That does sound fun

[HippoNipple]

Anyone plan on trying it out that would like to group up? I have never played one of these servers from the start. There are a few established crews that play on these boxes already that will be starting together tonight.

The reason I'm posting this here is because eqpvp.com has little to no activity except from the couple guilds that are already set on there. I will go ahead and post there but thought at least a handful of players here might try it out tonight.

You only need 3-4 people to get a lot done on this server. 6-7 people would be for full raids as long as you had the right classes.

If you want to join up let me know. I'm not set on classes and can be flexible depending on what others plan on being.

Nah

[Gnomegrown]

sounds pretty lame

[HippoNipple]

sounds pretty lame

You think this server is lame too though, so who cares.

I'm not wanting to get a flood of people to come over. Just wanting to find out if anyone else already planned on playing that is going over there solo.

I plan on playing both servers.

[Eslade]

It sounds cool, but I don't have a lot of time set aside for eq. Have fun and we'll see you back in a week or two.

[Dacuk]

always had fun on those boxes when they have pop. may give it a whirl.

[Agatha]

red will no longer have GM's on it anymore due to manipulation of staff.

ya but that only happens when theres no alternative (ie red pre kunark)

i love devnoob and image but damn after 20 boxes it should be as primo as red dunno

they need to release luclin/pop pvp over there

somethin REAL FRESH

[Lime]

Bunch of us gonna be playing...These boxes are a lot of fun
You can get 60 in like ~24 hours of played time depending on your skill level/class
Raid with 5-6 of your bropals 2boxing, don't have to mass recruit bads to do things
Don't have to use batphones or invest tons of time to kill people.

I wish Red would come out with a seasonal ladder where old toons become unplayable for 4 months and the server is basically wiped, and after x months merge original characters with season characters. It's so much fun to play on a fresh box.

OP, am merging duplicate pvp rnf thread into the off topic thread of similar title. In general, posta about other servers/games belong in off-topic, unless given approval to post somewhere else by a member of the staff.

Do you mean Guides, or GMs....? Also, we now have dedicated forum mods, so a lot of the forum moderation is no longer on the CSR staffs ample but overwhelmed shoulders.

We are still aware Red99 needs additional CSR support in a variety of categories. We are in the process of reviewing and interviewing new Guides, at least one of which will be a dedicated Red Guide. We also plan to move one of our current Guides into a more permanent position on Red to ensure everyone gets to enjoy the Everquest PvP experience to its fullest.

Red won't get a dedicated 'GM' because it isnt needed, and because we limit the number of active GMs to two so we don't have a horde of people running around with GM access - at that access level you can essentially do... everything, and the potential for abuse is high - by limiting that number to two, it is much easier to not only make new rules, solve high end disputes, and take care of other high-level support issues, but to also keep a watchful eye to ensure the substantial amount of power thw GM position grants is not being abused.

red will no longer have GM's on it anymore due to manipulation of staff.

wat?

[Mac Drettj]

must mean guide or csr

semantics

/who all GM is classic

*shades*

[Tradesonred]

EQ is old, once you had that run to 60 for nostalgia (and also key is no other MMO worth playing) for me it started to lose its luster.

I mean, we fucking harpooned a boat and killed the people on it afterwards by jumping on it with our gliders. Archeage has its flaws but im probably not going to EQ ever, beside the occasional drive-by login.

Maybe if a red server had 800-1000 instead of 200 and not filled with 50% dirtbags

Yep, we're bringing more on in the near future. We know it's needed it's just really, really difficult to pick good CSR staff for Red, and then even more difficult (not to mention extremely time consuming) to train them so that the community doesn't run them off the first time they make a bad call.

As much as I want to like Archeage I doubt it will have a playerbase in 2-3 months.

Wish I would have played in the first two hours of launch so I could have grabbed land and started my farmville empire. Wait, no I don't.

Yeah crafting lol what kind of blue morons enjoy that, EQ had none of that

Trolling aside, i dont own property and most of my time consists in fighting west faction over control of spawn locations. Sounds familiar?

I can take a break from the game and come back to it with points to level up, similar to eve online.

Its bare bones a bit but its the first month. Flying over a bunch of reds and carpet bombing them from my glider up high isnt old yet, thats for sure.

I mean EQ is allright, if things had been done right on red (not letting the worst aspect of the box thrive by letting them grief off the normals for a year+ with xp loss, this also leading to Nihilum establishing dominance, the several short-sighted xp nerfs) i could see myself playing more. With a fragile pop like red, nerfing xp for a month or so was i think the pinnacle of my WTF moments on 99. I think Rogean, Deru, Sirken mean well, but you need to be a pvper, you need to have put time in the box to get a feel for what it needs. Xp loss and xp nerf were so far from what the server needed. At the very least you need to pay attention to feedback instead of laughing it off like "this isnt call of duty" when people did a play-by-play deconstruction of what was gonna happen (people not contesting zergs). For the box to recuperate from that awful first 2 years, you would need like a big guild from blue or outside suddenly deciding to all roll on red, crush toxic trash guilds and i doubt thats going to happen. Its like a bonsai tree now, all twisted, you just cant salvage that, you have to plant a new tree (server) but i doubt there will be enough water (players) to make that tree grow anymore.

With the residents there who are sure to drive off 97% people who try the server... i feel im wasting my time because EQ is a marathon payoff. Ill still log my alt once in a while to protect noobs in rags from those people, but not often. Little effort is made to clean the forums beside when youre posting gay porn or Banning people like me warning new people of the toxic pop and behavior. I mean i regularly see posts like kill yourself junkie whore, Rexx's wife is going to poison him to get insurance money, like wtf... and i eat a month long ban warning people that this is whats waiting for you at end game.

A window of opportunity was opened in late 2011 and it didnt work out. Not gonna do that grind again on a 150 people box with people boxing 3 accounts. Personally im all nostalgia'd out.

With that being said, i like the custom ideas of that server, just not willing to invest time on dead boxes anymore.

As much as I want to like Archeage I doubt it will have a playerbase in 2-3 months.

Castle locations didnt even open up yet. I didnt play beta so im not sure how much content thats gonna hold but i can imagine its gonna be at least a solid month of 24/7 pvp around that island. I picked Kyrios, the most heavily populated server, so we'll see.

[Gaffin 7.0]

we got a crew rollin deep tonight for this

first box was fun hopefully this one will be if xp isnt uber slow

[Kringe]

Ya we do too should be good server opens in like 45mins.

[abacab-101]

Can't do it bros.

Tried to get a deepwater harpoon... No dice didn't work
Tried to camp a bullsmasher, spent hours there only 3 fragments from 2 spawns.

I'm not going to play a solo paladin utilizing rusty sword quest, because hitting a fucking mage for 6 damage when they are rocking 150 HP is just well lol

[Kringe]

All zones are hotzones until Monday id login and get your levels on .

[Tradesonred]

Was it that server that had 37 people on, on launch day yesterday?

Just checking

[Psykes]

server thriving

[Rust1d?]

Kringe and crew already 60 raiding velious mobs and killing each other for pvp points. Server thriving.

[radditsu]

OH yay more useless servers.

[Rust1d?]

Kringe claims wife at a weekend baby shower. Able to squeeze in 24 hours of EQ.

[mitic]

They should join the p99 staff and start a real pvp server

[Rust1d?]

Never happen.
