who else quit since new server?

[Runya]

I think its p dumb to play here since new server is gonna come out......whos coming with me?

[runlvlzero]

Why is it dumb? Please respond with reason, example below.

You can have two chars.
You can work on both at the same time.
You don't have to quit playing r99 to level on teams99.

Teams99 is probably a long way off.

You will have both chars later on, on the same server. None are going away.

stacking gear on empty red99 for the merge

prepare ur anuses

[Runya]

Who said they gonna merge? Nothing fixed here and didnt hear any plans to fix just a new server.No plans for this server......plans for new server = dumb idea to play on this one.Should forget this box Rogean aborted it

sorry dude but did you even listen? the first hour they stated looking into nerfing clickies and fixing resists, they are in talks of brining in a new coder to specifically fix resists and shit. ?

R99 will merge into Teams99 or Teams99 will merge into R99 in about 6 months after release.

[Runya]

Nah didnt listen....arent you for the team server also? You think its worth playing here?

[SamwiseRed]

elderan i need your numbers and calculations on the good team, do i have your calculator?

[SamwiseRed]

yes im for teams, ive been for teams since i found this box. ffa is the lamest ruleset and least immersive. i hope they just go SZ style but i understand their concern for grief. i hope we at least get deity wars and ofc must be hardcoded or its just ffa with different colored names.

[Bazia]

farmin that gear on dead99 while yall battle over hate armor

see ya 6 months after hehehehehe

[Runya]

My only beef with teams are assholes on same team you can never kill.....But again would you play here when you could go farm manastones on other server until merge? I wouldnt...wish they had the new server rdy to launch

[Syft]

There going to merge the two servers after a 6-12 month period, whichever server has the most player's will remain, the player's left on the least populated server will have the option to transfer to the other red server or blue server.

Either way all your characters on Red99 or teams server will end up on only 1 red server.

[Runya]

farmin that gear on dead99 while yall battle over hate armor

see ya 6 months after hehehehehe

Not a bad idea

[SamwiseRed]

oh thats what he meant be stacking gear. actually it would be a good time for non nillys to gear up. sounds like a win win situation for all.

[Bazia]

assuming you are not rolling team nihi better be running deep as FUCK if you think you seeing legacy items

ill just farm dozens of fungis and dragon gear on dead99 in prep for merge

enjoy that l guk farming in the meantime hehehehe

[Bazia]

farming while i box on teams99 for pvp*

[Bazia]

no ones believing that, you can develop a better troll coach

i believe in u

[Runya]

Drop new server already~

[Azure]

Red99 will be in Velious

Team99 will be in classic/early Kunark

U dum?

Only reason this "merging" rumor is around because people like you would committ suicide if you knew the real truth: its a wipe!

I owned you in your main thread so you come here and spam a new one.

The order of whats to be:
Fix R99 and pvp in general (classic resists, clickies, spells)
Release teams99 with an ACCELERATED timeline to catch it up to red99 and blue
Merge the lower pop server. Maybe even changes like take away item loot for merge.

Yeah red and blue will probably have velious before merge. Meaning teams99 could be screwed a bit. But if teams 99 has a large population and wins the merge it will be fine as they will have plenty cohesive guilds organized to resist the zerg. Something R99 does not have now.

If teams merges into 99, people will have an opportunity to get guises and be super fuckin happy.

No U.

I'm 16 now on R99, just got there last night during the livestream. I'm super excited :p About the chance of a new box and new toons down the road. I'm going to see how far I can get before teams99 comes out.

[Silikten]

It's very easy to add stipulations to transfers. Maybe they will make it so that no legacy items flood over? Maybe make it so no VP floods over to team99? Maybe just a naked character (semi wipe)?

This is just an idea up in the air to help the population for pvp. How about you try and get on board and stop crying about it. Help, not cry.

[Runya]

Believing what? It makes way more sense than "merging" servers. How can you merge a server thats in velious with one that is in classic/kunark? Open your eyes and disregard your pixel lust, the truth is out there. Your loot is GONE.

Should just wipe now

[Bazia]

im on board

farm red99 azure robes for all

prepare to rage war on bluebie teams99

[Runya]

im on board

farm red99 azure robes for all

lol.....how would teams be decided upon a merge

[Bazia]

let rogean worry about that, while i worry about getting geared up on empty server

[Runya]

LOL this rumor has worked perfectly for GMs

Heres the truth:

1) They can't call it a wipe, or it goes against EVERYTHING they've said for 2 years.
2) They find a new way to phase out Red99 where they can minimize the outcry from players by having a rumor about "merging the server after 6-12 months"
3) There is NO POSSIBLE WAY they can merge Red99 with Team99 in that timespan.
----Red99 will be in VELIOUS
----Team99 will be in CLASSIC or EARLY KUNARK

Stop being gullible fools!! Red99 pixels are GONE!

Regardless you cant merge ffa to teams......can only do other way around.I dont think merger will happ.If you think server was dead before take away the teams pop.Shoulda had new server rdy to launch before you brought it up

[Bazia]

yeah i dont think the merger will happen even though rogean and nilbog said no matter what it will be a merge and no deletes

also sirken just told me in game there will be a merge from old red to new red

farm it up boys prepare for war

[Runya]

I would prefer server vs server be the teams =p

[runlvlzero]

/tinfoil

Dood you are now assuming what other people are going to do in a fictional future. If they were gonna wipe they wouldn't have had a round table.
They wouldn't be open about it.

If their intention was to wipe: One day red would just be gone. Or merged to blue. And a new server would be there.

Taking a democratic and magnanimous gesture and saying that its a conspiracy to wipe is crazy.

Could not find any good tinfoil hat gifs.

They said that velious will be out AFTER the merge..

Timeline

1st day - New server releases
3 months - New server moves to kunark
6 months - Servers merge
6+ months - Velious gets released

I know you are a troll, just wanted to inform those who didnt know.

[Elderan]

if server launches in 6 months, velious is winter 2014?

Sounds like it...

[mostbitter]

I quit for today, but i might come back after i actually watch the stream but i wish there was official cliff notes or something cus i dont trust any of yall

[runlvlzero]

Trust me. It'll be good. Free Tunak. Max will live on in infamy.

R99 will merge into Teams99 or Teams99 will merge into R99 in about 6 months after release.

Ya, but are they going to fix any of the real problems (resists, bugged spells, etc.) or is this just a switch to teams PvP? Personally, I don't see teams helping fix any of the glaring issues with the server other then forcing the dysfunctional Nihilum opposition forces onto the same team, and that won't change the fact that Nihilum will still be dominant.

For me and my wife, I don't see anyway we could play our current characters together on a teams PvP box without a race / religion change if transfers are allowed. That means we would have to re-roll, or transfer to blue if that is an option. I don't want to play on a blue server. Neither of us want to re-roll after investing time on our characters. Especially, with the risk of history repeating itself, and the new PvP server being fundamentally changed yet again. As I see it, that leaves us two options: 1) wait and see what PvP box wins, hoping for FFA, or 2) just quit.

Changing ruleset so you may not want to play anymore, but not a wipe!

We don't know the specifics or if this will be an issue or not. Just that they are thinking of a new server. May merge to or from it. The trial period is tentatively 6 months. Red is getting fixed first. They will try some cavalier things like custom item loot on the new server.

Really to much to speculate about to worry about it. But your chars will live through. I won't deny some casual players may get hurt by it in the long run. But thats speculation at this point. Might be good for you guys too. Your best bet for accurate information is to listen to Rogeans complete stream. This thread is going to roll over and over with people not reading prior posts, or arguing about facts. Likely going to get a bit of trolling. The pages up to "Free Tunaks" image should help answer what people "believe".

***Sirken had a short stream where he answered some questions and he is very considerate of not breaking up guilds/players.

[Something'Witty]

Really to much to speculate about to worry about it.

Too much uncertainty about the future of the server / our characters has been introduced making "not worrying" difficult at best. What the devs should have done is fix the well known resists / PvP bugs everyone complains about first, launch velious, then do the current server slight of hand BS as a last resort.

As is, what is the motivation to keep playing on the FFA PvP server? The launch of the new teams PvP server will probably drain the FFA PvP server's population, making the teams PvP server the likely "winner." Current FFA server characters will be offered a transfer to blue (yay?), because that will be WAY easier then offering race / religion changes so friends / guilds aren't forced onto opposite teams.

I know there is no way to predict the future, what I outlined is simply what I believe to be the most likely scenario. I just don't know if I want to hang out in limbo, especially stuck in Kunark, waiting to find out what actually happens.

[Azure]

What I got from the stream is basically the plan of action you outlined. They just didn't do it in secret and instead wanted to talk about the new server. I think they may be pushing to do it earlier than Velious though.

[Syft]

Changing ruleset so you may not want to play anymore, but not a wipe!

Player's: Hey what about everything we've been asking in threads for year's like resist coding, clicks nerf's, variance?

Dev's: What couldn't hear ya, but did you hear about this new server!

Players: Let's go post 80 threads about our new teams server and forget how nothing actually got done!
