Rolfron Zek GuildWars Relaunch

[Psykes]

eqpvp.com new rules, new server launch...incoming...tell everyone

[magician]

god damn you're a fag, no one wants to play the 78th reincarnation of this server.

[DRAGONBAIT]

so as someone new to all this eqemulator thing, whats the problem with this upcoming server exactly? why not worth trying it or the community moving over? red99 is not exactly a pvp heaven tbh.

[Mac Drettj]

LETS PLAY CORRUPT AS FUCK AND AUTISTIC DEVNOOB AND IMAGE'S CORRUPT AND AUTISTIC SERVER AGAIN AND AGAIN YALL.

ill play

[joel.popick]

Why are you posting this when the beta is still active?

When is the server coming up?

[Pillage]

Was there a wipe? The two people that log in are going to be angry.

[Gnomegrown]

I wipe every morning

twice sometimes

[krazyGlue]

god damn you're a fag, no one wants to play the 78th reincarnation of this server.

i have to agree with this

[phat farm]

what is the pop?

[HippoNipple]

It is in beta right now so there is no population normally, just like project 1999 beta.

Who knows what the population will be. All it needs is a population of 40-50 to be pretty fun though. 40-50 means 20-30 actual players since you can box.

All you need are 10 characters, 5 real people, to down almost all content. If you have a guild that has at least 4-6 people that log in regularly it is a fun server.

[Vile]

whats the premise of the new box? their site is awful

[HippoNipple]

Guild Wars.

Only thing that makes it different from regular FFA is that guilds can own cities by killing certain amount of targets. I also think that you can't hurt people in your guild so AoE is a possible strategy.

Benefits include slightly cheaper items in that town (good for JC, alchemy, etc.) and I think even allowing guilds who own certain towns the ability to use a translocator in that city to port somewhere.

I honestly don't know how it works exactly but something along those lines.

who would waste their time developing this seriously there is no crowd to cater for besides dream team

[HippoNipple]

Devnoob and Image. What's your problem?

[magician]

the credibility of those two retards is down the drain u ever been on their past shitboxes? christ almighty.

[Darksinga]

I'll play the 78th version.

I get my PVE done here on Red99 and my PVP on Devnoob boxes.

[Gaffin 7.0]

the original guildwars was fun back in like 04 so this is cool but hard to get immersed ppl from playin p99 to this

[Mac Drettj]

i win that box every time

[Vile]

they get way too in depth.

fun pvp box needs to be simple imo

[Mac Drettj]

they obviously enjoy what they do so if coding non classic/intricate things is fun for them more power to them

if people dont like it they give 0 shits

cant hate on them

i play every box to some degree, all bout the journy

[HippoNipple]

Maybe credibility as far as making sound decisions but are you trying to say they are corrupt? They put in a lot of time to try to make a good box and police it the best they can. I don't know if you are referring to blatant favoritism or what but I haven't see any talk of that.

[Kergan]

Developers should never directly interact with "customers". They need a Nilbog (PM) and some CSRs to build something that will last.

[Sk00ba5t3v3]

This box is obviously the answer to people who aren't satisfied with P99's direction. If nobody plays there then Im sure they wont waste their time. Somehow I dont think that will be the case but im not all that optimistic. P99 seems to be the "mainstream" box atm.

[Sear]

This is truth.

I know I was fucking terrible at it + just wanted to do part-time db/dev work while running the occasional gm event.

Handling the playerbase is a full-time job and not an easy one.

null gave me the keys to the Pinto

best time of my life jack daniels and emulated everquest

sounds like dreams became reality

[FaithlessKR]

if you want a box with consistent pvp, play devnoob/image boxes. If you're too blue for that and would rather spend months leveling toons for the same recycled content, play here.

[Rust1d?]

I'm in as long as they do not make drastic changes a month into the server. The last box was a complete mess. If they can get all of the changes solid, 100% before they release it will work.

[Kergan]

I like that they are doing some neat zone control type of custom stuff specific to PVP. But in the end, programming in cool features is not what makes people stick around for the long haul. You need the support staff to make it work, and ultimately you need initial population to get enough momentum going to carry the box past the "shiny new toy" phase. You aren't just going to build it and have 200 people logging in.

This is sort of what happens in my experience, when programmers run a project. You get lost in the minutia of custom scripts, new features etc and lose track of what is going to make any service or product popular.

let's be honest, there was at best like one or two small scale fights daily on rolfron zek in kunark and it was never a close fight against those guys

sure the server has the pro of being great for the casual player with things like 2boxing and raid content that can be done with literally 2-4 characters, but there is zero way there's more pvp on a server that had peak population of like 40 with 2boxing enabled versus a server that has 160-200 peak population with mostly single boxing

probably not going to be playing whatever this next server is; i don't believe 6th time's a charm and would rather not spend any time leveling/gearing characters on a server that will more than likely be completely dead within a couple of months

[HippoNipple]

That journey though......

Not like you are doing PvE on red99 anyways. Can always sit in holocaust TS on a guild wars channel and people can come get you when there is pvp on red99. You could even have yourself at char select screen ready to go.

red69/LoZ was good times, used to be over 100pop everyday.

rofl zek was kinda lame.

i'll check this one out hoping for the best.

To be fair you didn't really start playing til Kunark/box was dead.

Server took too long to get past the lvl 30 cap and most people quit, including myself for other reasons.

LOZ did get a max pop of mid 150s which is about 75 people 2 boxing. Nothing to brag about, but could be some potentially good times.

Red99 is a solid server but sometimes it's just incredibly dull and a quick based/vztz type server really does the trick for some fun easy pvp. See you fellas on either server.

Not sure why people were pissed about the caps. Tbox his brother and I held the hole down and had full loam @ lv 20. Was actually pretty challenging to go to Lguk @ level 20 and try to take down the assassin...we came close a few times. Guess the poopsockers were mad that they had to contend with casuals on an even playing field.

What really killed the server were all of the stupid changes made after the fact. No CR for PvP, changing how charm worked etc. The other was not tweaking teams once everyone and their mother rolled neut and good, leaving nobody but us on the evil team.

Long story short, these guys are too quick to pull the trigger when the minority complains, in fear of losing players or simply favoring some over others. They should just make the server, assign a few people as guides and stay out of the drama.

[Mac Drettj]

i quit at 30 cap, came back after kunark

[Korrupt]

still remember getting rogean's pw to gm account on old guildwars box and summoning myself full BIS gear for pally

image/devn00b cool dudes tho

[Sear]

who's the chick in ur avatar pal (unless trap in which case I never asked)

[SamwiseRed]

that server was more like magequest

[Eslade]

Made 2 different characters. Both zones unavailable.

[Korrupt]

game chick on youtube its not a trap lol its a female

[Darksinga]

Server doesn't come out till next Friday.

10 people 6 boxing sounds fun.

Granted I neckbearded roflron pretty hardcore, I was able to find multiple fights a day that were even numbers or even slightly challenging due to being outnumbered. On red99 my last 5-6 months I got pvp maybe twice a week that I considered even remotely fun.

Red99 has been a shithole for almost 2 years now, and there is nothing it can do to draw me back.

[Bazia]

red99 gr8 enjoy image box tho if u like terds

I guess the FQ is better for R99 though since you're here?

[Sk00ba5t3v3]

ROFLZek seems like a counter strike server at best. People will log on for a few minutes to pvp then log off. Allowing people to lvl 0-50 in a few hrs is a bad idea and wont form any kind of community. Believe it or not, R99 has a community and the FQ experience is 2nd to none here.

[Mac Drettj]

dev box great for casual

boxing/damage bumped/exp rate

other than that, r99 poppin right now

if r99 had boxing would be x10

[FaithlessKR]

I guess the FQ is better for R99 though since you're here?

Nah even the FQ bored the fuck out of me and caused me to take this off of favorites. I only came here to help promote new guildwars.

[Darksinga]

Nothing wrong with playing both servers is my mentality. Each fun in its own way.

Image/Devnoob box may have some dumb things on the server but same goes for here. Countless number of updates made to make gameplay more classic like often meaning putting in things that make for a crappy experience.

Also seeing some GM presence daily/weekly on LOZ is a nice aspect. Here GMs don't want to deal with it 90% of time which is understandable

With that being said I plan to play both servers. Red99 is doing great on a strict #s standpoint, when the newer herd of players including myself catch up on gear/lvls I have no doubt that some good pvp will finally commence
