On the day we defeated Hamidon without gimmicks in a straight in your face fight - I became Incarnate. The game can hand that out now if they want to but when me and 149 of my friends kicked Hamidons *** after months of planning - that was hard.

Aside for the errant 'Desdemona running suicidally to her death' wrinkles that come married to uncompleted content, there hasn't been another game event that required some servers months of planning and endless mass defeats, 'death fests' as they were known, during the many attempts to work out a winning strategy.
Of course within a week of garnering globs of the 50% pre-nerf HO's the experienced raiders were running the event on cruise.
So yes, to the snark '2009', it initially was 'uphill, in the snow', compared to anything that's come after it.
As to any auxiliary points in the thread, I honestly didn't read it.
