Odie!! How you been dude, has been a long time!
 
Bringing back some memories with B4B talk 🙂

I saw a Ruts covers band once upon a time, from Finland. They were excellent. Rude Boy I think they were called. Welcome.

Hello ladies and gents, my name is Cathalyte. I mean Oskari. I mean Odie. 
A long time ago I joined a clan called Blood for Blood that has now evolved to a community called Forever Gaming. To an adolescent studying english as a second language meant this was a great opportunity to develop and hone both written and spoken skills.
Good old times, sessions of Black Ops 1 and Battlefield, lots of shenanigans and an equal amount of support and nice conversations with clan mates! 
 
Got an invite from brother across the pond to join FG on D2 (Hey Mike <3) Trying to make an active return to those times and having friends to grind on Destiny 2 and some banter along the way.
 
So, a little bit about me. I'm a finnish dude, 26 years old. Graduated as a bachelor or sports last December and got a job as a lifeguard/ swimming instructor/ sports instructor right before graduating. I used to play Dota 2 over the years of studying and the first year ar work (over 5000 hours) but quite frankly, playing solo has become almost the same as trying to teach kindergartens to swim and that's not my cup of tea after a long day at work. 
 
I'm really looking forward to joining you on a Destiny 2 session and conversations on this forum. I'm a bit of a noob what it comes to raids and what have you so don't be afraid to steer me into right direction!
 
Much love and stay strong!
Best wishes,
Odie.
 
 

Do the bounties from Petra that give you powerful gear. They increase your power more than other activities. 

Really liked the expansion. I don't know whether I should ask this here or somewhere else so mods feel free to guide me. Since I reached thr Dreaming City I have felt super confused where to continue the grind to up my power lvl or where to find more powerful gear. Like I feel that my power lvl isn't high enough to go to the blind well or join the end game activities. One could also say I'm stuck. Any advice what should I look into?

Welcome back Odie. I wasn't good enough for B4B and don't think we played that many games together but remember you from the old mw2forum 🙂

Odie! You beast of a man, welcome back.
 
Always nice to see another oldtimer from Blood for Blood returning

Welcome.back dude 

Welcome back! 👍

Welcome back. 

Awesome intro Odie! Great to see a returning face and that you're on Destiny 2 so we can hook up as well!
 
Don't worry about not doing many raids, etc, we'll run through some along the way and have some much needed laughs (I like to giggle alot).
 
Look forward to seeing around and about FG!

Crap, there goes another one down the rabbit hole...
 
 
 

I was hooked! 
 
I think it was BO7H_BARRELS and Jordie IIRC who told me to try it out and I'm glad I did. Tried a few of the champions and I'm feeling like Ranged/ Mage would be the suitable for me since I played quite a bit Guild Wars back in the day and Nuking/ maging was my thing.
 
Any suggestions champion wise to start trying/ unlocking as I'm starting out?

Folks, please remember that Sennex and myself do this in our free time. It's not our job, we don't get paid for it, we do it because we enjoy it. With that in mind, if you have any issues, please report it via the forum, and not in game. When we're online, it's to relax and wind down, not come from a day job to continue working on a server. If you report anything via PM on the forum, we will be made aware of it and we'll deal with it when we have some time. 
 
Also, I'm expecting you guys to put in some effort too. If you log in and your stuff is gone or you lost it to a bug or whatever, then do a bit of research and come to us with a bit of info for us to work with. This isn't a playground that Sennex and I host, it's a community server. This means that we're all meant to help out to keep things running smoothly. If something goes wrong, see what you can do to fix it before you come to us. 
 
Some folks don't seem to realise how much work it can be maintaining a server. We also look after a website, a Teamspeak server, one of us has kids, we both have jobs, etc etc. I think you get the picture. 
 
I'm also looking for a new admin. Not someone who'll just take the title and chill out, but someone who's willing to learn how these things work, how to manage mods, restart servers, etc etc. I don't just need an admin, I need a team player. 
 
I'm going to start being a bit more strict now as some folks seem to think that our only purpose in life is to babysit this server, when said folks are perfectly capable of going "hey man, x just happened, and according to y site, it could be z". Don't just come to us and go "it broke, what now?"
 
Apologies if this came off as a bit harsh, but I need people to start realising that this is a community effort, not a show hosted by Dave & Bart that you guys are allowed to play on. 
 
 
Thanks for reading, I love you all, and stay classy fellow Minecrafters!

Holy shit. Thanks for all the work you're doing man. I can't even imagine the stress.

Hep, and it'll be backed up once every 24h. This will also allow us to compare people's stuff from 24h before, highlighting any thievery. Thieving will not be tolerated and will result in an instant permanent ban.
Apologies for all of this folks, let's go back to the good ol' days of fun and games and leave the bad guys to us admins.

I personally would like to play on 1.7.2 but I'm willing to move back to 1.6.4 stuff if the majority wants it to be that way.
 
There's already a lot of work behind the 1.6.4 that's already been done once for a server that ran smoothly -> More enjoyable to setup and play?
 
Also, I hate it when the problem isn't with the game or its coding but with some absolute imbesil who broke the trust withing the server. I visited the server last night and had a chatter with Cal and Harrison and was quite surprised by what had happened. Is there any chance of observing who has been on server on certain hour of the day?

Regular, Vanilla, all the basic stuff. It's always easier to start building on top of that than stripping stuff that doesn't necessarily work or kills lower level pc's.

Hello gentlemen! 
 
I don't know if you guys can remember me but I played a bit on the forum server a while ago.
 
Is there still as many players active on the Minecraft side of things?
