Red 2.0 RP - Sleeper Resets.

[Benton]

What do you guys think about a Red 2.0.
Role Play.
On sleeper wake, server resets. Giving players opposing a server reset to battle any guilds going for server reset.
Sounds like a decent concept that would make for some epic game play, high stakes.

I know blue and green have to have some BIS AFKers that would sure enjoy some drama and challenges and definitely have the guilds out there to make this an awesome experience.

Yes sleeper resetting the server would be extremely savage I'd love to see the PVP for the end of times.

[Tradesonred]

With X20 xp or something, yea

[Tunabros]

it will literally be a race to wake the sleeper to cuck people

sounds boring

This is the ideal pvp server. Obviously it would start in classic and progress like green, but with the players ultimately deciding (via pvp and pve ofc) when the server resets after Velious launch is the best idea ever had. Just imagine the delicious drama!

I still like the idea of level-locked progression through classic and possibly Kunark as well.

What do you mean when you say roleplay? I love rp but what do you mean specifically. It would be hilarious to have strict GM-enforced roleplay imo, but likely not feasible and most players would hate it.

I guess maybe.

But I could imagine a nihilum guild defending the sleeper so they can acquire more pixels.

But I guess it could de-incentivize people to dragon raid for months on end which I've observed to be the #1 most important high priority population demographic of project 1999 so ya maybe its a non starter.

[Benton]

Yes agreed, would make for some exciting EQ.

[Benton]

I think it would bring a great deal of equal parties to fight for both sides.

The very concept is enough to promote a light RP was my though behind it.

Think about how compromised Blue is with RMT and monopolies on trade markets after all these years, if they just made it PVP w/ sleeper resetting I think this would bring back a ton of BIS AFKers and bring life back to P99 in general. Guaranteed I think it wouldnt effect player base at all. Those that would decide to quit after reset would be those that dont bring anything to the community anyways and probably gotten everything they wanted from the game, those that would stick around would probably feel a lot better after starting over on a new blue.

Ya, I could see a 5x, 10x being voted on.

blue players never gonna do red

we've tried this many times, blue players like being blue, they do not like pvp and are too scared of some one ganking them (although it rarely happens)

they enjoy slaying npcs all day, gaining pixels, then afking in ec tunnel all night, where there are actually other people to drool over said pixels

Yea, I know.
Server hosts were mentioning hardware costs the other day on another post, I wish they just did a hard reset on Blue with a chaotic PVP flag everyone and a sleeper wake/kill would restart blue entirely.

[Swish]

I voted for everything, would play 100%

[Gustoo]

Not true. Lots of blue players played red and lots would come over for the fresh experience that they miss or missed on Green now. Theres a lot of new blood for a fresh red, so many years after launch.

If a 2.0 happens it has to let 1.0 live cause I’d hate to see this precious AoNs go to waste. It’s not even about playing the game it’s about hoarding items and talking to people.

Red 1.0 is kind of garbage, I would not expect the P99 staff to host it and would just leech players from 2. I think people will play regardless of item hording, and those that do item horde are 100% not going to quit if a reset happens as been proven time and time again with other server resets.

[Tassador]

Then there can’t be a 2.0. Cause I don’t play red 1.0 but telling you now myself and others will quit 2.0 before a years end. I am not fucking crazy enough to play this game on loop.

So just let it ride…

So live EQ is basically only going because the introduction of new TLP servers that people enjoy playing through whatever content they enjoy, I can see the same process for P99 servers.

[Gustoo]

Yeah. No one wants to join a deeply end game dead server, especially PVP.

Red 1.0 had players for 3 plus solid years with many fuckups.

P99 playerbase is bigger than it was then, and Red 2.0 has a chance at having less fuckups.

No reason not to do a new red. At the very least they can guinea pig fixes for "legacy items" for future blue 3.0 or whatever on red and then blame PVP players for things being a disaster or whatever.

Scapegoat role accepted just make red 2 plz

[silverknight2003]

a lot of really shitty blue players in this thread

[starkind]

Qq more. Red2.0 plz add sleeper apocalypse.

[Disease]

Rogean probably eating japanese food laughing at these pathetic threads. If he cared Teal would've turned into red 2.0. Big Rogean isn't throwing you fools scraps anytime soon.

[Gustoo]

If these threads get rogean laughing often enough we're guaranteed a second server just to keep the laughs coming.

Thanks for the encouragement Disease.

[starkind]

Good humor is the best cure :p

In theory it would be something to make players band up against a zerg.

But it wouldn't work, players never band together even when outnumbered things like ego, greed, stupidity, etc, make players join the zerg rather than fight it.

Even on Sullon my own guild TOW were such bitches they would try to make deals with Hate and Ruin rather than fight them. Meanwhile they could have rallied other newts, but all they wanted was dem lootz.
