Tunabros knows what's up (quote within, the 350-500 people waiting share this sentim

[White_knight]

please just let red die so there can be a new one...
im begging everyone

Edit: title got cut, should say sentiment) at the end.

[adichi]

doesnt have to die, maybe make a new server and merge like green plans to do? lots of ppl put in ton of time would be a shame if they just deleted

We have three solid concepts. That’s a total of 4

1. Two teams (custom teams) Sullon rules (no pvp level range or item loot) not bad but means low level game is garbage can just waiting to get to high level
2. A real rallos server 4 level range with item loot. This is the best idea since it’s an actual classic server not a half baked custom like red99 started as
3. A rallos rules kunark only server just for the hell of it
4. A discord permadeath server with seasons. This is a real live eq concept and would be fun.

Any of these are solid I think 2 and 3 are best but I feel like the weak sauce will win out and we will get number 1

[Tunabros]

big brain moment

[Swish]

Discord permadeath with points for kills incentives really would be good to try.

[Tassador]

How about just a reset with the fixes in place that hurt the server on the initial launch. Actually fuck that red is fine lots of pvp just butt hurt posters. Continuing playing forever.

No reason to not enjoy what we got, but solid A+ post coming from an old school pvp'er with much respect.

Hate to break it to you, but there is no new PvP server coming. Not tomorrow, not next year, not ever.

[magnetaress]

Can be depressed or go box on RoZ.

Or play here. Choice is yours..

I don't like custom EQ with boxing.

I’m confident there will be another pvp server.

I think they will bring it out when it has best chance of success. That means probably after velious blue launch and there is peak amount of people ready for a new server.

We had robust population for all of classic and Kunark and were tanked by the time velious came out.

That tells me we could have a robust server for a couple of years at minimum. Red 99 had a lot going against it. Corruption. Bad custom rule set. Poorly announced launch.

The bad players will be there but that’s just unavoidable.

Maybe 6 months or so after green hits velious

One thing is that I missed red launch by a month or two. I never had the huge problems leveling up on a single mob in newb yard like people talk about on green.

Can someone tell me what it was like day one and week one of red? I played beta and waited for a change to beta sever to test first then they launched red with no announcement so I missed the sever start. Kinda like they rolled kunark out for green based solely on a promise of the timeline from a year ago.

If they’re so committed to keeping promises we will get another red server as there are lots of statements saying it’s something they’re doing. And heck, we know there is no reason for them NOt to do it

[magnetaress]

I agree, time will tell )

IMO this is what red is all about : https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3212310#post3212310

They should launch it when we go to hard lockdown in late January.

I like the classic Kunark 2 year season cycle idea, dump characters on red and make it permadeath lol

It was fantastic, and everything you probably imagine. Tons of newbie PvP, level 1’s with rusty swords duking it out. My favorite memory was a downright 5v5 battle in Unrest for the yard trash. It was glorious.
One month in, numbers dropped into 30’s, 20’s and sometimes single digits. Over the next couple of years there were cases of numbers rising, at times into the high 100’s/low 200’s but it’s been stale for quite some time now.
I do not like being the Debbie Downer but the reality is, there’s no incentive for the devs to release a new PvP server. They dumped lots of time and energy into what Red currently is, and the majority of the PvP community spit in their face. I don’t blame the devs.
Enjoy Red and be happy you’ve got it, just don’t hold your breath for a new server.

I am pretty sure this was sorta Sirken's and Nilbog's pet project. They probably don't really have the dedicated pvp experienced staff for a new new server. And it probably takes quite some effort to load up a box. I tried it once and gave up midway through the linux install.

I'm going to hold my breath though. I don't have a heck of a lot going on that requires oxygen up there anyway.

If something did happen it would probably be green GMs experimenting.

Red99 still better than green/blue.

Last time I loaded the "real"tm alternative, it was kinda broken. The devs were killing people running vms by making their monitor explode and snooping peoples machines, but allowing people with massive armies of multiple accounts to run rampant anyway. And they only have the one pvp server, and lots of people do box hard there. The cash shop, token thing got way out of hand, control. And a lot of people use that to sustain 100+ accounts. (on the dead servers) which the Zek is on live, sorta. Less dead than some, but... in a weird kind of half existence.

The game didn't even run properly with default settings out of the box, it would CTD until some features were disabled.

Still, I'm solidly backing the red2.0 push, because there is nothing to lose by doing so. Rogean won't wipe red 1.0. Your pixels are safe.

I think if someone was a dedicated blue player, Aradune would be fine. But meh. I'm red.
