Everyone just needs to chill and enjoy the free video game

[heartbrand]

The tone is getting way out of control. Red Dawn won ONE fight. During this fight the GMs made some calls. They weren't because of fraps or our petitions. If you disagree with those decisions then petition them. Red Dawn didn't write the PNP, I didn't fraps your players, etc. Nihilum still gets the majority of mobs and there's still a huge gap that will take months to close, if ever. Nihilum isn't dead, the server isn't imploding, there will be tons of more pvp in the future.

Everyone just needs to chill the fuck out, calm down the rhetoric on BOTH sides, and enjoy the fun pvp that will be occurring. Hopefully this renewed time of contesting will bring all sides fun and increase server pop. The personal attacks, etc., need to stop. I will not promote douchebaggery of "you have fifteen seconds to get out etc." If you die and surrender you can have anyone assist you in CR for as long as it takes as long as you and your friend are scooting.

I want this server to be fun. OOC and the forums are getting out of control. Let's stop making this place look like a shit hole, when in fact it's about to get incredibly fun. Let's stop looking for ways to grief and instead look for ways to bolster the server pop. Help a newb with some gear and pl. Make a promotional post on a different Internet forum. Pass out flyers at your local k-mart. Together, we can make red99 fun and thriving. Isn't that why we are all here?

nah, thanks for the shitty rules

Don't like the rules? Quit, play on one of the other servers, or make your own. Problem solved.

Heartbrand aint the victim here. Though the way he states it makes it sound like he wants to be.

But people really do need to chill. Seriously I've been around for a long time and /ooc use to be full of espirit decore and friendly banter, and NO U's and UMADS.

Shits getting over the top.

Just play the game and stop trying to run it like a business or a 3rd world dictatorship.

And in that sentiment I agree with HB completely.

TBH though, if anyone is being victimized it's nihilum this time around. And I was one of the people that called for shit like that. Now that I see it. I'm kinda sad about it.

I'm done being a R99 politician. PST me in game if you want XP or pvp.

[Tassador]

Fact of the matter is new players come here and are like wow no one in these zones lets level up have fun. Then read that caca spewed on ooc an are like woah! I just want to shoot the shit fuck this. You go to the courts play with some balling cats they win they say GG you get off the court. Good luck finding this on red.

[thisuserwasbannedlol]

only nihilum playing victim card cause they lost dragons

pretty funny

[Clark]

Nihilum mad, bad, fat, ect

[Nirgon]

They don't want or enjoy PvP. They want to be the only ones here.

[Koota]

Where's your Calenture of Hate guild affiliation in your signature, Nirgon!?

Doubt you'll believe me but this isn't true. Even after the lost engagement in SolB the response in TS was almost unanimously that it was a blast up until people started getting banned. PVP is not the issue here, it is all PVE/pixel related.

I think the issue here is we have a game that revolves around gaining equipment. It is the only means of character progression. Then we have 100% non instanced content. By definition for a guild/individual to get something, someone else has to not get it.

Honestly if it were up to me I'd give up a handful of lower tier raid targets and leave them open in exchange for RD not contesting Trakanon until Velious release. But it's not my decision and I also didn't have to fight for the current advantage Nihilum has, so I can understand why leadership doesn't want to give things away.

And I'm just a nobody trying to make a dent forumquesting unsuccessfully. I just hate seeing people get banned is all.

Do you honestly think that is a good deal? Yeah no trak bp's or epic pieces until velious. I commend you for wanting peace, but face the facts. You joined the winning side because you wanted the pixels and now the pixels aren't as numerous, so now you're trying to preserve the status quo that's been going on for about 1.5 years.

[Kinamara]

agree with OP. It's lame as hell to see people get banned and leave if theyre not exploiting.

I really think a game-mechanic solution to the LNS rule would be better than the current send-in-the-most-petitions-to-win one.

They were exploiting. They violated the server rule set. Ban them with fire.
They didn't follow the previous rule set either. NO sympathy for the toxic neck-beards.

Yes actually I think it is.

And not that it matters but I joined Nihilum because Thrilla and Oddjob are old EQ pals from RZ/SZ. They are the ones that asked me to come play here. Pixels had very little to do with it. Most twinks in unrest have 10x better gear than I do.

Everyone has such a negative view of everyone else here. And I do not want peace. What I want is an end to the banquesting and rule lawyering.

Basically every post I've made in the last 24 hours I've tried to stay neutral and see both sides. I've tried to propose things that require both sides to agree. I've done my best to not sink to insults. In exchange I've been called a nobody, a loser and that all I care about are my precious pixels that I don't even have. But at least I feel better having tried, despite the dismal failure.

Recent bans were due to pvping on a pvp server and claims of newly implemented rules being broken.

double post sry

You can't be on either side and claim neutrality. There are only a few people who are truly neutral on this server and they aren't in either Red Dawn or Nihilum. Deep down everybody is going to fight for self preservation. So you coming in here and saying that you are the neutral messiah is BS. Drop Nilly tag and run around guildless. You'll find out how fair your friends are and why the PnP was brought in.

Keep on keeping on sir.
