Global ooc - what's the hold up?

[Bkab]

I thought we all established this was a much needed life line in order to help new players be able to find groups and get help with questions. There was a poll and everything with overwhelming votes in favor of global ooc.. Can we please get this turned on for at least a trial?

[ChocoLove]

I agree. It is also a good way to suck people like myself into playing again. It's definitly not the same thing (as on the old tzvz-box) logging into to p99 red to see what's up with the community when you can't read/chat in a global /ooc channel.

[jeffd]

would definitely be good for connecting people trying to find groups

would also provide reading material to help pass the time on boring camps when it inevitably devolves into nihilum's/holocaust's private venue to discuss who's fattest/dumbest irl

I deal just fine. People will leave despite global occ, more people is fine but the numbers haven't dropped since Ive played.

[jeffd]

the numbers haven't dropped since Ive played.

then you haven't been playing here very long. there's like 100 dudes on this server at primetime - why would you resist changes to try and bring in more people?

[Within99]

Fucking thought this was a faggot ranting in Blue server chat, didn't realize it was Red. Yeah I haven't been playing it for long, but PvP server sucks ass, because EQ pvp sucks. The server will not survive.

i act edgy on videogame forums and couldn't hack it in eq pvp

okay

Theres lot of things that aren't classic, Like egg shaped pumice and shaman dispell pots not in the game, UI's, Linking items, resist rates, Line of sight on bolts, there was no Alla or eqatlas back in classic or p99 wiki, You could charm players and fear players in classic im sure i cuold list more, i realize some things are hard to fix while others are impossible to fix, thats cool i understand i thank u for giving the "cloest" to live as it can get, But right now its virtually impossible for a melee to find a group unless you are either

A) getting PLed
B) know a group of people

i've Ran from highkeep to mistmoore(seen some peeps in mistmoore all mostly the 1 guild grouped with them 1 pvped them once ) to sola no najena, to unrest, and i've seen that 1 group in MM, i can tell u im not gonna go chuggin around 2 or 3 hours each day to run to empty zones, global ooc or any time of global chat is kinda needed atleast for a trail i think.

Also you can turn ooc off or ignore the trolls, there is uaully a spam filter on ooc so u cant spam th shit out of it,

[jeffd]

your a fucking dumbass

i bet you spike your hair irl you little devil

Global ooc - what's the hold up?

hold up = no one gives a fuck about server

[Palemoon]

Make a "noobie" channel that only toons under level 20 can join. That will help new folks "make friends and find groups" (as if that strawman was the real issue here).

Anything beyond that is just trolls wanting to play evertroll, not everquest.

[Bkab]

palemoon, you literally have the worst ideas ever. you should probably just refrain from posting them in the future to save yourself the trouble of being such a fucking imbecile.

[Cwall]

palemoon is such a faggot

[Qauz]

Maybe a GM could restrict channel admins on a certain channel, then everyone can join it, or leave it at will, leave OOC alone imo.

You're an idiot.

The reason no one plays here is owing to Troriste, Skelly, and Supreme's constant exploitation and training. They read about how your guild has ruined a server and then don't bother. I can't say I blame them.

[Flunklesnarkin]

Would you also say that red servers on live did not need zone OOC? Or Auction?

Because the server has a population of around 150 right now, which is less than OT or Gfay had back in the day. The chat channels DO NOT GET USED because people are too spread out.

I suggested doing it by continent, but it would be easier to just flip it on for the entire server.

Do it. I don't care if there are asshats in it. There are also asshats in zone OOC. There was a poll in favor of turning it on. I want that social aspect to actually exist, or yes, this server really is going to be death to any casual/solo player starting up. EQ is not supposed to be a silent solo experience until you reach level 40, and the /auction channel is supposed to actually get used.

[bakkily]

we dont need a global ooc

You already fucked up one server.

Look at the shit mess on forums, all global ooc would turn into is a place for clowns to broadcast shit nonstop

[bakkily]

exactly! though i dont have a clue how the .irc works

[Flunklesnarkin]

global ooc being implemented or not won't make much difference


as long as PvP red is a carebare PvP server... less rules.. moar pew pew

So basically, you don't want any chat or auction to exist at all. You want single player Everquest where you never interact with anyone.



Too bad. The majority of the players disagree with you. I don't care if it is moderated with an iron fist, but I think all of this fear of people actually using ooc is really lame + overblown. Try it for one week and if it scares the absolute shit out of the staff or something, turn it off.

Do me a favor and start a level 1 melee on this server. Play solo/casual till 30. Then come back and post in this thread, and save the barking at me just because you don't like my guts. Thx.

I did and it blows, run from guk thru ro thru oasis thru commons all the way to najena /shouting for grps no reply. Ok now take the journey to hhp lookin for grp, no reply, log. An average day without ooc

[heartbrand]

global ooc thanks

[steaks6]

global trolling = no thanks

Steaks, banned for exploiting, doesn't play on server, opinion meaningless.

[Daldaen]

Global OOC not classic though :(.

[Zuranthium]

Server population this low isn't classic either.

[heartbrand]

Paineel not classic, damage bonus not classic, endurance not classic, seeing mana total not classic, terror forged mask not classic, splitpaw revamp/ ishva robe / summon corpse not classic, blue diamonds not classic, alchemy not classic, shadowed men not classic, necro pets not classic, should I continue?

[Not_Kazowi]

Turn on global OOC, what the fucking fuck with people crying out of their dicks about it? If you dont want to read it, turn off OOC in your settings. If it gets way out of hand then the staff can just remove it.


This server is dead, DEAD. I mean its just done, at this point anything to bring any amount of players back should be done. Logging in is literally like playing quake or something, you cant chat with anyone unless youre in a super high end dungeon or a large guild. fuck bros

[Harrison]

Global ooc kept vztz alive, right?

[Diggles]

http://i.imgur.com/3Rcsc.gif

[Harrison]

That didn't answer my question.

vztz had global ooc, stupidly high leveling rates, yellow text, etc.

It's still around and very successful, right?

I mean it must be with everything they're crying out of their vaginas for enabled there! There is no way that such a quality server could ever fade into obscurity!

[Flowz]

vztz died because of the zone_CMD had nothing to do with global ooc or TY.

[Harrison]

Oh, it's still not around?!

That can't be! It had global ooc, 2boxing, stupidly fast leveling, hacking going unpunished 24/7, and yellow text, "bro"! It was the best server ever!

[Flowz]

if that zone_cmd shit didnt come around it could still be nobody knows the answer to that question, we had like 1 gm that was left and all this shit was going doin and blah blah, had nothing at all to do with global ooc, TY, hell didnt even have anything to do with MQ, possibly duping had a part in it, but even then nothing compared to that zone_cmd shit.

[Hovis]

lmao.. everyone loved vztz -- its only problem was lack of GM's and anti-hack system... two boxing was enabled because the population wasn't high enough to get groups, etc.
Yellow Text was awesome, it showed the server how end game raid pvp fights resulted in.
The exp rate was because people wanted to pvp, not be bluebies.
OOC - Yes had a lot of trolls - EVERYONE had the option to turn it OFF.

Get your head out of your ass and stop acting like you know everything.. you dont even play on red99 .. you can't handle pvp so you talk shit about it in every aspect.

grow a damn set and try it out if you're man enough.. if you can't (which seems like it at this time) -- Get the fuck out of here. No one likes you. All you do is troll with bullshit posts which you think are logical ones.

THANK YOU -- DON'T COME AGAIN~~~~ GG

Those that want global chat, use p99 IRC.

But what they really want is a captive audience to troll while in game.

STFU ABOUT NOT CLASSIC YOU ASSTARD. THIS ENTIRE SERVER IS NOT CLASSIC. ICE COMET? RESISTS? /CONSENT NOT ALLOWING YOU TO LOOT CORPSE? Could write a fucking epic longer than the odyssey on what's not classic on this server. There was a fucking vote, the people spoke in LARGE NUMBERS, OOC. LEARN TO USE THE FUCKING /IGNORE FUNCTION.

What this is REALLY about, is nihilum members scared that global ooc will be used as a way of outing their locations. This might actually lead to PVP on the PVP server, which they so desperately want to be a PVE server. When did p99 become Lebanon?

I think we should stop listening to someone who hasn't played on the server since he was level 8 on the beta, personally.

[Harrison]

Server was a joke. No one with an IQ over 50 takes any suggestion that vztz wasn't absolute garbage seriously.

Global ooc didn't save it.
Pussies couldn't handle EQ, xp increased 100000x, didn't save it.
Yellow text didn't save it.
Boxing didn't save it.

Owned. Your beloved shitfest died and everything custom about it should stay dead where it belongs.

We get it. You vztzjects CAN'T handle classic EQ. You got your increased experience after bleeding your vaginas for weeks. Now it's something else. Just face it, you're terrible.

[Diggles]

good lord i have never seen anyone get so mad and emotional over a server they don't play on

[Harrison]

Look, I know there isn't much to do in life as a kid at 17 who stocks shelves, but you can get off my nuts. Your new vztzject pals aren't going to fly to alaska to clean out your rolls.

There is no emotion involved. I'm just ensuring that no one ever forgets who the cheaters are due to apathy. New players who are legit should know who the two scumbag guilds are and avoid any contact with them.

I know I'd be pissed off if I came in new and no one told me that my guild was a bunch of cheating pieces of shit on this server.

[Diggles]

hm, i have no argument, time to go ad hominem and restate my points, which make no sense.

[SearyxTZ]

Harrison why the fuck are you still posting in the red forum, again? I forget.


The best version of VZTZ died on my watch (as people are quick to remind me), so you don't need to speculate on why - I can just tell you. I didn't know how to fix the various hacks (zonecmd, MQ2 zone crashing), and the server owner's wife was sick of him running an EQ box out of their house.

It had population in the 200's when it went down btw, and in my several years of playing/staffing there I don't think there was a single thread complaining about global OOC, pvp kill broadcasts, or an increased exp rate. Not one.

[Truth]

no1 cares about harrisons bleetings

[Harrison]

Of course there weren't any complaints, the server was a cesspool of cheating lazy scumbags who don't play games legitimately.

Their opinions are worthless here. This isn't vztz. Let's not turn it into that since the scope of this project has NOTHING to do with any of the custom faggotry that server embodied.

[Diggles]

Well consider the breed of gamer playing there. Here hopefully we are trying to cultivate a more mature, true 1999 era crowd and culture.

Of course a server populated by the most loathsome trolls on the internet would never complain about OOC.

VZTZ also was 10x more successful and 100x more fun than this server. I mean fucking the things been out for 3 or 4 months and its already dead. VZTZ made this server look like a joke.


I would take VZTZ over Red99 any day. VZTZ had some stupid people that liked to hack etc but the only reason that server ever came to an end is because we lost our committed lead GM.

VZTZ at its peak had the same number of (non-boxed) players as red99 has now at its low. 10 times more successful? I call bullshit. And it was more fun maybe for you, but plenty of the players here prefer red99 to any other pvp server that's come before. Sorry that you'll get banned for hacks if you roll here (we both know that's the real reason you won't play), but don't take your ire out on us, if you don't like the server then don't play on it.

Oh im sorry, you know the "real" reason I won't play here? Cool story bro.

I don't want to waste my time on a server that has dwindled faster than any other EMU server I have played on. I have scoured the EQEMU for about the past 7 years now. This server was very promising in the beginning, but realistically is so pussy and carebear it makes me sick. No global ooc? why? because its such a huge bustling population with a live like world of interaction? wrong. it's fucking dead and boring, you log in and there's absolutely no sense of a community.

PvP seems purposeless. I mean really, other than to defend or fight for a dragon whats the point? VZTZ was incredible PVP. I mean 12 hour long pvp fights over control of sebilis, and Trakanon was not even up. Mass pvp just for the fuck of it, for name sake and Yellow Text.

Just being realistic dude, VZTZ > Red99. It doesn't have to be that way though, if you guys would stop being bitch boys about shit and cling do your dicks over classic this and that, then the server would be way better.

Arguing with you kids over this is a waste of my time, I don't even play. I would if some things changed, but you guys seem to enjoy playing on a obsolete and vapid server that dies more and more everyday. Have fun I guess

[Lazortag]

I like how your post is really vague and poorly written.

[Harrison]

He's clinging to a dead server like a bitch. Not even a good one, either.

Boxing, level to 50 in 2-3 days casual, bans had zero meaning as a result of the previous; so hacking was prevalent everywhere, worst pathing I've ever seen in a game possible, exploits never being fixed, buggy as fuck, custom garbage.

Cry more and gtfo if you can't handle a real pvp server. YT, Global OOC, and superspeed leveling is not pvp. It's you being terrible at the game you want to pretend to be good at.

I'd wish they were harder on cheaters here, but it's infinitely more hard here than it ever was on any shitbox vztz iteration. You get banned here and you lost a real investment of your time, not a casual pussiness to 50 like vztz.

[fiegi]

This message is hidden because Harrison is on your ignore list.

[SearyxTZ]

Harrison your broken record trolling really is anathema to anyone who plays or wants to play here (or at least anyone who reads the forums). Rexx is right on this, but I'm not wading into some pointless VZTZ vs Red99 debate.


VZTZ was an excellent server that was around for years and paved the way for future red servers. Red99 is the only game in town now and has a lot of things that VZTZ never did (like solid anti-hack), so the potential is there. How about we focus on what's going to get the server in better shape?

[Harrison]

The facts stack up against your blind love for a terrible dead server.

If it was any good it would still be populated, or alive at all. It and most of its populace was garbage.

Just admit you guys can't handle classic EQ unless massively pussified. Stop blaming everything for your own failures.

[SearyxTZ]

You are the only one on this entire board who brings up VZTZ constantly. Probably 500+ of your posts at this point.

[Harrison]

It is very relevant to any discussion where a bunch of people are crying for shit that shouldn't be in Everquest.

[lethdar]

Shocked people don't have harrison ignored.

If you're worried about people making lvl 1 alts named nrmnrmrnrmnrm or iliilililili to spam ooc, just make it so ooc is only lvl 10/20/30 or whatever plus.

[SearyxTZ]

Or just solve problems after they actually exist, instead of being scared of global ooc under the pretense that it could be spammed/trolled in the same way any chat channel which actually gets used can.

[Harrison]

Or just solve problems after they actually exist, instead of being scared of global ooc under the pretense that it could be spammed/trolled in the same way any chat channel which actually gets used can.

It's already been experimented and our population was less disgustingly vile and pathetic as this one is now. It was spammed to high fuck to the point of making it nearly worthless. This will happen again.

Stop crying about problems we've already dealt with and cry about ones that need to be dealt with still, such as exploiters running around not banned.

[Not_Kazowi]

I mean I really do not care if this server does the things it needs to get the population up. I don't even play, but I mean it's almost as if you guys prefer a dead server getting worse every day over change.

I am not here to argue VZTZ or Red99. I played both and know what I experienced. If red99 did some things to increase its fun factor then the population would shoot back up. Just sayin'

The fact is that it's not getting worse every day. I'm not saying it couldn't get better, but it's maintained a stable population for about 3 months. It's not going to die. You guys played on VZTZ when it averaged 80 people a day and half of them were boxers so it's ridiculous that you act as if red99 is unplayable with four times as many non-boxed people.

You guys have to stop assuming that the VZTZ crowd is the only one whose opinions matter. The majority of the server probably finds red99 extremely fun (why else would they continue playing?), more than VZTZ. Different people value different things in a server; I find red99 more fun because the community and population makes it easier for me to be anti-pk, and because the server is more well coded (especially with pathing, spells, exploits, cheat detection, etc.). I also prefer slower exp since it leads to more mid-level pvp, and greater consequences for exploiters. While I think VZTZ was borderline unplayable, I'm okay with some people liking it more. Just expect to be corrected when you say that VZTZ was "ten times more successful" when it had its ups and downs just like red99.

Searyx you're right about one thing. Since red99 is the only server around we should focus on making it better and not reminiscing about a past server.

[Jirr]

Global ooc, faster experience, legalizing training, and ignoring griefing all encourage or facilitate exploiting. Yes, you would attract people that want to load up MQ chase someone around and kill them over and over while spamming global ooc with racial epithets and obscenities vztz style if you managed to successfully lobby for these changes. Is that what you really want? Do you even need an EQ emulator to pursue those activities? This is what killed the population on previous pvp boxes and has discouraged many of us from leveling on r99. If you want the staff to increase the population then ban the antisocial griefers and show those of us on the sidelines that this box won't turn in to a neglected cesspool like the pvp boxes which preceded it.

[SearyxTZ]

No, dude, I think the only thing people are discussing here is chat.


This has nothing to do with griefing or training.

[Jirr]

Global ooc makes griefing and training more entertaining for the griefer...

[Not_Kazowi]

Global ooc makes griefing and training more entertaining for the griefer...

If you arent prepared for griefing and training, regardless if ooc is in or not, then you shouldnt be playing a red server? Your logic is completely flawed.

Turn on OOC, if you dont want to read it then mute it, fucking simple as that. Server is at 100 people online, while blue has 700. I mean 100? dude thats so low for a server with the staff and hardware it has, im sorry.

[Palemoon]

Global ooc makes griefing and training more entertaining for the griefer...

There is truth to this, what is the fun in killing someone 257 times in a row while they are afk at work if you have no audience to brag to?


Global OOC will only promote more griefing.

[oldfish]

Im not concerned about people bragging about kills, that would be just fine.

Its just part of this community is utterly idiotic and would start to spam idiotic stuff all day long.

You know the saying "this is why we cant have nice things"

better off getting people used to using the IRC channel and making a sticky about this so that more people get on it.

The IRC channel would suffice to help people find groups if it is properly advertised.

Wouldnt want people new to the server log on to some idiot spamming "Eat cocks you n*gger loving sluts"

Also, global OOC wasnt classic (I know, many things on this server arent), it will introduce all sorts of things that shouldnt be there, like a group of gankers in SK that is broadcasting so and so player just left the zone, so someone in NK or lake rathe can actively look for him.

The advantages to me arent worth the negatives.

Rex, on a pvp server you cannot afford to turn off global ooc. As soon as it is enabled you are forced to read the rantings of cast and naez in order to gain the information necessary to be competitive in pvp. No human being should ever be subjected to that.

100 people on the red box is an accomplishment at this point by the way. After the failings of the previous iterations anything above 25 people is progress.

[SearyxTZ]

Jirr, we can keep making the red server wear a blue dress and we can see how that goes. Polling is a very fair method of measuring what players want. Go look at the global OOC poll results as they stand currently. This isn't even up for debate.

Someone trolls OOC, you /ignore them or just /filter ooc (to get the exact same experience as we have now, which is nothing)

It is no different than these forums or IRC. You arguing against this is like saying the forums should be turned off.

[Lazortag]

Also, 100 people is not this server's average nightly population, it's closer to 150 (as it has been for the past few months).

[Zallar]

Polling is a very fair method of measuring what players want.

Polling here isn't too accurate considering that everytime a troll gets a temp ban they just make another forum account.

How many accounts do you think folks like Cast and Steaks have to throw at any poll they want?

Stop duplicate forum accounts and polls would be relevant.

[SearyxTZ]

The bottom line is this: I have 40+ hours played already on my current toon. I can count on one hand the number of lines of OOC I have seen since I started. I have not seen a single auction.

If you are all up in arms against the mere idea of global channels because of the big bad scary trolls that you can ignore easily anyway, then you tell me how we fix this problem.

Turning global off is not an option on a pvp server as it deprives you of necessary pvp information. Sadly leaving ooc on forces you to attend a 24/7 klan rally where sad lonely people flood the server with their vitriol. Global ooc will only work if there is a dedicated staff to monitor and police it, and that just isn't feasible. Even Blizzard has given up on policing their chat channels and limited chat instead.

Thats a consequence of the low pop, not much we can do about it.

Auction, that is solved somewhat by the trade section of the forum.

To me the biggest problem with this wouldnt actually be the spamming, its how it opens up a big can of worms of people getting easy access to intel they would have a harder time getting their hands on without global OOC.

For example, if someone says on an IRC channel that so and so is leaving the zone, has anyone seen him, the chances are that people wont see whats on IRC as immediately as they would on global OOC. Also less people would be logged to IRC than global so that the chances of abuses of this would be lower.

[Ragemaster9999]

We need global OOC... im tired of soloing and never being able to find any groups because everyone is /anon. Even /whoing people your level wont work. Im about to give up tbh if I cant find some partnership soon. This would be a simple fix and you could opt out of it I dont understand why it isnt implemented yet.

Thats a good thing, isnt the whole point of a PVP server to facilitate pvp? I would love to know where the fights are going down at, so I can either avoid it or jump into the chaos. We rolled red cuz we wanted to PVP, yet most of the people against it are complaining ooc will have PVP related side effects. WELL DOH.

On a side note, one of the things I really miss about previous iterations was the xxx has killed yyy in <insert zone here>. Used to love the KILL/DEATH messages and you knew players were actively killing eachother every night due to the global server chat. Granted, it wasnt classic, but it made the server seem more active, and thats what P99 lacks atm... an active community

[Flowz]

lol no its not, the average is 100, 125 at good times and usually 39- 40 in the mornings lol.
1) u can turn off ooc so, so if u dont want to see it u dont have to
2) they can put a lvl 5 or 6 lvl limit on ooc and also make it where u can only say like 3 or 4 lines every 15 20 seconds so u cant spam spam it.
3) there needs to be some way to interact with the rest of the server, if not global ooc, make a new channel thats optional for poeple to join.
4) ooc does not lead to greifing, thats YT, if the guy is going to greif you, you are gonna get greifed anyway global ooc or not, YT now thats different.
5)There is truth to this, what is the fun in killing someone 257 times in a row while they are afk at work if you have no audience to brag to?


Global OOC will only promote more griefing. This is not true, if global ooc was in, someone could of possibly told that guy he was still logged in if they started to brag about it, which is the oppsite of what you are saying. NO Global ooc probably made him get killed 257 times, or just had no effect on the situation at all.

I would rather that they implement hot zones with xp bonuses and better coin or loot to bottleneck PVP rather than this shoddy mechanic which would more than likely be abused by zergish group of gankers more than people like you lookin for a fight.

Lol really ur scared about someone knowing your location on a 100 person server? what are you even playing here then? its not like there are lots of zones u can goto anyway higher up, solb, guk, perma, ct, if ur not in one of those zoneswho cares where u are. For someone to go all out in ooc and try and find someone, he must of did something to them. People dont just go all retarded because they got killed in pvp, mabye u should stop training the guy, or stop trying to scam the guy and mabye he wont be looking for you in ooc.

Except it doesn't work that way at all.


VZTZ had global ooc for its entire duration and nobody ever complained about someone's location being given away (GOSH ARE THEY IN LOWER GUK OR SOLUSEK B? WE'LL NEVER KNOW).

This only ever popped up in the theorycraft done on this forum by the 5 people who have an unnatural fear of people having the ability to communicate in a video game.

u could allowed that and i still wouldn't care, if pvp enters my zone my first thought in my head is they are comming my way, even if they have maps and know my exact location, the only way they are getting the jump on you is if you let them. Its nothing like that anyway, even if someone tells somoene where u are, they still have to run to your zone and hope you are still there, zone in and find you, not to mention U know they are comming, WAY different then zoning in and knowing someone's exact location some of the fukin zones are huge,

[heartbrand]

Not getting the big deal behind yellow text being bad, it encourages actual PVP taking place on the PVP server. The server as it exists now, is one huge zerg guild which lives inside of Plane of Fear, almost never venturing outside, and then Holocaust and Founding Fathers. There's the occasional skirmish between FF and Holo but really PVP is almost non-existent outside of the occasional nihilum who tries to do manastone for those two hours a day that nihilum isn't farming shit.

Try finding a group as a melee with a population of 60 with global ooc turned off, it's not a pleasant experience. Combined with the horrid experience rate that was in earlier (nice fix btw) made me and a few friends stop logging in pretty quickly.

For all it's faults vztz did a lot of things right.
The hacking, apart from the zone_cmd and zone crashing, was manageable. A shitty player hacking is still a shitty player and would get owned as such without using any hacks yourself. A lot of people can attest to this. A lot of the asshats around here i'm sure are convinced every singel person on vztz hacked, believe what you want.

There were idiots spamming in ooc every now and then. I turned off ooc when I felt like pretending I was in a desolate hut deep in the djungle. It didn't prevent me from being victorious in pvp. It's not as if people will report every time someone is entering the zone you're in.

The feeling of a community here, especially during euro hours, is unfortunately non existent.
Join .irc is a shitty argument. It's hell of a lot easier for the people who would prefer not to use ooc to turn it off than forceing everyone who want's it to tab in and out to a IRC channel.

I'd give it another go with global ooc implemented. For what it's worth that's at least one more potential player.

By the way, who the fuck is this Harrison person?
It's funny he thinks anyone gives a fuck about who exploited and cheated in the past.
Not funny in the way where you laugh with someone. Funny in the way where you laugh at someone.
I guess life get's easier if you try to find a purpose to it. Harrisons is obviously to make sure no one ever forgets who did what, where and when (on an emulated eq server). Funny after scrolling past a thousand of his posts i still have no idea who did what and for every post i care even less.

Not getting the big deal behind yellow text being bad, it encourages actual PVP taking place on the PVP server. text.

QFT... this this this! Yellow texts lets people know where shit is going down, and it can be used to both locate hotspots or avoid them... so its balanced either way. Speaking of hotspots, maybe we could get rotating overland zones that give dungeon modifier EXP bonus on certain schedules, LIVE did this at some point to encourage people to congregate in certain areas and other emus did as well if im not mistaken.

At this point GLOBAL OOC needs to be implemented, because if it isnt there is no way new players starting on this server with no outside help will stand a chance in HELL of sticking around in the newbie zones when their all by themselves.

So if all the new players who come quit shortly after, where does that leave the server? Old players will get bored quit, some may get griefed to quit, eventually the population will dwindle and it will be GG for Project 1999 red, another PVP server and last remaining one DOWN THE DRAIN FOREVER.

Put limits on OOC, one message per 60 seconds, to prevent excessive spamming, whatever I DONT care... and telling me to alt tab to an IRC channel is pure fail, especially if the same effect can be more convienatly gotten in the game.

This server is GOING to die, without new blood sticking around, mark my words. I really like this server and if it does die, I will be very very sad. Anything that facilitates community and or pvp on a PVP server should be implemented!

Also all the idiots deleveling people for luls your only cutting your own throat. Every person you permanently grief off the server is one less PVP opportunity and one less potential group mate. When/if Rogean decides to shut down the server due to it being too much to manage or too low pop then the few wankers that will remain will be very tearful, no doubt.

If you want to see what a desolate server looks like, I encourage you to check out EQ live PVP server, you may find there are eery similarities between this box and live pvp server despite 14 expansions or so worth of content difference.

Im sure this would be abused, but i acknowledge the advantages, easier to group, livelier server etc...

At this point i dont care, devs could always take it off if its heavily abused.

they wont have to ever take it off because they wont put it in

because they dont care ! Move along plz

[Lazortag]

Incorrect, yellow text was server wide, people would often troll things like "Blizzard has defeated Verant" etc., etc., but it was most certainly server wide until a patch later on eventually changed it to zone-wide.

Okay, so I remembered something incorrectly, but it still only happened in duels. And yes I did play classic EQ (pre-kunark), all this means is that I was also playing during an expansion where they were changed to being zone-wide. I never remembered them being server-wide; get over it. The fact that you guys get such a big chubby over me making such a little mistake when the brunt of my post was still correct shows that you need to grow up.

This will probably get lost in the see of spam but it's worth a try.

I'm a new character who just started on Red99.

I wanted to play a bard but seriously, there is nobody online during my play hours (early morning). I have no way to even FIND anyone. Now I'm trying to solo my way up with a necro.

To people who say join a guild. I generally want to meet and group with people a few times before trying out a guild. I guild with people I meet and find interesting, but it doesn't seem like thats possible when I've seen 2 people.

Without global /ooc I don't forsee sticking around simply because I don't feel like soloing this whole game.

Also, I don't think I have ever seen so many terrible horrible forum trolls in my life. Seriously, why haven't admins banned these people and keep banning them every time they make a new account?

[Cwall]

yo dude bard one of the easiest soloers

[Bardofyore]

yeah, I still much prefer grouping than running in circles for days.
I think I might just have to join a guild and meet people after getting tagged.

[loserofgame]

Some of the more serious offenders have been banned several times(mostly temp-bans), but there is a serious lack of consistent moderation on these forums. Most likely this is due to there being no dedicated forum mods, Guides pull double duty on the forums and in-game.

Your best bet is to opt-out of the RnF section(s) and to make judicious use of the ignore function if the trolls bother you.

I'm not rly quoting so dont get all mad.

Global ooc didn't save it.
Pussies couldn't handle EQ, xp increased 100000x, didn't save it.
Yellow text didn't save it.
Boxing didn't save it.


Wrong on all counts, since they weren't put in to "save it", they were available at ~launch and it was one of the longest surviving emus ever!!! :p

The only reason vztz died was because Gronkus stole the box, and Keegan was discovered by internet detectives to be a plastic man ass selling magget and got all mad.

just a reminder:

Global ooc will only turn the server into a livesteam of RnF with special kids pounding badwords in their keyboards. If RnF goes server side in Global OOC, then the amount of bans would destroy server population. Notice how the beggers of Global OOC are the same forum spammers?

TLDR; stop crying for global ooc because you only want it to livesteam RnF and have server population destroyed

this guy is smart , and its also why i was against global ooc

the problem of the server is only 1 person with a brain started a guild that invited people

now they cry its a zerg since everyone wanted to join because holo didnt want to increase their roster

jokes on you pals if you recruited pvpers youd have a raid force , instead you can just grief newbs farming gear

just fucking put ooc in, the server feels dead without it, im even trying to start playing again

[Palemoon]

The majority of the people asking for ooc are people who find classic EQ too hard and do not play. global ooc is not suddenly going to give them the will power or attention span for classic EQ.

We dont need global ooc ruining our immersion just so forum trolls can log in on lvl 1s to spew hate and troll in game.

you have 0 clue what you are even talking about. you havent even played a server with global ooc im sure. OOC provides a sense of COMMUNITY, and a way to reach the 70 players that are skewed across the world. Right now, this thing feels dead. No one is going to log on level 1s and troll, i mean that never fucking happened on vztz. There are ways around that too so stop bringing up the immersion and troll threat. People can turn ooc off, it will bring a lot of players back, probably 30-50 will start to play again due to the sense of community it brings. We all play the PVP server because there is a little more drama involved, ooc helps facilitate that.

I don't understand why the 30 or 40 people left playing out of 80 have control over the death of the server, its stupid. I am a new player and im having a hard time getting into it since the server feels so barren and lonely
