Can we get an announcement of an announcement?

[Tradesonred]

Hear me out

Throw people a bone, can you announce that you will announce an announcement at latest in 2024, something is better than nothing right? Seems its the best we can hope for here so ill take it.

[Tradesonred]

Id like to thank Gustoo, my manager and others in the dissapointed thread for the inspiration for this thread.

[christmas_ham69]

You are never getting a new server, hope this helps.

Your posting frequency here is sad to watch, pls don't rope

What, like once or twice a week? If youre gonna try to make me feel bad to make you feel better, at least do a little research so you hit the mark.

[christmas_ham69]

Denial is a bad way to cope

[Tradesonred]

Says the guy who made a bunch of throwaway accounts on an obscure EQ emu forum, obsessed with me. Thats alot of involvement and investing.

[bomaroast]

I'm glad we all have this place where we can safely retch, writhe and let our toxicity out.

[Gustoo]

It's a place where I am learning about patience and the value of good communication.

An announcement about the announcement would be almost as good as an actual announcement so I could stop checking the forums.

I literally missed the red 1.0 launch because I was playing beta and there was no announcements whatsoever so I thought I had some time before launch since they hadn't fixed a single bug on the beta or talked about how shitty the ruleset was so I figured I had at least a couple of beta patches to go, but then next time I checked the forum the fucking live server was launched. Been having rock solid communication ever since.

Gotta love it.

[starkind]

I'm announcing this thread a fun short read. +1

Very good idea op.

I am too looking forward to an announcement of an announcement!

[Kokkusho]

Yeah, but for literal years now. In case you missed it, Lite and Rogean went at it and he realized this community is full of ungrateful garbage sub humans. No 2.0 is ever coming. See you in 2030 when you’re still asking for an update.

Yeah in case youve missed it, they were treating people poorly before anyone was ungrateful so you got your chronology wrong. If theyre bitter about the backlash, its their loss, were not in fucking high school.

How is it their loss? You guys waste your time posting here everyday. Rogean hasn't been on these forums for months. LOL.

[Gustoo]

If their bitter about the back lash, it is their loss.

Loss of sweetness in this case.

[Disease]

You people have been panhandling for a new server for years. There is no loss. You all little by little starve and go away. Why would Rogean go out of his way to bring you all back?

[Tradesonred]

The loss is the opportunity to grow, as a person. To learn from your mistakes instead of trying to blame it on others. Because when you do that, you keep repeating the same mistakes. Thats the loss. If they dont want to make a new server because they are sore about a part of the community being toxic, when their lack of care when those toxics were bleeding the community dry is the main reason why the community became what it became, then who gives a fuck. Better not get another server they put up half-heartedly and are going to let rot, a second time. Everyone but me basically in that 100 page thread as been nothing but polite and they dont even feel any kind of responsability to say something, anything to update people about the promise they made.

pls don't rope

[Kokkusho]

Red is in the state it is in because the player base is the way that they are. Pras. Sorry you lost.

[Gustoo]

That’s a joke ^ playerbase on red is no more psychotic than the blue guys.

And disease, give me some credit. I’ve been panhandling since the first moment I heard about eq emu and simultaneously panhandled on shards of Dalaya forums and p99 till p99 team announced the announcement of red 1. I want a classic eq pvp server to play. They let this one die and it’s not a huge ask to give it a second go. It had 3 or more decent years of healthy pop despite a flawed ruleset.

Rogean and team will come through, they already have with blue, red, and green.

So I’m looking forward to hearing the announcement of the date of the server announcement.

Three cheers for p99 team! Hip hip, hurray!

Seriously though, why wouldn’t they do it? Give the blue and green crowd something interesting to try. There’s a sweet spot of fresh server desperation that will give red 2 the best shot and we’re getting close to it.

I think there are three good server options in this order

1. Rallos zek item loot
2. Custom 2 hard coded teams with 4 lvl range and item loot
3. Custom 2 hard coded teams with sullon infinite pvp range and no item loot

Option 1 is best overall for low level enjoyment and engagement and because it’s an actual classic ruleset not a b.s custom ruleset like we got with red 1

Other options are viable alternatives worth considering because they’ve never been done before at scale.

Imagine being a twink Pk trying to loot good items having to make incursions into enemy territory. It will be much harder to get good loot from players and just as fun to try.

People who blame the player base for red99s current pop are 100% blue players + huge losers irl

Red is dead because no one wants to log in and fight for the 789th Phara Dar.

It's got nothing to do with Blue. You've got a grand total of 20 people in the world who give a fuck about EQ Classic PvP, and they're all neckbeards. Say what you will, but the blue player base and the Green both have servers with a population. Rogean called out your toxic BS and ungratefulness and you're not getting a new server.

Keep posting for 10 more years. See where it gets you.

FV ruleset teams PVP 1 item loot and they will.

[Lampolo]

Eq pvp is absolutely rediculous. Tried the red server years ago. Was having fun until me and my buddy wooped some unfriendly gimp trio. They just kept coming back. We couldn't even xp. What is the point of this? Why would you bother if the only thing that wins red is how much time your willing to give up? You could have the same fight for the same camp and win 100% of the time but they just keep coming back. You guys are mentally I'll. You feel like you won cause you grieved somonee for 6 hours until they gave up trying have fun?

[Gustoo]

Thats why they implemented loot and scoot policy, so you didn't have to corpse camp guys like that to keep from being a nuisance.

Actually I can't remember if Loot and Scoot was optional for the person slayed (they could choose whether or not to battle for their corpse) or mandatory

But when you have problematic players usually best is to go to a new spot.

This is why red will NEVER see another server. Toxic people got what they deserved. Maybe next time don't run your playerbase off.

[Tunabros]

strafing and stacking resists sure is fun!

[Jibartik]

Well, I mean, it actually is the best part of pvp in EQ...

It adds 5 stats to min max gear with in a 23 year old game. How good is that.

The way item loot affects the game is interesting too, with players wearing "casual gear" that appears more mortal around town, and then dawning flaming cloaks and magical looking plate armor for the raid fights.

Hell I'd do taxes in Norrath and have a great time if it was possible.

[Gustoo]

Hmm norrath skin for turbotax.

Gotta have a way to automatically upload your w2 and stuff into the game beforehand so you can find it without breaking immersion.

Actually I am every poster who thinks ecoli is a buster. So maybe I am like 4 post here maybe you’ll contribute a funny. Maybe….

So you dont like pvp. You wouldnt have liked Wow Vanilla, you wouldnt have liked warhammer, you would have cried your eyes out playing eve online. We get it, you dont like it. Fuck off to blue or green i guess? What kind of response do you think you are going to get from people who enjoy it? Thats like me going on the street fighter reddit and complaining that matches have to be restarted every 3 rounds, what the fuck is the point of that? Just punching and kicking each other and no leveling? You guys nuts or something?
