first

fuck it let's just ask daybreak lol, just pay it off at the source

[DRAGONBAIT]

im donating for this shit, lets buy this faggots souls and get it wiped.

meanwhile...Rise of Zek biatch.

[Pyrion]

A team server would be nice. But why do you have to make it appear racist? I mean real life racist, not fantasy racist (by calling one faction "white"). I am sure by wording it in that way the chances of this becoming reality dropped from maybe 10% to 0.01%.

How about size as a new way to split teams? With humans in the middle (can be on both teams, maybe qeynos and freeport on different teams).

Or maybe humans (including barbarians) against everybody else?

[Izmael]

I'd like to donate to keep the server as it is.

ok, my accomplishments on live. 52 VAH BST in euro guild xanadu, 5th highest BSt on server at the time. With in game plat i got myself a 60 epiced rogue named Seigy wich joined Xanadu and did some raids with Indignation people. Traded him for a 54 ranger who i later traded for a 54 pally who got to 57. Then i quit to play DAoC. So yeah man ure right, never got to 60 on classic live pvp...oh shit, u said 50.

im sure u did better, thats not hard. it wont erase the fact that i killed all ur farming alts over and over on r99.

54-12 on an undergeared shaman. best pvp shaman on red99. best regards bro, im just awesome and im better than tune singing.

The rule-set I described would actually be quite fair in terms of splitting up classes and cities. But you just gave me an idea for an even better one: Freeport versus Qeynos.

Qeynos team: Qeynos, Erudin, Paineel, Halas, Kelethin, Felwithe

Freeport team: Freeport, Rivervale, Oggok, Grobb, Neriak, Akannon

All classes available to each side I think and both can play as Monk. Though I'm only 75% sure Bards can start in Freeport.

The server wide fifth best non-classic moon cat animal refuge character!

Hard to argue against that, unless someone here happens to be one of those other 4 moon cats. Probably not though.

Good thing he isn't retarded and won't make a box with rampant cross teaming

[Tune]

nah i think we need a 4th server for aim chat

RoZ = catalyst solo farm
Zek = Billy solo farm
r99 = Sanctuary solo farm

lets divide the eq emu pvp population even further

[heartbrand]

Can we all admit that Velious sucks?

[dussle27]

Great idea, start by dividing yourself by 0.

[kotton05]

Tune you too scared to play no rules got ya

[dussle27]

Can we all admit that Velious sucks?

Bunch of big, boring zones that look the same? Check.
Shitty repurposed NPC models? Check
Retarded itemization that makes all other raiding content obsolete? Check.

Yeah I'd say it sucks major dick.

[heartbrand]

By making the vast majority of worthwhile loot achievable via raids, Velious provides little reason to login outside of raids. Kunark had this issue somewhat, but still had items that were BiS that were only obtainable outside of raids, epic quests to work, etc., and a more vibrant droppable loot economy to farm.

Classic is obviously the gold standard of when the vast majority of loot is obtainable outside of raids and is droppable, therefore creating a playerbase who is constantly logging in to farm and actually play the game. The problem is the content is so sparse it is quickly devoured thus leading to wipe calls 30-60 days after server launches.

[Tassador]

Somebody had the idea of two r99’s. One server is constantly recycling 3 months classic, 3 months kunark and 6 months velious. Then you move those chars to server two which houses legacy chars.

3 months of r99 classic sounds fun not rise of newbs.

[heartbrand]

Classic XP / No plugging / item loot

[Bazia]

this server didnt become completely useless until like 4 years of kunark, I mean something as simple as a 6 month classic / 6 month kunark annual wipe would prob be best

that way if it does die to over dominance it will only be dead for a few months at most

[Bazia]

and hats off to p99 for being the only relevant mmo emu server source code i've ever head of to not be leaked, it's a constant reality for all other mmo emulation servers

although sometimes i wish they were a little less cautious

[Tune]

yea nilbog name yer price to get this implemented

would love to do some cross server ctf games

You say this...'cept you did everything in your power to destroy red99 for a few pixels for you alts.

Including recording over 80 videos of mostly innocuous behaviour of players that most probably ended up in petitions as "Hail Mary's" to get players banned on what was a 100-120pop server at the time.

[heartbrand]

Not sure how Tune destroyed Red99. A FFA, classic [no boxing], low pop pvp server is going to always have one large guild on top. If you look at every period of the box's history, it has been dominated by a single guild, with the exception of a two week period here and there. I could type paragraph after paragraph about why that is, but I'll spare everyone including myself that labor. It's not a Tune problem, it's a classic EQ problem.

[heartbrand]

The only way I could see to make a multi-guild competitive server viable without custom code changes and 100 custom rules would be to have some sort of GM enforced guild v guild battle that's capped at a certain # of players for the right to a mob or raid zone for X amount of hours.

The sad fact is that mass PvP is fun for about five to ten minutes. The hours of prep that go into that before hand are brutal and unsustainable for 99% of normal human beings with life obligations, and the hours of corpse camping / and mob interference that come after are equally awful. It discourages competition, breaking the will of all but those with the most free time, and funnels the losing side into the winning guild's app forum, since meaningful item progression is obtainable solely via raiding for the most part. Most normal human beings don't derive a ton of satisfaction from spending hours prepping to get curb stomped on a nightly basis by a larger and better geared force, and equally don't enjoy sitting at a pull spot for hours as an opposing force fucks with pullers or dispels tanks.

I was talking about this with a member from Dentists the other night and he was arguing how guilds like Catalyst ruined servers because they recruit more than is needed to down mobs. He was wanting something like 5 guilds with 10 members each and that will never happen. The 4 guilds that are losing won't stand by and let the 1 winning guild with 10 people that play 16 hours a day take all the content. You also leave out everyone on the server that wants to play but can only log in for 4 hours a day. If you only have 10 spots someone that plays 20 hours a week can't join. The casuals normally end up in the best guilds because they like to be able to log in and do stuff when they play games.

[Nirgon]

The small elite guilds don't think it be like it is but it do. U kno?
Thx for the write ups esp big HBK.

I could type paragraph after paragraph about why that is, but I'll spare everyone including myself that labor. It's not a Tune problem, it's a classic EQ problem.

My statement was false in the sense I didnt specify a specific timeline. However, Tune was definately a factor in the death of this server in the later stages post Empire.

Example: He'd go out of his way to kill mobs like VS and Trak while farming ToV just to stop smaller guilds from getting any content, this while 60 of the remaining 100 players on the server were in his guild.

It's true only 1 guild dominates red99- but that's an easy feat during classic and kunark where you could clear the content in a day, and where it wasn't so drastic of a setback for other guilds/players to catch up in terms of the gear curve.

However, no one can justify during Velious era besides maybe VP Dragon's any reason for a guild farming ToV/Kael to go kill kunark dragons - it was simply a tactic to stunt any other guilds growth - on a 100 pop server remember.

Edit: also at this stage anyone who was/had been in a tov raiding guild had 1-2-3 geared velious toons so people were just farming ToV for alts and Vuulak yet the destructive, obsessive mentality persisted.

Edit2: It's the nature of the player's/leaders that ruin this game, coupled with the lack of content in classic and kunark that cant sustain more than 250-300players.
I guess my point is that one can rule the roost and let other's flourish in the content they don't need, or you can make decisions that make people stop investing their game time.

People who want servers broken up into small guilds are actually pussies - we all know skill levels vary and class inbalances are strong in EQ. So all a 10v10v10v10v10 guild setup would result in is 10v10v10v10v10 wizards of the likes and all the sub-par skilled and casuals would be worse of.

Plus those sorts of concepts are born out of the ideas from people who flourish in group PvP and would just dominate anyhow so they want to prescribe the server to their most dominating tactic. It's the reverse zerg in otherwords, same mentality though.

[Tassador]

Anyone believing these guys are only playing 20 hours a week?

[Ignight]

dear OP

LoL

[Bazia]

remember when cast spammed gay porn 11 times a day for 2 years on these forums and cyber stalked the staff IRL and doxxed them relentlessly with infographics

that's probably why they aint wiping 4got about the macequesters among us, thanks ronald reagan

[heartbrand]

If only Tune left Talendor up we’d be witnessing 300 pop and guilds gearing up with dragon hero bracers ready to take a shot at contesting for box supremacy

[ApexNews]

all of kunark other than PD was left up for the majority of apex's lifetime, which did not even begin until the server was like 5+ years old, a year after the last content had been released.

nihilum had a vice grip on kunark killing every mob on spawn for years

holocaust steamrolled velious with 90 players.

tune killed vulak with 30 and ruined it for everyone. taylorswift_ok.gif

sorry you didn't get what you wanted out of the server.

[kotton05]

nexona was never touched and it’s a dam shame.

[HippoNipple]

Apex was probably downing Kunark content to get their alts their epics. You can take it as trying to grief smaller guilds but at that point I doubt they gave other guilds any thought at all. If I was a wiz without my epic in Apex I would want the guild to be killing VS.

Ya I'm sure there were a couple hundred people waiting to log in if tune stoped killing kunark content every other month lol

[heartbrand]

Once I found out Orb of Tishan wasn't obtainable I was out

can throw in 2000$ for the cause if hb does the same, lets get it wiped and clean it up

don't care if its a team server or just red99 again with the fixes from start, either way would be fun. the current shit is dead and not worth playing on because all the content has already been farmed and everyone has 20 alts with best in slot gear.

[Ignight]

Isn't a new emulator a server wipe? Go fail there.

[Buhbuh]

save sirken and burn it down

[Irulan]

Dark elfs are the majority. They should be on their own team with trolls n ogres. But not erudites or iksars.

Everyone else can be on the same team. For the sake of continuity, lets just say evil erudites enslaved iksars for the sole purpose of dominating their brethren and the other races as soon as the drow are dealt with.

I believe the only thing they found credible was him giving out a couple spawn timers. This for spawns everyone poopsocks anyways. Not exactly a game changer.

The rest was just false or opinions. I wonder if they will come down harshly on those that created this false flag. They should.

I also wonder how many will be man enough to apologize to him. Probably none. He won't ask for any, I'm sure. Kinda says something about their character and his, actually.

lol the only thing they found

not sure if srs or dumb

they are not truthful to us

who knows why they removed him from staff

they tell the public 1 thing but maybe it was much worse

all i know is this has not been the first time

hes gone for a reason

[Ignight]

On the other hand, Sirken has given a lot of time to this project, and wishes to continue doing so. A change is needed, but nilbog and I believe that a complete removal is not the correct course of action for one mistake and a bunch of unhappy raiders (Let's be honest, when has this server ever had a GM that the raiders were happy with). There are plenty of ways that Sirken can continue to be an important part of this project and staff. We will be moving him into a different CSR position away from GM, where he will no longer have access to spawn data and item creation, but still able to contribute and assist players as he always has.

Sounds like he wasn't completely removed and is still on staff.

You've got me questioning whether it is you that is either distorting or detached from reality, or if it is me.

[HippoNipple]

Rogean and staff may or may not be telling the truth but no matter what the real truth is they are going to admit as little as they can. The less public proof the less they will admit. If you think Rogean making a statement to not worry and the project still has its integrity means something you are naive.

You peons will never know what Sirken has really done but I think they have back pedaled too much. No discipline would have been taken if all he did was give out a timer.

[White_knight]

100% more happened re: sirken. Who else (besides some deranged players) wants to spend their life managing p99. 100% Caculated decision to keep things running.

Bless him for the time he has put into. Better EQ nerd than most.

[Kohedron]

hehe pat on the back quibbling about dead server

[JayDee]

I think they have back pedaled too much. No discipline would have been taken if all he did was give out a timer.

I like the cut of this man's jib.

On the record, I do not agree or disagree with these sentiments, as I hold my pixels too dear.

[Tassador]

Who cares it’s rogean box he gave us free eq whatever he decides is just in my opinion. If i don’t like it then I need to build my own box with free enterprise the way I want too and it won’t beat this box.

Let us never forget the Miami miracle tho! Brady 7-10 in Miami. Losing record :)
