An old warrior staggers to his feet, The Barb 24/7 server! Options

[M@ster of Dis@ster]

They all though he was down an out. Too old. Too slow. Beaten and bloodied. Down on the mat for so long, no one even considered he might get back up. But then on Sept. 18, 2007 the old warrior started to rise! Two plucky young fans, Mr. Shred and Burn and Blitz, wouldn't give up on the old dog even in it's darkest moment, and with their help Barb 24/7 lifted his head and fixed them with a steely glare as if to say "If you're still with me, then I'll keep fighting!" And with that Barb 24/7 rose from the mat, weak, tired, old and slow, but with cunning and skill, it started to fight again! It started by throwing punched blindly and inconsistently, but it was back! Barb 24/7 wasn't going down with one last kick at the can!

And so it was that more fans of Barb 24/7 saw the will of a champion, and the support started to swell. By Sept 22, 2007, not less then 25 great fans of Barb 24/7 had their great champion swinging hard, outpacing other servers for the first time in months. And it continues. Its feet are still unsteady, but each night Barb 24/7 start playing like it's young self, and it's KNOWLEDGEABLE fans, appreciating the skill and dedication that Barb 24/7 always required of itself and it's players, couldn't be more pleased. Old school MOB and non-MOB alike are coming back to support this grizzled warrior. Will the word spread? Will even more come to support the server of some of the greatest battles in MOB's public server history? It is hard to say. It may be that the resurrection of Barb 24/7 will be a passing moment in late Sept, 2007, but then again, perhaps this old dog still have enough kick to be a winner again. Only time will tell. But Barb 24/7 refused to drift lazily in history, and that is as it should be. A warrior should go down fighting!



Hope you enjoyed my little tale/story/anology, and hopefully see more familiar faces on the Barb server over the next few day. A reminder to Barb fans to download xfire if you haven't already (free program), and use it to try and page people to get the server rocking.

Major Havoc,

How you have an excuse to by huge flatscreen,
unless that was what got zapped if that's the case then

Thanks to everyone for getting Barb alive and kicking again, I almost forgot how fun it was!

The talent level for the past couple week has been intense! It sure is refreshing to be playing Barb again and have 100 mean something.

I hope we can keep this up and going, It would be great to have Barb be the go to server again.
There seems to be a bit of a ground swell, once the server has 3 or 4 people it seems to get up to around 10 or 12 really fast, the hard part is getting it to 20.

It's been pretty great fun, that's for sure. I've got it going a few times now, it requires about 3 people to start, then it picks up fairly quickly. Usually you'll have 6-8 before the end of the first game! By the end of the first round 12-14 is normal, and makes for really good games. I usually am able to find 1-2 to join via xfire, and 1-2 via Vent, and away we go! So for others looking to get the server going, add everyone you can to X-fire posted in other threads, and take a quick trip around the Vent channel and you should be able to find enough to get a decent game within 15 minutes. LIke I say, in prime-time, all you need is about 3-4, and the rest will come.

Remember to advise people if they are coming from MW, to close their COD and re-open before trying to enter.

MFD clan, of note, if just the three of you go, it'll probably get going most nights within 15 minutes, though you wouldn't be able to team stack for the 1st game!
