Red 2.0 Ruleset Poll

[Gustoo]

Only listing 3 options and no towers option so we get some more robust results.

Thanks.

Nilbog's team map for reference. Not set in stone, just a concept from a while ago.

voted discord on caveat that it is the original discord rule set of vanilla only, accelerated xp, 1 month shelf life.

[Gustoo]

Confirmed discord would be vanilla with accelerated EXP and a fixed short lifespan as determined by staff before reset.

[EatitNerd]

You forgot the most important option

D. Not ever happening

[Gustoo]

Your preference is real even if the server never happens. In discussions on the forum a lot of anti-item loot pro-teams guys tend to speak loud and I'm curious where the numbers stack up. I will do a poll on blue or green forum at a later time where I explain the differences in these rulesets more thoroughly because those guys are the ones that will find themselves considering red when its the newest server with the freshest opportunities for fun.

item loot was missing from red the first. that is how you keep people from sending in their godly geared twink to grief 1v6 without fear of any real loss.

[crossplay]

Voted for CLASSIC but any of these would be fun. A Discord server with built in breaks between server rerolls would be hella fun, too.

Honestly I'm starting to dig the vt/tz ruleset. One day I may be ready for item loot. But I still /hug my items and look at them.

teams pvp would bring more smurfs over tbqh

im a hardcore pvper, for reals.

1. Item loot is not necessary at all in eq pvp, just get rid of exp penalty on death, stop trying to convince everyone that is better if the pker can loose shit, its not. It would draw away lots of people

2. Is this a joke? ofc if we have devs who gather this kind of thoughts for real, the eq pvp community is fucked. Oh, wait, we already were cos of these same people, lets put our faith in them.

3. This could be fun, but no long term comitment on it, could work around the first weeks of each wipe but run very low on pop soon. This is not a real option for us eq pvp players.

I am sad, daoc has its pvp server, shadowbane just opened on steam and its doing better than ever. Everquest was the father on them all, the best of them all by a lot, even the pvp if people stop to understand it quite fun and every class can do its thing.
We are the only community who is pretty much fucked and cannot find a share point where to start and have a healthy server, i know devs aint helping. Not blaming only them, 50/50.

Good points.

Voted East vs. West. Need something different. Tired of the same stale rulesets.

[A Knight]

In rallos are no drop items lootable. How many bronze and up armors are no drop in kunark? And also it would be cool if cultural armor was no drop.

[Old_PVP]

No Drop was not lootable, and was considered the only "safe" gear to use. You would see noobs running around with Shin greaves / gloves, opolline helms, basalt carapace and other random shit gear. If you were creative enough, you could cover almost every slot with No Drop.

[Gustoo]

Cloak of flames, ikky regen, fungi all lootable

It gets tough with velious when any decent higher end guy has good full no drop stuff let alone with planar

Item loot makes some items risky like fungi and also makes newb life actually fun. Trust me it does.

East vs west sounds fun to me but that’s all about being level 60.

I like all these rule sets and strongest fantasies about a real rallos server but because of the predominantly top heavy community I think the east vs west may work best because it at least fixes OoR engagement stuff and a level 60
From west side knows that anyone from east side is pvp enabled.

In the past there were a lot more teams advocates maybe we need to bring people from
The blue and green section over

I'm ready for a Red filter similar to the Rants and Flames filter.
