After Velious

[Diogene]

Would that be possible to continue P99 in creating some extansion with a "different" Luclin? Totally different story background / zones /quest / spells etc... Just keeping the good old hardcore in a nice and brand new expansion. WOuld that be possible here?
If we are a lot of people with differents talents I mean, do we have any chance to do something like that or does it need TOO MUCH MONEY?

Well, just a thought.

[Fists]

that would take serious amounts of time and money.

[Itchybottom]

It wouldn't take any money aside from what the server already costs, time would be the premium. It can be done, quite a few custom servers have come and gone with some amazing things and only one world builder behind it.

[Eternal-Elf]

These people need to get hired on somewhere with the kind of talent they have....

[Kinamur1999]

PERSONALLY!!!!!




I would love to see everything get deleted. whether they start over from scratch or restore from a point is up to them. but I personally think this server has gone on far enough for now. I see box PLers everyday, it would be at least Nice to have another zone to go to so I could get away from them.

After veilous, re-roll this bitch!

errr.. on second thought, after Kunark re-roll it!

Nothing like the glory of day 1 on a new server with everyone naked scrambling after that first skeleton with a cracked staff.

That's what this game is all about. :)

(hell, re-roll it now!)

I already wanna level a necro 1-50 again.

[Eternal-Elf]

ya the IP exemptions thing has really been a great vow of trust from the devs.....but a huge issue with peoples lies and deceit.
I see boxers ALOT.

just blows.....if I wanted it to be lame and easy.....well I'd play EZ server.

[xorbier]

Boxing is not an issue on this server lmao you guys are delusional or assume incorrectly. The GMs do an excellent job of enforcing this and many players cry false accusations when it's merely friends PLing their friend or its a PL being done by someone who legitimately paid pp for the PL. I've been accused of boxing several times as I enjoy duoing with several friends and it does get annoying. I'm very anti boxing and agree it would be bad for the server but you guys are way overreacting to a problem that doesn't exist like you say it does.

I just got here so my opinion doesn't count for much. I haven't noticed any boxing so far and I had a couple of people go out of there way to make sure it didn't appear I was being boxed last night so I think there is a lot of support for straight up play.

On the other hand (and no dis to you folks that have already made the top), I would love to see the server wiped clean so I could really start from the beginning with everyone else. Of course that's completely selfish. Even so, from a personal perspective it would be cool. Wish I had been in when the server first got going.

[Cyrano]

The server practically was wiped clean during the Great DDoS Sundering of 2010, lots of old school players took extended breaks or simply didn't return.

It would be technically possible. But it won't happen on this server as has been stated over and over (and over and over) by the server devs.

FYI DEVS.. THIS IS THE KIND OF TALK THAT REALLY RUINED VZ/TZ.. It was the whiners like this who casually ask for other players accounts to be destroyed so things are "equal". The devs on VZTZ have been Banning the people who use this kind of speech in game or on the boards and allowing them the opportunity to race to the top again... just by themselves... and If you want server integrity it may be advisable to follow this approach.

Well, it wouldn't take any money. Like said above though, it would take a LOT of time. Creative content control is always nice though :P

There has already been a thread discussing some of this stuff. http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=9149

I see you talk about boxing in lots of posts you've made. Either.. report them or stop complaining about it. If anything, you're projecting a delusion that people don't get caught, or banned, which might make more people try and do it. Perhaps we should institute a rule that makes you liable for a boxing-crime that you witness and don't report.

We're still uncertain of the max player capacity of the server. It is untested by our hardware or eqemu in general I'd guess. If the population keeps going up, we might get a second server before Velious arrives. Who knows ;P

Kastro, if everything that I've heard is true, there's a lot more than forum posts that ruined VZTZ. I'm not censoring posts of people wanting to play on a fresh server. Hell, if I was a new player, I'd want a fresh start if it was an option. Perhaps you should explain to them why you don't want a server wipe. Anyways, wipe = not going to happen.

What a maroon! I didn't ask for accounts to be destroyed. I didn't say anything about "equal". I wasn't "whining". I even said that it was purely selfish and wouldn't it be nice as a new player from a "personal perspective". If a dev came to me and said, "we'll wipe the server if you say so", I'd say no. I don't know enough about where things lie yet. I don't know how big a problem PLing and boxing really is. I don't know if there are compelling reasons either way. I simply said that, as a new player, it would be nice if it were a clean server.

Geez, some people are so sensitive.

[Sinder]

multiple players on same IP = moot point. pro boxers will just VPN and risk way less than the lesser offender boxing from the same IP i'd imagine. if IP was all that was checked when looking at boxers there would be a bunch of family or roommate players who would be outed and plenty of the big bad wolfs waiting for their field day

[Mitochondria]

I haven't gotten my ip exception yet but I am really starting to worry that me and my wife are going to be constantly accused of boxing. We duo 80% of the time and I am sure it looks like we are boxing. I understand the problems with boxing on a server like this and I sure won't miss it but I sure hope I don't have to deal with being accused of it again and again.

[sleepingwolf]

How do we handle the ip thing? My wife is starting to get jealous watching me enjoy reliving the glory days of eq and is dropping hints for me to set up another box so she can play too.

Submit a request for exemption mentioning the two accounts which you want to be able to play from the same IP.

What's the turn around on an exemption? I submitted the request a few days ago and I haven't gotten a response yet? Not huge deal because my wife and I play at different times but we'd like the option to play together like we used to.

I mentioned in another thread that when 2boxing is more likely happening than not, but still iffy enough to be questionable, that I don't report. Would you rather get the iffy reports? I don't really know what resources you have available to investigate beyond frapses and screenshots sent in. What's your take on when to report?

I'd love a second server simply to get away from the sickening powerleveling / twinking that goes on here. To me, that's simply cheating. I'd love if spells, other than healing, could not be cast on players 10 levels lower than the spell. Most importantly, DS.

I'm sure any important camps are permapcamped by lvl 50s in their quest for twink gear. Ghey....very ghey.

One major reason expansions were needed were to get those 50s the fk out of those camps so up and coming players could finally get at them.
