  • This is like putting the cork from the wine you just drank to plug up the big gapping hole in the side of your boat. To little to late. Maybe you should not have been steering your boat drunk? OMG

• • Did ToA make or break the game back in the day?

  • ToA broke the game for me and most everyone. I quit early on when I realised the endless grind was now in motion. I loved pre-ToA because it had a fair pvp playing field, once you had a nice set of player made armor, and a few realm ranks under your belt, gear wasnt the issue in RvR. Your tactics and teamwork were what became key. But once ToA came out and you had to endlessly grind in pve to be able to contend in what was an RvR centric game, it really turned me away. I was an RR6 Paladin, and I gave up shortly after ToA, I just wasnt paying to play a pve game at that point, I wanted to play RvR.

• • The things that the testers warned would kill this game...have.

  • LOL I remember when we put 3 french ports in red on purpose. Now that was some good pvp that day! I think that was also the day the truce among the french collapsed. We did it with 6 people eco bombing. Havana 6 we called ourselves. Took about 2 hours.

    OMG is still in PotBS, French on Antigua and Pirates on Blackbeard. As much as they might like to think they did, they didn't destroy anything. When OMG left PotBS for Warhammer, the Spanish nation took their place as the dominant RvR force on Antigua. Now, having found WAR boring a few of the OMG guys resurrected PotBS OMG and are still active in PvP and RvR.

    They do have a bunch of jerks, but they also have a bunch of decent players. I've seen game breakers (SomethingAwful forums' Goons in Eve-Online, for example, whose stated purpose is to screw up games for other people); OMG I'm Drunk aren't game breakers (no matter how hard sickdoll wants to chestthump about it).

     

     You are correct, most of us really are not jerks, and those that found us to be usually started it, or just couldnt hang with it. We are just people who enjoy a good pvp game. The above about breaking the game was 100% meant as a joke. Forum pvp is a part of our mentality as much as ingame. I just enjoy perpetuating the boogyman aspect of our crew to those who only know about us in legend. It was a sad day when I unsubscribed to what was a great game. We still have a very active potbs player base, it is just a fraction of what it was on morgan/early antigua.

  • LOL we antigua french didnt ruin the game! We owned everyone within bounds of the rule setforth by SOE! BTW OMG GFUS.

     

    why r we still talking about this dead game anyway? Everything listedin this thread is just ANOTHER reason this game failed, they are all right for various reasons.

     

    OMG I'm Drunk, French Foreign Legion, we killed morgan, then we killed Antigua, no one could hang with us.
