You know you're from Method if...

**Aquatium.**

Method if you also remember this...

**Also a shout to everyone that used to chill with me on a daily basis at Widows Moor and then 01.

**Trex9**

on the topic...if you remember noblewhipped

:smileytongue:

**Sneaker**

The mention of Yakuza reminded me of something.

You know you're from pre-beta when.... you remember all the "No, I'M the mafia of the matrix!!!" quarrels between a bunch of clans who had seen The Godfather wayyy too many times.

You know you are from pre and beta if you heard the name Darbacour.

I remember Dagyo
him se7, multipl3x, redbunny, and neu all started the faction called
Balance. They took me from 2 to 50 in about 5 days /play time:smileyvery-happy:.
Those days were great only ones i really see now are multi and neu.
Dagyo was the one who started the creston hideout BBQ and the insane
speed missions before the speed nerf and XP nerf.

I second that!

And what Trex9 said right above it.

I remember when i first met Dag, he was pantless running through richland.

We were all in the crew NARF - we were rebels in Beta who didn't
believe in Factions lol - then se7 came along - and things started
growing.

GREAT TIMES

"

You remember "Imperatus Maximus". . . the Mercenaries for hire aka "Batteries Not Included"

. . . . .Creston Heights XP BBQ's Hosted by none other than DagY0 . . .
Hated NoSpoon ( not hate hate, but yes i hated getting punted by you)

. . . . remember When <Balance> was the meanest Merv faction around (gotta give props to my old faction)

"

^by Neu

yep - we are probably the reason why you can't hyperjump in buildings
and why half of the combat balancing occured, why the aggro was changed
etc.

Just imagine an entire floor of Creston NPCs all in the boss room,
every night, 4-6 hours a night for like 4 weeks straight.

we didn't die. (well rarely at least - i died more because I was in my 30s at the time lol)

You needed to be in Method since the early days to understand this one :smileywink:

Hey what do you mean early days? That is still happening now! LOL!

Ah the good old days when PvP first erupted in Method after live. /tear

Back then we had at least 30 TC members at any given time online. We had grinded extremely hard and had very high level members. Some had even hit 50 already (Nanohaxial, JacobiB, Upstream etc.). The rest of us were already in our 40s or high 30s. If I remember right, Jacobib discovered the /pvp command one night. We were all standing around and the flags started coming up. Before we knew it, PvP had erupted in Mara.

Thanks to all our rumbles with RIP, Furious Angels and Digital Army during Beta in 01, we did really well. We united with our fellow machinsts and we dominated Mara. Eventually others in the other orgs reached 50 and strategies formed. We fell to Zion and the Mervs. The cycle began.

There were a few nights when we would flag up and stand on the bridge. Sneaker was famous for declaring the area under machinist protection and any hostilities would be dealt with.

Good times.

that was one of the greatest times of my video game career. being in midian park with the hordes of reds trying to interlock me and via sheer levels i was untouchable. i had that screenshot with the people screaming "KILL UPSTREAM" as my desktop for long. then going up to the mara church roof where it was nothing but TC on the roof and (quite literally) hundreds of reds down below. they never moved as one, so they couldnt dislodge us from the position. PVP in retail was never quite as good as it was that first day.
