Just curious if any golden oldies can fill me in on chains way back when. I see that some factions managed chains in the 10's of thousands, presumably in a time before bonuses at 10,25,50,75,100 etc. Also possibly in a time before vicodin became essentially useless.
I wonder, how long did these chains go on for? (Days.. weeks.. months?) Must have been a long time considering reading Voices profile I see they made 3000 attacks? Awesome. Thanks for any insight.
Thats a great question. And I too would like to here what was going on there, And if anyone thinks Vicodin will ever become useful again ( I personally might stock up now while its cheap.)
I used to be on a faction that would do that for fun. Even though you don't get the bonus's past 100, they would run a chain for a few days, and have thousands of attacks.
I think vicodin is still a good drug. Not nearly as necessary as it used to be. But it's nice to boost your attack strength before going for the bigger guys.
I wasn't an old school chainer... so not sure what you're expecting from me xP
Chains used to go on for as long as they could... the gains would get higher as the chain got higher...
How old school are we going here? Pre-drugs? Even then the chains could go on well into the hundreds, mugs would count towards chaining too but give far less respect.

Chaining and warring has gone through quite a few changes over time. It was only for a short period of time that you could stack unlimited energy, before that you could not stack past a full e bar so there was naturally no stacking involved in chaining. Boosters were not widely used either so it was a struggle to keep chains going while regenerating energy even in moderately large factions.
One of the bigger changes though is that all the respect you gained in chains used to be taken from the faction you chained. Plus there was no winning wars once you've gained enough respect, you'd war either until one of the factions accepted a surrender or got destroyed. So it was quite common for larger factions to extort smaller ones and usually they had to pay up or get destroyed :)

Everything took place on IRC, Leader basically just tell who to attack when.
As he said. Even then it wasn't that uncommon for a chain to be running when u went to bed, and when you logged in next morning, the same chain was still running
