[s1ckness]

we can always hope for the best

[Origin]

Ready

[Swish]

Teams will likely launch as soon as red begins to thrive again, cursed server is cursed.

[Lowlife]

want phresh teams srvr

[Junkman]

pretty sure they rather work on "velious" then a teams server for 100 ppl just saying just saying

[Smedy]

what about the 500-1000 incoming from eqmac that can't fit on the blue server and don't want to sign up for a toxic where they can't get manastones or de masks, i think teams gonna thrive, hopefully nihilum stays on red99 too that would be greatness

[Mellor]

Just release it... or give us the release date... Must be others than me with an itch to play, but not willing to grind on red99 just to reroll on teams99

They just need to open another blue server really...

Would solve the issue.

[Smedy]

Issue is, they don't want more then 2 servers in the end, teams99 is going to act like a bridge to red99, to renew the player base and try to get new blood on here.

It's not possible to get new blood into red99 as it is now, it's just gotten way to far, teams99 with the current red99 code + global ooc etc will give new players a much better experience and hopefully with that experience more people will stick around, and eventually it will merge into red99 where you have farmed for a year uncontested and more fun will occur

I think if they just kept red99 , the pop would maybe grow by 50 and 75% of those would end up in nihilum which in the end would lead to a dead server where nihilum raids uncontested, not what u want to see if youre running a pvp server

[BrobbVZ]

Im looking forward to Teams.. Probably going Evil with my crew.

No global OOC if teams. Only team wide chat... and maybe not even that.

[Smedy]

either way, just having teams so you dont get insta griefed at lvl 4 in the newb area + not having pvp exp death + having guards assist you on faction + having better resist system is going to have an enormous inpact on the early population, i think red99 lost 60% of the population within the 2 first weeks.

Lost more population due to Amelinda and the Holocaust drama, people saw writing on wall.

Teams will thrive.... until the merge happens, then it will degrade back into the clusterstuff that is red99.

Personally don't have a problem with the idea of T99. I just want them to release it on a correct timeline. If velious is anytime in the next 6 months they should release it and then release T99 4-6 months into velious. Red should be running with 300ish pop nightly with Velious which I think most can agreed it a nice number.

Then once Velious starts to wear on people and those not in the top guilds bore of it again they will have T99 waiting for them.

The worse thing they can do is release T99 and then have velious release anytime within 6 months of its release. The blue players who went to T99 would go back to blue and some of the ex red players would go back to red leaving T99 in a bad place.

[SamwiseRed]

who da fuck cares about velious. t99 more important.

this. this. this.

mac users want manastones.

nilly wants a pixel wasteland.

everybody will be happy.

This is (or should be) a key factor for the staff. With Mac right about to end this is a huge opportunity to boost the project. Will these incoming players be content to shuffle into the current servers? Some of them, sure. Would we get more of them if they had a fresh server to play on? Absolutely.

If the staff really wants to capitalize on this they will bring teams out as soon as possible. Hopefully not prematurely, but it should be the priority over Velious.

Spoken like a pixel junkie.

NO ONE that quit Red99 due to it being a toxic wasteland is going to come back for Velious. The only people that may come back, are Nihilum who got bored killing Trak and VS for the 121st time and want to farm Velious uncontested.

Red99 needs to go quietly into the night, vanish without a fight, and make room for Teams99. Teams99 is A New Hope.

Red99 is and ALWAYS will be a wasteland going forward. No amount of 'new/returning blood' will stop the pixel train that EVERY FFA server proves to be. Mass inviting and only caring about Pixels is detrimental to EVERY emulated server due to sheer population numbers.

The best thing you can do is release Teams99 ASAP. Put it on an accelerated timeline, then Merge red/teams upon Velious release; keeping the Teams99 ruleset.

[freez]

Already said its going to happen. They want 2 servers.

500-1000 incoming from eqmac does not exist.

[Stinkum]

This is actually the worst thing they can do imo. I think we all learned the lesson of what happens when you rush to release a server that's only 1/2 finished with Red99. It didn't take very long for the 600-700 pop at server launch to plummet to ~50 people. That attrition was mostly due to lack of development on key things that should've been fixed in beta (guard assist, etc).

Dont make the same mistake twice.

I am waiting for teams, however I will only play if the exp is at least double what it is on Red99. This way I do not have to quit my job and poopsock my way to keeping up with all of the other neckbeards who shit in a bucket and piss in a bottle. Would be nice to have a server with everyone on even ground and the ability to pick a team so you are not getting shit fucked by a group of mouth breathers as soon as you hit lv 10. Zone control will be fun to see where the lines will eventually be drawn.

Sooner the better, winter is coming fuckers.

[big mouth chew]

exp should be about 1/5th what it is on red otherwise teams will be just as watered down and unclassic as red is nameeaan

[big mouth chew]

also: permadeath + electric shock

[Rust1d?]

exp should be about 1/5th what it is on red otherwise teams will be just as watered down and unclassic as red is nameeaan

The reason why red99 went from 700+ people to 150 is because the exp was terrible. I quit after lv 22 long after all the people I played with quit.

[big mouth chew]

and yet the world keeps turning
weird

[Rust1d?]

You think 150 people on a server with Kunark is a lot? Imagine 700. The only people who stuck it out are bucket shitters.

[big mouth chew]

in the time it took to post that an estimated 4 new players have joined red and already outleveled you

[Stinkum]

Slow xp works great with capped levels. Make the maximum level 10 for the first 2 weeks of the server. Then raise the cap by 10 levels incrementally on a timeline. This would facilitate low-level and mid-level PvP and allow newcomers to catch up to the action. I don't think anyone likes the stratification of all PvP activity to the 52+ range. There should be tons of mid range PvP, and low-level zones should be fought for tooth and nail. You should be PvPing all the way to 60.

My 2 cents.

[big mouth chew]

i agree with you stinkum however i dont think unemployeed nerds should be punished more than they already are by their shitty existences
i took my sweet ass time leveling up on red, and therefore had years of pvp ranging from low to mid to high

if someone wants to outlevel everyone, farm a couple camps while they wait for people to catch up and then quit as soon as theres in-range competition i dont see a problem with that

Naw wow has lvl cap zones and battlegrounds I heard Stinkum

keep serverwide ooc
they should hardcode it so evil teams could not send tells to nuet/good .. only send tells to evil players or something like that .. keep the spies out and people cant crossteam

why would u want to farm uncontested velious? best part of velious was there was pvp everyday over raid mobs unlike the once aweek pvp on red99 .

nilly will have over 100 in ToV while the other 3 or 4 small guilds randomly get lodi/thurg quest gear ..

gear gap in velious is huge and it will end up being nilly only on the server which is what they want. Might as well open T99 and Velious at the same time.

Let teams do 3months Classic, 3 months kunark, 6months velious(so people can get gear 2 contest on red99) , then merg servers .

[Retti_]

Language barrier that cant be read/learned by other side

[Dantragg]

Bring on T1999 !

IDC about the exp just want fresh server.

Fucking hell no one wants to level on a dead box chewie, T99 needs to happen so we can all the the first neckbeards to 50 with full rubi, FBSS, and resist gear.

If it is certain the servers will merge, which it is, someone dedicated to catching up would actually be better off rolling on red99. That way they could receive handouts like it seems every damn noob coming to this server receives. Also, if the server is dead they can walk right into Nihilum and raid whatever content they want while teams is still sitting in classic without Kunark.

Teams will be a server that is fun until the merge, then all will have been for nothing. You have to play the teams server with the mind set that it is temporary and just for fun.

Keep in mind they haven't been too descriptive about how the merge will even work. They were throwing ideas all over the place during a single discussion, and I'm sure many things will change by the time they actually hash out the ruleset and plans for teams.

For all we know they'll scrap the idea of a merge and simply naked transfer your toon to your choice of the two remaining servers. I imagine discussion about how over-farmed Red toons merging into Teams will affect the economy has to come into play at some point...

[Vexenu]

A traditional merge is really a terrible idea and would destroy the Teams server. The best course of action would be to copy Red characters to both Blue and Teams, except their Blue copies have gear and the Teams copies go naked or with a minimal, no drop gearset.

This gives Red players the choice of continuing to play their geared characters on Blue, or to re-gear their already leveled character on Teams. The characters merged to Teams should also not be available until at least one month after Kunark is released, possibly longer depending on population numbers.

This is the only solution that makes sense for both the Teams server and existing Red players.

how bout we all remember that this is an unlicensed emulated server & shed no tears when they delete our red toons
