If you are one of the people on this list, or have an AoN and I failed to list you, Please either PM me or make a reply here stating your views on AoN.

I have gotten a response from Nilbog that he will read our concerns. I think if we can properly present our case and show we're willing to put bullshit aside in order to achieve a common goal. It can set precedent for the staff being willing to listen to our concerns. Not just dismiss us based on our awful forumquesting.

What PVP w/o Name plates looks like.

Very good point worth noting.
It is so dumb not to add nameplates to AON. It was just one of those fixes that fell after the semi arbitrary point the staff has chosen to freeze the server at.

Skeleton models getting nameplates was added 35 days after the timeline stops (1/8/2002 patch, Luclin release was 12/4/2001).

Both parties have trolled one another regardless of what they actually desired. I think the reason for that is because we have wrongly accepted that nothing will ever change anyways, so we might as well fuck with one another. This thread is with the intention of putting our bullshit aside and discontinuing that trend.

I understand where you are coming from, but I don't think it is worth taking hostage this movement for something we all believe in.

Being able to present a clean case to the staff would be the first step in many other propositions to come, and it would make everyone realize how detrimental their trolling is.

PNP/Spawns/Recharging are things party leaders could bring up for discussion after this, and we'd have a format of properly presenting it to the staff.

I have no problem with signing up for something that is presented intelligently. Recharging...spawns..pnp.. classic... not classic, whatever.

As it has been said many times, I wasn't there to experience item recharging on a PVP server, ect. If you can bring forward a good proposal, not only will you have my yes vote, but I will make sure to aggressively present the good idea to my people.

I want this to set the stage and show the staff that red is capable of not being retarded and doing what's in its best interest despite party lines.

Understandable point, however I think you're not considering how it's still extremely valuable regardless.

It will still be in the illusion line, aka stack with all other clickies helping you achieve that magical 4 clicky that most go for.

It will still be a super exclussive and rare item that takes raid forces worth of contesting to acquire. 2-3 years of Kunark and less than 30 ...

It still turns you into a skeleton. It's not the same level of stealth, but it will still help you be a lot less noticeable. JUST NOT BROKEN mode unnoticeable.

I don't think it loses it's prestige. It just stops being broken.

Don't care about target rings or name plates.

I created my erudite paladin because i always wanted to be black in real life,
but to have the best pvp advantage I gotta turn my tall,
slender and beautiful erudite into a lame skeleton, and fight with all the other skeletons.

The unique races and how they look is a major part of this games charm.
No more fat trolls, silly elves, sexy erudites running around just skeletons,
if i knew that's what pvp would be like I wouldnt have joined the game.

I posted this in another thread but I personally don't see how this change would be a bad thing, while it is unclassic, so is the fact that we can't recharge items through vendors, certain clickies ( trak tooth and Golem wand to name a couple) were nerfed to enhance or balance pvp more. I don't see how adding nameplates to skelly form is any different. As a holder of an AoN, I vote yes, I am for adding nameplates

dude, thats part of the magic of EQ... undead army.. just RP.

for every one of the people who feel the same way as you do.. i feel exactly the opposite.

the charm of a skeleton army is greater than anything else.

this game is about getting wierd loot and end game changing into a magical crazy fest..

to nerf it for any reason is stupid.

and for the people that are crying that its somehow unfair that X people hand thier aons around to X people on one side of the army, just fucking quit crying and get your own AON and play

AoN having no nameplates is both very classic and a very needed boon for casters in an environment that is already dominated by melees

As you know, Colgate I play enchanter A LOT. I'd go as far as to say that I was Azrael's most active enchanter on Darkside. I share Ksah's sentiment that this isn't something we absolutely need. Also Necros get Yonder and 2 DA's.

I think you should speak to a few other casters and potentially reconsider your position.

This is not a good way to go about this, and why i hated playing with lite leading

that is not my objective, it is to properly structure the opinion to the GM's from the point of view of those that have the most to lose.

the issue you have with skeleton illusion is almost entirely because the server has been farmed for way longer than it should have

Also.. not sure there is a person on the box that will sensibly agree that AoNs shouldn't be name plated. Though they are class how they are.. the abundance of them are completely non classic.

Mornin made a good point in regards to this.

From an enchanters pov:

The combination of skel + shrink and good positioning is all you have for survivabilty. You don't have shadow step you don't have DAs. Once someone is training you down, there is little you can do except pull them away and sit them down w a rapture and get lost in the mass again. Your defense is not being seen.

That being said an army of skeletons is one of the most unimerssive things about mass pvp on this server

I will add to this. Because of the fact that an Enchanter doesn't achieve it's effectiveness through damage and we have a limited mana pool, how effective we are doesn't derive from being in the battle field at all times, but instead we can selectively enter and still be ridiculously effective.

It's a naturally evasive playstyle.

With that being said, necros still have skel illusion x 2 DA's and Yonder, drains and taps.

The excuse of not turning on nameplates 'because the server is classic' is bullshit and everyone one of you claiming that knows it.

Just because we have the same zones doesn't make this server anything like classic.

Just to name a few things:
- The number of AoNs is not classic.
- The hit chance of melee is not classic.
- Spell resists are not classic.
- Spell mechanics are not classic
- The population is not classic.
- The knowledge of the game is not classic.
- The cast time on gate / potions is not classic.
- The sheer wealth and gear level of people is not classic.

It is simply impossible to emulate an entirely classic experience for such an old game that psychopaths like you people spend so much time playing. Especially on a server that has been stuck in Kunark for so many years now.

Given this, the staff has rightfully made non-classic adjustments to the server to make the experience playing here better in the hopes of at least emulating the fun aspects of classic EQ.

I see no reason why AoN would be any different. edit: especially just to add nameplates - something that EQ eventually did.

Lookin back over Lite's post about the AON-RMT no one argued he was wrong in the first 5 pages... One guy said $500 is too much for an AON... I'm not gonna re-read past 5 pages, every post on here gets derailed by page 5 anyway.

The fact that AON nameplates aren't classic is a ridiculous argument, because the amount of people running around AON'd isn't classic. So in this case a custom rule would actually bring about a more Classic environment.

As a Necro I vote Yes

It's also pretty shameless using this debate to try and get Locket's of Escape un-nerfed because what you guys plan to do with them is anything but classic.

These guys are just creating RMT claims out of thin air to support their argument because when in doubt throw the server under the bus.

Anyone who played on a zek server would understand the reason why AoN should remain the way it is.

It is the best item in the game for a reason.

Skeleton Illusion is one of the only defenses casters have vs overpowered melee.

Other guilds on the zek servers found ways to deal with everyone being a skelly in 100 vs 100 pvp battles.

I've just been lurking these forums since I have joined this server, all I see Lite do is bitch about everything like a little kid who sucks at monopoly so he just makes up new rules or cries.

We've already made custom changes to provide a more classic environment when people used known mechanics not widely used on classic to make this server unclassic.

This certainly never happened on Tallon Zek.

I do recall Pandemonium occasionally trading around their AoN's to turn everyone into a skelly. This was not a regular occurrence and most of the members didn't own one to re-apply mid fight. This may even have been after nameplates I dont remember.

If casters are having trouble surviving its because the melee hit mechanics on red are not classic.

You seem like a logical fellow with a normal temperament and concise mind. So it's odd that I need to point out the fact that most people asking for the reform are owners of AON's that only benefit from them being unchanged.

I myself play a necro so having AON's ingame only helps me in PvP it's just what isn't best for the server, I can assure no one is rustled besides yourself perhaps.

You seem like a logical fellow with a normal temperament and concise mind. So it's odd that I need to point out the fact that most people asking for the reform are owners of AON's that only benefit from them being unchanged.

I myself play a necro so having AON's ingame only helps me in PvP it's just what isn't best for the server, I can assure no one is rustled besides yourself perhaps.

its not whats best for the server, you're just hyperventilating right now.. its ok it happens... I know this because I have a temperament and concise mind.

Should at least add nameplate of a targeted player. Then you can still keep the stealth factor or whatever, but you can better see who you are trying to attack amidst 100 other skeletons.

If i never saw it on classic how can it be classic?

Saying something was classic shouldn't be used as a means to exploit an old mechanic that was never used that way on live. Custom rules should be made to keep the game closer to the way it was on live not used to make it further from live pvp.

If there is a game mechanic that is damaging pvp like trak's teeth, instant gate pots, and now aon's then it should be altered to restore the server to the state it was back on live.

Stop derailing the thread then, can't troll a thread and then blame someone for trolling you back.

AON's making everyone a skelly is very unclassic.

AON's cause a huge problem with RMT.

Adding nameplates and making them no drop will fix a lot of these problems and the fact that most people that have use of Skelly illusion are voting for the change says a lot.

I hope we can all stay on topic and keep this about the subject.

I support nameplates. It makes pvp more fun. Would be okay with shortening the buff duration as well for the same reason.

AoN's were banned from live BOTBs because it was boring watching a bunch of skeletons chase each other around.

Also, the Grimtoad AoN is the best AoN.

RZ won test of tactics 1 (serverwide) 99.99999% due to being the only group of people who all used AONs. nobody on opposing teams knew how to deal with it.

its classic, and a tactic that was used. shit is retarded, and nameplates should of been added from the start. but don't go around posting some bluebies raiding as evidence that aon use wasnt classic.

the next year, test of tactics 2, they didn't allow clickies (because of how retarded aons were, for the most part)

edit: can also get prof from fiegi about this info, since he was on tot1 winning team.

test of tactics 2, rallos zek was nowhere to be seen in the serverwide test of tactics (with clickies not permitted) ... however, iirc it was a different squad of 6 that rallos sent, the old squad that won tot1 werent around, but that is a discussion for another day

If warriors went on to get Harm touch in the near future because it was clearly a fix that needed to be implemented, then it'd be something worth considering.

AoN Nameplate is an issue that went on to be addressed..

I was simply pointing out that your harm touching warriors analogy was not a very good one, since AoN name plates did go on to becoming a thing.

With that being said, part of the problem is that the Kunark era has been around long enough to farm a Luclin server's amount of AoN's.

My pal Mornin explains it well..

The point is that when it became a prevalent issue on live it was addressed and changed, due to the unclassic extended timelines here it has become a problem in Kunark instead of later on.

Because it is making the server unclassic it should be changed.

If people would have chosen to, 200 Skllies running around in classic could have been a thing. Not sure that that's a very good argument for AoN's. Part of the problem rises from our greater knowledge of the game, and additional time to generate problems that didnt have an opportunity to come about back in the days.

If anything, it's a good argument for other broken aspects of our servers that cause guilds to reach that size.

With servers correctly re spawning randomly about once a week in a classic format, barricading yourself in AoN form while you wait weekly spawns probably wasn't something that happened that frequently.
People were out racing for spawns instead more often than not.

your missing the point, the goal is make the server as much like classic as possible, while it's 15 years later and the expansions have been extended beyond their timelines that is not possible, some custom changes can help that tho.

The fact is nameplates were added beyond classic timeline to address a problem, on live it took till POP to reach that point, here we've reached that point now. Also that's kind of silly to tell people to dispel an instant click especially when everyone has enough clicks to pretty much be undispellable.

Anyone who FQs regularly knows my history with Mr. Syft here. But honestly, he is completely on point here. This got patched 35 days into Luclin. Based on the fact that there were separate teams handling EQ Live and xpac development, it is very likely this nameplate change was on the docket in the classic era. It was without a doubt an oversight but a low priority item to get fixed. If they had pushed it through two patches sooner it would have fallen in the "classic" era.

I'm all for a classic server, up to the point it makes the game worse. Saying you intentionally want to make the game shittier to preserve some notion of classic despite the fact we have a plethora of non classic mechanics is getting old.

4 years of Kunark isn't classic and adjustments need to be made for that 7 months of kunark is classic. By saying keep it classic in ignorance of that fact is not trying to place the game to classic EQ but rather unbalance it for the custom environment we find ourselves in.

The goal is to make the game FEEL like classic everquest, not lawyerdoctor the rules to find exploits. And no nameplates is an exploit it causes mass confusion in pvp that was not intended for an atheistic item, that was made to be an unlimited illusion potion for classes that had no access to it.

No reason to try to give reason why it should be changed or shouldnt be. Everyone tosses "classic" and "broken" around which ever suits them best at the moment.

Lite and azrael honestly were the main guild to use the AON army strat but now that it does not suit him.....

Lite needs to just come out and say " Empire using AON army hurts guilds chances"

I personally like to see aons have name plates only because it will make following people easier, how ever if I was the soul decider on this issue I would have no names because GG gets more flustered by no Name aons than Empire does

To be honest I don't think that way...

I bugreported Wizard unlimited range AoE's when I mained a wizard

I bugreported Highsun when I mained a bard

I bugreported Malosini landing on high MR targets when I was playing a Shaman.

Personally I would love nothing more than no nameplates when I play a necro, and being surrounded by 200 other skelly's would allow me to blend in and cause mass devastation. Especially in ntov on a class with 2 DA's feign death, knowledge of the zone, and max dragon faction. I'm used to fighting 200 man guilds and wiping them in velious it's something I did daily. I know exactly where i can go in that zone with faction and where I have to DA and feign to get by.

But it gives PvP an artificial feel, isn't whats best for the server, and isn't whats best for skill based pvp.

I don't own an AoN: and probably never will, but the point of having one is to add a whole new level of potential capacity to one's PvP game, and is a reward generally to those that participate in PvP vrs those that just show up for raid loot.

Why would a server want to take away one of the most sort-after and prestigious PvP items in the game and make it a watered down version (I.e name plates).

Both Empire and Good Guys have enough AON's to turn an entire raid force into skelly's, it's really not benefiting either side to have no nameplates. All it does is turn pvp into a confusing mess.

It's sad that we let our personal feelings and old grudges get in the way of making changes that are really just good for everyone and promote skill based pvp.

Confusing mess will still be a thing with Name plate aons. Instead of chasing a no name skel you will be chasing a named skell that is barely blinking among other names that arent blinking

Same argument people are making for names can be said for target rings.

Target rings would make mass pvp less confusing.

Y'all need to stop acting so damn entitled to some "classic" nostalgia. If its for the health and growth of the server, why not concede something like this?

On both sides too, why not compromise in some fashion?

If not name plates, why not target rings? If not target rings, why not make the AoN no trade so whole guilds + extras cant all be skeletons without name plates?

Find some middle ground, or just leave it up to the devs. There is a reason to make this change, for the health of the server and to entice more people - as well as make "end game" pvp more enticing as well.

Don't try to act magnanimous about that. I asked you guys to put a hold or waiting period on <Fresh> members joining you and you wouldn't even consider it. All you wanted was a feeder guild. In the long run the server is better off without a huge leveling guild feeding a zerg.

It doesn't. It just wasn't good for server health and you know it. All BS aside you know a competing guild is necessary for server health in a PvP environment. And <Empire> was substantially more appealing to the general type of player <Fresh> leveled. It also would have been perfect for all the <TMO> crossovers.

Some may have. But let me ask you - aren't your guys having a whole lot more fun now? I know I am. The strategizing on both sides has been awesome. There are already lower-tier guilds forming to pick up the slack so I'm not worried about the newbs...they'll handle themselves. The bigger fish to fry on that front is the OOC limitation, imo.

As far as <Fresh> goes I think the kill order decimated the guild and put most at odds with <Empire>. I was on a break for all that but that's what I'm getting. <Fresh> couldn't legitimately compete by itself and never could have.

RIght now server seems to be driven by who can get what mobs before there are none left. Empire will go after the Crown jewel of mobs. GG will go after scrap mobs. Then when a few mobs left a stand off happens but instead of head on pvp its juking pvp for a mob or just camp.
