another solution...

[Rushmore]

I was given a vision that the server would be instant 50 or really easy to 50 like VZTZ...... but all items were Searyx'ed. Thus forcing you to perma camp most items in the game forever. So we would have pvp! And we wouldn't lose players to having all the gear.

See what I did there?

Very easy to camp things and not get messed with here.

It isn't NEARLY as cut throat as the vztz boxes (no MQ helps you have some peace).

[SearyxTZ]

I always thought this was the best approach. Not "instant to 50" (or even 2x), but definitely leaning more on itemization over exp grind.

[Nirgon]

OK, give everyone a race to 50 so they can run in circles while Nizzar screams "help I'm rooted" over and over on vent.

Hm, not sure bro.

[Rushmore]

we did have a good thing going on in VZTZ minus the hackers and wipes. I love 1999 and thank GOD for it! I just want us to work towards a solution and ultimate victory.

Well I didn't make this thread, but since it exists I'll give my 2cp:

An itemization treadmill is better for population. If you look at PvE as two halves - itemization and levels - then look at the difference between them. Levels restrict you. A level 10 might be playing by himself with no one to PvP (because he's level 10). Someone with a FBSS can still fight/play with someone without a FBSS. That's the difference, and it's a very big one on a low pop server.

I dont know about totally Searxy-ing the loot though. A named should always drop at least their common imo.

Chardok was a mindfuck during the Searxy days

Agreed pal.

I actually didn't Searyx any of the Kunark dungeon tables. They just weren't finished, and I was too lazy/busy to comb through them and itemize. Pica did the itemization for almost all of the Kunark zones iirc.

There were two drops that I did curse with my black touch: Skeletal Warlord (tstaff) and Evil Eye (manastone). Both were successful I think, because they were permacamped + pvp hotspots. The drop rate on manastone was ridiculously low for a while and people still camped the shit out of it just because the item was so sought-after.

What does Searyx-ing the loot mean?
