I wanna start over

[Gustoo]

On a new pvp server

I know pvp isn’t for everyone but most people haven’t done it.

Using resist gear all the time and keeping buffs up and using potions and clickable items really makes the game more involved.

It will be a really nice chance to progress through the completed project with a different dynamic.

Please staff. Fellow forum dwellers, new pvp server is good for all.

[sgtbrushes]

There's just not much of a demand for it. Best of luck though

[Jibartik]

Just here waiting.. looking forward to it.

A lot of people want a new server soon. It might as well be red as the players who want a new server enough will try red and a lot of em may find it to be better.

Eq pvp doesn’t make the game totally wacked like some other games. The more “normal” blue players the more stable the server is and they can interact with non guided pop however they choose.

If a strong arm guild came and insisted on an anti PK attitude it would make a big difference.

Not like nihilum or any guild who takes anyone who will bend the knee.

But there’s a lot of ways it can play out. Everyone who plays can get a year or two of fun that’s all I need and if it is good for longer, all the better.

If red 1.0 switched to a classic rule set I’d still play there too.

I want team PVP

[Gustoo]

It would be nice to start over on a pvp server so everyone can get an honest shot. Red 1.0 launch was a long time ago and the staff has learned a lot about pvp and making rulesets Willy Nilly since then.

[l0053g0053]

My dream would be a PVP Team server with a lot of GM tomfoolery in the beginning. Go a little wild with the original experience.

Teams would be amazing, but I think a system where everyone is flagged normal, then there are quarterly events with specific gods waging wars on each other, you can flag to join a specific team and it culminates with GM events ect. Maybe a little TOO custom, but I feel like that would be the place to do it.

Thats goofy goober, I will take teams pvp please thanks :3 I always liked that concept with fights over control of EC and a small truce that could blow at any moment

[eqravenprince]

I don't even like competing with other players for content. I definitely wouldn't like getting killed by other players.

[magnetaress]

yep plz cap eq pvp server at lvl 40 and vanilla

item loots

and no planar action unless u r g-dlike which u ar not ur just an elf

[Gustoo]

Red 1.0 is the place for you for no competition, its stable with good classic database and no competition. The ideal server to explore a classic like experience.

Red 2.0 will be for people looking to have a significantly more classic experience mostly because of the additional amount of players.

[Goldknyght]

Red 2.0 is destined to fail. No one will play it outside of first week at best. PvP in EQ is terrible. guess these are troll posts, cuz green 5.0 will happen before a red 2.0 is even thought about.

[Jibartik]

99th times a charm

All servers die. Not every server truly lives.

[SummerYU]

Hi, I also want team PVP, any suggestion?

[MaddiusTheMad]

New Red server with vanilla lock at launch! team pvp and open registry among so many players would create a whole new perspective of PVP servers, you'd gain a lot of new pvp server loyalists and casuals. Do red 2.0 or Magenta/Ruby/Orange/Pink/Wine w.e

[Cen]

I don't weigh in much on PvP discussion, and I've never played red, but I did play rallos zek on live classic primarily and went to sullon when it released for a year or so.

If a PvP server showed up that was popular I'd be on it, but if a bunch of folks like me out there think the same way it would never work since we're waiting for everyone else to show up lol

[surron]

my experience on red so far has been... platinum and items given to me without begging, druids buffing potg without asking, druids PLing our groups without asking, anyone within range gladly grouping regardless of the composition.

very nice community on red99 imo. this is my 2nd play through since my main was deleted a long time ago.

there are rarely low level PKs. whats the worst thing that happens? someone kills you and most likely it turns into a positive reaction after that and you learn something. just dont /ooc your level and location when lfg and the chances of a PKer is even lower. if you're continually harassed, ask for some help in /ooc or take a break. it's really not a huge deal.

at lvl 60 it's an even better experience. people who play carebear servers and are bored of the never ending grind would find some unique fun on pvp server. it adds a more social aspect to the game and truly offers more depth to eq.

if there ever is a new red99, imo teams would be cool as it potentially pits low level twinked PKers against each other and allows for a "somewhat" safer feeling

[Encroaching Death]

I've thought about playing on Red.

Considering the population, should I think about rolling a class in terms of what may be needed for raiding or what's effective in PVP?

No you should pick a class that can solo because nobody plays that garbage.

[surron]

lvls 1-9 went by in 1 hour because i happened to join 2 others in same time... lvls 10-11 took about 2 hours of soloing... lvls 11-17 took about 1 hour from another group and some buffs.

so to answer your question, someone who can solo because if there are no groups then its tough.

additionally, imo halflings are best starter race because druids use RV a lot and can buff... but that's really only relevant for 1-16 or so.

probably anything except war, rog, or monk imo for starter class

[Gustoo]

Agreed with Surron. You can AFK level a warrior killing one mob and waiting for HP to come back with an egg timer but it’s kinda crappy. Monk can do this too. Rogue is hardest class because they get to the point where they can’t one on one faster.

Be the class that will be fun for you.

[Gustoo]

checking in for new server

[Jimjam]

New PVP server should be teams.

Instead of allowing character creation it is populated entirely by /testcopy characters from the current Green and Blue servers.

Your origin server determines the team of your character.

[PatChapp]

Yeah reds a great solo PvE server
You really don't need to worry about PvP,since noone is around to PvP with
It's just even more of a blue server,don't even need to compete over any camps

[PerplexedPurplePixel]

I just want to chime in real quick, the most fun I ever had PvPing was when Twisting Nether (PvP/RP) opened on WoW (back in the day, not recent) and everyone was leveling at their own pace. My guild and a few others (horde side) when we were all around level...I want to say 30? went and raided Darkshire. We were not much of a match for the guards (if I remember the levels correctly) but we ended up with almost the entire server both factions in this one area pushing against one another and just tallying kills.

Suffice to say, I'd be down for a new PvP teams server (though I have no idea how feasible that is)

[Xer0]

I would probably play a teams based pvp server-- make it racial based. Though that leaves the baddies in a pretty rough spot with no druids ;/

[Cen]

I would like it with 2 or 3 teams but based on nothing but deciding what team you are on :P They could never get the balance right with races or dieties on live, sullon was close.

Some great mood in that screen cap. Rip young hobbit.

[Smuuglie]

VZ/TZ Style of pvp could be pretty rad

They get the master race, the biggar race, the smelliest race, i mean! They dominate pre-kunark, then get the master race to fill the ranks...

[kgallowaypa]

teams only

[Pengting]

Do we actually have a rough estimate of people who want another Red server? Is it significant enough to justify the running of the server?

Red has like 30 players peak times why is that?

[Treefall]

Teams will come, one day.

Just like jesus.

As much as I am not really fond of the idea of playing on red at the moment, if there was a teams server oh me oh my. I like the idea of alliances, known enemies.

Did that ever exist in live? Feel like some races would need to be nerfed though.

[Danth]

Tallon Zek and Vallon Zek were both racial teams-based rulesets. Both of them were severely damaged in the long run by cross-teaming. The game wasn't really set up for that type of ruleset and VI/Sony never sufficiently customized it.

[ghoulington]

It would be so fun to play some casual eq against the biggest no lifers the game has ever seen on a new empty pvp server

[gradyk]

i would be game for teams pvp
