MM or LGUK

Max lvl is going to be 50 to start... start at lvl 30 with accelerated XP, or fuck lvling, start at 50, PvP and get gear?

Start at like 35 so with a +/- 10 level limit for PvP, so people don't completely fag it up and camp alts or some shit with their min-max'd characters.

I'd also say lguk, MM is kind of a pain in the ass and completely buggy and everyone is completely familiar with lguk and some of the best pvp happens there.

Could also do the QvF approach and have tiers of armor drop from mobs, increasing in usefulness as you go into harder zones.

That's already the game plan... some zones will have items you'll want to camp as well to increase PvP in specific zones.

Drops will also be less than what you saw on QvF and the old Crucify servers, but it really wont be too bad.

I almost don't see the point of starting at 30 or 35.. people just want to be max level, PvP, and get gear... I think the leveling process would just be a waste of time for what we're all trying to accomplish here.

When I do release a second world, I do plan on raising the level limit to 60 though.

Tarwine is putting out a great server and I had interest in playing and maybe even helping him develop if he would have liked my help. When I logged in to play,it just wasn't something I personally found fun. My servers offer a different style of gameplay and I am in no way trying to compete with Tarwine. I thought his server was already up and running by the way? Didn't realize it was coming out tomorrow.. I still have a few days minimum and as I've expressed in other posts here, my server should be good to go around May 9th when I get my own apartment with no room mate to bog down the server when he decides to play his PS3.

I also need an excuse to fuck around with C++/PHP/MySQL and running an EQ server is an easy way to get the experience.

If you would start at max level. max skill, max spellset etc. then you might as well just put in merchants that hand you BiS gear for free which is how the WoW arena server is done.

I would be down for that as well since it then becomes gladiatorial and relies solely on skill and knowing your class over who camps what mob the longest or who gets RNG for rare items.

I suppose just put in those merchants and have players drop a "coin" which can be turned in for specific awards and some sort of leader board.

That setup would be alright if you're ok with having a server that is 2% warriors/rogues/monks and 98% druids/mages/necros etc.

I mean that's cool and all but completely cripples pure melee, starting at level 1 with a rusty short sword is fine, but starting at level 50 with no armor, weapons, and shit resists; you'll pretty much be asking to get blown down by chain petting mages/necros or kited to death by druids... which was a huge problem on alter-gate and every other custom PvP server that has accelerated leveling.

I mean if you want people to just jump right in to PvP and have it fun and not some grindfest or being completely revolving around who can root /pet attack first you gotta throw melee a bone.

I believe this is how P99 Red will play out in the beginning and also how every version of VZTZ played out when it was wiped and restarted..

You do have a point, I will think about it..

o and as to MM or Guk.. everyone loves guk and it is a fun place, but the last time i remember fighting over the roof in MM was..... way way back on live. doing MM would switch it up a little

then again, Lguk has multiple entrances, would be cool to have different ways to get into the dungeon, especially if you have having teams.. i dont know what you plan on for the server though

I mean VZ/TZ and P99 is understandable because mages start with some 4 damage spell and have to research to become powerful to do big things, they start with melee on a very equal platform and don't excel until level 8+ when they can start to solo effectively.

Starting them off at level 50 with some pet that double attacks for 120+ as they nuke for 600+ while melee are using their fist that hits for like 6 damage is just plain asinine and would prevent anyone from ever rolling a melee unless they could balls out twink them.

What I'm trying to say is there is a difference between fighting casters 1-50 as you both scramble to level and outgear one another, and starting them at 50 which benefits casters as they have zero gear dependency while a naked 50 warrior is completely useless.

The last QvF had a bigger pop then VZTZ during the same time they were both out. All zones were small and fun to pvp in. Being max'd lvl and then going out to pvp isn't my type of stuff. I usually like fighting for my xp/gear camps.

Correct. You will be ported to Lfay after speaking w/ Ayonae Ro in the the Graveyard zone.

Upper Guk = MM
Crushbone = Steamfont
Unrest = Gfay

Casters will be able to gate back to the GY and melee will receive a 10 sec cast stone to gate back.

I don't know why it would be MONTHS away. P99 looks pretty polished as far as I can tell; just as good as live was at the time. All they would have to do is figure out the resists and some small pvp stuff and copy the world over, right?

Tarwine's server has a really good foundation. His forums and leader board are sexy. Good zone mix up. Raid mobs announce /shout in zone when you attack them. People should stop whining and play if for more than an hr before they quit after dying one time.

According to a 2009 state-by-state analysis by researcher and former NORML Director Jon Gettman, no other state routinely punishes minor marijuana more severely than does the Sunshine State. Under Florida law, marijuana possession of 20 grams or less (about two-thirds of an ounce) is a criminal misdemeanor punishable by up to one-year imprisonment and a $1,000 fine.

Marijuana possession over 20 grams, as well as the cultivation of even a single pot plant, are defined by law as felony offenses – punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. In recent years, state lawmakers have revisited the state’s marijuana penalties – in each case electing to enhance Florida’s already toughest-in-the-nation criminal punishments.

Moss Toe armor was added post-2001 and therefore is not available on P99.
