[Sniperfire]

COACH CAST AND I ARE READY TO XPLOIT ANOTHER VILE BOX!!!!!!

shut down pok this time boss

[Sniperfire]

also crucify

[hagard]

Retract first statement, crucify is win

[Vile]

haha, that shit was so frustrating when you and cast were finding all the holes, but i was able to patch them up pretty quick. the best was the potions you guys had.. and i i think i #killed one of you and i was looking at your corpse and i saw the potions on you and then all the sudden you came back and were dragging the corpse away. i was loling hard.

[Vile]

crucify could work, but i'd definitely put some more time into it and rethink the progression/drops etc...

[Sniperfire]

be nice to be able to hop on and pvp without taking 2 years to lvl and then 2 hours to run back if you die............rem that fun stuff

[hagard]

Or could just have reg vztz style with upped drop/ spawn rates

[Sniperfire]

i have hardware i dont use my pc anymore lets get this shit rolling

[Vile]

i just dont like the huge world and all the zones that are a waste of resources.

allthough, a mortalquest type server could be fun

[Sniperfire]

i really liked qeyons vs freeport was like 8 zones

[hagard]

Could do it and gut out all the excess dead zones

[Hovis]

Or could just have reg vztz style with upped drop/ spawn rates

i like this idea best to be honest - crucify was fun not gonna lie --- just got boring after a couple weeks of owning the same people lol

[Vile]

problem with a vztz box is the source/db -- i don't have the time for that shit, so it's custom or gtfo

[hagard]

Customize that shit and pras for pvp without the blubie timesink. PRAS!

[Hovis]

lol sheesh.. ask voidd for 3.0 or 4.0 before it went down and get the anti hax code from whoever made that and presto, sick server lol.

[Lazortag]

Yeah except that the pathing will be terrible and there will still be shit tons of bugs (like selo's working indoors). No thanks.

In all honesty Vile, if you're starting a server I wish you luck. I likely won't play because I don't have time to split between three servers, but if it's a permanent death server I might give it a shot.

[Vile]

[Vile]

one problem with running the full world is my box/connection. we'd need a super reliable host, which is why i always opted for small custom worlds in the past.

[Cwall]

never played one of your boxes vile, but it would be a treat to see/try out pal

[Doublestep]

if a new box is going up i need a crew. lets go

[Winni]

Big things happening in this thread, start a donation drive for reliable server imo.

[Vile]

nah, not gonna call for donations. gronkus already but a bad taste in people's mouths with donations lol.

if we cant get a reliable host, it will just end up being whatever my connection/box will support.

[Vile]

it's not even the hardware thats the problem.. i have multiple boxes that could easy run as the server, it's my internet connection that will crap out after about 65+ connections. i think thats where crucify started to take a shit...

[Winni]

nah, not gonna call for donations. gronkus already but a bad taste in people's mouths with donations lol.

lol I can drop 50$ for a server to play on for months. Can't go back to blue server now and ship is sinking fast.

[Truth]

Yeah except that the pathing will be terrible and there will still be shit tons of bugs (like selo's working indoors). No thanks.

thats not a bug its a db setting

who care about pathing? bluebies

also pathing terrible on p99 hence exploited naggys

I'll talk to TZT admin about getting you a dedicated box. Might be doable.

We had a server I was developing on before red99 and after VZTZ had shut down.



Word of caution: don't let Searyx GM and run it into the ground

Wouldn't GM if you paid me so no worries there.

[Hovis]

I might reinstall EQ for this.

Also, "Brother Cast" NPC in surefall is a definite must have again though :cool:

hmu on aim ross

[Secrets]

If this is actually going to happen I have a box and I can give vile complete access to it.

It will be similar to QvF if I get involved, I still have the shit I did for QvF minus the database. If I do get involved in it, I will *not* have full control over it, and thus, if it were to ever go down Vile would have complete access to start it over again.

Also, keep in mind I am doing this as a completely non-classic EQ server. It'll be custom with like 8 zones tops. Will be coding a DLL similar to what P1999 has this coming weekend... probably will take a bit, but I can manage it.

I don't want this server to be a competitor to red99, though. It would be its own gameplay experience, and not exactly classic though not unbalanced as fuck.

I've added vile on aim to see about doing this, will let you guys know.

No.

I'm going to be frank here: nobody wants this custom crap where the dev puts their own spin on it like Nulls resist system or Kings and Bandits or Custom Guildwars 69. You should know this better than anyone since you tested a VZTZ copy (which people played on) and then made multiple posts questioning why that server was successful while various custom servers are not.

I could care less if it's a direct competitor. I will fund/support a red99 that is what it should be.

[fiegi 2.5]

got a semi atm

[SearyxTZ]

My last post was a little abrasive. If yall wanna do the custom thing then fucking go for it, but if you want a server that's gonna have the highest potential for getting players then you should stick to the VZTZ model.

[HarrisonStillPosting]

lol the vztz model

Being a massive joke?

I bet it would have a decent pop, a lot of us never played VZTZ but got the bug after trying EQ PVP out for the first time.

No, it's the server that was actually successful for 4+ years and had more than 100 people playing on it.


The only thing VZTZ ever lacked was the kind of anti-hack that Secrets/red99 has now. The database (item drops, npcs, etc) was mostly complete and could be filled out easily. The resist system could be adjusted easily to mirror classic better.

[samimnot]

connection problem with box = lag / drops / zone deaths / ghosting
database problems , bugs , pathing problems , garbage
8 zone server with 23 mad assholes slaying eachother over and over for nothing? Retarded

he's 100% right

if you bring back the characters saved from 2.0 or just start fresh and have everything vztz had with the anti-hack it would def be 200+ people playing easy.

[pojab]

if anyone could just open vztz + roegans anti mq shit that would be rad.

in lieu of that, vztz style xp, spell merch's etc, but start at lvl 35 and VELIOUS ONLY. and make the raids fucking impossible.

[Vile]

i had a velious box pretty much like that, but you started at lvl 40. titanuk and sniperfire beat that box. cast may have been there too.

always forgetting about big hovis bro! ill find some SS of crucify and post em haha -- gotta search my back ups!

[Darksinga]

I had a lot of fun on the kings & bandits server (creators of QvFP I believe), which had GMs who continually patched new content/created things.

Sadly, the world of custom EQ for pvp will never work long term. Sure, maybe it will last a few weeks, but people end up quitting to come back to a classic type server.

That being said, if you want some short-term fun, the perma-death server was a lot of fun and maybe you should look at something like that.

[fiegi 2.5]

me and darksinga had a healthy rivalry on dat kings and bandits

[Cwall]

vztz pls

[Wanders]

Ah the K&B memories again Singa, makes me want to consider this project but the only thing preventing it is the fact that Diablo 3 is just around the corner. Unless it flops majorly I don't see another pvp server taking off. I know there is no pvp in Diablo 3 at launch, it's not going to matter, at least not in the beginning when everyone is immersed into pve for auction house profits. Making launching a new project seem like a lost cause, for now at least.

[Truth]

this is your vztz dummies

no point in reinventing wheel even if ones a square cuz no YT

Well then stop running from every pvp engagement before you turn level 50. There was plenty of mid-level pvp while I was leveling, what's your excuse?

[Wamorn]

Have never ran from a pvp engagement. Theres just no one to pvp mid levels.

[Wamorn]

Actually thats incorrect. I gated on a necro once that jumped me when i had to go change my daughter's diaper. Came back to see my 30% life and dotted so i gated.

[Lazortag]

So you're saying pvp happened before you were level 50?

^ that



I don't think yall realize how awful shit can get.

See: the great ZoneCMD tsunami of '09 which destroyed my beach house. Also zone crashing (which I'm pretty sure both <Heresy> and <Fish Bait> were dropping on eachother at the time). It gets even worse when the players take a fight-fire-with-fire approach.



I don't see the point in driving a smalltime VZTZ now. They have made some good changes here. The exp is still shit, but everything else is in line. Splintering what is already a small population won't solve anything.
