Would you like a total drive failure and wipe"?

[Tomato King6]

Would you be happy if the drive data was un recoverable and red was forced to roll fresh?

Vote and be honest.

Wipe

[Tomato King6]

Where can I vote for you being a faggot?

dunno why don't you link another pic of yourself with the same stupid look on your face.

[Lowlife]

wype

[Genedin]

That's now how RAIDS work for the most part, which is the entire point of having one.
I'd be interested to know what RAID type they are using that has caused this type of issue.

The chances for an entire RAID array to fail to the point where data is completely lost is extremely small...... not that I don't think it would be fun... but I'd be a bit suspicious.

[hagard]

wipe wud b awesome

[Potus]

Would said wipe restart over the timeline? I like being iksar :(

[Nirgun]

maybe the drop rate on manastone won't be gimped as fuck on r99 this time around.

I had 8 manastones on p99 after 4 hours of grinding EE

[runlvlzero]

Fresh start, kunark enabled, legacy drops in and TD for a year.

Pole should be public. But I bet most of Nihi votes for wipe cause their bored of their 60 maxxed 60's. Probably wouldn't vote out of fear if it was though.

The 1 vote for no... probably someone who just got their epic.

[Knuckle]

Only reason I came back is because I was actually able to level up on my own via fungus tunic/ragebringer. If I had to try to level up a melee from scratch I'd never log in again since it would take at least a year for me to solo a rogue/monk/war to 50. If you are talking wipe you damn well better be talking two boxxing.

[SamwiseRed]

or 10 time xp hehe

[runlvlzero]

You would have plenty of groups Knuckle. But yeah w/e I can understand not wanting to solo a melee in classic.

Part of the annoyance of the box is... Everyone doesn't have access to a fungi. So yeah a lot of people don't even want to play because of your above stated reasons due to sick top heavy pop and boredom catching up.

Or complete lack of an interesting early game.

If you only have one raid controller.

Which is more than likely what they have. Will need to rebuild and then restore the data from backups.

you know why vztz got reset and wiped? because the losers cried hard enough, man up.

[runlvlzero]

you know why vztz got reset and wiped? because the losers cried hard enough, man up.

You got a point there. And Nihilum isn't stopping people from getting to 60 with the capability to contest. Just not enough people to lift that portcullis enough to let the hordes through.

On the other hand lots would love a fresh wipe regardless of Nihilum. Would be great to force you to group with my nameless alts again )

[Dolvar]

Not going to lie, i am hoping for a restart.

The thought of having 200 level 2-5 toons at the start of a new world / server would be absolutely amazing. Mass pvp every where you go. TRUE PVP / Leveling again.

____


2boxing: there is 0 negative effect to it, i dont see why it's not allowed. Modern world, modern rules... 2 boxing should be allowed but you just shouldn't be allowed to use both of them to gang up on 1 person in PvP. (which is how it is in any game you play now-a-days).

LIMITED to 2 would be perfect, but is more ideal later on than early on.

Groups at a restart would be plentiful so the "im making melee and cant solo" BS is out of the discussion due to the fact anywhere you go in lowbie zones, there will be 20+ people and you should be able to get a group fairly easy.

2 boxing? worst idea ever, remove thyself from these forums.

2 boxing? worst idea ever, remove thyself from these forums.

This guy boxes, wants an advantage so only a select few get away with it. Boxing will make the grind fun. More people will come back. Not to mention I can easily bring over another 50 legit players from other games. Hell it would make it real easy to make red as big as blue. I know all sorts of people.

lol I box? only have 1 account you troll.

2 boxing would not make the grind fun, it would only make it easier to solo and lead to EVERYONE having a OOR heal bot.

And you know all sorts of people huh? 50 legit players? more like the 5 people playing LoZ so that they can box.

as do i. Have a list of people i know that over the years i've tried to get them to come back to the game from live and refuse to because of the 2 boxing rules. having 150 at peak hours is lame, with 2 boxing could easily triple it with NEW PLAYERS coming to the game.

limit it to 2 and the rule be you cannot grief / pvp on both toons at the same time.

would bring so many new players to the game and allow the grind to be so much more fun during slow hours.

not sure if you realize how many melee quit before hiting 60 and go on to a new game because they can't find a group. l0l.

I'm not advocating boxing, but population on this server is seriously fucked when it comes to grouping. The only way to get my members up to 60 is to basically have somone log in a lvl 60 cleric and chanter and stick them in the group. This is taxing and draining on everyone inolved. Boxing would be a quick fix. not really a good solution to the problem though, as like you have said everyone will have a OOR healbot during pvp.

No real answer here.

[Dolvar]

not hard to have strict rules when it comes to boxing toons and oor healing for pvp due to the boxing.

for example: boxing a lowbie / druid.

whatever buffs are on for the plvl (druid oor) they stay, but if the druid heals while being boxed, or buffs furthur during pvp fight is going on, said acct has action taken vs it.

Shards of Delaya, has a very strict 2 boxing rule. Cant go past 2 accounts. Must concede defeat if someone comes up and attacks during pvp (if one is oor / not flagged pvp) 24hr ban, 3 day ban, 1 year ban. are their penalties towards such things.

Boxing doesn't kill the game, if anything it enhances it.

I have a bard, mage, druid, and a necro.... ALL can solo.

I was forced into these classes and not something i'd enjoy more due to the fact you cannot solo as a melee class....

If i were able to box without penalty, i would have made a rogue or warrior SOMETHING I enjoyed more than what i was forced into due to lack of players on the red server at lower levels for grouping.

This statements has been said by many people old and new.

[Bazia]

the developer who plays on this server would never allow it to get wiped

The fifth of the month is coming up. A lot of Nihilum panicking as they find their NFP bank account assets frozen.

Wipe it clean.

he nor anyone else has a choice if it is a hardware problem and they cant recover everything.

It would be good to see a fresh server, and clean wipe for red or even blue/new server for that matter but do you actually think either of them will happen ? Might as well bank on EQnext being somewhat decent tbh.

what else he gonna do

[Colgate]

what are the odds that you will constantly blame hacks for you and your pals' losses?

[Runya]

A wipe is about all that could save the server.......having nerds farm the server when no one else played was kinda gay.Cant believe that hybrid penalty still in........I feel bad for anyone just starting out on this server

[Agatha]

I'm playing a hybrid atm, shits classic as fuck. but its not bad.

[Tomato King6]

you are a lot more committed then most Agatha

you also have endless time.

I played live.....biggest guild was Ascending dawn.....there was also like 6 other big guilds.So lets say AD had 100ppl,Wudan would have 90 etc you get the picture.Not a guild(nihi) that had more than the next three guilds down the line combined.This one big guild is a blue server mentality.But hey this is pretty close to a blue server.

[Tune]

AD ran shit, server was just as stupid.

eq is not hard, to even have an ego for such a thing is pretty dumb

IF Eq next is decided by forum pvp, we'll have some pros from this box for sure

keep talking

[Lokinis]

Personally a wipe would be fun. More pvp. regardless of the current state. Even if it turns out the same way it would still be fun. Egos and pixels pixels aside. The fight over zone control xp spots ect would mean a lot of fun. The pixels is what will stop tye wipe frm ever happening. Zerge will still remain supreme but lets face it. There isn't pvp anymore. Its a farm fest. Lets see how many fungis we can horde in the bank for alts well never play. Even sirken said stop farming and pvp already over ooc not but a week or 2 ago. Lets have a reason to farm shit again. A reason to fight over guk... but al the arguing is moot it won't happen. Live with what we got or move on. Thats the options

[s1ckness]

wipe it clean

[Runya]

You know AD did run shit........but Peacebreakers/LV/Wudan/Curse/MiM etc were almost equal in numbers and shit was contested alot.To compare yourselves to AD is funny.There will never be fights on here like the ones on live.....I watch the next two biggest guilds merge and not even have your numbers.....Its not totally your fault because the pop isnt high enuff to compete but the rampant over inviting that you guys did is part your fault.On raid night you guys are half the population....i guess its really just all the quitters fault for not hanging in there......half of them quit not because of pvp its because they couldnt farm pve......and thats a whole other problem

Have messed around with tune on multiple occasions with recruitment, have told him im lvl 20 and 30 on various chars, while not allowing anyone to app until 51, he encouraged me both times to keep in contact through the leveling process so he could monitor my progress.

RECRUITING LEVEL 30s, like holy shit.

[Gustoo]

I used to want a wipe for a fresh start but now I'm thinking that most people wanting a wipe won't cut it on round two anyways.

[Gustoo]

i think if there was a wipe, your ego would be going wild being on the same play field as everyone else.

He would be on the same playing field for the first 8 hours, and then when everyone else goes to bed and he plays another 8 hours he would be twice as far into the game as you and win again from sheer time played.

Level 1-20 pvp goofy action would be great but maximum sockers would pull together again and there would be no difference besides a lack of confidence in Rogean that their hard earned pixels won't be deleted a second time. With bad non item loot ruleset any new players from blue would quickly find that PVP is more of an inconvenience than anything, and would just go back to blue where they have plenty of platinums.

[Colgate]

Move on with your lives.

[Dolvar]

Rogean will never wipe the box. He is completely against it and has posted over and over again that it will NEVER happen.


Even though I would like a wipe too it just aint a reality pal's. Move on with your lives.

as i have said in a previous thread / post....

he nor anyone else has a choice of a restart if the hardware is destroyed enough that he cannot recover everything.

at which point he would either have to restart or lock...

[Lurgort/Sseri]

As someone who just began on the server and hit level 23, I'm leaning toward no...but the fact there's a "top dog" guild who just takes everything for themselves, I'll go for yes.

[Dolvar]

It would be a whole different ball game this time around, because zergs before couldnt be touched because of xp loss in pvp. Youd have guerilla pvp crews going after the PVE zergers this time and guilds like holocaust and Nihilums would not be able to hold zones uncontested for days like they did the first time. I think this fucked the server more than everything else.

Not sure how the population would fare though, wouldnt bet on better or worse.

It would probably be alot of fun. Having stopped playing now for 2 months or so, i dont give a fuck much about my 57 shaman and contrary to 2 months ago, i think id probably have fun on a fresh new R99 box.

But this is why i think it wont happen:

Rogean will never wipe the box. He is completely against it and has posted over and over again that it will NEVER happen.

ive been praising rallos zek daily and asking for a wipe.

A brand new server with fixed resists and item loot and we leave the (dead) server to nihilum lol

lulz gettin a little excited there man. calm the hell down.

[runlvlzero]

I rolled a hybrid on blue to derp around, took me 4+ hrs to hit level 2.5 (watching videos and randomly killing streaks of mobs). No reason for me to keep playing blue long term though. So I'm not going to dedicate a grind to it.

I still plan on rolling a hybrid PvP toon when I get my class gear together on red though. Going to take it slow and ez fighting as much as I can along the way.

[Gustoo]

Savage hybrid grinder..heh.

If the hardware didn't actually destroy all the server data, the one hope we could have is separate PVP box with rallos rules and fresh start and we see which server thrives.

I honestly love red99 no matter what though. I wish it was better, but I like it anyways.

Ames is right but people are just trying to live in a fantasy world while server is down and stuff.
