A Letter to the Project 1999: Red Community

[Derubael]

Dear Project 1999 Red,

Soon we will be rolling out changes to the Project 1999 Red server. We feel these changes, along with the proper promotion, is exactly what Red 99 needs to increase it's population and create a more fun and exciting box for everyone to enjoy. We will be heavily supporting this movement both in-game, and on the forums, but there is only so much that we as a staff can do to help the box - the rest is up to you!

This means working together as a community to ensure the server is fun for everyone, including new players. There is a line that needs to be drawn when it comes to 'talking shit'. We aren't here to babysit the server; a lot of this change will be up to you, the players, to follow and enforce. This is a fantastic and fun community, so let's show that side to the new people who will be coming here. Take your old feuds, hatred, and anger, and set it aside to allow this box to flourish. Even the most bitter enemies can find a begrudging respect and meet on the common ground of fostering a new playerbase.

First impressions count. Particularly on a server like this, where the population is small and the environment means everything to new players. Take a few moments to introduce yourself to new characters you run by in Kelethin. Explain a few tips and tricks you've learned along the way. Be aware of how your behavior on the forums reflects on those around you. I know many of you strive to do this already - encourage others to do the same.

Guild leaders and officers will play a huge role in making sure this box thrives. Pull your membership as a whole aside and let them know what the expectations are for their conduct. You are in a unique position to impose sanctions on players who step out of line both in game and on the forums. Lead by example, and show your guilds exactly what needs to be done to foster a thriving population. Let's show everyone what the best Red has to offer can be.

Show Project 1999 that the PvP community is filled with more laughter, tears, and excitement than they could ever hope to achieve somewhere else. Show them the intensity, the elation, the heart racing, adrenaline pumping, whirlwind of chaos and imperfection that makes Everquest PvP great. Show them that this is their new home. Welcome them with a Lamentation to the face, followed by an offer of friendship, or the firm handshake of respect given to a worthy opponent.

Unite under this common goal; that we will not let the legacy of EverQuest PvP be lost to the ages.

<3 always,
Deru and Sirks

[iiNGloriouS]

I appreciate the post; but obviously the server has tried for the past 4 months to make something happen and pre-maturely turning off our exp bonus did not help.

I think both guides and players can appreciate the work that was done on both ends. RD and Uprising have helped a lot of fresh new faces to the scene and it is awesome. But on the flipside, lets not try to use facades when making a decision we thought was ready when in reality, wasn't even close.

Red99: You shall thrive on.

[Drakaris]

Thanks for taking the time to make that post derubael. I agree whole heartedly with every comment made especially getting over past feuds. People need to get over their hatred for other players as it only fosters a crappy environment for everyone trying to play on this box.

100% agree with the relapse comment made earlier in this thread. I've blocked the guy and have never been happier on these forums, but still he pollutes ooc with his wall of green dribble.

[Platexchange]

Dear Staff,

please understand that while this server does need the playerbase to shape up to provide a better experience to the new playerbase, the GM's have also had a direct correlation to the dwindling population as well. I along with my friends all quit the server due to the actions and inactions of the GM staff, not the griefing and shit talk the players did.

I would post quotes that would reaffirm that new players would be turned off with what and how the GM's interact with the playerbase on the board, but it will just be detrimental to server growth also. Please don't take this as a jab, I did like the server, however server growth is a 2 way street and the other side of the road needs to be addressed as well.

My attitude will never change toward nihilum until all the so called "new" nihilum members make a new guild under a new name.

other than them ive treated the entire server with respect and have been trying to promote the population as much as i can.

anybody with the nihilum tag will get the worst greifing possible to the point i hope they never log back in.

if they simply create a new guild with a new name I will treat them as a new person ive never met before.

Silly little temper tantrums and idle threats are not productive to the server growth

I like how Derubael makes a post asking people to put aside differences and try to make this box less toxic and the first two posts from Azrael people do the exact opposite. Not hard to see where the problem is.

Stop taking this game so goddamn serious.

[quido]

So keep your feud going but let's do it in a way that it doesn't alienate new people trying to get going on red. A little shit-talking is healthy but let's not light up ooc/forums 24/7. Be a good sport, win or lose. And give some noobs a minute of your time and an item or two from the bank.

[Kergan]

Yep. Don't do things like "the worst greifing (sic) possible to the point i hope they never log back in". That would be quite literally the opposite of what the staff is asking.

I for one am cool with setting aside differences. Quido would you like to be frenemies with me?

[Tassador]

I saw 100 on yesterday!

[Sektor]

Used to use the druid every single day helping and giving away tons of items to new players but right now I'm focused on getting myself 60. I've met a lot of new players along the way while leveling and there is hope. All I have is the armor on my back and a borrowed fungi. Wish I could help new players like I used to.

Also anyone that says my ooc is toxic is a moron. My smack talking brings out my competitive side and I've never said anything out of line.

[Genedin]

Az and Nihi are the shepherds for the new players and these changes soon to come and I don't foresee the toxicity of certain players lessening in any way. This is not a video game this is the most important aspect of some people's lives. Grudges, feuds, reputations, that's all they have for social interaction and meaning. Add on the number of low lvl twinks that log on simply to grief new people off the box and you have a strong barrier to entry.

Hopefully there will be a big enough change for fresh faces to take the dive and swim in the toxic cesspool that this server has become. Honestly without someone with power getting their hands dirty and cleaning this filth with their own two hands I don't have much faith in forward progress.

When you pull weeds you don't just clip off a leaf or two. You pull them up from the roots so something fresh and useful can grow.

I am highly optimistic about the upcoming changes and look forward to continue having frequent contact with the staff and Nihilum in order to ensure the server grows. If the plans laid forward last night are executed well I am confident this server will grow.

As the leader of Az it's your sole responsibility to police the behavior of your members. Forgive my ignorance, but is Jib not in your guild now? Your response here is encouraging, but in the VERY SAME THREAD you have what I assume is one of your guildmates spouting ignorantly blind hatred that completely undermines what you're saying.

Will you allow that to continue without repercussion? Your message means absolutely nothing without putting a handle on the conduct of your members.

[quido]

The staff isn't saying we have to all hold hands, Bardalicious. Jibeknn is free to hate any and all, obviously. They're asking us to foster a better environment for new players, and the two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive depending on how you go about it.

[Bardalicious]

The staff isn't saying we have to all hold hands, Bardalicious. Jibeknn is free to hate any and all, obviously. They're asking us to foster a better environment for new players, and the two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive depending on how you go about it.

How is it you think that Jibeknn is fostering a healthy environment for new players with what he's posting on the forums? Prospective new players will read that he's going to try to "grief anyone so hard that they'll quit" just for having a Nihilum guild tag in a thread that a GM made to promote civility? There's nothing healthy or competitive about that. It's pure pettiness and ignorance.

This server requires more than one guild to thrive. What's so hard about maintaining a healthy competitive spirit between the two? I mean, it's clear from his past banning for blatantly breaking the PNP that he's not interested in abiding by anything Deru is suggesting in this post, yet Lite is in the unique position on such a low population server that he can police his members with a low chance they'll quit to join a different guild.

[krazyGlue]

please for the love of god do NOT add variance. this box has low pop atm we all know this and by adding variance its only going to greif the current players. variance is only good on a highly populated box maybe if we see numbers 200+ again i say go for it. but until then dont shoot your self in the foot

[quido]

Anybody who quits because Jibeknn said he hates and intends to give a hard time to Nihilum is in the same league of pussiness that you are, Bardalicious.

[LulzSect]

6 months soon or 12 months soon?

[Bardalicious]

i have made it very clear only people with a nihilum tag will receive this treatment.

tbh this guy deserves a ban for spreading slander

So you mean the other half of the population on this 100 pop box? Real healthy attitude. I still await an answer from Lite, funny that he hasn't given one after posting that bullshit propaganda.

Anybody who quits because Jibeknn said he hates and intends to give a hard time to Nihilum is in the same league of pussiness that you are, Bardalicious.

You're just as ignorant as Jibeknn, then. The population of die-hard pvpers that still play 15 year old elf sim is very, VERY limited. If you're unable to maintain civility towards other players, especially on a 100-pop box, you deserve every bit of this shithole ghost town of a server.

negative or good feelings aren't stopping the server population. It's the twinks that an entire group of legitimate new players don't stand a chance against.

[Bardalicious]

How is a quote about me stating that I enjoy pvping relevant to this conversation? There is a huge difference between maintaining civility when you pvp against people, and being a good sport about it afterwards, than your blissfully ignorant behavior shown in this thread about wanting to grief people off of the box.

[Fame]

I joined and stayed red because of the community and because it's not blue. Becoming emotionally invested in 15 year elf sim is like the best part and I imagine what some might call the red99 right of passage into the halls of honor and glory. Bush+towers, nihi is the problem, viva la resistance!

[daasgoot]

I started on the RED server a month or so ago.. here are some of my thoughts/experiences

started a wizard in qeynos to do BB fangs quests.

was alone pretty much the whole time.. easy farming lvl 19 in 2 nights.

guy name tune gave me a couple really nice caster items

guy named nizzar came and wiped all of BB for me so i could loot all the fangs

some gnome at qeynos bank gave me some spare stuff for my wizard

selena gave me smoldering brand when i started new char (bard) that would level up faster

at lvl 4(in qeynos) someone random dude killed me while i was fighting a gnoll then left me alone

at lvl 19(gfay) druid tried to kill me.. ran out of mana and left

at lvl 19 twink named selah griefed me a bit.. but then left zone cuz a nice druid buffed me.

overall:

warm reception to the server, people were generally very nice and helpful

not much pvp

still interested in red but whenever i log on it ends up being to blue.. hard to find ports/groups. Lonely.. oh so lonely..

edit: some people also gave me random ruby's/gems that i could get some pp for..

[Laugher]

For curiosity's sake would ex nihi get the same treatment as current nihi?

Doing your best to grief someone off the server is contrary to fostering a better server no matter what guild tag they have. We're all free to do what we want, the staff asked us to help them build this server population and Jibeknn wholeheartedly declined. Not sure why you continue to defend his attitude, you seem like a generally reasonable person with an obvious agenda (to be fair, I put myself in that same category).

Players with his attitude are the exact type of person that comes in the way of progress. If it was someone wearing the Nihilum tag saying things like "I want to grief Azrael off the server" I'd speak out publicly against them, even if it was Niz.

[Nirgon]

Well if the staff wouldn't ban some of them, maybe the players can get rid of them.

Really don't see a problem with that.

For once can you stop lumping everyone in Nihilum into the group of people who played 2 years ago when you were actually active? Maybe you'd like to blame every current catholic for the inquisition or every german for the holocaust while you're at it? Jesus man, let it go.

[Susvain2]

Derubael its too late. Its just not happening. Needs a new server, keep this up if u have to/want

New server + same players = same result, unless people change their attitude. A wipe is just a temporary solution, and history will simply repeat itself.

Tune was also part of the meeting. While he might not be as outspoken on the forums, I am pretty sure Nihilum has pledge to be part of this movement as well and will be enacting similar actions.

[Kergan]

He spoke about it last night. I hope he copies your guild MOTD word for word and makes it ours.

Well done to both of you.

See you on the battlefield.

[Bardalicious]

bunch of bluebies' chiming up here think I just puked

Let's play the numbers game for a second. Looking at the front page:

Project 1999: 688 players
Project 1999 PVP: 59

If you can't realize that PVE is vastly more popular amongst the dwindling fanbase of 15 year old emulated EQ, you're beyond hope. Would it upset you that much to have more "bluebies" playing on red for you to pvp against? Or does the same 50-100 other players every night keep you content?

Rallos Zek had anti-pk guilds to cater to those types of people. It worked quite well to create a balance between the different play-styles of players. Red99 does not have that balance and suffers because of it.

This is step one. Maybe once people stop being retards on here we'll see step two.

[Derubael]

yes banned in game for forums posts

You and two others ate suspensions for your forum posts.

This isn't a new concept. We're going to make this server look more appealing to people who have been jaded by the community in the past. If that means we have to drag you kicking and screaming along with us, or leave you on the side of the road, so be it.

We aren't saying people have to hold hands. Talking shit and PvP are integral to a PvP box. But people need to know where to draw the line. If you can't figure out where that line is, you probably shouldn't be going anywhere near it.

There's always roflronzek if you don't like it here.

Going to be a great week. :)

heh, I dont even really like Jibekn, but this is far too common on this server. In standard r99 fashion, Jib is punished in a far too extreme fashion, with no explicit warning, for acting similarly to many people on the forums. If you're gonna start making examples of people, you should give explicit warning first. (Not just say vague things like "clean up your act on the forums"). Imo Jibekn's postings were never even malicious, just good natured shit-talking.

Not sure if you're new or what but Derubael and Sirken have been warning people for months to clean up their act. Everyone had fair warning and a one week suspension is hardly a punishment at all. Just enough to send a message.

Why would stoops need two clerics? Did I miss something?

Because I have Shroud of Dragonbitch and VP key and he doesn't, plus Chipp's spellbook is a little more filled out.

Gave him my necro and bard too. So he can sell dem goodies.

I'll never stop supporting you Chewie. I will admit your good natured ribbing and ingenious trolls had turned a bit mean spirited of late, but I will always remember the good times.

[Vile]

So just a week in game suspension? Not bad.. as long as the GMs keep up and continue to police people shitting up the forums..

[Kergan]

If they have to keep up then this whole thing already failed. Hopefully a few public beatings will get the rabble in line.

[Elderan]

People just need to think. If your post is not constructive in some way or helping someone then you should write it, stop, delete it and move on.

Far too long these forums have been a hate/troll fest.

You peacing out brah?

[Sektor]

You and two others ate suspensions for your forum posts.

This isn't a new concept. We're going to make this server look more appealing to people who have been jaded by the community in the past. If that means we have to drag you kicking and screaming along with us, or leave you on the side of the road, so be it.

We aren't saying people have to hold hands. Talking shit and PvP are integral to a PvP box. But people need to know where to draw the line. If you can't figure out where that line is, you probably shouldn't be going anywhere near it.

There's always roflronzek if you don't like it here.

Going to be a great week. :)

Yup. I might come back for velious when it's released in 2016.

Will still ForumQuest to keep up with my bros.

Agreed, this post was prolly over-the-top. Jibekn's issue with Nihilum stems from their crippling the box for 1 year+ by raiding unneeded content/deleting items accordingly, and ultimately discouraging pvp/redness. So, as someone who values the red server for its pvp, I can understand the frustration in the post--still prolly too much though.

my question is .. how can you punish the anon forum accounts + the people that dont play here that continue to shit up the forums like tomatoe

[Derubael]

Same way we have always dealt with it. Ban the accounts, or in the case of some of the more aggressive trolls, edit their posts so they shit rainbows and hugs with every sentence.

We're not so concerned with the people who don't play here anymore - this message is intended for the people who still do.

How do we increase the server population without people who don't play here

When new players (like me) show up, you don't run them off. :p New players do come, the question is how to keep them!

[BigHurb]

quality players dont leave. we tried to kill freddy off the server, he just laughed and now everyone is friends. people who cant hang, dont. simple evolution

[Rec]

simple evolution sounds like a good way to keep sub 100 population which was not supposed to be the point of this thread

[HippoNipple]

Don't worry, tomato tried to play on the server a few days ago and I griefed him off again.

[Tecmos Deception]

yes banned in game for forums posts

Well. Time to follow through on my promise to donate for bans.

[SamwiseRed]

or let me sit in your group while you rustle HS.

Still not much motivated to work on XP until we see what the changes are though Sam. I tried to get some XP yesterday while sifting through a couple months backlog on a listserv, but I didn't have enough downtime in north so I had to log out to actually get anything done IRL :)

[Tecmos Deception]

Should have seen the look on my face when I came back to this thread several hours after posting

Will donate for bans.

and saw your posts deleted, multiple jib forum accounts banned, and talk of ingame suspensions handed out too.


Staff aren't fucking around, apparently. Bout time all this hatfield v mccoy "history", playing on red being treated like trying to survive a prison sentence, forum/ooc bullshit started getting stomped down.

Ooh! Just saw lite's MOTD screenshot that he apparently isn't fucking around either. It's time for my first 2 "pras"es. Pras staff! Pras lite!
