I don't know about most of you, but any other PvP server that we've played on had yellow text implemented for every PvP kill. How can you have a legit pvp server, without yellow text?! I'm pretty sure everyone who gets a kill would like it to be known worldwide...I feel like this is a major reason as to why people even play a PvP server, to acknowledge the fun of player vs player combat.
You don't have to include the place of kill if you don't want, but at least have the yellow...why not?

Having played on both Live and the EMU global yellow text is definitely awesome.. but... It gives away a lot of the mystique. Especially since "So-and-so has been slain in Nektulo's Forest", and then everyone and his brother runs their to track down the ganker. It's got it's plus and minuses but I wouldn't mind seeing it implemented. Zone wide at least if not server wide.

And its not even desireable, its just another way to grief and poison the server community with. PvP should be for in game reasons, not to get the most YT.

Another bad point about YT:
Especially with no global /ooc , you could be an evil ganker traveling from zone to zone hunting unsuspecting victims. Walking up to them, them looking at you with innocent lamb eyes, and then you kill em.
With yellowtext, the whole world will know instantly who is on a murder spree and who isint.
Its artificial, and bad for server culture. Let players communitcate among themselves to out the griefers, not yellow text.

Palemoon youve obviously never played on a server with YT
In the very beginning of Rallos Zek (and beta for that matter), a global yellow text message fired off if you beat someone in a duel. It was quickly removed.
Lets compromise then.
Give global yellow test for DUELS only. But by Kunark that too goes away because it was abused to send profanity and vile stuff globally. (kinda like global ooc now).
So yes, I have.
Oh, and that also reminds me, even Shadowbane, "THE" pvp game of the last decade, only had pvp messages in channels below global (like guildchat, siege channel chat, etc).
Global YellowText is suitable for haxbox only.
Keep red99 classic.

Surprise is awesome element in classic pvp. I don't want players to know who and how many I've been killing in the zone. Nor do I want my chat filled up with shit because some happy ass is camping a player 8 levels below him just to get his name in lights.

Was there any further info from the gods about maybe implementing YT that declared when larger "battles" were happening, meaning a lot of pvp was happening? I can't remember for sure but I thought Rogean posted that idea somewhere. It would be nice to know if there was something brewing, we might be in the next zone over and miss it all otherwise. With the modified pvp tagging levels, a modified YT announcing bigger battles could make huge fights... ie a group vs group karana treant camp fight could end up in a war.
Any old school wars were word of mouth via /tell, and therefore smaller than they could have been.

Just because something is not classic doesn't mean we have to adhere to some dogma. I mean, throughout the course of EQ things we're balanced and patched because the community got involved. I don't see how saying because "It wasn't classic" means it can't be implemented and fun for everybody at the same time. Retaining a classic server experience while still implementing necessary changes like:
Fixing Zone plugging
Pvp scoreboard
Yellow Text
Will not make it NOT classic but more pvp friendly.
A good example is what p99 has done with a really cool concept yet retained a completely classic server experience is the auction tracker
http://wiki.project1999.org/index.php/Special:AuctionTracker
You can see the ebb and flow of the economy and current trends of item value. This isn't classic but it's really useful and imo adds to the server experience.
Nirgon
09-29-2011, 12:13 PM
The point of the "project" of project 99 is a classic server. This implementation is a server with OPTION to pvp not INCENTIVE to pvp. The incentive is to contest spawns etc, not to spam ethnic slurs globally after a yellow text msg. Which is what I think you guys are shooting for.

It's not even close to 50/50. It's 15 people who want yellow text, all of which happen to be box shitlords, and who also happen to be the loudest voices. Luckily the staff here seems to understand that the majority of the players are not forum warriors.
Now, the whole "promotes pvp" logic is so fucking flawed it should actually hurt your brain if you believe that. Rallos Zek gave you ability to PvP. You didn't have to do shit. It was mainly race wars for the first year. If you chose to play a PK, fine, but it definitely wasn't celebrated. If you chose to play it the same exact way as blue but chose to get down every now and then, awesome. True bad asses earned their reputation by making enough rounds – not camping level 4's and smirking, hoping everyone just saw their name broadcasted across the server as they reached for more Cheetos, because it's obvious that Name In YT = Supreme Bad Ass. This is not a first person shooter no matter how bad you want it to be.
You also don't need yellow text to "know where the pvp" is either. It's been the same fucking zones since the beginning of time.
The only legitimate reason for YT would be a massive zone guild battle and needing to know who's been dropped. I think if two guild's /guildwar eachother, than maybe a solution to zonewide/global YT should be looked at.

Why are people trying to assimilate this server into another crappy re-incarnation of VZTZ?
The spam will be beyond annoying (I really dont care if a level 3 alt in Gfay beat up lvl 2 alt). Especially if the server has a decent population. It may have been interesting on VZTZ cause there were like 20 people in the world. People learn pretty quick who the PvPers are quickly and end game guilds will know where the fight is just by guildchat and vent.
A lot of the fun of PvP is the randomness it adds to the game. I remember meditating paranoid as all hell. For that and the inverse of moving through a zone picking people off I don't want globaly information of whats going on. If someone gets killed and they want to get there friends over they definitely won't need to rely on YT to get the word around.
The argument that it gets people to PvP makes no sense. People are playing on the server to PvP.

The big difference between this box and the rest is the population should be high enough where yt is not needed to "encourage" pvp. Should be plenty of action everywhere with the number of people playing.

what if the YT was less info?
Just a "PlayerA > PlayerB"
Or even "PlayerA DIED" Don't name attacker or location. The yellow text lets us know shit is happening!

I like YT but with a population that might get 500 at release, YT would be so damn spam heavy.
Even zone wide, imagine gfay having 50 YT's.
Would get more annoying than fun. At first I was all for YT, but a component on live that I liked was building a rep through more pvp not possible alt farming YT to get some people to look at you.

Instead of "yellow text," join a guild and look for enemy guild tags. Everyone that's playing on this server has already chosen to play EQ PvP style. Any claim about yellow text "promoting PvP" is baseless and arbitrary as the decision to play on the server alone is enough.

Exactly.

Great idea

I don't QQ or bitch about any changes that ever get made to this server, I fully support it and obvy not gonna bitch out and go play somewhere else (PS I CANT). BUT I just don't see a clear argument behind no YT. If we were getting anywhere near a live like pop I'd understand... but we won't... EVER and the yellow brings that alive feeling to the server that keeps people playing, and keeps the lowbies grinding. All positive 0 negative, I just don't get it.

Make YT for people above level 20... spam will be greatly decreased without the meaningless lowbies

Altergate had a twitter feed. Figure out how to do that and all you fucklords who keep clammering for your first person shooter aspects can alt+tab between EQ and Twitter.

See, this is where you're wrong. It's not RED 99. It's Classic EQ PvP, which means there's all sorts of shades: reds, purples, pinks, and baby blues.
Deal with it. Just because the RED group is the loudest group doesn't mean everything is going their way. We've all seen how RED boxes end up.
