Patch looks decent.... but.....no flame.

[EQtrader]

Patch looks decent, global ooc is going to help out a lot. The thing is though, servers population is going down not because of hate or sol ro being released. Exp and resist system is what is hurting the population and also the population itself.

I have been trading from blue to red and red to blue and I come across plenty of new people on red. Also have been playing higher end of red also before all this.

Ive learned that, people on red the newbies are always more in a trial period then anything. They are just curious about PvP. 80% of them come from blue and are bored with blue and are interested in doing something different. EXP is what should of been curved for this patch. Lets face it most of us are in our 20's and played EQ live in this current state when we were younger and had nothing to do but go to school. Could play EQ all the time. We are all older now and have familys and kids and just here to have some fun. The server is lacking a big problem, its boring. I myself, like to play a melee class. This is not going to happen because I may find a whole two groups going strong at night for a couple hours on the whole server. Thats if no PvP happens and I make it across the world. Very doubtful. Unless I have no life its not going to happen. EXP is a must because we are here to PvP as PvP is the most fun thing going for EQ Red server.



Just think about it.

Oh yea, what means more the to servers health? The newbies wanting to start up or the high end players thinking that the server is dead because of hate/solro.

This patch will do nothing for the population after a week. Global ooc might bring some peeps in but thats just to troll a bit and log off.

Just think about it.

Resist are all kinds of fed up. But im done typing f that you know why he knows why, we all know why.

This patch will do nothing for the population after a week. .


pop has been around what latly? 60 or 70 maybe? I guarantee you it will average 120+ for a few weeks now.

Content is King. Live it, Learn it, Love it.


all those "newbies" still have 50+ different zones to play in, and temple of sol Ro quests to do now too, they are fine. It is the level 50's all leaveing because there has been nothing to do for weeks now. They will all be back now that there is a new zone to raid.

Server pop doent lie, we shall see this week.

[heartbrand]

Yup sixty newbs have been on the sidelines waiting for the chance to farm plane of hate.

[bigeasy]

if i was a level 50 without a character in nihilum i would probably get bored real quick those,, type of players have been farming manastones nonstop now that thats taken away we may actually see a drop in pop with the legacy item removals,, what or what will the lamorts of the r99 world do now

[heartbrand]

Just a side note. You're going to see tons of posts tonight about how the pop is sitting around 120 and therefore the patch saved the day. DO NOT BE FOOLED NEW COMERS. This server ALWAYS hits 100+ when raid mobs are up because nihilum dials the bat phone and has about ~50 members online. This will be even more true tonight when they bring the bored nihilum members back for Hate. Can't wait to see 60 nihilum members in hate.

Server has a active pop of 120 you say?

Highest red EMU ever, sounds great. Doomsayers please GTFO, the rest of us trying to enjoy classic red99.

why dont you pick a side dude, you spend all your time making posts about what needs to be done to "save the server". then the day they implement some of your positive changes, you make a post telling newcomers to not be fooled.

[HappyTr33z]

This is not a PvP fun server. It is emulating the classic monotonous hell of a grind with PvP turned on.

[heartbrand]

Listen, I can't fault Rogean for patching. Thank you. But if you're asking me what is going to "save' the server, aka bring NEW players in not bored nihilum PVEers from blue, or the hardcore PVPers who all quit, it's not Plane of Hate and Sol Ro Temple. It was resist fixes which pissed off all the hardcore PVPers because skill is negated when you can be rooted with 300 MR, and EXP rates / hybrid penalty which kills groups and new comers.

[EQtrader]

Thats why its failing. EQ classic was horrible. You play video games to have fun, last time I checked Everquest was a game not life. Seems like your immersion level is high, go outside more.

Server needs faster XP and a resist system fixed for melees to thrive. Get real.

Then why are you on EQ classic? The server has CLASSIC splattered all over it, you act as if you were tricked into coming here or something.

I have fun on video games I can play over a long period of time and have something to work towards, that's why I came here. You want to play for 20 minutes and get something for it, that's awesome, but this isn't where to do it.

Casuals have robbed hardcore gamers time and time again in the modern day market, I'm fine with that. Have your stupid Diablo 3 and your Modern Warfare 10290492. Leave my games alone, if I want to poopsock for the rest of my life in my mothers basement living on ramen, or whatever insult you were about to use, it's my business and my business only.

[EQtrader]

I can name about 20 things right now, that are not classic. Yes it has a classic feel, and thats all great. If verant left classic to just classic and not fixed anything at all to get more players playing there then EQ would not of been a hit like it was, It would of died down like P99 is.

Something to work towards? lets be real here for two minutes.

This is a EMU server. God forbid something happens to rogean, server is done. If it crashes or he just pulls the plug, its done. This isnt live, its now a days, people are older, but a strong fan of the everquest game. Lets have some fun, since p99 can do whatever the hell they want. Make IT FUN and population will come back. Im not talking macroquest and instant 50 but this current system needs to be tweaked big time, rules in a pvp server are way different for a reason. good luck poopsocking in your moms basement for a emu account.

[mendan]

Can't wait to see 60 nihilum members in hate.

dont be fooled newcomers, heartbrand will never see hate...

[Mornin3.0]

us pve'rs dont even know how to get into hate.

only the elite of the everquest world will ever see plane of hate LOL

Its been around 40-50 past 3 days.

47 even after patch, you server is fine trolls are seriously hilarious.

[Vohl]

The patch plays terribly. It does to PvE what a baby does to a diaper.

[Gongshow]

No mention of resist fixes? Ouch. At least mobs flee faster though, that was a real PVP gamebreaker.

What?

RIP.

[jdklaw]

omg we got something we wanted now im gonna cry about something else ooo my life

[Kaino]

Yup still getting first cast snared/rooted at 95 MR.

At least now mobs run away at full speed at 25% hp making leveling harder (specifically for melees).

Yup harder leveling for melees and no resist fixes exactly what server needed. Glad I hung in there 3 months for this patch.

Yeah it's not 100% classic, because they are taking a buggy ass blank slate of a server and trying to make it close to classic, it's never going to be classic again but this is as close as it gets and I would like it to stay that way.

Now you're saying since it's a private server it's not worth anything, because it will all be over one day? That's true of every single game that is out right now. With that mind set, what is the point of playing any game? It's all just pixels that will be deleted eventually, no matter which game it is, emu or not. The point is you play cause you want to have fun, I like to be able to put some time into my games and actually continually see progress. Instead of going to the same 10 maps shooting at terrorists to get the same gun that has been on FPS games since 2000. The former, for me, is fun. The latter, (from what I am gathering) seems to be fun to you. There are EZ servers made for the exact reasons you post. There are classic emus made for the reasons I post, why do you have to have the whole gaming world under the reign of the "casual-everyone-gets-a-trophy" empire that plagues gaming today? Can't there be any bastions for hardcore players?

[Kaino]

Happy it's easy to be optimistic when your a level 14 paladin that can solo somewhat effectively and has a huge exp bonus.

Wait till your 34 cannot solo, and there is not a single person to group with.

After many hours if not a day or two of waiting a solo class may duo with you for a bit, realize they get better exp alone and BAM back to waiting.

Get over 30 and maybe people will even acknowledge your posts.

[HappyTr33z]

Get over 30 and maybe people will even acknowledge your posts.
Yet here you are, acknowledging my post. At little ol' level 14, I declare I'm quite flattered.

There you go, tbh I don't value anyone's posts on here. I wouldn't expect anything less than that back. But it is fun to squabble, isn't it?

[Kaino]

More fun then LFG confirmed.

[Zigfreed]

My word but some of you are totally pathetic in your endless whining.

[Slave]

Legacy items nerfed before getting the population up = fail. Red will never recover now.

LOL yea right dude such a troll pressing a, clicking a spell and killing a mob that gives u less then a half of a percent is not enjoyable. I think the 550+ that quit agree with me.

Agreed 100%

Hate the not-classic resists, but it is what it is. You get rooted here, earth pet procs land, etc. Dispel/root have an obscene prominence in pvp that makes it a lot less fun and a lot less like the pvp we remember. It also worsened class balance.

Global OOC is unequivocally a good change for the server though. I will be curious to see if that boosts the population and maybe consider logging in again.

I dont see it being enough at this stage. Server would need serious turmoil to be worth playing anymore.

And there is almost 100% chance R99 will be completely ignored for another 6+ months.

Bull. It wasn't the resist problems that alienated new players. It was the lack of guard assist and the constant ganks by so-called "hardcore PvP'ers" that wouldn't even let them bank. They realized that wasn't what they wanted and left.
