All in all, we had over 200 horde rushing into Ironforge, needless to say the server crashed
Was still tons of fun though

I remember the couple times when the Horde tried to raid Ironforge... one of two things happened:
a) The Horde raid group wasn't big enough and Alliance pushed 'em back. You gotta remember, this was the 60's days, so tons of people were outside IF dueling almost all the time.
b) The server crashed before they even got to the gates.
Sometimes Horde would come over for duels and stuff and that was always fun. But usually 'b' happened and we had an 'a' or two. Usually 'a' only got near Kharanos so it didn't have many problems with trying to update all the NPCs with all the players and the player's respective actions.

c) Horde used warlocks to summon 2 raid groups from behind closed door to old ironforge. Then aggros king. Unplayable lag ensured as insane amount of guard spawned and AoEed. King dies dropped nothing, one raid group gets the 1000ish HP. Horde player hearth home.

you should have to announce a raid that big to a GM so they can allocate more bandwidth to the server

I'm thinking adaptive coding could solve the issue... but Blizzard just does the bare minimum these days. When you have a monopoly the incentive to give it your all and innovate is gone![]()

that game is a grindfest time sinker. I'll have 2 tier 6 70s before I have one 70 or 80 or whatever the level cap is now.

more like 25-30, actually.
lineage 2 takes approx 3-4 months botting 24/7 in good xp areas to reach max level.
but people dont lose xp in FF11.Originally posted by: tenshodo13

Final Fantasy takes like, 2 years. And sadly, I made it there... can't say there weren't moments that I really enjoyed. Like running from a 20 mob chain through the entire map and getting like, 15 people killed.
Please tell me you're joking. FFXI had one of the worst pentalies for dying ever. You lost10% of your exp for the next level. That more or less means you're losing like 10 hours of leveling in later levelsOriginally posted by: Fayd

if you die in l2, u lose hours worth of xp. you used to even be able to drop gear (worth thousands of dollars) dieing to mobs, as well. it was so awesome.

That pic just shows me again why I'm not missing WoW. Virtually no guards seen in that shot, and yet if a freaking 10 man allied group goes into TM the idiots at Blizz has it set up so 50 death guards come out at you.
I would be shocked if any game took more grinding than lineage 2. After 2 years of playing after work almost every day and a lot on the weekends I think I got level 74 or 75, I cant imagine FF being more than that.Originally posted by: tenshodo13
