On the new Discord server...do you plan to...

[lite]

Roll solo and occasionally team up with friends, or roll deep at all times?

[Seltius]

Would probably only play if my friends did. So would plan on rolling with them.

[Gardur]

Very torn ATM. Roll hard with the crew realizing it will impact CS progression or play discord on off time. Guess it depends what the bros want to do.

[iruinedyourday]

Roll solo and occasionally team up with friends, or roll deep at all times?

The question is, do we roll deep and kill all the bluebie99ers? <red99>

[lite]

why would we need to roll deep to kill blues. Didn't even occur to me that blues would play here... this just got cooler.

[iruinedyourday]

lal true, but man I kinda want us all to team up and just totally teach those blues that we run this MOTHER FUCKER

[Champion_Standing]

The question is, do we roll deep and kill all the bluebie99ers? <red99>

Bluebies will NOT be on discord longer than a few hours after launch

[iruinedyourday]

another truth, theyre over in Server Chat talking about Hybrid XP penalties sadly :(

server will be dead within 3 days

I think you are overestimating your average Empire warmbody. Only server sharks gonna be playing here. Second they realize they can't run back to 50 other warm bodies for protection, they will log right off.

[Champion_Standing]

server will be dead within 3 days

I give it 5-8 days

[iruinedyourday]

This server hasnt even started and you're already mad at half of it.

[Masq]

Lets be honest. Nearly everyone is going to play like a vagina and plug or gank 3v1.

Should be fun for a few days though.

[iruinedyourday]

I think its gonna be a blast.. I wish it had 1000% xp bonus and 1000% damage to mobs bonus, so it was like a flash bang, Call of Duty version of EQ :P

[fiegi 8.0]

agree this server wont last very long sadly, average person wouldn't play a 1 item loot server, You think they would do a perma death?

[lite]

watching zerglings in fear of getting curb stomped on a real pvp server where being good matters.

lol

loving this

[Susvain2]

he could ball wit the crew or solo

[ducktv]

voted crew because i'm a coward and if i'm gonna die i want to be surrounded by all of my <friends>

[HippoNipple]

Having a mage pet and sitting at char creation log in point should be fun in Ak Anon.

[Kergan]

First night will have a couple hundred. Under 100 by weeks end. Probably 20-30 when the wipe comes.

[Stalos_]

Going solo.

[miraclegrow2]

what new server?

[JayN]

Solo w/speedhax ftw cya bitches in thurgidain; the ultimate hiding lvling spots !

[pgerman]

server will be dead within 3 days

I agree with colgate, but

Those 3 days will be glorious

[Ragnaros]

Solo, Nobody will know who I am.
< Friends > < Empire > < TMO > < Casual Scum >
Watch your back.

[vouss]

This server is everything I have ever wanted in everquest. Of course I'm going to experience it with my <Friends>

[Ragnaros]

cant wait to train everyone and backstab my closest friends for an ultimate rustle and teamspeak meltdown

[Demented]

Reasons for this server:
A: get rid of some of the toxic/ training/ love to ruin your day players..
B: show people what a server w/o staff involvement is really like (maybe then they would apriciate P99 red)
C: let any of the players on the less fortunate side feel like they're winning again
What do you think?

[SamwiseRed]

Naw it provides a pvp environment that actually has risk/rewards. Red is good for testing raid content, discord is more for pvp.

To answer the question though, definitely gonna try to make friends.

[Frudrura]

This is going to be the worst thing that has ever been existed on the fucking planet.

[HippoNipple]

I think this server could evolve into something fun. I hope discord isn't longer than a month then they give other things a trial run like item loot without permadeath.

I think GMs will also have a fun time on this server, just watching all the crying with 0 liability.

[Kergan]

Risk = your character is deleted
Reward = someone else gets their character deleted

I agree though they made it discord so nobody is going to bother raiding, and hopefully by extension making big zerg guilds. Pretty sure they just want to try out some new rulesets for the eventual T99 server and they know (because this is EverQuest) nobody will PVP unless its literally the only thing to do.

[Shrubwise]

server will be dead within 3 days

And it will be the finest three days in P99 history ever. Wheeeeee

[Gustoo]

Every real red player will be playing discord. The only people still playing r99 once this baby drops are doing it to pay the bills

[Gustoo]

And it will be the finest three days in P99 history ever. Wheeeeee

Exactly

[Gustoo]

Discord is a classic era pvp battle challenge. Rolling solo is guaranteed perma death. It's pure challenge and pure fun. You lose hard easily

[JayN]

lame hackfest server nothanks!

[grannock]

I would play a game like this if it was designed for a discord mindset. Eq isnt.

[Gustoo]

This is a fully classic eq server released I dunno around the pop era but classic only.

We need ranger track fixed before launch

[vouss]

discord the ultimate EQ experience for sure

[iiNGloriouS]

I agree with colgate, but

Those 3 days will be glorious



LOOKING FOR A CREW

Me you and twerk of course. Late night crew bros.

[Darkone]

Question for gms: If you get caught hacking on the permadeath server will your ban be for all servers?

I just have a feeling there will be a lot of warping right on top of people and killing them with macroquest, i remember playing on live for 3 years not even knowing you could hack in eq then playing 3 days on the permadeath server and figuring out everyone was cheating, it was a good idea but to not have gm enforce no hack policy killed it on live, everyone warped around...

[Efwan]

Can't wait to rage while I am making yet another character on this server lmao hope exp rate is huge.

[hammbone]

really hope they do egg shaped pumice this time...

[Gustoo]

Won't have egg pumice, macro quest will be ban on all servers and exp rate will be slow and classic so we don't have level 50s day one.

[Agatha]

don't think u guys realize this is just a new beta server for red, they will try out a ruleset, wipe, try a new one, until they find one they like.

pretty sure in the staffs mind red99 is a failed server with the paymelinda early days with the banning of holo, and the cash flow of nihi to GM's, all the stuff inbetween to the recent derupal scandal. (edit: no offense to staff if this isn't your view point, it is mine. but im pretttty sure it is yours too lol)

pretty sure once they find a ruleset they like they are going to make that box permanent and run red99 and whatever this box will be eventually called side by side.

double edit: atleast thats how i'd launch a 2nd pvp server with the least negative impact on the current one for the time being.

triple edit: pretty sure TMO wants a solid crack at a fresh PVP server aswell. wont go into details how this happens but the people who know, know.

[Drakaris]

[Kergan]

Holy shit did Drakar of all people just accuse someone of being a conspiracy theorist?

I actually thought Agatha's thoughts on testing PVP rulesets was spot on.

[Tameth]

Lets be honest. Nearly everyone is going to play like a vagina and plug or gank 3v1.

Should be fun for a few days though.

so basically what <Friends> do now and <Azrael> always had done.

[Drakaris]

Permadeath server isn't really a way to test anything but the permedeath mechanic. Since people will start quitting once the level gap becomes unbeatable. I'd say if we followed logic rogean wanted to celebrate 6 years of p99 by repurposing the old beta server to be a temporary pvp battleground based on nostalgia from the original discord server.

[Agatha]

rogean, if you have not noticed lately, along with nilbog, have been taking this shit ALOT more seriously lately, goals have changed, this have gotten more real.

You could see it in the launch of velious, These people rogean/nilbog(others who contribute) launched velious in such a manner that most LEGIT game makers don't even come close to these days, i'd say 90% complete.

If i was daybreak and other smaller game studio's right now i'd be looking toward rogean and his staff as legit competition, and VC money coming at them if they had a solid product. what alot of people don't realize these days is its not hard to make the game, the hard part is launching, managing and keeping it up and running.(not to mention having a dedicated base of people that love your games already that you at a drop of a dime can start marketing to)

rogeans velious launch looked real good, and im betting he will one up himself on his one. and somewhere down the line rogean is going to pitch a legit game to us that has that everquest feel but is named something else.

http://i.imgur.com/9RQgJjU.jpg

P.S. Rogean if you arn't looking at it like this, you need to get in touch with someone who has a business mind and is already in the industry.

edit : don't believe me? just look what Furor/FoH did for world of warcraft.

[LostCause]

server will be dead within 3 days

lol funny thing is red pop slowly been going down its rare to see over 300 now.

[Drakaris]

1 guild servers have that affect.

Do you guys sit in ts and vent and aim and Irc together while taking to each other on the forums?

P.s. Nobody cares!

cya <Friends>

big shoutout to agatha and ragnaros

[Drakaris]

They aren't going anywhere dumbass.

i have it on good authority that the guild is dying and talks of a certain crew splitting off are happening

They want to test PVP mechanics. Permadeath more or less ensures people will focus on PVP instead of raiding. And without raids, it's unlikely they'll be a big zerg so the pvp can hopefully stay competitive.

That being said, I'll be surprised if there are more than 50 people on during peak hours 2 weeks in.

[iruinedyourday]

im gona try to level up a character, then im going to get ganked.. then like everyone else ill start training everyone everywhere constantly.

Without plat for pumice, DoTs are gonna fuckin hurt anyone without the cancel magic line. I think Necro may be the most powerful class overall. Without hp items. Necros can simplely lifetap people to death.

[surron]

Won't have egg pumice, macro quest will be ban on all servers and exp rate will be slow and classic so we don't have level 50s day one.

does the ban really matter when you can make unlimited accounts?

it wont be classic exp

but GFay is going to be fun as hell and the way red eq is supposed to be.

fuck i might play

[lowner411]

So this doesn't become a one guild server, I would think that they should eliminate guilds on the server or hard cap guild sizes.

To eliminate spawn point griefing (though nothing on this server could be considered griefing, I guess), randomize new player appearance locations.

Also, I like the elimination of the /who.

But--should this server have YT? Should this server have global /ooc? I'd say no to the former and yes to the latter.

[SamwiseRed]

guild is just a tag, people are gonna team regardless. I know I am. You have to on these types of servers or you will not survive. There shouldn't be any cap or any rules except for hacks and exploits. If you don't like to be griefed, I suggest not rolling on this server as that is almost the entire point of why people are going to play.

why not have YT? I cant think of any reason not to. Hell they should upgrade the YT to show a ss of the person who died in the sky:

http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121228061650/thehungergames/images/a/a8/District_9_female.jpg

[Gustoo]

The original discord server had chat channels so this should too.

It also didn't allow pvp until player hit level 10.

I don't remember if it had yt, but I don't think if did. It won't make a difference tho. Face in sky would be great.

Definitely have to have /who
A lot of winning is just.being careful. If anyone is ever alone that is their only defense.

And it will become a one guild server unless two or more guilds get organized. The server becomes one guild heavy and then it ends.

Hacking was punished on live just not as quickly as it should have been. Hack police should be online 247 to investigate hackusations.

Ranger track needs to be fixed before this is launched

[hammbone]

probably want to do a +/- 10 level limit.. really going to erk me when I see a bard PBAOE's newbies

[Gustoo]

It's discord full permadeath no PvP level range limit. Its a race to the top and you are constantly gambling with your life. The live server had updated items like black alloy but despite this the max level achieved waa 47. Its easy to die.

[Gustoo]

Confirmed samwise is a great guy its not his fault he is from sullon

[SamwiseRed]

Nobody likes your and you are top 5 worst player on the box.

who are you tho?

[SamwiseRed]

You don't even play on this box dude. Why do you visit this website?

oh im on the box :P

All higher solo people from original discord server were hunted down. Same shit will happen here. Roll with a crew, preferably a crew of people who hack, and you will be good.

I kinda wish like final boss is, and i know you're gonna hate this but, everyone against gong & colgate.. they're so geared and goog at pvp theyd be this epic 2 lizard 2 person matching robes raid boss

summon everyone to WC.. put them in the center, and see how long they can last killing everyone.

I knew youd hate it man but they have over 8k hp between the two of em unbuffed and some pretty fucking good toys to take on the entire server. Not to mention both are monks so thier DPS would be crippling in this type of match.

[iruinedyourday]

If it makes you feel better, on the next live journal discord forum you can be the final raid boss.

Lol dude there's a reason neither of those guys ever go 1v4 or anything, much less pvp away from a zoneline without 40 friends. It's sad too because as much as most people hate to admit it those two do have some good pvp skill, they are just usually too scared to show it due to possible YT.

haha nah thats just the propaganda, when they pvp they wreck shop trust me. Dont get all caught up in the hype train, we all from different tags but we all range from good to bad at pvp.. they are both very goog. So are a lot of folks here. It's NBD
