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.

I take full credit for getting Clarke over to BARB last night!



I went into MW BAS and pulled him out by his ear!



He had the misconception that he had to delete a certain file before he could come into BARB server but I told him that all he had to do was quit COD:UO and restart it and all would be fine.

Muchas gracias! Glad he found his way over...I'll be on tonite after taking a hiatus last night when I lost my FiOS connection after lightning struck my house! My poor kids were scared out of their wits...not to mention my wife and me!

Holy! Did you lose anything else besides the FIOS connection?

Just one of my TVs (the one in our living room). The TV in the basement seems to have survived. Lucky, i guess...could have been worse.

I work for an electrical supply company and we carry Square D and Phoenix Contact (their headquarters is in Harrisburg!) - they have surge protection for the home - you should look into it! If you have an electrical contractor, ask them about it - could save your TV and other appliances!

Yep. Very familiar with Phoenix Contact. Also, my uncle works at one of Square D's larger distribution centers (located here, too). Tyco Electronics (used to be AMP) is also located here. Never actually thought of how many electronics companies do business here.

We get the majority of our Square D product shipped to us from Mechanicsburg, PA

One night it was just Havoc and me and we joined the same team. We were riding along in a jeep and then he decided to see what would happen if he cooked his satchel in the passenger seat. Only good thing that happened is I got his health. Here's the screenie.

I've actually been using that as my desktop picture since that day. My wife doesn't "get" it.

Tell her a can of Diet Soda got too hot and expoded in the mini-van cup holder on the way to soccer practice - she'll understand completely!
