When Armageddon is full...

[Fujikoma]

The linkdead will rise and post to the GDB.

Armageddon is full.  There is currently a limit of 1 players.

REALLY?! NOOOOOO!!!

[FantasyWriter]

Hehe, down for maintenance.

[Barsook]

And everyone rushes to the shops to spam full them, 

[Pale Horse]

Down for maintenance.

Used to happen every Saturday, all Saturday, son.

[Barsook]

I thought it was on Wednesdays.  When did that change, if it did.

[valeria]

It was mentioned as Monday mornings in the player-staff chat I think.

[Barsook]

The recent one?

[valeria]

Yes, I think that's where I heard it.

[Kol]

Yep. It was part of the answer to one of my questions.

Ther server gets reset at around 8 am every Monday morning.

[Barsook]

Ah, I see.

[Cale_Knight]

Down for maintenance.

Man, I remember that. Sometimes I had to, like, go outside and junk.

Yeah, you kids don't know how good you have it.

Saturday Downtime used to really suck for us who were in high-school back then, because it was like...One of two days off you could actually play the game, and it was closed!

Around 1-3PM i'd start the 'refresh email/website' game until it went back up.

[Armaddict]

Them there is back when character approvals for normal applications could take days.

On the plus side, you always knew saturday was the day pending emails, apps, and etc would get looked at and you'd get a reply, even if it was a 'This will have to wait'.

You guys are so old. How are you not dead yet?

Scorcerer kings yo.

You kids are so cute - thinking you had it rough back in the day. Why, when *I* was a kid playing Arm, we sent emotes via carrier pigeon. A typical RPT would take approximately three weeks to complete, unless someone's pigeon got shot down. Then it could take a long as two months.

[Barsook]

Just a wonder, who is the longest played player that played Arm?

[Marauder Moe]

It depends.

I think from statistics that came out during the player staff meeting, like 60 active players have been playing for a decade or more.

Nessalin and Tiernan might be candidates if we count staff and if they still play.

Looking at board registration times, you can see a few still-active players early on the list.  However, I know I myself started playing like 6 months before the boards were updated.

Most likely the longest playing player would be someone like LoD who was there from waaaaay back yet only disappeared in the last few years.

This made me lol.  Thank you.

When we held the player staff meeting I looked at statistics for the 5 days previous to that. I mentioned this in the player staff meeting, here's some info from that:

In the last 5 days 231 accounts have logged in to the mud.
125 of these have been playing the game for 5+ years. 

1996 is when we started recording created on dates on the accounts. 7 accounts (that have been active in the last 5 days) were created before 1996 and have no 'created' date.

The spooky seven...

[Bushranger]

I'm not spooky Cabooze!

Really I'm just an average Amos. How about we go obsidian mining tomorrow at dawn when the gates open?

[Reiloth]

If I had to take a guess at some of the 'Final Seven' (if we're making BSG references), I would say LoD and ApocalypticCow?

[Armaddict]

How does that work exactly, since accounts were all created in like...1999?

Before that, you just linked in your previous pc name and password.
