Poll: global chat/broadcasts & exp rate

[SearyxTZ]

Vote away.


Broadcasts == "yellow text" for pvp

[Doublestep]

I still don't follow the logic for yellow text.

I won a pvp fight, please broadcast my location so they can destroy my weakened, unready body.

[Tombom]

would have voted for Paul had the stakes not been so high, also bodies should always be ready goodsir, just gotta keep that LoH up at all times

[Doublestep]

I gave up the paladin gig, body definitely not ready for -40% xp

[SamwiseRed]

No global chat/broadcasts + normal exp rate (current) +1

[rangers_suck]

global chat until the population is healthy, much like blue did. and no location on broadcast aka "soandso prawned billywitchdoctordotcom". and yes...boost the xp. xp was fine at first, but now that the pop has dropped to ~30% of the release population, i cannot imagine anyone without a PLer making it very far with a melee class on a low pop, long travel time, and no global server.

[Not_Kazowi]

global chat + faster xp


then maybe me and a couple hundred other people would play. Server seems to be dying from the looks of it

[Woosa]

I am trying to stay positive but yeah it seems to be declining fast :(

[Tombom]

it really isn't declining anymore, everyone who is not going to do the grind left and we went from what like 500- now around 200 and some change at peak

still better by far than any vztz box, so suck it up and play or don't, server will be fine

[FoxxHound]

Faster exp rate in general, but preferably without the /broadcast.
Either will work though~

[Flipmode]

global chat, xp rate stays the same but these ridiculous -40% -70% penalties should gtfo so people can actually play something else than a caster

[Chett]

I dont get the sense of the pen's. Rly would like to know what the Devs thinking here...

[heartbrand]

There's a huge difference between classic things which add to immersion such as boats despite the annoyance, and classic things which do nothing but suck. Hybrid penalties never made sense from day one and their removal was the result of a multiple year campaign against The Vision. They didn't make sense then they definitely don't make sense now.

Is this a pve server with pvp or a pvp server with pve because if it's the latter disincentives like classic xp and hybrid penalties discourage class diversification and new players which stifles pvp.

[Billbike]

Yellow text without location.

Global auction/lfg

Boost exp to balance pvp time. Ideally the time to get 50 would be equal on both servers.



Edit: Take out hybrid penalties, or give the penaltys to the "solo" classes.

[Juugox2]

server def not dying ppl just cry to much here to even play it.. been playing 2 weeks straight now.. pop has not changed i knew it would die down after a month. its about 200 at night hasnt changed for weeks i knew that since beta really lol

[Juugox2]

if you think 200 is low pop for only classic then whatever plenty of ppl just pick a non melee type if your really wanting to play if not just just dont worry about it.. obv you dont wanna play that bad if your not gonna put any effort and just cry here all day about XP rates and global :P

[Vile]

I like Global Chat, but don't see the need for Yellow text as others have stated, it gives up your loc...

and FASTER XP omg plz pras Ayro

[IronLikeALionInZion]

People are going to play, if there going to play. Incentives to play will only temporarily bring people to the sever. However things like global ooc will piss off a lot of people who already DO play. Sorry every time someone is pked or in a battle i dont want to know. We had in on beta, it was understandable then. We were "trying" to work together to fix stuff. Yes, I do remember /ooc'ing to the server questions, it was helpful, but it has no need on a live pvp server. Fact is, most of your guy are fucking bizzare and creepy. The few females who play will probobly be disgusted, the intelligent male population will be as well. No one wants to be forced to socialize with you bro! The /ooc also ruins a lot of the secrecy in the game. You people who want global and more xp are never going to be satisfied. Concede to them now, and you will be doing it again, and again till server is gone. Whats next guys? We gonna bring back soul binders? How about newbie armor quests? Just play the game.

[Zallar]

I would like to see a global LFG tool or channel. Not enough people go to the LFG IRC.

Global OOC is a bad idea, it lets people track you and spot for you across the whole game and just imagine the people who spam the forums and IRC now being able to spam global OOC. I'd rather gouge my eyes out and play with my elbows instead.

[Shannacore]

^ Would pretty much be a clusterfuck of text.

[Nirgon]

That 25% xp boost really jumped up the pop

[Vile]

That 25% xp boost really jumped up the pop

100% xp will do the trick imo..

[Billbike]

That 25% xp boost really jumped up the pop

Didn't last long enough for word to get out.

[Nirgon]

Sounds like it would just benefit the people already playing bros.

Go ahead and enable 100% for say a weekend. Announce it 2 weeks in advance. See what the turn out is. I'm interested to see.

[PhantomRogue]

People who quit a game, don't normally come back to the site of the game they just quit. There's a reason I still get emails from Sony, Blizzard about upcoming bonuses, because I don't check their sites!

[Billbike]

Permanent 25-50% bonus.

[Nirgon]

^ truth revealed. Occupy Red99 is beginning.

Start the drum circles maaaaaaannnn.

[Malev]

If people spent more time exping and less talking about exp rates it would probably balance out. Just go to an ezmode server already

[Nirgon]

Some "I don't want to have to wait till Christmas for my toys" shit in here.

[bobo2]

i voted for option 1 because i thought by global chat you meant a CHAT CHANNEL so we can buy and sell gear

yellow text is silly

but the xp sucks bad and people are bailing fast

oh but im sure the 22% that think its fine are playing mages and druids tho

[Vile]

Confirmed, red are bad at EQ. Waaaaaah can't handle EQ. Speed up xp so I can hang! Waaaaaaah.

So much fucking crying.

[fiegi]

am red, am lvl 50

your theory does not hold up

[SearyxTZ]

Billy Bob, do you even have a character here?


This thread is the anti-whine. People just vote on what they think would be best, and that's it.

[Lulz Sect]

I vote keep it as is - crymoars need not apply to r99.

**though I wouldn't be mad if sullon xp instituted due to pvp xp loss on death

[ZEROSUM]

Confirmed, red are bad at EQ. Waaaaaah can't handle EQ. Speed up xp so I can hang! Waaaaaaah.

So much fucking crying.

Not only can we handle EQ, most of us have beat it 9000x.

Let's get to the meat and potatoes of the problem: no emu server (including PEQ) until p99 has ever had 1x XP rate, until r99 no global ooc; and then a pvp box without yellow text?

Get da fuk outta here

[Xantille]

Voted for global chat to help lower level bros.

I'm sure P99 staff view PvP messages as something w/ potential for abuse, so those aren't really necessary.

Faster xp to help my lil bros who didn't have access to solid bard PLs.

[Dfn]

No emu server has done classic exp. You have done this grind 20x.

Does not compute.

Also: this is not a pvp garage box. It is CLASSIC EVERQUEST. if all you want to do is fight with no character development then there are plenty of games available to you that don't require grinding - counterstrike, dota, CoD, etc. Go have vile put up his box so you can be insta 50 and fight for 20min before getting bored and quitting. Maybe that will make you guys stfu.

Also, classic eq makes cheaters think twice about cheating. My apologies to an unnamed zerg with many confirmed cheaters that cannot abuse this.

Voted faster exp and global chat, it's the only way to save the pop.

To me the global chat is more important then the fast exp though, and by faster exp im talking maybe 15% better then now, lets not get crazy

but global ooc or global chat that you can join / leave is needed bad

[Silikten]

Global chat is for complete scumbags. It's where the filth just talks. Keep it out.

[georgie]

don't get your hopes up

[georgie]

staff won't take this seriously because of 17% is irrelevant.. so.

[Rikimeru]

faster xp at lvl 20 and below only please, hell, 15 and below would be fine really.

[Harrison]

33 people confirmed can't handle Everquest.

[FoxxHound]

33 people confirmed can't handle Everquest.

I think most of them can handle it. Maybe they would like to keep their socks clean?

[xblade724]

well Ron Paul is tied with normal xp rate, if that says anything.

[The Neck Beard]

I personally enjoy the fairly empty box + brutal eq leveling curve.

[Morninx]

i voted ron paul. cause everything else is a waste of thread.
