

What amazed me about the Combine was just how competitive it was. I spent a few weeks prior to release thinking through leveling routes and working on dialing in my class. I knew that I'd be working at release, but I really underestimated how seriously some people were prepared to take it. Xygon and most of that crew must have had people playing in shifts, because he was online for nearly 24 hours a day for the first few weeks. Even playing 8-10 hours a day on top of working, I just had no chance of keeping up. It also become evident that without a premade, you would be at a huge disadvantage, regardless of your playtime.
Most of the standout stuff that I remember was just fun stuff while leveling. As a bard, doing deep MM castle groups at the low 30s was pretty fun. Pathing there is/was very wacky, so most people stayed away, despite how packed the zone was. I also remember being in an XP group in my mid 50s in the Hole and keeping 4 mobs mezzed and one charmed for like 15 minutes as adds chained on the group. Even though the game had been out forever at that point, there was still a sense that knowing the zones well gave you an edge over a lot of people. Now, it seems like everyone knows every trick in the book.
On both Combine and Vulak, I just remember competition being decided by who was more brazen or who was cheating the most. I remember doing MM in my 40s and ROI had some multi-boxer who just warped all 6 of his toons into the room next to me and stole the named spawn that we had been clearing towards. There was a lot of that type of shit that took the fun out of playing clean.

Pretty sure my wizard was Ritley and my rogue was Skrillex.
It's weird, I have a hard time remembering many names from Vulak but I remember almost everyone that I played with back on Druzzil Ro. Decay definitely sounds familiar though

The fake serverwide tricking everyone was the highlight for me. Shit, I think I posted that we would not wake him like 2 hours before we did and still managed to be out shitlorded within a day because of satoshi framing (and then tikkle drama).
Now that I think about it G Grisvok you should still totally wake asap but set a fake future date and troll the serverwide msg name again.

I'd bet my life the clowns from that guild aren't going to Agnarr, they're probably waiting to be the only guild on Phinny like they did on Fippy so they can tell themselves they're number 1 finally.
Poor Tikkle wanted to RMT that SoD so bad and didn't get it, that would have paid his grandma's trailer park bill for a year he told us. Poor guy had to go back to farming HoT symbols and Lodizal to pay rent lol.

I honestly liked the guy but jesus fuck. He actually dropped some pretty scathing shit when it went down; I was kinda sold on it at first. Glad I didn't beta out and just talked to Grisvok directly when concerned.
I blame diabeetus. That dude was the literal Hut ganglord of krono sales.

Haha yeah.. gotta love/hate the guy. Almost all my interactions with him were positive, just a different realm when you're using pixels to finance life. That situation was almost bound to happen with someone(SoD) but watching it unfold real time was pretty funny.
