Off the wagon and back to Pinnacle

I recently returned to Pinnacle after spending some time on other servers for 4 years or so.

For any of you long timers, way back when I lived on Pinnacle, I used to be in a supergroup run by Schnax -- something with a black and blue division, but I can't remember the name exactly. My mains were Suspicious Pkg, Green Nuke, Zentropy and Bloodnut. I remember running with the likes of NIGHTOFIRONSTAR, Crypton, and others.

Anyhow, to the point of my post -- I'm currently leveling a brute on blue side and it seems kind of quiet. Real quiet. Some posts less than 6 month old recommend joining the PinnBadges and Cozmic's Playground channels. Are there any others I should join to get re-integrated and more importantly, find drinking buddies?

Cheers!

PinnBadges seems to be where a lot of the fun gets coordinated - or, if it's started elsewhere, warm bodies will be solicited on PinnBadges. Or, if you want warm bodies, you can generally find them there. They may or may not be coherent but they will be alive.

I know the SG you're talking about because I used to have a character in it, but not anymore, and I've forgotten the name. Something with "League" in the name, I want to say.

NIGHTOFIRONSTAR became KNIGHTOFIRONSTAR, then he left the server (and the less said about that, the better).

PinnBadges is the more active of the two global channels you mentioned, mostly just because it has more idle conversation. Some other tidbits: Talsorian Guard is currently holding weekly RWZ raids on Sunday nights, I believe at 8-9ish PM EST. As for Incarnate trials, those are generally formed in RWZ here on Pinnacle. BAF and Lambda, of course, get run the most often, with the occasional Speed Lambda (SLam), but Keyes gets run more frequently now since the changes, along with TPN and sometimes Minds of Mayhem (Underground gets run infrequently but it has been known to happen).

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

Oh sure, when you guys aren't on vent or hitting the auto-mute when I'm typing. :-p

Either you responded to the wrong post or I have no idea what the hell you're talking about. I don't even use Vent.

Mothership raids are at 9:30 EST; recruiting begins at 9:15. See the regularly-updated post in this forum.

I've also seen several redside CoP runs open to the public lately; the PinnBadges MotD currently lists CoP for Saturday at 7pm EST and UG trial for Friday at 8pm EST.

You'll find the quiet factor depends heavily on when you play. I've seen things organized in the late morning or early afternoon, but mostly PinnBadges is active roughly 7pm-12 EST, much as you'd expect...

(Of course, with the Spring Fling starting up, I imagine the usual help channel crowd will start advertising as well, trying to get the opposite faction in for the special missions...)


I'm new-ish. Again.
@Kahzi. Pinnacle, mostly.
