Red Pop. sucks? What about mixing?

[JOCKJAMS]

If the devs made it possible to routinely bring blue toons over to play on red (and vice versa), wouldn't that even up the population, influence players to group, and expose blue players to pvp? I haven't touched EQ since highschool, and I'm just coming back to this; but I just watched an hour long youtube video where the devs sounded like they were completely out of ideas, and kinda pissed. Is that fix even possible? Is it even a fix?

You could still offer exp advantages to toons that stayed on one server for a certain amount of time, which would leave the max lvl toons unaffected. Blue's massive population would shift to red intermittently, but that's just more cannon fodder for pvp AMIRITE? OR OR OR make a purple server, where the populations could mix, without being able to transfer to either purist red or blue boxes. There's your teams server.

You can trade blue for red plat (and vice versa)

There is a who-the-fuck-knows-how-high xp bonus that just pushes people to the top

Why not just allow xfers/copies? :/

Blue server is full of harry potter map hackers and script kiddie wannabees

separate but equal

[Yumyums Inmahtumtums]

Or just level up the old fashioned way using the enormous xp bonus available.

Definitely not your fuckin bro

[JOCKJAMS]

It was more about raid kill fights and less about leveling up. If a camp/raid is taken on blue, they're going to come to red. If they come to red, they have to ultimately fight for raid boss. The exp bonus idea was mostly inconsequential.

[JOCKJAMS]

oh shit youre so hard bro. i bet the teenage girls at the bowling alley swoon. got a neck tat to go along with all that edge/beard?

[Tradesonred]

If you dont wanna play the game, why are you playing the game. I was all for tranfers when peak was at 60 but now with pop and bonus, if you wanna play how about playing the game.

[SamwiseRed]

transfers/copies a terrible idea whether pop is 10 or 1000.

[Kergan]

Yeah, transfer your whole guild here from blue to get pixels without waiting in line.

Then get massacred.

just trying to help the devs/community. the devs seem like theyre sick of everyone bitching about reds pop, reds pop seems like theyre sick of bitching about reds pop. if youre not helping to fix the problem, you might be part of the problem.

yeah kergen thats the idea..

[no chewie dont]

No1 care thx 4 shaer tho

[SamwiseRed]

red pop has been 200+ at peak for days. noone is bitching right now.

how long will it last this time?

[Kergan]

20% of blue is a good target, it's higher than it ever was in live, speaking relative to the amount of blue players.

We want you to play here. Just roll a character and level up. Won't take you long at all if you bring friends or make some along the way.

I joined today actually. I thought about how unimpressed i am with recent mmos and even zomgwildstar, so i looked up eq and found p99. im out of state right now but ill be back on eq in a few days. how is that even close to being troll? legit fix idea is troll? i see why everyone is qqing about population.. you guys are a trip though. hey if there are any level headed reds hit me up and maybe we can group or something. if everyone has aspergers then i guess ill solo lol

The server has this, group xp bonus was implemented after player suggestions, were getting there.

If true, then who joins a game and that day starts trying to suggest major changes, that no one wants. I know, invite Chewie over to your home and let him redecorate. :eek:

glad to hear, disregard

[Nirgon]

Individuals or small groups will come and join either Azrael or Nihilum.

I think an entire guild moving here would be great amusement.

Allow a one time copy to red. We're already committing infinitely not classic crimes here.

i dunno. i see the problem, and im spitballing towards a solution because i like to halp? if you dont like the idea, you can tell me no. its just an idea.

If an entire guild wanted to transfer (not copy) at least 40 max level characters at once I would support that 1000%.

If you think making copies of blue toons to red, is "helping," we don't want your help. The exp, the way it currently is, there is no need to transfer or copy toons. The exp rate is insane. Its so easy to level up a char in a couple weeks of steady play time.

[JOCKJAMS]

not copies, fluid server xfers. red server can transfer to "purple, team pvp server" blue can transfer to "purple, team pvp server". blue cant transfer to red, red cant transfer to blue. genuinely sorry youre having that hard of a time reading into it? shrug.

Do you have a two minute memory or are you just in denial? You wrote this.

Yeah dude seriously.

God forbid you all have something fun to do outside of farming Kunark mobs for the .... hundredth time.

Was the full original post too much for you? Need a tldr? Is Biaxil the name of the meds you're on?

[superapan]

Didn't live allow server transfers butt naked? I seem to recall this in the Luclin-ish era.

[radditsu]

Yall just need to move on to dark souls 2. That's PVP thats fun
