More importantly, did you have fun? The servers were remarkably stable but for a couple hiccups. We in the office had a blast, and hope everyone else did, too.

Thanks for participating, those who made the effort :)

I was both amazed and impressed with how well they recovered the event after the crash. There was a brief repop of the normal prime roots mobs, but they restored the event to it's previous stage rather quickly. While i'm sure they were hoping for a flawless run on the first event, great job on dealing with the unexpected and keeping things moving along.

It was hella fun, thanks for putting it on. I worked my butt off against those cutes and thought everyone worked together pretty well. :) I didn't even die when the server "hiccups" happened, and got right back into things.

We'll get 'em next time, I'm sure. I'll go practice!

Yeah I must say it was great. I will probably be resuscribing after this event.

I can say that I wasn't having much fun in this event. It's part of the reason I left early into it. The disorganization and lack of direction bothered me. I was too low level so none of my hits landed. I was having a horrible time targeting. When we won a battle, I didn't feel like I had done anything to help win it. And for most of the time I just felt I was running with the pack for no real reason.

NOW HAVING SAID THAT:
The conclusion is that major raid type events are just not something I enjoy. It doesn't mean Nevrax did anything wrong. It doesn't mean that the event wasn't awesome for many players. It doesn't mean that I think there shouldn't be any events like this. It doesn't mean that the players did anything to make me not feel involved (quite the opposite, most were very helpful in getting me involved).

So congrats to all of you who took part and completed the quest. Congrats to Nevrax for being able to pull this off. Hopefully there will be many more for players to enjoy (I'll just stick to reading about it next time :) ).

***Raynes will now get his flamesuit on as he knows what is coming. LOL

No flaming Raynes, I was there with you :D We didn't have enough high level people, they were harvesting meantime, at least a lot of them :) I could only be useful by healing people, apart from that i couldn't hit with melee/magic and I couldn't even bite because i would be dead in 1 hit :D
