Enjoy the positive cycle boys. Imagine this pop about 20% higher on a fresh classic progressive pvp server.

[Irulan]

I want a manastone, anyone have a spare fungi/manastone to give me?

[Lord Casey]

I have at least three manastones. Feels goog

[Sorsha]

Must be a lot of people boxing.

[Jazzy]

To OP

naw

[heartbrand]

we don't need a new server

a new server wont do anything different and only idiots want a wipe so they can be the first one to camp a fbss and try to sell it for 10k

That's why Daybreak and Blizzard release new servers with the same content, because there is no interest in them.

[Tassador]

I think one of the best things about live was jumping on to a new server. The best pvp is during the early months of a server. That's actually the hardest pvp too. On red, I wouldn't dare pvp without a level/gear/health advantage. Shit towards the end. I would run away at 75% health raid buffed with a fungus.

Early days didn't give a fuck about a death. The sad reality of red hit me a couple years ago when I leveled a wizard often times afking for hours on end. My k/d was 12-1 after making it to level 49 non twinked and again hours of afk'ing. I never buffed ever. Had no resistance gear and a few int items. In the beginning on red you wouldn't dare afk even with 12 people on. Cause the 12 on actively looked for you to engage and kill you. I remember there was a time on red when you didn't pull even a light con blue without being fully buffed and healed. On that wiz I would quad kite run oom and actually med kite a snare cycle or two if I got resists.

Red is not what is used to be and would never be that again. Because that was the beginning of the server and now it's a bunch of eq rich don't care afraid to die in pvp.

Can I get a reset please?

[Tassador]

Was just pointing out you can sit in fucking sk doing treats without fear of ever getting a pvp death. I had 8700 gold can't move 20% health don't care nobody coming.

That is pretty true, should be a big attraction to a lot of blue players.

[Baler]

I'm thoroughly tempted to roll a rogue and sit at zone lines.

They know there is no pvp. What turns them off is they want end game and end game here is the same 40 re rolling alts and loot council. Even if they leveled then they would have to compete with horrendously seasoned vets (year 4 velious) that never log off. Can just see the blue clan now. Tune is so nice he is going to let some of us raid with him and give us these dragons. The dragon loots will be awarded to top blue guildies and then they will quit and join tune's guild. Alongside the lucky good players he picked out that he allowed to raid with him and gave them loot. There always be one or two he will be loyal because they are so insane they haven't realized this is a video game.

[Irulan]

Ultimately any new pvp server would just end up in the hands of the bat shit crazies who play 20 hours a day, people like Tune and his disciples. The only way to deterrent the blubies from 'winning' is having it wiped every 2 years.

Either way people like Tass quit the moment they started to have trouble with their opponents having a gear advantage in Velious. He talks-the-pvp-talk but having been guilded with him one of the reasons he quit was his Wizard was fast losing it's killer status they once had in Kunark. He wants cheap easy pvp where it's him over powering some undergeared nub - which signifies classic-kunark pvp.

This is a wall of text about how other people spend all of their time on EQ and poster feels like what other people do ruins the game for them

Sorry Azz, not so sorry, though.

P.S. I still enjoy my time with this community / game even at a few hrs max per week in front of my glowy box.

[Kohedron]

The powers of the forumquest are hopeless against the might of Red99

Yes I do, but those days are over. 2-12 pally still in your future.

From wiki EQ and expansions release dates:
Everquest 1999 March 16
The Ruins of Kunark 2000 April 24
The Scars of Velious 2000 December 5
The Shadows of Luclin 2001 December 4

So 3.5 years and four expansions with a much larger player population. It all points to stale pixel farmers on red. Pvp is elitest shit now. I don't think, two non-twinked fresh to the server players have pvp'ed each other on since 2014. Every encounter since then has had at least one of the parties geared or existing player.

STALE PIXEL FARMING.

That's what EQ is in the end though.

[Albane]

I haven't posted here in like 4+ years, because the server got bland when it was basically 1 guild (Nihilum?) running everything and doing PoF with no comp was boring.

Is there really a chance they will restart P99 red, or is that just dream talk from those people who know a fresh server is always more competitive than a matured server?

Also, would they have to wipe, or could they just build a Red99 deuce and give more system resources to the server with the 500 people playing and less to the server with 1 guild still playing? Hyper-V is free.

[Irulan]

Hyper V would be great if server wasn't run on a Pentium III single core with an Ethernet card with one single 10mbps port.

But yah hyper V sounds cool for this.

The new box would have to get rid the crazy fast exp mechanics.

Right now though there's very little stopping a group of ppl from getting 60 and geared enough to pvp in as little as two months. If you ever wanted to pvp in velious gear, now's the time, join sanctuary, get your body ready. You can do all this and get in shape irl.

Eq is still a goog game even top heavy which is cool and normal for an MMO anyway.

Once Apex gets bored of velious it's going to be only those newbs and few vets who carry on the torch with a low pop again.

There's a lot of fresh faces though in sanctuary. Probably only 40 vets from classic era tops. And they don't log in all the time, mostly just to lead the newbz, blewbz. So 3/4s the total pop at peak is ppl who can become pvp pros. Box has a lot of potential. Imagine a box with peak 300 dedicated pvpers.

[Irulan]

Tune is like the exception to the rule. Plus Tune is fine, I'd play with them if it made sense from a healthy box standpoint.

Like I'm not going to sit here and make fun of hours logged to justify who's on which side or which side is good or better.

I do think the underdogs do exist and are building momentum and we might have a good summer though.

Sorry my original wall of text was bad. Anyway I know u got high levels parked in orbit of the box Azzar. I'm not even expecting u to log in unless u see peeveeepeees going down and feel like joining. Like I respect ur done gearing and leveling everyone's alts.

For a healthy box ppl need to do that without relying on box legends and old timers to do it for them anyway.

Nvm.

Essentially don't worry about the pop on this box of weirdohs

[Fame]

8 years later and talk of wipe among the peasants is still a popular topic


good troll

People always going to want a fresh start. It makes the game is more exciting. Stick to whale watching and terrible weather.

[Irulan]

I remember being criticized pretty badly when I jumped out of the wood works with Wipe_it_Clean.

Sadly Wipe it Clean's avatar (etch a sketch Neil) is dead to entropy :( And so is the account.

[Tassador]

How is the elf simulation pixel modulation upgrades forecast for today looking like?

[Irulan]

52 players online at 10:31am on a Friday, I'm guessing only a very slite chance of a wipe, with mostly clear skies and probably a Tune lead raid force later in the evening and early morning.

[Irulan]

Not a flipping chance lol.
