One question I propose to you blue players

[fan D]

I am speaking to the high end players particularly

Simple question,

Why do you gear your toons and raid for upgrades?

Most of the guilds here cleared all of velious on the beta server, so all of the content was done with no velious armor. If you already can do all of the content in the game, why do you continue to raid? What is the point of still raiding to upgrade your items on the blue server?

is it fun? What is the fun part of 16hour variance windows, spending all of that time for a mob you had no problem killing with your items from the latest expansion?

What makes you want to poopsock, track, or watch a spawn for some NTOV dragons when you were capable of killing this mob over a year ago with worse gear?

[maerilith]

I refilled red because it's dinner and I can grief people in unrest when I only have 1 he playtime.

[Stormfists]

Blue people like playing an MMO.
Red people like playing a single player RPG.

[digging for that pic of red server pop of 8 last month].

[fan D]

Stormfist, I have over 200 days /played on blue before I came to red. I am very experienced with both servers. I have set the all-time project1999 record for raid targets killed in a week, and raid targets killed in a month. I use to get every single raid boss in kunark on blue and red weekly, for months.

As a blue player, how often are you in lake rathe, west karana, runnyeye, warslick woods, halas ?

It does not matter if they are empty on red. No one needs those zones very much, it doesn't affect anything. I play 18hours a day on red and today there was 26players in Mistmoore when I leveled my alt. As I run through Velious and Kunark there are groups in every dungeon. The OOC being global also helps the MMO-feel of the game because everyone is connected and speaks with one another.

[digging for that pic of red server pop of 8 last month].

Also, please do not turn this into a personal argument. I am just asking a genuine question. I'm not sure why you want to make things up and lie about the red server. Let the adults speak here please, Stormfists

[arsenalpow]

So you played with TMO when they had the high end content on lock, then when things got competitive you jumped to red where it was still a one horse race.

[fan D]

when I was in TMO we sucked ass, i thought everyone could see through the propaganda

the first week I was in the guild we had a phenomenal week of raiding, and ever since that it was downhill. We had like 3-4 months of wiping to every single Trakanon and losing it to IB, at BEST we'd get 2/3 mobs in VP, most of the stuff outside of VP we'd lose because we had no good FTE'rs willing to do it.

we had Nalken getting us PD most weeks in VP, and it turns out he was just busted for auto fire in Forsaken, so, yeah TMO was a real shitshow/disaster, especially from the inside. You should of seen how embarrassing our forums were, and our joke of an app process.

POINT BEING, yeah I spend an absurd amount of time tracking in TMO to get a mana robe and a red dragonscale, so I deserve to be in the pixel showers of the zerg. But that doesn't matter, I don't find the raiding fun mostly, but it's important. Maybe I am still bitter from all of my time wasted, but I mean i'm just saying, i guess its a game and whatever fun is all that matters

Im just saying there are stats and items on red that matter and have value, and on blue they have no use. Resists don't matter on blue, and atleast on red there is something to do with your items. On red we actually use our items for something, they help in PvP. No one on red or blue needs any new raid loot to kill any of the targets. We'll maybe tunare, dunno haven't done that one

[fan D]

what i meant was we'd get 2 or 3 mobs in VP, not two thirds of the mobs.

[Spyder73]

@ OP –Because this is a classic server. Raiding for gear that you don’t need so that you can strut in the EC tunnel and have a superiority complex is as classic as EQ gets. You need to get angry anytime you think someone is inspecting you without permission also. Classic EQ is about exclusion, not inclusion.

i've stated some facts, you are taking this personal for some reason. I'm just wondering what do you want new items for if they are not going to change anything for you or your guild

[RDawg816]

I enjoy hanging out with friends. If that means duoing, PLing an alt, camping for gear/plat, or killing a boss so be it. I don't sit anywhere waiting on a mob. If he's up, great. I'd he's not, I have better things to do.

I don't raid for loot. I don't need to stroke my epeen. I also have no desire to play on a PvP server. Dueling my friend is fun. Everything else about PvP is not for me.

[Doors]

18 hours a day is a basic requirement of any competitive EQ raiding guild on p99.

[burkemi5]

It's about the "competition" for blue guilds. For who can have "bragging rights" over one another. At this point it's hardly even about the gear. Detoxx even said as much when he came on Sirkens stream-- he wanted to play "to beat Rampage." Same reason why Rampage woke the sleeper, so their team can say they "won." I'll never really understand why, why people run 18 hour coth ducking chains or deprive themselves of sleep to use an auto fire program to fte in order to "win."

Congrats, you're a zombie at work, your wife and kids hate you, all your friends stopped calling you awhile ago because you never answer., you're going on your fifth straight meal out of the microwave, etc. But at least you "won."

I took some damage from AoE and then he riposted me after I ran in.

I am going to have to actually start playing again or I am going to find myself in a Willfight type situation where I am 59 constantly.

18 hours a day is a basic requirement of any competitive EQ raiding guild on p99.

How do these people pay bills? Seriously, what jobs do they have and how can I get one??

[jcr4990]

Serious answer: I tried Red and gave up for 2 reasons that are kind of linked. First reason is low population. You can go on and on all day about how populated Crushbone and Mistmoore are. I really don't care. There's a very real "Ghost Town" feeling when you play on Red. At least for me and most other people that I've talked to. The server just feels dead all the time.

Second reason (And this is largely because of reason 1) is because the endgame is entirely dominated by a single guild. Once you reach endgame your options are literally join Empire or get cucked. It's no fun for anybody unless you enjoy the ezmode free pixel train that is Empire raiding. If I'm gonna play on a PvP server I'd prefer there to be actual competition tho.

So there. That's my serious answer.

[xaxis]

I'm not anywhere near endgame but, so far, I think it comes down to community vs. flexibility. On red you have the global ooc and a smaller, and thus closer, community. On blue it's a lot easier to do what you want, when you want.

Honestly, I'm having a hard time committing to one over other. On blue, if I'm not feeling a zone or can't find a group, I move. Don't really have that option on red (last 3 days when I've gone into Crushbone there have been literally, maybe 2 other people in the zone, one of which is a higher camping the Emp).

On red, though, even if i'm in an empty or near empty zone (which contrary to how jcr makes it sound, DOES happen in blue too), I still have the global ooc to keep me invested/entertained. Plus dat XP bonus.

But there's a big difference between a server where Kerra Isle and Tox forest are empty vs a server where ONLY Crushbone Mistmoore Unrest ever have more than 3-4 ppl in them. We've all "tried Red" we all know what I'm talking about.

This pretty much. It's a great concept, to fight over end-game content and really feel like everything matters. Until you get completely obliterated by one ridiculously overpopulated guild (and have no meaningful PvP) or join up with them and crush the tiny spattering of opponents with sheer warm body count (also no meaningful PvP). You look back and realize the entire premise of the server was completely missed since your every success is dictated to you by they zerg, one way or another. Either they tell you when to raid, or they tell your opponents when they can't. There's no surprises, no excitement. Just and endless pixel grind with an occasional annoyance...which honestly sounds exactly like end-game on Blue. So pick your poison I guess?

And for the record I like the idea of Red better. Just the execution is a letdown and there's a serious case of missed potential there. Looking forward to Teams99!

its weird how i play red 18horus a day and i never feel like its a ghost town, all the zones always have people in them...

Or just like.. Theoretically capable of doing it if Empire allows them someday?

[ArumTP]

1 Raid Guild owning all of the targets was a terrible time on blue. Why would I desire that on red? The added benefit of that they can actually kill me, ensuring a long CR, and such a low population making leveling difficult.

[Xaanka]

Does "Capable of ToV" mean they're capable of raiding ToV while Empire beats the living shit out of them with a fully geared zerg? Or just like.. Theoretically capable of doing it if Empire allows them someday?

currently on red, the majority of raid targets are left up for days until whenever empire feels like killing them. plenty of opportunities for up and comers to get some kills and prove themselves.

[Platexchange]

The sad reality we face on red is that empire looks and feels like Mount Everest. No one wants to try and climb that and hell you might even die trying. The truth is it's a pvp server and much like TMO learned when they formed, politics rule r99. Empire has shown it wants competition, but you still have to bend the knee just like on live until you are truly ready to handle the beef.

On vallon zek zephyros did this for almost a year before they started contesting defiant. The sad thing about r99 is with a low population the daunting task of starting from scratch to topple a raid guild is just not worth it.

R99 needs a blue to red no drop transfer if it wants to see competition, until then it's going to be a one trick pony like it has most of its existence

You need more than 150-200 ppl on at a time to make a Velious server feel like its not a ghost town and you need more than 1 viable endgame raiding guild on a PvP server to make a PvP server make any sense.

[jcr4990]

If they allowed you to /charcopy Blue chars to Red I would likely play there full time instantly. I realize that would mess up Red's economy (lol) but I think it would be 100% worth it just to increase the population to reasonable levels. I think you'd see Red's pop shoot up to like ~400 avg a night if people could copy their chars over and not have to deal with CB/MM twinks and start off with decent gear/pp.

i find this post funny

you realise r99 is the server that has content extending past PVE velious right?

what goal is there to farm on blue? velious content was beaten in kunark gear on beta

sure, one could show of their gear at the EC tunnel, but what does that prove? Having spent a lot of time on content that was done in inferior gear, and this should be envied?

Being a super-hero solo star in BiS gear, that is never going to be challenged nor is going to buy progress through the stuff they farm so well?

if there are any people with relatively limited playtime (pref euro) that want to try red, send me a PM and i'll get you started

if the 20 hours you invest in getting a lvl 50+ char isn't worth it, you can always go back to the lodizal FTE competion on blue, where you might get 1 chance to engage in the timeframe it takes you to get into any r99 guild you wish and pursue the playstyle you like, be that pvp or pvp

I always called Warhammer "Call of Duty: World of Warcraft". The PvE was so bad there was genuinely no point to it. I just sat in queues and waited for the next match. Occasionally I went out to do a keep battle but those were one of those things that "could have been cool, but usually wasn't".

Still, the PvP was really good. Game was balanced for it, after all. Not like eq. That having been said I could see myself doing pvp eq, just not on r99. This whole thread just doesn't get it, really. But I guess it's not directed at me; I'm not one of the top end raiders and won't ever be.

As soon as some up and coming guild tries to prove themselves, Empire goes and smashes them till they stop or quit

i was p much the first red server player to join tmo when they came to red, and i was p much consistently the highest attendance raider in the guild from start to finish, so i can give you an informed opinion on why you're wrong.

there's a lot of history between tmo's leadership and empire which i'm not gonna bother going into, but empire actually helped them out a lot in the beginning & several of their players came over to help tmo. some of the first red server players to even take that tag. when velious release became imminent a select few people in tmo talked way too big on the forums and empire promptly put the foot down for maybe 2 days on velious release. they were a brutal 2 days and a lot of people quit, but that's it. after that they pretty much left us alone, left raid targets up, let us coexist in tov, etc. if we ran into them, yeah they'd pvp us, but it often ended with rez's and even sometimes help with our raids (especially in zones where empire players may want to faction)

it was the other guilds on the server that griefed tmo off the box w/ training, casting on npc's with oor characters, oor training, deleveling characters, spying on teamspeak, relaying teamspeak into another server, things like that. and also the whole guild was basically being ran by 1 guy since velious i dunno how he even did it (praise dd)

You paid a Cuck Tax for pixelsHahahaha the Cuck Tax. Forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me of that reason Red is garbage.

ya except that didn't happen. we just agreed to show up to tov at different times if both guilds were raiding the zone, because 150 people in 2 guilds trying to cross the same 3 zones at the same time on a pvp server is always a shit show when both guilds priorities were "get people here on time and raid"

[Xaanka]

apologies if i'm wrong cuz i don't play blue but didn't tmo cuck your whole server at one point?

I blame computers. quick and efficient automated communication stunts grammar skill and puts an emphasis on quantity and efficiency over quality and clarity.

it's not like we have only one chance and one chance only to communicate our ideas or express ourselves.

but that's fine because I can just spam you some till u get rly mad

[maerilith]

Bump I still want to know what you think about modern information technology and it's affect on humanity Csihar.

Also, I would like to add that I think the reason red99 is so successful and popular is because of the internet.

You made a boo-boo there. "it's affect" should be "its effect". 'Affect' is a verb.

:o

Computers (and cellphone texting) may have had an effect but I don't think it's the cause. The older generations make those mistakes again. The 'your/you're', 'there/their/they're', 'lose/loose' type of mistakes are more common for native speakers I've noticed. I think it's simply a case of native speakers learning the spoken language first and learning the written language much later. "There car" and "their car" sound identical.
A lot of people who do not have English as a native language, myself included, learn both at around the same time. And we're taught to beware of those awful, awful mistakes.
It's also laziness and not valueing proper spelling. I don't know why I value it but I do. When I learn that I've been misspelling a word I make a mental note and change it. Other people are more inclined to say "I HAVE A RIGHT TO SPELL WORDS HOWEVER I WANT. 'murica".

This conversation feels very off-forum :)

don't be so salty about losing

[Lionsfan616]

It's about the "competition" for blue guilds. For who can have "bragging rights" over one another. At this point it's hardly even about the gear. Detoxx even said as much when he came on Sirkens stream-- he wanted to play "to beat Rampage." Same reason why Rampage woke the sleeper, so their team can say they "won." I'll never really understand why, why people run 18 hour coth ducking chains or deprive themselves of sleep to use an auto fire program to fte in order to "win."

Congrats, you're a zombie at work, your wife and kids hate you, all your friends stopped calling you awhile ago because you never answer., you're going on your fifth straight meal out of the microwave, etc. But at least you "won."

Ouch, maybe ill dust off the old motorcycle this weekend and get outside....

Stormfist, I have over 200 days /played on blue before I came to red. I am very experienced with both servers. I have set the all-time project1999 record for raid targets killed in a week, and raid targets killed in a month. I use to get every single raid boss in kunark on blue and red weekly, for months.

As a blue player, how often are you in lake rathe, west karana, runnyeye, warslick woods, halas ?

It does not matter if they are empty on red. No one needs those zones very much, it doesn't affect anything. I play 18hours a day on red and today there was 26players in Mistmoore when I leveled my alt. As I run through Velious and Kunark there are groups in every dungeon. The OOC being global also helps the MMO-feel of the game because everyone is connected and speaks with one another.


You're so desperate for more players. :''(

good post

I think we should all just go back to hieroglyphs IMO and have a more "interpretive" language with a few solid rules for spelling trademarks.

[Sadre Spinegnawer]

you're welcome.

Always happy to help people leveling on red with starter JC items... +7 MR bracers, the necklace, +55 HP rings etc. Just bring the mats to North Freeport and I'll do the combines when I get the chance.

It's the angry posts that get to me... where you guys are trying to ridicule those on blue for not going to red. It's kinda like you're trying too hard. I'd rather play EZ Server... or else pvp on EQ2 with my capped SK and Ranger.

Would you expect a fair 1v1 in H1Z1?

[Aesop]

Removing yellow text, and somehow disabling plugged would go a long way to improving the server. Nothing more frustrating to the new guys to find out that the second someone thinks they are gonna eat a YT they plug.

Yellow Text: not Classic

[Swish]

Agree on the plugging, would certainly spice it up a lot if they coded it so you zoned through LD for 30 seconds or something.

[jcr4990]

However this would do a lot to encourage more twinks/shitheads to come out of the woodwork and farm noobs all day to boost their leaderboard e-peen. Cause plugging is the #1 defense a noob has against a fungifag in CB/Unrest/MM. Without it twinks will wreak absolute havoc.

Nobody has. That's what's sad about his obsession. He doesn't even play the game. He's also promoting the server he just got "banned" on for no reason.

After that SK and Rogue in your sig hit 60, well probably before that, you'll learn the forum meta-game is more fun than the actual game. It used to be at least. We lost pretty much all the quality posters. But there's hope still. More content now to inspire rage rants we can all laugh at. That Tstaff thread was a suprise Kunark throwback and 5 star hilarious.

breaking the chardok cartel would lead to some seriously good rants threads, i'd wager

Are you a Bad Enough Dude?

Mostly just talked about it. Not many able to gather enough people to waste their time to waste other peoples' time. More of a hassle than anything. And it will still continue tomorrow so it will be all for naught.
