The Rising Event! 1.0 Experience

What I'm getting out of this is it was a massacring of players.
Was it actually fun somehow, or was it only memorable?

To answer your question is was the greatest live raid we could have asked for.
GM was present.
Death was present.
Challenges was present.




Let's spice things up abit though. I've showed you guys nothing but bunch of players vs 1 monster. that's boring.. Here.. Try running away from this.





Every single one. Lv 60+

It was both. It was fun and it was memorable. I may forget some people as the their names are swallowed by the passing of time. But I will never forget the things we did. Especially at the end.

These next screenshots are the death tolls. I'm not 100% sure if i remember correctly but Delvling was a thing. I'm not sure if it was still around. and if it was.. God help us..

Well, all of it went down after the final save, so the devs were pretty much free to f*ck with us as much as they wanted..xD
During that time I lost like half of my fortune on repairs and arrows and the like

My favorite part was when they spawned the max Level monsters. That wasn't even a challenge anymore, it was just brutal death and nothing else.
That's when people went down on their knees and prayed to The Twelve...and they answered.
And every single monster that enough players used /pray on died (killed by invisible GMs). It was glorious *___*

As well as the giant Goobbue wall in front of the Ul'dahn gates before the invasion,



and then, on the day of the end, the final march together with the entire server populace by foot or chocobo, to Mor Dhona to have the final battle against the Garleans.
It was buggy and messy and all, but we had those Lvl 100 opponents from the launch trailer and then it all shut down and the End of an Era cutscene played..I cried that day .-.

It was fun, challenging and completely mad and I'm kind of sad we can never have something like this again because it would mess up people's progress.
