Went back through some of the old threads tonight. The barn loot night still reads like a dream. I'd been on the server six days when it happened and spent that whole evening grabbing gear I had no idea how to use. Don't think anyone complained about that loot table then and I wouldnt' have either.

Barn loot night was the last night I remember the server feeling full. I got on late and the chat was just people laughing about which banr they'd cleared first. The three-day outage was the opposite — half those names just never came back. I still open the server list at 2am and it's habit more ...

these fog shots are the Green Mountain I've only ever heard about. The crossroads man stories always had that same grey stillness to them. i joined after the dare so this is all second-hand to me. Did Rabbit ever say where he went, or did everyone just decide not to ask?

Quiet night on the server. Logged on after work and it was just me and one other guy at Balota. Kept thinking about the barn loot night and how the whole map was going off in side chat. The fields are still there, anyway.

mox, the shoreline session is that same kind of story for me. I've heard it retold enough times I can picture the beans and bandages on the sand, but I wasn't there. It feels odd to miss something that happened years before I found the server, yet it's part of why I stuck around. The four names ...

Doc_Malloyr, the ban that split it was before my time, but I wish I'd been around for that — people were still arguing about it when I joined. I did get to see the barn loot night not long after, and that's the closest I ever came to the summer everyone misses. Cold evening, I remember that much ...

mox, the barn loot night is the one I keep coming back to when the server gets this quiet. i logged in late, someone had a DMR they couldn't have got legally, and the whole coast was a firefight for one night. The three day outage afterwards finished what that night started, I think. still, same map ...

Still seeing that light over Balota on and off, even later than you guys. I was watching from the treeline north of the airstrip around 3 and it was just hanging there, no engine sound. Quiet nights like this make me wish I'd been around for the first Ural run, befoer my tiem but everyone still ...

Doc, that treeline bit gets me. Same deal as the ammo camp that September from what I heard - tents open, everything else untouched, only the ammo gone. Then the beans a month later. Nobody bragged about either one, and I still think about that.

kasper, if that backup runs at all, I'd love to know what the pop looked like the day the outage started. i remember the forums going dead that Tuesday night, but I never saw the before/after numbers. and if you find anything from April 2014, that's the week I always heard about but never saw — I'd ...
