We dont want classic eq PVP, leave us alone with it already

[harnold]

Dear staff,

While it is great that you've provided a second pvp server for all the eqemu pvp players, i think you need to realize that it has been years now and if us blue players wanted to play on the red server we would be doing that.

Most of us do not want classic eq pvp. We play on the blue server for that reason. No amount of big changes or emergency repair efforts will change that.

Sirken, contrary to what you may think, boxing a character on blue and red at the same time does NOT sound appealing or fun in any way.

There are 100-200 players total who would even consider playing on the p99 red server. Those players already have done so years ago and decided whether they want to continue playing it.

I think you guys are hoping for something that just isnt going to happen. 200-300 blue players are not going to switch to red because of the constant emergency relief efforts. The people there suck, classic eq pvp isnt really most peoples cup of tea, and we already enjoy the blue server (after all, it IS the reason 95% of the players on eqemu came to eqemu in the first place).

There is one big exception. If P99 blue transfers were possible, I think there would actually be some incentive to play there from the blue server. Unfortunately it looks like this is never going to happen though.

My suggestion: Just give the Red players what they want and keep them happy. They are the people who play there and the only people who will play there.

[Dillian]

how about you keep your opinions to your self. Are you the blue server ambassador? No?
Red is a great server. I just joined about 5 days ago and im having a blast. Much better then fighting over who is gonna kill said dragon for the 70th time. The reason you post this is because there are quite a few that are gonna be coming to red for there own reasons. Don't cry because your no good at pvp or being social. There is one thing i have learned here on red, when you make friends they are your friends. On blue its just some guy you group with once in a while.

[harnold]

If you couldnt make a single blue friend since october, then you very well should be damned to the empty pvp server.

[Barkingturtle]

Most pathetic thing I have ever read.

[myriverse]

Second pvp server? Huh? There's still only one.

[Rellapse40]

Did you even read what he wrote?

only 5 days on red and already as toxic as the rest of the crowd.

[Rellapse40]

You have such a way with words relapse

the truth hurts

[Derubael]

Your opinion is noted. Now sit back and enjoy the Red promotions we'll be running on Blue all week.

[Shamalam]

Dear staff,

Words.


You don't want to play red, that's fine. Stick with blue, nobody really cares. Red99 existing doesn't affect you at all. Nobody is forcing you to play there. The fact that you give a non-zero number of fucks that they are simply promoting the server suggests to me that you, sir, are doing it wrong.

I think you are worried that these promos by staff will take players from blue to red, and you don't want that. Sorry, but it looks like RED is where its at.

Rofl @ carebear anger. Why not give red a try instead of slandering it on forums

I'm down for a few less people on Blue!

Can we just have a blue server promotion where all the mobs don't spawn on saturday. It's been like this for a month and a half >< Yer killin my 30/60 here. Also, you get a chance to look at that petition reply?

As much as I dislike red99, things like relapse's sig is born out of the greatness that is red99 drama. It's 24/7 goldteeth redshoes over there.

[Magrim]

I don't join red because it has 1/10th the people. If it had more people i would probably roll a red toon. Plus I'm still learning a lot about EQ and the world and I don't want to get killed anymore than i do now.

Ill never support red. EQ pvp isnt balanced in any sense of the word. When the staff can't give a fresh blue server but are fueling X resources towards this failure of a project called red99 to cater to 50-100 people that either got banned from blue or their only purpose playing p99 is to push their 4chan like behavior on other people in the only way they can.

I would dare say it is offensive for staff to try and siphon blue players to this server through the use of GM events(items) and luring new players leveling on blue with increased XP/group bonus'.

All this shit you're doing on red should be done on blue or both servers, not just red.

Anyone you entice to play on red will end up back on blue or disenfranchised with the whole project, I don't see a positive in any scenario.

[Rhuma7]

They wouldn't tolerate a non-p99 affiliated server advertising on their forums/website for the reason of stealing players and in reality, red and blue are complete competitive opposites for the people who actually play.

If the server can't flourish under its own merits you let it fucking die. You can keep putting bandaids on this festering sore of a server all you want but its still going to be an infection that hopefully gets amputated, sooner rather than later.

Cliches are cliche, but they became that way due to their validity, so here goes..."You mad, bro?"

Your butthurtness only shows your fear that players from blue will leave to red, and my god, they might enjoy themselves. People like you call the people on Red "toxic," but what do you call your behavior? Just because you can't hack it on Red, doesn't mean that other current blue players, couldn't. So go and stay on blue, but please keep your drivel to yourself. There are plenty of blue players that I am sure would love to play on a server that is getting more and more populated, and that offers more than just maxing out a toon.

The fact that you're in this thread and this topic is even being discussed goes against anything you could say about the "players that would love to play on a server."

People have had more than enough time to make the switch and all the marketing and bullshit gimmicks the staff wants to throw at red isn't going to change a fucking thing because the server concept is shit and the people on it are shit.

The only thing I am mad about, bro... is that their even wasting their time.

[Derubael]

Just absolute pure fiction and white noise.

One of the most viewed threads is mine on EQMAC IS NOW FREE TO Play!.

They never took it down and allowed it to get thousands upon thousands of views.


Among countless others. We usually keep them in off-topic, but we've never been against people advertising for other servers. See the countless threads on emulated DAoC, WoW, SWG, even other EQ servers in off-topic for reference.

If you don't like the promotions we are doing for Red that's ok - just ignore them. Or rant about them in RnF. Either way keep the negativity where it belongs (here, for example).

[DeruIsLove]

I would like to encourage the P99 staff to use more decorum when addressing the community.

Staff bashing.

This translates into "I got my shit pushed in the first week i tried R99 and am still butthurt."

Let people give it a shot and stop bashing it.

[Stabulous]

While I agree that EQ pvp is a joke and always will be, I don't mind the devs trying to support the players already on red by keeping it fresh with changes and new players. It's refreshing to see how much these guys care about us and the game without ever seeing a paycheck for their efforts. Let's be real though, EQ isn't a pvp game and there is absolutely zero skill in any and all things pvp as far as EQ is concerned. There are 48586837 other games out there if you like pvp and most of them will actually gauge your worth as a player, rather than just showing everyone how much free time you have.

I'd join red for an Azrael t-shirt.

[SamwiseRed]

blue is for non-competitive everquest

red is for competitive everquest

project 1999 supports both play styles. everyone should be happy because there is a place for everyone.

[Cecily]

XXXL btw

[Origin]

Allow transfers blue to red.

[SamwiseRed]

terrible idea, naw

[DeruIsLove]

competitive EverQuest

LOL

[Rellapse40]

Hey samwise u got a anime loving pedo laughing at u

u gun take that?

[Pint]

Allow acct trading on red99 so I don't have to lvl another toon up then I'll come try your server. Also teams99!

[Psionide]

What's the deal with the pvp teams server? Is it still happening and just a long ways away after Velious or was it scrapped? I stopped leveling my char on Red when I heard about that.

[Visual]

Let it happen naturally. I am opposed to staff involvement in most cases and this is one. Just like on live, a good portion of blue players will migrate with time.

Making new servers with new rule sets and timelines is just a waste of time & resources. Tackle the fundamental problems red players are complaining about and work from there.

[LostCause]

Yeah, we HAVE people to take our camps here.

take your camp???? LOL we just kill you and take dat camp you mad?



WONDER WHY THIS SERVER IS EMPTY YOU SCARED ALL GOOD :D

[tekniq]

contrary to what OP might think, I know it's difficult being swooned to come over to red when the likes of Lite & company are the 'spokesman' of red, but there really are some reasonable and cool players on there.

[xexbis0]

Allow transfers blue to red.

TMO would throw the world's largest bitchfit were this ever ok.

[Tiggles]

TMO would throw the world's largest bitchfit were this ever ok.

Why? Our "competition" would xfer in a heartbeat to get away from us, Allowing us to farm Velious in peace.

win/win imo

[xexbis0]

People transferring back in ST/ToV/VP gear to blue wouldn't get TMO's panties in a wad? You've openly admitted the majority of your fun on this game is cockblocking the rest of the community.

[SamwiseRed]

LOL

what u laughing at maggot?

Once you filter out the sound of a 10-12 crying infants...

This. Let people who want to PvP and watch their backs and always play with full resists / buffs up and always have pumice bagged copy over and play on red.

Let those who want to PvE player on blue.

It gets more people interested in red since they don't have to restart if they are established on blue. And it increases the amount of actual PvP that would happen.

Sounds like a great idea to me.

[DeruIsLove]

Took you all day to come up with that one eh?

Let me break it down a bit for you. Curling is more competitive than anything in EverQuest has ever been.
Red99 is 4chan with swords.

Blue 99 forums pretty much are 4chan anymore. Red may have worse trolling in ooc in game, but the blue forums are pretty much worse.

People need to learn the game before jumping in at level 60. With exp bonus you can level up quick but will still learn how to PvP before you hit end game.

[DeruIsLove]

If that's some kind of joke, I don't get it.

HBB was the second biggest redditfag on the boards right behind Stealin.

[Duckwalk]

For people that are interested can we get a breakdown of pvp strategies, classes strengths and weaknesses and so on?

Fur srsly

[Nirgon]

Add item loot so it can be a classic FFA PvP server.
