Topic: 100 Beacon Challenge.

When Beacongate first started there were some insanely crazy wild accusations that one could run 100 beacon's or so at one time.

We over at STC, and Nebs decided to take that challenge on, this is our story.

Surprise Surprise, negative Nancy strikes again!!

Re: 100 Beacon Challenge.

There is much more economically and asetically pleasing farming pits.  Yours kind of reminds me of something Nebs would design.

I wouldn't consider jumping from the east gate to the north gate w/ haulers to stockpile equipment on langrium actually being "there" on bergers.

And no Obi, Surprisingly other than in the immediate area the server didn't seem to be affected. I would love to see the statistics on the amount of data generated from that actually.

And Burial ... The simple answer is no ... Not profitable at all.

Re: 100 Beacon Challenge.

People still havent figured it out yet.

If you were Top Killers, you would have taken the time to really look at it.


missions and multi beacon getting patched soon anyways, too bad really,

people had to open their big mouths on the forums, Lemon, Merkle, Hunter, Martha etc. etc. etc.   blame squarely placed on you -  (im not talking about this thread, im talking about the other ***hat threads you all posted *** and moaning about small details related to the beacons and missions  blah blah and Martha telling the world about 1 billion a day, whatever ---- keep your mouth shut next time)   This would never have been looked at otherwise. Brilliant.


I am glad its getting 'balanced'/fixed AKA the Perp Sledgehammer,,,,,  Its all game breaking anyways ----






Thanks for the infinite money and infinite subs - too easy

oh, forgot, thanks for the infinite tech too.  lol

Re: 100 Beacon Challenge.

You seem to be implying that I did this by accident?  Perhaps, I got exactly what I wanted.  Something to think about...
