Day off - Saturday - What's happening on Red99 - Nothing

[Stasis01]

Due to no variance, every mob worth fighting for is done one day a week for a minimal window by a force that no one can touch.

Should I even log on today? Probably not, which is why it is a barren wasteland except for people leveling up, who will eventually come to the same realization everyone else does and just stop logging on.

We have a good system here.

[DrNarcisse]

Nihilum argument: Fight us on our raid day. We will be bringing 60 level 60 players, probably 90% of the total level 60 population, with full raid gear. If you can't contest during our 3 hour window where we clear all (or the majority) of contestable raid mobs, then you can't say anything. We are the best. No one is better than us. It has nothing to do with numbers, it's all skill (and social skills!). This system gives everyone a fair chance, come and compete with our zerg..... Please.... we're sooooo bored. *Nizzar dangles distraction* Oh look, another pixel! Thanks Nizzar! See you all next week!

stasis your fucking tears are delicious.

[Stasis01]

I was in your exact position, I am not jealous of you getting raid mobs.

I am disgusted with how low populated, boring, and stagnant the box is. My 10 minutes a day of letting it known on the forums is pretty heavy tears bro.

[Stasis01]

I mean I know Nihilum benefits from the system, but just imagine if Severilous was due today and there was PVP around EJ throughout the day / people actually playing the server.

Shit would be sweet.

Well first they will join Nihilum and repopulate the churn inside the guild. Do any of you plebes in Nihilum understand why the Nihilum core remains the same, yet the general membership is a carousel of new players replacing the disgruntled? No other guild in P99 history has burned through as many players as Nihilum has in the past 2 years. Conservative estimates peg the number at 300 unique players. This server can barely get 150 to log on, for fucks sake! Understand that this epidemic is because of a broken system/server policy. Variance will keep these people playing. It will give rise to a new class of active guilds, made of friends that enjoy playing together, instead of having to create inactive zergs filled with fodder just to keep the numbers game up.

I like Gream which is why I don't actually insult him. But maybe in Velious dawg for the server first Vulak you can try out DPSing the warriors and making yourself useful instead of being carried by Elderan.

[Stasis01]

I'm just playing around though - we're all in this together pals.

Nihilum only argues Variance because they think they will stop getting pixels and being in control - NOT TRUE, we're all in this together pals. We need to get this box populated, and one of the ways in doing that is giving people the opportunity to compete and reason to log on.

[heartbrand]

It's ok bro there will always be a spot for you in red dawn when the tide turns in our favor. I will allow you to band wagon hop since I like you.

That existed at one time, on VZTZ.

Greatest EQ experience of my life.. 4 major guilds all mass pvping over control of Sebilis.. And Trakanon was not even coded into the server at that time yet. Epic shit.


Add variance to this shit hole. Nihilum does exactly what Stasis said. They log in on tuesday morning at 3AM and raid until 7AM uncontested with 50 members. Then people wonder why the server sucks and theres a low pop.

[Holey]

the fuck yall talking about we had about 2/3 of the server in ej/tt/seb like 2 months ago. if yall stop bitching about loot and aruging over dumbfuck shit, yall woulda already be running the server.

Praise the fucking duke nizzar.

It doesn't matter if the zerg incumbent is named Nihilum, the whole point is that to rule the server you simply have to do it by numbers. There is no competition, it's zerg or be zerged. When the only objective in the end game is to log on as many players as you possibly can in a single 3 hour window one time per week to kill all the mobs, the system is broken. That is a much different task than logging in the same zerg every day of the week to contest for a single mob (or a few mobs, depending on 12 hour variance spawn windows).

No, variance is not about "recruiting more people". Recruiting more people is necessary in the current system. If Nihilum showed up with 20 players on their raid day (a day in which every raid mob on the server spawns within a small window), another guild would log on 40 players, kill Nihilum, and take every raid spawn on the server. If Nihilum wanted to compete with the new guild the following week, they would recruit and bring 60 players. The following week, the other guild would be forced to bring 80 players to kill Nihilums 60 players. Eventually, you hit a point where there are simply no players left to recruit. We've had 18 months of this cycle (most of the time a cycle of only Nihilum recruiting and no other competition available). There is no one left for another guild to recruit and overpower Nihilum on their raid day.

Variance changes the dynamic of that greatly by randomly splitting up the spawns in the week. No more raid day with a 3 hour window that spawns every raid mob in the game. Therefore, just recruiting warm bodies who are capable of showing up in that environment is a wasted effort. My estimate puts atleast 70% of Nihilum members in that camp. It is going to be interesting to watch not only the turnout but also the talent displayed by these players when they're forced to log in on a day that only spawns 1 raid mob (likely with items they haven't needed in over a year) to fight active, agile smaller guilds that know how to and enjoy pvping. Nonvariance is like the british soldiers in the revolutionary war. Lining up on a preestablished battlefield clashing with another huge zerg army. Variance is like every war after that. Guerilla war tactics, no more predetermined fighting, fun.

Mass pvp on this server = 2v2

By mass pvp, this Nihilum member meant all the 1v1 duels they do during their downtime on the 3 hour raid days for every mob in game.

[lite]

There have been several times during Red's shitty history where contesting comes to live. Each time it gets shut down by one of the sides resorting to super recruitment to make competing impossible. Tactics like pixel packages, recruiting absolutely anyone willing to take a tag, and incorporating people you previously claimed to have really disliked and you used to deny entry.

This all works, and that's fine that you found a way to secure yourself from having to enter combat. Some people would prefer to be in a smaller circle whose company they genuinely enjoy. Some people play this a little more casually and would prefer to enter a teamspeak where they hear friendly familiar voices. Rather than I was goine for a few days....who the fuck are these people and why are they yelling ? The ways of the server should accommodate to more than just one type of mindset.

[Dullah]

No one "super recruited" to beat you. We beat you with equal and lesser number half a dozen times, and your members got discouraged. When you actually did win, half the guild was outraged by the way you reward loot, and your members got discouraged. Then when other guilds attempt to form an alliance with you, you were unwilling to come to a reasonable compromise, and your members got discouraged.

Thus your alliances fell apart, your members stopped logging in, and the rest joined Nihilum.

[DrNarcisse]

No one "super recruited" to beat you.

LOL! That's rich. I bet your teeth are super rotted with all the lies that come out of your mouth.

fun times indeed, sadly this server will never be VZTZ, P99RED is P99BLUE with dueling on.

VZTZ was optimized, fast paced and developed to focus on the lategame PVP.

Mobs never spawned all at the same day, they were never up "at the minute", and gear difference didnt have even close to the same importance as on this server.

People who missed out on the VZTZ boxes missed so much fun, PVP was everywhere, guilds where always competing, big basementdwelling personalitys made the server fun and encouraged anyone to take side and join in on the fun.

I remember a Guild VS Guild fight that lasted for hours over plane of fear where myself as one guild leader and Rexx as the other guildleader ended up having to fight with backup banked gear in Oggok in order to try to get back to Fear.

On this server with exp losses in pvp and exp/progression being terribly slow, people rather gate and plug then take a fight that they dont have an advantage in.

VZTZ was basicly constant drama, PVP and fun 24/7 - on RED99 nothing happends on box 165/168 hours a week.

First 3 days of the server was pretty fun tho :)

[Not_Kazowi]

VZTZ was faster paced XP with less dependence on gear. Making the journey to late game so much easier and quicker.

The server had so much PVP and there was always even competition. The only reason that server didnt average 200+ constantly was because of the 3 wipes or so. I understand a wipe every so often but it really limited the growth of the server.

If they would just leave the XP bonus in, change up some resist and damage codes and make it so mobs spawned randomly on a 12 hour window then this server would see a lot more pvp.

Nihilum is afraid of change, because they know it will be more work / threaten their dominance.

Basically the GMs either want the server to flourish, or they want to appease the top guild of 60 players. Pretty cut and dry here.
