R99 Protest Day / Nilbog Celebration Day

[Modus]

Hey yawl!

I've been contemplating this idea for quite a while (2-3 drunken hours, plus marijuana etcetera), due to my love of classic EverQuest and EQ pvp, and I hope yaw'll join me on this exploration.

I'm proposing a Red99 Logout day, or days, that last 24-76 hours, where no one logs into the server out of protest of the current state.

Velious is conquered. Grats Radnarus (whatever that whiny kid's name is) for winning the server after every competent player has quit. 50-60 peak population during regular hours, with as many zones in the game.

Everyone. Everyone. Everyone complains of stagnation and lameness - and rightly so!

The protest shalt begin Monday, June 6th, the same day that Queen Christina converted to Catholic Christianity and 5,000 jews were massacred at Seville, Spain, and it shalt end on Wednesday the 8th of June (or, hopefully, continue forever).

Can we get a response from my Deity, and true EverQuest lord/savior, Nilbog, on Teams99 and the future of EverQuest PVP? Thou art thy humble servant.

PS: I have developed an ideal ruleset for a new server, Purple99, that combines the best elements of classic PVE EverQuest (community, honor, respect, dedication, loyalty...) with PVP EverQuest (ruthlessness, competition, intelligence, skill) that would weld this toxic sewer pipe into an epochal aqueduct. But I need motivation to publish. Those of you who know me, know I speak the truth.

Nilbog, you're my only hope...

[Efwan]

There was like 160 players on last night, hell I ran into a 1v5 in North Freeport just logging on to do a trade.

[Modus]

What kind of sick sycophants would actually defend the current state of the server?

Yikes.

[Ragnaros]

Yeah fuck that Radnarus guy lets go burn down his house

[Modus]

Common sense and decency prevails!

[Modus]

Seriuslie tho - can <Tempest> hop on board? I know a LOT of your guild agrees.

[Uuruk]

This guy wants the only 40 people that play on the server to log out?

[Ragnaros]

Plot twist, how about you guys....log in!

[Modus]

Exactly.

The lingering remnants of a failed experiment.

Seemingly an evolved bacterial species that feeds on the decay of PVP action.

We must develop a vaccine and rid the server of these gram-negative loot clingers once and for all.

[Videri]

While I think the server is currently making some kind of progress, I'm also intrigued by potential adventures in a new Norrath. I intend to support this experiment.

[Modus]

I'll go one step further:

Nilbog, if you support and create a Purple99 Server that even resembles what I'm proposing, I will:

Personally take you and yours (10 person max) on a guided tour of the Wild & Scenic Rogue River, a 4 day trip, zero cost except for your travel.

All food, necessities included.

$6000+ value (depending on party size).

Lobster. Fillet. Rafts and guides included.

Zero money transferred (you have to transport yourself and your party to Southern Oregon).

[Modus]

Rogean can come if he promises to be cool!!!!

JK Rogean's a boss and he/his are welcome.

[Ames1]

Rogean can come if he promises to be cool!!!!

JK Rogean's a boss and he/his are welcome.

Rogean drives a prius. You think he has any interest in going outside?

[Modus]

We love Prius drivers in Oregon. They taste like beef if you brine long enough.

[Modus]

And BTW, I've guided every river in the Pacific Northwest, California and Central America.

NOTHING compares to the Wild & Scenic.

[Heebo]

3 days of uncontested seb farming. Sign me up

I've been mulling over the idea of running a server for some time. If I had some other devs interested I could provide the community front, servers, admin and bankroll the operation. I could also hack up dsetup and provide some form of cheat protection. I'm not a EQ historian by any means and don't berg about providing the "classic" experience but rolling out the expansions by time lock depending on population seems to be what people want. Solid PVP, (non-stagnant) progression, no hacks/cheats/boxing, responsive and responsible GMs should be the goal. Would be great to have the P99 code base to work with, but I understand if they want to protect their "IP."

[Bazia]

Renly all u wud have to do is not have super poverty staff members banning guilds for $50.00 a pop or banning characters to sell their shit on red guides

thats all im really asking for in a server at this point

[RenlyB]

These would be easily solvable problems. All item creation / item stripping functions tightly restricted, monitored and/or tied to a ticketing system. I actually like the idea of having a public server log of admin functions performed so that the players can be sure.

[Modus]

I'd be happy to provide 24/7 GM support/overwatch to ensure a classic/fun experience.

Make it happen. I DO have time and I WOULD.

Kingjew we need your money.

EDIT: Seriously. Can we decentralize? I got time and money to invest in a server that doesn't suck.

King Jew where are you? You're our only hope!!!!

P sure youre banned for stick

[Modus]

PS: Recruiting all chinese hackers.

As long as yall aint asiam.

[Bazia]

so few people left around here that actually watched 50% of the server quit due to drowning amounts of lag the first 2 weeks and then of the remainders 60% quit when Holocaust was WTF banned

this could be a 500 person server easily without the retard GM meddling and absurd lag Red had it's first few years, cupcake was the downfall of the server tbh we deserve a redo

Let's do this shit.

Nilbog, WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU BROTHER???

God DAMN I wish you were still involved. Must love brotha mad respect.

[Bazia]

can rogean just do a kickstarter where we pay him to release the source code at a goal amount so he can get one final payoff and we can move on with other servers since he seems to be over this shit

[Modus]

The serious other option is to make me GM.

I'll ban everyone who cheats.

I'll watch every guild interaction.

I can't do shit without a server reset, it wouldn't be right.

I remember when EverQuest was about HONOR and INTEGRITY, what the fuck did we become? Pathetic.

[Bazia]

like im not joking at all this server would have been better off with just sirken answering a few petitions here and there that he thought were legit and no other staff ever involved

[Modus]

Sirken is tha fuckin man.

Yawl are e-faggots if you think Sirk doesn't have the Best Interest of P99 in mind. Trolls think ditto with Rogean and Nilbog.

Grown men who don't have time for yawls and you guys have nothing but shit to talk about people who dedicate their time to your enjoyment. Fucking respect.

[Modus]

Mad bad sad sawry yawl but truth.

Drunk n OUT.

Those who know respect.

[Modus]

Never dueled this firegiant but this is actually factually 200% correct.

In-game name? You rock.

[ducktv]

server is garbage. i'll still log in every day to make sure no one has fun.

[RenlyB]

P sure youre banned for stick

Lol. None of my toons have ever been banned.

[RenlyB]

It would make a lot of sense to release the code to benefit the dying emueq community at this point.

[Smedy]

Grats Radnarus

new meem

[heartbrand]

I looked into tossing money at devs to build a classic pvp server but they all seemed to be druggy burn outs.

[Bazia]

i got 5$ on it

[VZ_Xanit K'ven]

I looked into tossing money at devs to build a classic pvp server but they all seemed to be druggy burn outs.

I remember you donating 100$ once to smooth some Empire Drama waves

Not judging, just to nice to see someone in the red99 community with some spare Change

If you ever get something specific going with the devs make sure to make a new thread, I am sure I can find 200$ somewhere for a brand new classic sever (with YT)

[Smedy]

Let be honest here, would you play a server funded by Heartbrand? He would eat 1 dirtnap and start using his corporate ownership of the server to his own favor and waste everyones time

Only way teams is going to happen is if i make a video about it, just like red99 happened when i made a video about it

Read between the lines, fund me... i need 100 grand, thanks in advance

[Bazia]

4 years since holocaust banning and destruction of server

we have been our brothers keeper long enough

<Star Wars Time> is over

[heartbrand]

smedy seems really emotional not sure why. I wouldn't even play on a server I owned tbh would just enjoy seeing it thrive. any intervention by the server manager is the antithesis of thrive.

[Chaboo_Cleric]

This was done back with Nihilium when pop went to like 13.... It accomplished nothing. Violence broke out and Rogean smited those people

[HippoNipple]

Red99 sucks because it is stagnant and the devs give it no attention but at the same time Red99 has integrity that no other server will ever have. I'm sure a lot of people would play on another server if it opened up but I don't have faith it would last or keep its integrity.

Ideally Red99 would come out with a new server or wipe Red99.

[Bazia]

integrity? Entire Guilds were banned for money

people were banned so their gear could get stripped and sold for rmt

integrity?????

[HippoNipple]

I don't think Holocaust was banned for money. The GM that did that shit was taken off the job. Over the course of this server it has been pretty good considering it is an emulator. Even live games have slip ups like this but they have mods keeping everything hush hush on forums to hide it. I don't think GMs have ever just created items for players they like. The server has limited hacking.

I don't really expect a server to have less corruption than Red99 has had overall. Sometimes not having active GMs can be a good thing because they don't develop bias and they are not tempted to do stupid shit.

Wait..
Didn't you throw a preteen temper tantrum over a dragon kill point and sabotaged the website and TeamSpeak server for your guild that you were hosting?

Oh ok, thought so.

Weirdo.

[VZ_Xanit K'ven]

if you are unhappy with the server don't play

on a scale from 1-10 how unemployed are you right now?

1 (employed)

Once you have a lot less time, your expectations to that time rise dramatically.

Thats why I would gladly pay some $ to get a Pop of 200 with active pvp Scene.

Its like 1,5 days of work aka 12 hours.

Back when I was in-between Jobs, that would have been 1 sitting at bergurgle .

[heartbrand]

I'm unhappy and gainfully employed. I see a higher positive correlation between happy with server and unemployed.

Gyno, not sure with what authority you speak up about Server health

You snitching on Vaporize and the subsequent banning of the portfolio of his accounts is the SINGLE biggest disservice to the red99 community in 2015

everyone wanted more pvp and the moment 2 guilds are on equal footing and there is something like contesting going on,

you decide to take your salt META and sabotage all the momentum

poor judgement on the part of those responsible for that snitch / hit

[heartbrand]

How is one person losing accounts from cheating enough to bring a guild down? If you cheat you suffer the consequences.

[EatitNerd]

banning of the portfolio of Vapo's RMT accounts is the single biggest JUSTICE to the red99 community in 2015

Fixed.

Also Perseus watch who you're talking to like that, better yet, just stfu.

[georgie]

If there's one guy that pretends to know what's going on, it's him.

[Jazzy]

Btw that sig "dunk" is not the FQ dunk of the year.

Fucking terrible.

[Nirgon]

no one blames Vapo for that on his side

take the blinders off

Gyno is an idiot for spending real life money on an emulated video game, Vaporize is an idiot for trying to steal back thousands of real life dollars worth of shit he bought from Gyno

I am just SHOCKED Gyno did something in retaliation, really am

[Jazzy]

Why shocked? Is he timid irl?

[Shrubwise]

Plot twist, how about you guys....log in!

Hahaha'd

[heartbrand]

Important to remind everyone that Vaporize was arrested in real life for stealing electronics from GameStop where he was employed at, later joined R99 and immediately attempted to buy items and money from Dazed only to get ripped off, later pillaged Nihilum's bank and got caught RMT'ing it, then wheeled and dealed RMT with Gyno for multiple accounts, only to get banned.

Perspective is important.

[Nirgon]

Wheelin and dealin scum

[MEGANS LAW]

Just a FYI, gyno and rettI share forum account of megan law.

wait. red dawn was formed to make this server more fun, to me the priority was to fight the top dog guild clogging everything and making the server boring as shit, i setup the teamspeak and website free of charge ofcourse... one criteria was needed, we fight nihilum..

Heartbrand broke this one agreement and that triggered the event, if any preteen temper tantrum was held it was on Heartbrand part, he couldn't keep his shit together when Azrael decided to attack them after we fought nihilum and essentially got so butthurt over pvp he surrendered his guild to the same people he 2 months earlier swore to fight. Guy is an emotional nutcase and can't keep his shit together in elfquest 99.

I understand neither of you 2 would understand, you both were in nihilum and whatever zerg was created after, you even try getting into the current zerg, which makes you weirder then me, i moved on.

Good luck to you and your disability scam, weirdo 8)

[Nirgon]

the server/boards are boring until the old bloods start clashin' again

tldr of emotional investment/confirmation

thanks for the excuse of why you had a temper tantrum that i didnt read


good luck

check your played and get back to me with investment dog, hope this helps

hurrr

[heartbrand]

Love smedy's brain rot. Azrael was never committed to being part of Red Dawn or working with Red Dawn. They just wanted to use RD to further their own pixel greed as seen during the Sky Raids where Afflict got his piece only to never be seen again, Lite got his piece never to be seen again, etc. We never "allied" with Nihilum and continued to PVP them. We simply stopped allying with Azrael who were in it for themselves. Smedy also seems to forget that this was put up to a guild vote, and the over whelming majority of members voted to stop allying with Azrael. No clue what you're talking about with the TS by the way, I paid for TS and set it up myself.

[HippoNipple]

the one time good guys contested was great, its sad how afraid of pvp people are on the internet




No one cares about GG or every took them seriously. The few that did realized they were wrong within a week of them forming.

Not sure why you always go to RL checkraise

If Vapo tried to get the Pixels back, that I didnt knw, but it seems too bold to be true

but nobody cares about RMT, it only hurts guilds which dont do DKP, because then the loots are at the discretion of leadership/management

banning mq and Screen draging and all that shady shit is reasonable
but they should really make an amnesty for RMT

low Pop Servers dont bounce back forever, everyone getting old, 99 is a Long time ago
and each quarter that passes, less people will care about the intricacy of eq-pvp

[heartbrand]

Real life would be attacking Sektors over his wife which has nothing to do with EverQuest. Pointing out on the other hand that a guy is a crook IRL is relevant to EQ as someone who has no problem stealing from people IRL will likely have no issue doing so in EQ, which is exactly what happened here with him trying to screw people he bought items from.

maybe someone with a fat wife is more likely to suffer from low self-worth and therefore prone to do weasely shit online


cant really go argue which indicators are reliable and legit to bring up and which are not

If someone is a thief in RL and they are in charge of a guild I'm raiding with 40 hours a week I would want to know.

If someone is making fun of Sektor's wife because she is fat then you can argue but still no one cares.

Stop being so sensitive, people can call a thief a thief if they want.

[AzzarTheGod]

There was like 160 players on last night, hell I ran into a 1v5 in North Freeport just logging on to do a trade.

160 is pretty damn good tbh...server has averaged single digits at one point long ago.

[VZ_Xanit K'ven]

While u all log out, I'll be logged in crootin the depths of norrath

but you are recruiting for the "dominant" guild, and the episodes of guild monopoly makes EQ more elf dress up than competetive pvp

[silo32]

Played on this server back when pop was 6-17 of us.. for months and I mean months in 2011-2012

175 last night is thriving!

Even if 99 people played id still log in.

Even if only 5 people logged in and I was the 6th to make a full group and they wouldn't group with me I would still log in day after day after day

I do not support this faggatory

no server wipe no new server eat one may red live forever pras roegan for a million years

I looked for a server like this for 5 years before It even existed.

You wont take it away from me, years seeing vaporware, playing on shards of dalaya and I joined eq emu 99 2 weeks after launch

Faygate

[Jazzy]

any goals or aims irl bro?

[silo32]

any goals or aims irl bro?

one 60 of every class race combo avil

then as tune said it

we can do it all over again for doubles

Youre like 3 years late to the lets save the server party

hoarders gonna anxiety
