You have achieved unparalleled success! The most successful freeshard server ever, even Uthgard's stunning numbers and brilliant work got toppled. "Broadsword" and the official daoc servers really got existentially tested.
What more could one hope for, when undertaking such an ambitious hard work? You did it! You really deserve the highest praise for your utterly intelligent and hard, hard work.
It's too bad there was zero server promotion/xp bonus/incentive to start playing Phoenix again for the 1yr. Would have been a good opportunity to try and get some people back.
Great work Phoenix team! My play time is sporadic but you've kept me coming back to an ancient game for over a year now. Heres to another year and more!
