Population Predictions

[Sithel1988]

What do all of you think the population of red99 and blue99 will be on the 18th?

[Secrets]

What do all of you think the population of red99 and blue99 will be on the 18th?

about the same

[Sithel1988]

thats not a number

[Secrets]

thats not a number

that's not a number, that's a free man!

[Nirgon]

Pop will be stable on live. Lot of people from blue might roll up alts in spare time and if they find a good crew maybe even convert over. EQ's all about the people you play w/.

Not to mention, guises and manastones.

[jrwriter]

Exp deaths will deter some poeple in the first month from pvp

[jrwriter]

that's not a number, that's a free man!

I think 300 to 500 on release date on red week after 250

[Lulz Sect]

http://i.imgur.com/Otmru.jpgconfirmed

[Nuk3Afr1ca]

400 on day one at least, 500 if lucky

Population will plummet if Null's insane ideas about crowd control spells aren't reigned in though. The entire melee population will quit the server.

[Lulz Sect]

[Not_Kazowi]

probably like 400-500 then after the first week it will settle down to 300+ and stay there

[Lovely]

Gonna be to much people the first weeks!! But I guess that's not really a bad thing in the end

[returnofahipster]

Iknow about 30 people that arent ever going to log out.
so u can atleast count on them.

[gloinz]

over 9000

[ChubbyBubbles]

I think pop will hit 300-350ish possibly first few days. After first weekend of tears, will drop to about 250ish. Then remain about that for a few weeks and slowly dwindle down to about 200ish people stable.

[Lovely]

I'm with Rexx on this one

[Nirgon]

As far as xp deaths, this is why I'm in favor of player policing. As a former PK myself, it was common for someone to announce me in the zone once detected. That alone was a buzz kill. Furthermore, if I went into somewhere like Highkeep? People would drop what they were doing, see invis up and come out with their pitch forks and torches.

[Fryden Goldenbeard]

You must have been a real asshole Nirgon

[Lulz Sect]

i dont think everyone realizes how big this is gonna be :X

[Nirgon]

You must have been a real asshole Nirgon

Uh for a while I was a very destructive youth on "teh EQz". But I learned the errors of my ways and got involved with pvp that mattered, aka contesting raid spawns, not ganking people for loot I could farm myself. Good luck shedding a bad rep as a griefer, took me a name change and a whole lot of digging into a reasonably feared pvp/raid guild to get through it. I still never lived down the DB/PB names in the end but it was fun.

[Rust1d?]

Guessing about 300-400 to start. After a month or so it will be about 100-200. There is no boxing so plus you will have people leaving because of griefing etc.

[Nirgon]

Depends on how hard people are trying to grief people off the server I guess.

You know, I do remember being told I couldn't come bother someone for a while after I killed/made them plug a few times on my rogue twink (http://ralloszek.stephans.org/rz/playerhistory.php?player_name=Shadowkreapr). I was told something to the effect of "I've seen you attack so and so 'X' times in the past few hours". So I stopped, no warning or anything.

PS: couldn't imagine playing that character with no item loot lol.

[Nune]

Who was the retard posting links and videos on the Sony Forums? I played a DAoC Private Server that had about a 2k playerbase until they started advertising it on live server forums and it got shut down

[Sithel1988]

i only think theres gonna be like 250 on blue and 200 on red

[YendorLootmonkey]

Depends on how hard people are trying to grief people off the server I guess.

This. It will make or break your server. If you all act like a bunch of asshats and grief people off the server, you'll be sitting here in two weeks trying to think up ways to lure more "fresh meat" to Red99 because there's only 50 of you left.

Identify the griefers early, condemn them as a threat to the livelihood of the server, and go after them en force to make sure that sociopathic behavior doesn't propagate on Red99, and you might stand a chance to build a healthy community that can enjoy PVP.

[Atmas]

I honestly think the ruleset of XP deaths is going to keep the population low. That and the griefing. I love PvP but I really can't do the the massive amount of time classic XP, while PvPing and with XP loss would take.

Also I kind of feel XP death deters PvP, but that is just my thought.

It's a shame because it looks like a good amount of work went in to make this a better Emu PvP experience.

[Sprinkle]

first night 500
second night 450
second week 300
third week 200
after that 200 peak average 100
3 months 50 people

due to mega griefers / dickheads / generally unfriendly people

[Rykk]

^^^^ this all day

exp deaths during pvp? are you kidding me? that's lame as shit.... so I'm lvling and some ass wants to kill me when I have 3 mobs on me and I lose exp? I don't mind losing the cash but exp is a whole other thing * about an hour worth of play time depending on the lvl*

[Sprinkle]

just nuke someone till they are 20% Then let mobs finish them

then /high five the mob server population-1

[Lovely]

I don't think the XP loss in PVP is gonna be the difference if someone quit or not. However this could be.

due to mega griefers / dickheads / generally unfriendly people

[Rust1d?]

I think you will have a fair amount of people griefing others. With xp loss, they will leave the server

[Lulz Sect]

^^we can only hope so

[Rykk]

Pretty sure exp loss will deter a ton of people from the pvp server. it's not classic and it only serves to give mega griefers an erection, knowing that they just cost you 2 hours cause they caught you at 10%. Since most people won't even bother putting up with it, the server will become just that a bunch of mega griefers / dickheads / generally unfriendly people .....with a population on par with beta

[Nirgon]

I'm still going with item loot over this xp death business :P.

Coin is easily and quickly destroyed. XP is going to result in the mad griefs, though will discourage coming at the same group over and over and over.

[Sprinkle]

xp death is the dumbest idea ever by the dumbest devs ever

imagine a nice guy who gets killed , on running back to his corpse dies again

gets corpse killed within 10 mins

he now has an hour of xping to make that back

and im sure in that hour he will be totally fine : )

I agree, Id rather lose an item before exp. exp loss will literally turn this server into a shit show.

just have a feeling it will, I know that with class exp rates no one will want to die then get killed on a corpse run losing a couple hours of play time. Also I don't ever remember losing exp in classic pvp other than dying from a DoT after zoning or something but if I must I'll find more info on that

[stonetz]

Dot's would take it sometimes which also wouldn't credit the kill to the other player. I remember killing people with dots and not being able to loot, pissed me off.

I like how xp loss stops bind rushing but it makes sense that anyone who gets off on griefing will love it. I can see it running people off when they're killed 6 times in an hour or on CR's etc. We'll see, they can always remove it later.

[Lovely]

I don't see that much griefing happening. It's a time waste for both parties.

If I kill someone live ill move along instantly. I don't wanna waste my own time to fuck around.

[Sprinkle]

yea lovely but what your not seeing is lower end melee die alot

so after you kill them someone else does

then they go to town and get jacked on the way for their coin ( By a gnome )

die again otw back to exp grounds

most will just look at their xp bars and say fuck it


Remember guys its 10 years later , its just for nostalgia , if they really want to keep classic xp i understand , but there should be no penalty for pvp death

otherwise server bombs after a month due to all casuals quitting

[valithteezee]

This server is also more about reputation than previous box's. If I get CC'd by somebody on a CR multiple times I'm sure as hell not going to take it lightly and will be more than happy to repay the favor.

[Rykk]

Yup, and i'm positive there will be plenty of people competing for title of biggest douche. Didn't mean for my rant to turn this into bitching about exp loss, but hopefully the devs will take that into consideration. *and get rid of it*

[Sprinkle]

what dev's the ones that we have to scream at for a month to hear something?

i think i started about 20 spell dmg threads before i finally saw null's latest patch actually making things right

good job null , thanks bro


but i think the problem on this site was so many people voice opinions and they never even played back then , or had any idea how things worked through all the expansions

[Chronoburn]

We either need exp loss or item loot for a pvp death consequence (coin loot is not really a consequence besides at level 3) Go play wow if you don't want any consequences.

[Sprinkle]

thats the problem , everyone goes to play wow , and without casuals you dont have a server

thats a silly comment


and item loot means casuals level NAKED another strike

and it means pk's are fully geared and ROLLING IN GROUPS , strike 2

and with xp loss STRIKE THREE


casuals out , box is nothing but assholes and dev turns it off after a month cause no one plays

[SearyxTZ]

shut the fuck up

i don't think i have ever agreed with you, even once. But this is correct.

Thing is, this is an EQ EMU PVP that is specifically "classic" I don't know how much further from casual mmo you can get. Our "casuals" won't be whiney little bitch bois they will have thicker skin than the hardest wow vet (lol). So no worries bro, just play eq and have fun.

[Chronoburn]

I, for one, am casual player. I also will not be griefed off this server by exp loss from pvp.

Hopefully, a good chunk of the casuals fall into this category.

[Crenshinabon]

I am with Chrono on this one. I am casual and also like death penalty.
Griefers just give me more people to kill for a good reason.

[Atmas]

Coin loss never mattered past low levels. The real consequences for PvP loss were being naked at bind (no gear and lost time) and losing contested spawns.

XP loss seems very counter productive to getting people to PvP and very supportive of people looking to grief.

[Atmas]

I don't see that much griefing happening. It's a time waste for both parties.


What forum are you reading?

[Not_Kazowi]

I don't see that much griefing happening. It's a time waste for both parties.

yeah waste your time like bind camping my cleric and trying to knock her into the lava with a force shock spell? or rolling into solb with 4 casters and repeatedly killing me while im on a mob? suck a dick dude

[Lovely]

What does forums have to do with what happens in game. People talk big but not many back it up.

[Atmas]

Griefing isn't something thats hard to do. Anybody in gear can kill someone naked.

[Lovely]

yeah waste your time like bind camping my cleric and trying to knock her into the lava with a force shock spell? or rolling into solb with 4 casters and repeatedly killing me while im on a mob? suck a dick dude

LOL there are exceptions for loudmouths who spam /ooc 898 times after dying once.. But that wasn't even the reason why I attacked your naked cleric at your bind. I only did it because you were AFK and it was a good opportunity to test some spells I hadn't used before since it was my first time playing a Wizard.

I don't even bother killing people I dislike twice cause it bores me to death. I rather move along to find new victims or do whatever else I wanna do.

Anyway griefing is an equal time waste for both parties and only dumbasses would do it on live.

[Sprinkle]

ive griefed , god knows lovely has too , so has many others

i wont sit there and do it all day but when a casual gets griefed by 5 people in one day he is gone trust me ,

nostalgia or not

[Not_Kazowi]

sorry pal, keep telling yourself that you are super pro and a stand up player. Looking into the mirror of reality youre just a scrub that pvps in completely skewed situations.


You repeatedly came to kill me at my bind and while i had mobs on me, and that was the ONLY time i ever saw you. When i finally had a group to PVP yours, you threw anon up faster than fuck and stayed at least 4 zones away. You also got real quiet when i asked you to bring your crew and party, i cant wait for live pal. Hard walking into the lions den Lovely.

[Lovely]

I have not! Doing it on someone AFK who doesn't even lose XP cannot count.

[Marras]

I'm going to grief lovely and sprinkle off the server so we can all pvp without the 2 most annoying fucks I've ever seen post on a message board.

Rofl you're good at making up stories. I've never been in a PVP group. I did some duo PVP with Flip like a month ago and I've grouped with with a few random people over the last month for maybe a total of 5 hours. Other then that I always roll solo. I even left my guild so I could have more people to kill since I didn't group with anyone anyway.

You won't find a single person on this forum that I've "griefed" cause I haven't. I'm not saying I'm a stand up player nor that I want to look like one. But you're pure lies are just bullshit. You make up stories every time you make a post.

[Sprinkle]

[Sprinkle]

lovely left his guild once he was 50 and most everyone quit already

he participated in 0 lowbie pvp ( The best pvp as we leveled up )

i leveled slow as hell cause all i cared about was messing around and pvping , he burned to 50 grinded a bunch of gear , and got ice comet so he had an i win button

then he just pushed it every 5 seconds and acted awesome

/winning

Lovely caught rexx riding lonely?

[Lovely]

Cool made up story Sprinkle. Feel free to add that Lovely continued to rape everyone even they was given full raid gear, all spells and level 50 and will continue to do so on LIVE forever and ever until the day Lovely quit. If you think Ice comet is a "WIN" button in PVP then it just says how bad you are. Good luck killing me with a 6.3 sec spell.

[Lovely]

It almost sounds like you're proud of doing lowbie PVP. Fighting casual scrubs who are stuck at low levels without resist gear must make you proud. Some of us actually tried to level to 50 asap to at least fight capable players. Oh and I left my guild when I had already killed 95% of all other 50's on the server and wanted new targets (aka my guild).

I started 4-5 days late and that's why I missed the massive ZERG lowbie pvp fest. Not that I'd have any interest in it. Might as well make two level 1's and pvp if you enjoy lowbie pvp it's about the same thing..

Dunno why I'm even writing this. What is your point exactly? I missed lowbie PVP? OH noez.

[Not_Kazowi]

Sorry but you won't be able to grief someone that will ding 50 before you reach level 15.

ATG wasn't my guild. EIU was only guild I ran besides treason which basically was EIU. A guild that did something no other guild on history of vztz could do. contest heresy. sounds to me like this nobody is somebody afterall bros

lololololololol you where asix bitch , sit down child and EUI crashed zones and froze people screens.... good contest right there pal...

[Lulz Sect]

is the server hosted in a datacenter with 99.9% guaranteed uptiem 24/7 onsite power generation backup (if so, for how many weeks?)

what about server failure/failover system? are there two red 1999s running simultaneously and when one dies, we switch over instantly? after a server boot?

and MOST important - does the current server/network architecture of r1999 contain the capability of handling over 9000 concurrent connections without performance degradation

[Vile]

Even though Kringe is my brodawg, his boy Bodu and others in EIU had some gnarly zone cmd hacks which only made it possible for EIU to compete.

I'd say Virulent offered more of a fight. There was some mega tards in EIU.

this quote implys its uncommon

the pvp champ could defeat 2 shadowknights as a pally at the same time

even 3 if i've had my spinach for the day

[Tarwine]

I could defeat 2 shadowknights without executing a single roll-jump.

[taakyn]

Titty what did u do on any box? U fucking ran with amaly for the longest.

[taakyn]

And vile the only way we competed was zone hacks? So lethdar bombfist solid gnar etc are horrible pvpers? Funny bc now they are all guilded together. Also our one v one in Tt I owned u

EIU had some decent pvpers sure, soon as they zoned into chardok that one night and took over my character and made my vision stuck in a wall along with the rest of my force, it was all over.

If you seriously are going to try and say EIU was some legit challenge against heresy then gtfo. Biggest hacking ever, way beyond speed hacking or warping, was the CMD_zonedelete bullshit.

[taakyn]

Funny someone who has openly admitted to having mq loaded before but doesn't use anymore. Come on heresy hacked just ad much if not more. Pot calling kettle black bro?

[Not_Kazowi]

hah dig more pal, like i give a fuck i used mq when vztz was 30 people in alpha stage, the owner and creator of the server told us to use it until one day he made it illegal.

Heresy didnt hack, maybe an individual did here and there, but they were swifly dealt with and kicked if i had anything to do with it.

Heresy did it big, we didnt need or want to hack, we enjoyed a challenge.



Also: taakyn confirmed angry nobody wannabe on vztz. GM assistance plz

[taakyn]

Easy to own us on 1.0 when your whole guild was geared to the max huh bud.

[taakyn]

Eiu served heresy many times. Even before all the cmd bullshit. We took fear from you guys just to be trained for hours by portbots until a gm logged in and handled up. City of mist we owned the Fuck outta u guys in a 20 v 20. You guys have a video uploaded of fighting us in tt where half of us crashed while zoning. Everytime you guys lost especially rexx ooc was filled with hax cries and personal spam from you rexx asking me why am I guilded with hacking scum like kringe solid and whorella. Oh wait aren't you guilded with them now?

You seeing this shit tommy boy? Ole fire engine Rexx mad. He really knows how to hurt someone's feelings saying I'm a nobody. Idk if this makes me a bigger nerd since I was nobody on vztz or him since he was supposedly the shit. I'm confused

[Muaar]

[Muaar]

so popular they split red99 into red99RZ and red99SZ with matching rulesets and both servers have like 400 ppl on at all times

[Eldaran]

red99 will have like 200 people playing day one. and 50 the week after that.

[Nirgon]

Nah, will be higher. Don't forget people have a chance to get Russet, Manastones and Guises.

[valithteezee]

I'm going with 400 PEAK day 1 and then 250 two weeks after.

i think you speak for yourself,

some people play because its the only game that does not suck

[stonetz]

i think you speak for yourself,

It sucks in a lot of ways but that's what makes it good. If it didn't suck it would be too easy like WoW etc

xp loss when you die : sucks
get griefed : sucks
trains choo chooooo : sucks
Fail trade skill combines: sucks
hard to get around : sucks
not balanced : sucks
really rare drops : sucks


those and a few other things add up to make it the only game I want to play.

[Nirgon]

I believe it is a deterrent against rampant pvp. It encourages risk when engaging, thus preventing rampant/random pk griefing without consequence for most.

[Crenshinabon]

It sucks in a lot of ways but that's what makes it good. If it didn't suck it would be too easy like WoW etc


A big problem I have with modern games is how similar they all feel. Almost every single mmo I have played in the past 8 years feels like they use the same engine and mechanics. EQ uses a really unique camp system with no instances which I feel like promotes world pvp. No mmo in recent history has gotten mmo pvp right. Which is why I am excited to play classic EQ pvp which Sony also destroyed.

Not to mention I am sooooo sick of First Person Shooters.
Elder Scrolls is the first game in a while I am psyched to play.
Diablo 3 as well.
Unfortunately both of these games will lack good pvp.

[Lulz Sect]

[Sithel1988]

you guys really think theres gonna be 500 people? i dont see it happening. but we will see. 4 days :D

[oldfish]

I think that theres gonna be alot of people when server launches but im afraid because of xp loss that all that will be left after a few weeks is the ones who can put up with it... and i predict thats not alot of people :(

That includes me though

[Lovely]

I predict that 99% of the population will love the XP loss cause people that play on PVP servers usually enjoy challenges. If not then BLUE99 is up rite nau!

[Matador]

Given the recent widening of the Panama Canal and future availability of Chinese delivery, 294 peak, 175 avg.

[tsaC]

I think that theres gonna be alot of people when server launches but im afraid because of xp loss that all that will be left after a few weeks is the ones who can put up with it... and i predict thats not alot of people :(

i hope im the one who causes you to leave

...and that you make a dojii goodbye post and end up coming back a week later.

Shit no, ive played eve online for 3 years. The only thing that might make me leave is boredom. A low pop server will do that to me.

played Goonfleet in eve-online for 4 years

[Darwoth]

same and i played EQ-pvp-vallon zek for 5 years

played Goonfleet in eve-online for 4 years

so you played on a pvp lite server and joined a massive zerg of 5000+ players in eve, and this is supposed to indicate your a seasoned pvper?

anyone that can not handle losing 4 mobs worth of xp per dirtnap is simply not suited for pvp.

[SlankyLanky]

after a month this server is going to have around 50 people running around all trying to kill each other. eq pvp was horrible was ridiculous in classic/kunark, and im sure it got worse with all the expansions i never played. durr red.

judging by the fact that a ton of my pals who i havent seen play a box in like 7 years have dug themselves out of their graves to play this box, and considering how this could be occurring amongst box crews all over the internet, the pvp champs official prediction is 700 on launch night

250 of which will be halflings. Probably 200 druids and 50 of the other classes halflings can be.
200 Dark Elves, mostly necros and wizards.
150 Shaman probably equally divided between Ogre/Troll/Barb.
100 Random other peeps looking for that PvP RP experience.

600 on release. 20 people on 5 hours later

[Evoken]

EXP is nbd, not being able to get a bind anywhere and having to stay in everfrost is what's going to likely make me rage.

[Scrooge]

Day 1; enough to make some zones crash. Once things settle down, maybe 200 at most. We need to keep in mind that live will not allow any boxing whatsoever.

[Sithel1988]

these forums are my eq for now. until red comes out. why even play on blue? WHY
