you think this is a sign that we need a wipe or serious changes? No rogean does not see a problem with a server with a high pop of 29 at peak hours.
it went from 300+ to nothing, and there is a reason for it. I laugh at all the people still playing on this server. I wont play unless there is a complete wipe.

nope, cause there is no patch for butthurt

The elephant in the room is that at this point, more nihilum members have quit this server than holocaust/ff combined. Guess they were all griefed off of this wonderful box paradise as well? Short answer is server had great potential with the p99 code but was horribly mismanaged and ignored, and nothing to this point has changed that. I am firmly in the "kunark won't save this server camp" but it's laughable that this far in people still can't get an answer of when kunark is going to be released.

ps: no, i dont want to read the whole forum just to get a clue what happened

I will try to be non-annoying like everyone else.

In all seriousness, the server is fun to play on if you solo. I have a 44 mage, working my way up.

But as far as a good, high population server is concerned, it is probably dead. There are 3 reasons why:

1) some big flaws during startup: no guard assist (lost 1/2 population within a week of server launch), resists were messed up, huge exploit problems (redwood wands, mage sword proc rate, pathing) let certain people "level up"

2) some things got fixed (guard assist) but most were ignored so guilds continued to exploit and people got banned (for good reasons)

3) critical mass... people were leaving for blue epics, and the server was getting DDOSed, forum trolls, etc. it just became a crappy community

I still play here, but it is sorta dead.

The unfortunate thing is that everything could have been resolved by a wipe in the first month. Call it Red99 Beta 2.0

People still calling for a wipe are just as delusional as the people saying population will stabilize in triple digits for Kunark.

Basically 1), 2), and 3) caused population to plummet, however the real reason probably has to do with my first sentence "I will try to be non-annoying like everyone else." The majority here are d-bags.

Join the server though, if I see you around I can give you free stuff and maybe even plevel, send pm!

Thinking there wasn't plenty of red players who chose to play blue over all the shitboxes that called themselves "EQ" pvp server is erroneous. I played vztz for a day before realizing it was not even close rallos zek and quitting. I had never heard of p99, but I'd certainly play on blue over something that doesn't represent the spirit of EQ, while calling itself EQ.

EQ pvp was about pve as much as it was about pvp on RZ. The fact that you still don't understand this only serves as a tribute to your stupidity.

Server was a riot when it was populated, no doubts there. It's just that there's so few people bound to stay here from the get-go. We have the newbies who are testing new waters coming from blue, who all quit come more content for blue99 (epics) - or just generally got griefed off/fed up. And then we have the veterans who used to be on the top on WhateverZek and came here convinced that they'd be leading all the pvp charts, end up getting disappointed not becoming the #1 monk on server, and thus quit.

Stupidity of mage summoned swords and no guard assist played a part in all this, yes, but it wasn't all that big a deal imho. Community was a bigger problem to me; we had 95% people who want to kill&corpse camp every random joe at sight, 5% people who send a tell "y u kill me????!!!1" after dying; a complete opposite of how live pvp servers were. It's just an equation that can't work out long term.

Personally would like a wipe just because of the pure awesomeness and fun of a fresh, new server. Early beta and early red99 were just great: craziness all over, people you don't know/trust at all, making patchwork, excitement of picking up a non-tarnished weapon for 9pp off a vendor, random PK for some guy's 400silver... This gets stale fast when everyone's lvl50 rolling about Antonica lookin for some unguilded spec camper to mug.

Red died cause the so called hardcore pvpers(most of the vz/tz) wanted a cake walk server. After crying to release it and patch as they go was agreed upon by rogean, it was released. After many of the vztz crowd got beat to 50 and then owned by the people they were gona play " basketball" with, they made up every excuse in the book. No yellow text, resists are fucked and blah blah blah. Alot of these vztz people never played in without mq, showeq and everything else under the book they found out their crutch was missing. So they little by little made posts everyday saying it was dead til most people left. If you arent gona cheat who cares about a 2 month grind? This is a mmo not fuckin quake. Once kunark comes out the same people will be back, cry that they are outgeared or some other sorry excuse and quit again.

yeah i remember this and was asking myself why they didnt wipe or ban the exploiters after they fixed everything.

but thats, unfortunately, rogean politics. once he starts a server, it stays. in this case, sad to say, it was the wrong decision.

rogean or whoever runs this now, if you read this post i implore you to wipe it. this is wasted bandwith for 20 players and even worse when kunark launches with more than double the zones and maybe 40 players the first 2 weeks.

in this state the server is going nowhere, read: NOWHERE!

LOL vztz was lots of fun, but lets not kid ourselves. Vztz's population you could cut in half, so that 120 pop was really in the 60's( not much different then red99 now ). Vztz was also a joke Gm wise ( not saving shit before patches and having to do rollbacks and so on). One patch melees would two swing people, next patch mage earth pets were doing 90+ dmg a swing and were unrootable and thats pre kunark. Only thing that made that server fun was you could roll a new toon to 50 in a day or two. You could also give the necro gm in nek a pearl and get a diamond in return. REAL legit server!

Ok, try to follow:

TARGETED DEMOGRAPHIC... This means, the group of people that the Devs WANTED to play here. My sarcastic remark implied that the People Rogean and Co, built RED 99 for, was the BLUE population. (Which it clearly wasn't... or at least SHOULDN'T have been)

And IF that is who Rogean wanted to lure in... then he sure succeeded. The splinter group from Blue that now inhabits Red... consider it Blue 2.0... except by 2.0, its shittier than P1999.

50 population was because of /who all nihilum > "your request was cut short" due to a PoF raid.

Tr0llb0rn, you cannot claim that the server pop is X because of a batphone raid. The server spikes and falls between 0-50. Probably 20 or so on average. This and that stupid Oprah gif, you wonder why so many have you on ignore?

Although, the population has been climbing slightly I believe, and I have 4 days /played on a level 45 character (love being a casual), so I am glad to see flux into the server, however I would love a wipe with a non-broken server start. However, I know it would probably be the death blow to the server. Should have happened the moment Rogean got a whiff that it was released to early.

Fixing 1) guard assist, 2) resists, and 3) no wands/sword of runes/pathing exploits would have guaranteed this server to have >300 people a night.

Blue epics and VP pale in comparison to the server loss caused by the big three. All of the whiners about exp are lame as well.

I still think the best solution would be to open Red99 2.0, start over, legacy time period, and promise server merge after 4-5 months. That way Nihilum can continue farming and stockpiling a gear advantage while others can try to catch up from a non-broken server launch. Yet to hear a better idea to save the server. (/whisper YES IT NEEDS SAVING, biatch sprung an uber leak on day one) Kunark will not save server, it will help for a month or so I think! Will be a fun month, and I am looking forward to it!

It's just an equation that can't work out long term.

True stuff. Good posts.

On live, there was a system of order vs chaos. It afforded new players, as well as everyone else, to actually enjoy EQ (player progression/pve), without the "anti-pve" and "bluebie" bashing from all of the inflated egos.

EQ pvp was awesome 99-01. There was no need to manufacture reasons to pvp. It was either you chose order, and respected other players, or you chose chaos, and played the antagonist by PKing other players. Beyond that, even among the "anti-pk" guilds, quarrels over camps and mobs always took place naturally, as they do on any blue server. Those things led to diplomacy or pvp, and allowed factions to arise organically. R99 lacked that depth, unfortunately.

This server was overrun by arrogant elitist PKs who go way beyond "playing" the antagonist, to immersing themselves in that role in and out of the game (forums) to the point of douchebaggery. That was a huge turn off to many players not only from blue, but also who played on EQ live pvp servers during the classic-velious era. Though the guilty parties will offer innumerable excuses as to "whats really wrong with the server" (and still do so to this day), those reasons pale in comparison to a lack of decency among players.

I've recently proposed to Nihilum, in an effort to restore that environment and help players (especially new ones), that we declare ourselves strictly anti-pk (read bluebie by retards). In other words, in the future, we aim to help fellow players by fighting only those who've aligned themselves against us, or who choose to random PK.

Would probably make the server more interesting for everyone.

(/whisper YES IT NEEDS SAVING, biatch sprung an uber leak on day one) Kunark will not save server, it will help for a month or so I think! Will be a fun month, and I am looking forward to it!

Those things were terrible, and surely accounted for many leaving early, but of the 400-500 that existed right after launch, over 300 were still around after 2 out of 3 of those problems were fixed. Not exactly that cut and dry.

I know I wouldn't play after a wipe, but if I thought another server to be merged with the present red would work, I'd have been for it... several months ago. Theres nothing left to "farm" in the meantime. Unless theres something to compete over, you won't see any pop, or any pvp on this server. People are ready for a legit EQ pvp box with kunark, which is why the day devnoob announced Kunark their population tripled (though no one will admit it). Like I suggested when plane of fear came out, content (planes) needed to be expedited or the non-raiders would lose interest on a low pop server... and they did. Flash-forward the removal of legacy items (the last non-planar contested content - pve/pixels), half the server pop left in a matter of days.

Beyond that, the problems that took more population than bugs (in my post above) would likely still exist if the same crowd decided to leave LoZ and play on the r99 do-over server. I just don't see its plausibility, even IF (big if) we had staff present and devoted to helping R99, which we don't...

But on a serious note:

Stop with all the calls for server wipe, etc. NEVER gonna happen.

What will happen is this:

Kunark will come out in the near future. And server will stabalize im predicting at average 150 a night. I dont think people realize how many want to play but are just on break because they just have zero interest in classic after 9 months, and I dont blame them.

ez69's pop has been getting lower and lower as the days go by. Newness is wearing off fast from that shitbox. I expect at least half the active players there to come back here for Kunark too. If you count boxing, ive seen plenty of days recently where red99 has MORE on than ez69.

Kunark gonna be fun.

This doesn't make sense to me. Why do you need a private server to "catch up"? All the camps are open now, just log in and level up. Brotherhood has been pushing to recruit as many of the new people as possible as well as the folks coming back by the current interest.

We've been very open about our plans to become a guild to challenge Nihilum on PvE and it's not like they're pulling out the stops to grief us off the server like Holo used to.

Kubark is coming, people with sleeper 50's are gonna start playing again when it does. If you need to catch up, you better get your ass online now and do it.

Did I mention that Brotherhood is recruiting? You want to fight Nihilum, you want to raid shit? Then join Brotherhood.

Its a shame most others are blinded by rage and l00t starvation to see this.

Its a shame that the people who spend months bitching on the forums about how butthurt they are that they lost to Nihilum every single contested raid target for 9 months straight did not try and do something about it and join you and your band of underdogs.

Do people realize the vast majority of people who quit this server fell into four hroups groups?

1) never really intended to play here long term, the casual players from blue who dicked around here and there and when no one was left to mess around with quit. Some of these people will pop back in for a couple weeks during kunark, though possibly not since the novelty of red was not its content, which blue already has, but it's rule set. Kunark adds nothing to that.

2) those who were disgusted with the way the server was handled. Paragraphs could be written on this and already have. Kunark adds nothing for these people.

3) people who quit because the server is a one guild Zerg fest and was no longer fun to them. Again kunark adds nothing for these people

4) people who quit because of the grind. Lol at thinking the level 51-60 grind of kunark will reel them back in when they couldn't even get through 45 here.
These groups are exponentially larger than the mythical mass level 50s in hibernation waiting for kunark to emerge from their cheeto and mountain dew filled caves. The server needs a legit dialogue between Rogean and the player base where changes are made or a handing of power to nilbog. Until then it will remain a pretty boring blue sever with antiquated content.

3) people who quit because the server is a one guild Zerg fest and was no longer fun to them. Again kunark adds nothing for these people

butthurt crybabies who dreamed of being #1 and lost. They are also now on ez69 calling themselves "legends" (lol!) and doing ezmode raid targets at 4am. True, they are no match for a lean machine Nihilium in kunark anymore then they were in classic. They best stay away, wont ever be the #1 they crave to be here. (you are in this category btw!)

You compared the population to being US Daytime... yet P1999 has almost 300...

Go lick some more sack and maybe you can absorb the salt from ball sweat and the proteins can slowly form into a coherent thought.

Nihilum is the big fish in the tiny pond. Kunark aint gonna solve shit.

You really think people play on LoZ because of the Server? No, they are there because you don't need to spend 400 hours getting to 60. The people who can play SOME, can still compete and feel like they accomplished something.

Red99 is way too grind and treadmill intensive. Hot Zones. Double EXP Weekends once in a while. Yellow Text.

However, there are people on the server that really really hate having to suck up to uberguild #4,592 and are willing to fight for their piece of the server. They stay around and we're building our numbers.

nothing classic about the damage ratios in melee


nothing classic about resists


still easily rooted/stunned w/120 + mr

harm touch resisted by anything

exploits un checked, and still going on, no need to list for these bottom feeders here

AC broken

no GM pressence

No hard coded teams ( JUST TWO), doesnt exist, people just hop to whatever the current zerg is.

Everyone 40+ joined same guild = NO PVP, finding some guy in oasis after 3 hours of wondering on ur level 15 alt doesnt matter.


The list of things wrong with the server is endless

Trying to pretend that anyone succeeded or won anything here is a joke.

We all lost at a chance to have a decent pvp server, because people are stubborn, and wanted their dragon pixels and exploits over a decent server. No real imput was given to devs during the short beta that was given to us to use.

Many just found exploits to later use, when it was released.

Even now, the devs are in the dark to a lot of the existing problems because no one is honest.

root lands 1 in 10 with under 100 mr,

\/zero should land @ 130 MR, also dmg reduction on fire/ice spells is the same for every class, wasnt so on live. Some spells were very easily resisted like "ICE" for druids.
But this community not interested in any of that, so i wont go on.


ac works--------------nope-------------------zero is better than 1000ac, but thats about it. The formula esp in pvp is whacked out. PvE it doesnt even work right.

But if you think its working, good, have fun, lol. Its just a different game is all.


i can't even think of exploits that still exists worth mentioning ------

I wont mention any on red that are worth doing still, because maybe some of the idiots left playing there really dont know them.

Sullen zek on live had plenty of different guilds with "different" leaders. It just prevented 1 zerg from forming.

Tallon zek on the other hand didnt have "hard coded" teams. Teams could still heal each other and group etc. Thus, eventually ONE guild reigned above all others do the grass is greener flight.

--12's still hit for 72's , and 1 hander dmg cap still too high, so whatever son, pvp more


Small chance of root eh. Well on sullen zek, i ran around with an average of 90-120 MR, and would get rooted almost never 1% or less? Dunno what game you played.

Please quote the patch notes that explain how a functional AC system for PVP has been instituted. While your conclusory statements are very much appreciated, they are just that, conclusory, completely worthless and devoid of any factual basis. Keep living in the fantasy world where all 500+ people who quit were holocaust members or people griefed by holocaust.

I've had the fortune of making quite a few friends here, and on the flip side some internet "enemies," 99% of whom I've spoken to post red99 in a very frank and friendly manner. Many of these people were nihilum members. Do you know how many of them cited to me the lack of Kunark as the reason for their quitting this server? 1. o-n-e. Every other person listed the same reasons that have been repeated ad nauseum. They didn't like the other people in nihilum, didn't like the pve grind with no pvp, didn't like the way the server was ran, didn't like the zero pop, etc. etc.

If someone really wanted to "save" this server without wiping it, I can tell you exactly how to do it. Yellow text / ability to who all those above level 40, fix resists to make them classic (that means all spells not just root), and institute some sort of beta buff that makes people level 46. Guarantee you do that and there will be a huge amount of interest in this server. It will never ever happen, but if it did the pop would break 200.

07-31-2012, 07:26 PM
No where on these forums have I ever disputed the fact that kunark will likely provide an initial bump, perhaps a very large bump. Is it possible it could break some triple digits for a couple of weeks? Absolutely. Will these numbers stick around 2 weeks in, 4 weeks in, two months later? No. The server will experience the same drop off it always has except this time the drop will be even larger and quicker than it was in times past.

I'm hardly bitter or mad, in fact I consider myself to be one of the most constructive people on these boards in trying to brainstorm potential ideas to restore pop to this server. I want to see this server thrive again. Don't mistake my snarkness and unfortunately poor outlook on what I believe kunark will do to this server with my desire to see it grow. I want to see fundamental changes and an open dialogue with devs that can foster a long term growth in this server that could give it a sustainable pop for a long time to come. This server doesn't have that now.

At this point i would agree with y/t and ability to who those 46+. resists also need some work (mr only one functioning seni properly).

But a beta buff to 46 would be stupid. Maybe another 50% on top of the 250 it currently is but thats about it.

Wait, what generation of FUCKING RETARDED did you come from?

The MOST... MOST people Red99 had was 250 when it was FIRST released.

And Blue 1999 was at 200 because it was new, and people wanted to play on a brand new server. But over the first few weeks, when The BLUE folks realized they would get shit rolled by the douchebags that exploited to 50... they left.

Brought population to 100.

Then the fucking dumassery GM involvement (Amelinda, Rogean et al), banning Holocaust, and ignoring the RMT Factory Nihilum (after they [the hacking group, Lovely, et al] disbanded from IF and joined Nacho and his Box group), the server went to the fucking shitter. People realized it was a JOKE. A JOKE.

The sheer fact Rogean, who campaigned for a LEGIT PVP Project 1999 on the boards for a long while before it was released, being COMPLETELY FUCKING NON-EXISTANT since the Holo banning, proves he gives 0 fucks about this box. As long as he made dollaz from it, he gives 0 fucks.

This is irrefutable. He made money, he gives 0 fucks.

I don't really know what this argument is about anymore, but red99's max population was 663. Source: http://eqemulator.org/index.php?pageid=serverinfo&worldid=1678

I'd say only about 300 people had any intention of staying - most of the original 600+ were just bluebie tourists. Also a lot of people got banned, and a lot of people lost interest for various reasons that have been elucidated on time and time again.

This doesn't make sense to me. Why do you need a private server to "catch up"? All the camps are open now, just log in and level up. Brotherhood has been pushing to recruit as many of the new people as possible as well as the folks coming back by the current interest.

We've been very open about our plans to become a guild to challenge Nihilum on PvE and it's not like they're pulling out the stops to grief us off the server like Holo used to.

Kubark is coming, people with sleeper 50's are gonna start playing again when it does. If you need to catch up, you better get your ass online now and do it.

Did I mention that Brotherhood is recruiting? You want to fight Nihilum, you want to raid shit? Then join Brotherhood.

The funny thing is: I am in Brotherhood, have been for several months, and am going to continue to be in Brotherhood!

I am not advocating a server to catch up. When the server came out I was one of the first ones to hit level 10 and 20... but I had at least 8-10 or so friends who literally said they quit because of guard assist. I along with 10-15 other people quit when they saw the wand and mage sword exploiting. This is just PEOPLE I PLAYED WITH. So I quit too, waited until some patches had been implemented, some of the scum had been cleared from the server (still a healthy amount left) and then leveled up to the 40s. But now I log in maybe once a week to bang out a level... hoping, just praying that Kunark might make things better... when I know it won't.

Server was a house of cards made on a teeter totter inside of a wind tunnel... surprised it is still standing!

Still the best PvP server ever since 1999. Could have been better than Blue 99 though.

I am just advocating a second chance to build a PvP community, because no matter how you slice it, the server is a few of us (Brohood, FoH, Vae, AoG, etc.) and a couple Nihilum on at any time, maybe 20 people. Add +30 on a Nihilum raid night. THAT IS NOT A COMMUNITY. The VZ/TZ exp advocates are taking the wrong approach to "burn it down" but why not "build it up" from a health base... a fresh start. People need to start saying "relaunch" or "colaunch" of a parallel server instead of "wipe".

Opening VP is a bad idea.

« on: July 30, 2012, 01:58:34 pm »



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Too much no drop raid gear that imbalances PvP that was never common during this time period on PvP servers. PvE is super easy here too with monks and rogues doing like 400 times the damage they should in PvE. Monks quadding 150s with fists is pretty lol when they have full haste.

Alternative suggestion if opening VP is unavoidable: make it all tradeable and lootable from PvP kills.

wow what a joke, I cant decide which group bitch the most, the bitchers on red99 forums or the bitchers on ez69 forums.

Not only are they trolling from the exact opposite position on LoZ, the number of bugs I read about in just 3 pages are enough to make your head spin. I couldn't even imagine playing that shit.

Its like I've been saying for 6 months, you can't take a word they say seriously. They are so pissed that they couldn't be successful on the legit server, they are willing to do ANYTHING to validate themselves, including playing a completely broken version of EQ with nothing in common with EQ except literally the visual aspects.

Rofl, and then the fact that Daefuin makes a valid point about how ez mode VP will imbalance everything early on (VP gear didn't even exist prior to velious on RZ), and almost every other dude, INCLUDING THE DEV, troll the SHIT out of him without rebutting or refuting any point he made. cwall even more retarded there than here.

08-01-2012, 03:12 AM
Nope.

Hasn't been serious pvp since the entire server finished farming guise/rubi/manastones and then the few serious (lol) guilds were defeated over planar targets. No surprise, most of them alienated most of the server via griefing cause most players to rally against them. Rinse and repeat at the rise of FF. Until many of the first/second string Nihilum left to play D3/Tera/GW2 beta, they couldn't boast a single victory. Upon a few of those players returning, myself included, they got trampled and corpse camped for several days before quitting. Which was always a nail in the coffin when neither of the other guilds when outnumbering us were capable of killing a dragon with 3x the numbers necessary.

Well I'm one of the people posting deal with it on the LOZ forums - and I said that here too while I played, farming solb/guk was boring, pls release planes etc etc.

Don't know why I still come around here, the forums are pretty shit - server hasn't broke 50 pop that I've seen in the last couple months, and that's why I don't play.

If there's several active decent guilds pvpn I'd probably come back and latch on to one, but two guilds forced to recruit mouth breathers to compete left me needing a break.

LoZ is refreshingly fun pvp, easy pve - not nearly as serious as red99, can train who I want, guild doesnt get banned over "deal with it" attitude, why you hating Destin, can just feel the bitterness from your posts.

Amuk
08-01-2012, 04:37 AM
Plus you don't get the context of Daefuin just being a solo player, farming hoops all day and ganking retards to boost his ladder ranking - which is why he wants less content/gear advantage over someone who plays solo.

So in reality he's just trolling the gms, just like most people did here against nihilum - trolls will be trollen.

Dullah
08-01-2012, 05:30 AM
I understood that.

When the "risk vs reward" is out of balance like it is on LoZ, loot from VP on a small server that supposedly caters to pvp will only throw the entire system out of whack. There has to be meaningful progression and an opportunity over time (the factor removed from LoZ) to contest the progression of your enemies. Once people sneak off into VP, its game over.

Waste of time elaborating further.

It would accomplish nothing, and no one has provided even one legitimate argument otherwise.

Classic EQ was great... in the year 1999.

Its basically a primer, or tutorial that set the stage for the game. All the content can be completed in 3 or 4 months, faster for the hardcore and even faster without a huge population bottleneck. Then what? You have to manufacture reasons to pvp because content is cashed (yt, hot zones, ez leveling, leaderboards etc). Theres so little to compete over.

Kunark-velious are years worth of player advancement and competition. On Rallos Zek, I'd say not even 5% of the server had experienced all the content by the time Luclin was launched. We were easily 6-8 months behind blue servers because of the level of competition involved in accomplishing anything (challenging = rewarding = fun)... and don't kid yourselves RZ pop was way lower than people think. I couldn't find as many people during Kunark trolling for pvp as you find on blue on a friday night. In fairness though, live pop was always far more bottom heavy.

Destin working the wolfram style of argumentation pretty hard in this thread. (yt iz bad cuz I said it iz with multiple conclusory arguments rawrrr). The server desperately needs a relaunch to ever have hope of attracting that mass of casuals and interested blue players as well as some of the diehards that quit. They didn't quit because they lost a mmorpg which be definition cannot be won or lost regardless of what idiots on either side of the aisle think, they quit because the server lost all credibility in their eyes, the eyes of the majority of people who have ever dabbled in red and rolled a character. The reasons behind this have been mentioned repeatedly.

Look at what happened to diablo 3 at launch. Hackers botters cheaters galore. Would new content bring me back to that game? No way the entire integrity of that game has been compromised and the issue is still rampant. I might run through the new content once to see it but then I'd quit for the same reasons before. Same issue here. A relaunch would peak interest again, give the server a shot at a second first impression. Guard assist, may o the exploits fixed, faster exp, global ooc, these things can hook people when they come back but will only do so if they come back to something new that has tons of other people coming back with them that they can play with and is clean in their eyes from prior corruption and exploitation.

Or we can just launch kunark and watch a lot of new people burn out as they roll iksar monks, can't find groups, see tons of empty zones, and all quit. Dunno guess its a hard choice. Kunark without a relaunch and fixes appeals to a very finite group of people and these people are not enough to breathe fresh life into this server.

Loy averages what 80-100 now, with people dropping out by the day. Considering half are boxes you have an average of 40-50 people. So population isnt a good point to make.... I think alot of vztz people lost their mq crutch and realised they couldnt compete. So they take the loser way out and complain about every detail. Thats why you all went to play on a broken server, that you can run mq on, crash zones and so on. These are all facts and the only ones who dont agree are the losers who I speak of.

Well anybody with half a frontal lobe would know that a putting together a full group at level 8 would be pretty unlikely. Which is why I chose a race/class combination that can solo decently if need be. Even if it is a bit slower, I still get a kick out of the game.

Toehammer
08-01-2012, 08:06 PM
It is unfortunate to see the level of discussion brought to this level of retardation.

I agree that this is the best 1999 PvP emu server ever, but only because of the same reasons Blue99 is the best non-PvP emu server: lack of glitches, bugs, and as close to classic as possible.

But the server is in critical condition. People who play here (I still do) have fun. But it really just is Blue 99 with the occasional PvP encounter. It is not really a PvP server. The first week I felt like a PvP player, always doing /who, playing in 3rd person mode zoomed out so I don't get ambushed. That sort of stuff never happens now. The server is more sparsely populated than is bearable.

Nihilum seem like ok folks in game. But on the forum Trollborn, Dullah and others are dragging them down, like TMO's forum trolls. I understand you log in for a batphone and it seems like the server is thriving, because everyone on the server is in your zone. Perception is EVERYTHING. But it is a mirage, an oasis in a desert. The rest of the server is a barren wasteland. It could have fluorished from the getgo. Relaunch (not a wipe) and a merge is the only way.

I am having fun as a 45 mage, soloing in the Mad Max style post-apocalyptic low population world that is Red99... but unlike Mad Max... there are not even two factions to fight against each other. What kind of a future is that?

If any one of the Hololost or Nihilum can give me one good (non self-serving) reason why a relaunch server and merge down the road would not work, I will be quite impressed.

1 simple question for all Red 99:
Is Red99 everything you had hoped for it to be?

Probably not.

Bottom line is the server started out fantastic... lots of PvE, PvP, skirmishes, guilds, adventures... but now it is just a bunch of PvE, random gank, 5v1s, 1 large guild.

The server started out so awesome, became tainted and most of us left. Now some of us are back trying to make lemonade from some lemons. But there is still a sour taste in our mouths and the Norrath's only got so much sugar.

Relaunch and merge... only way.

completely haven't been trolled... far too smart for that. I left the server before: 1) hololost was banned 2) dragons were exploited (actually i left right after mage swords were used on first dragon) 3) server dipped below 150 pop

I have been around enough... since day one. Was one of the first ones to plow through level 1-20. I voluntarily came back AFTER holo had been banned and pop dropped low to see if it was really worth playing... and after 3 months or so of playing on a server where you could hear a pin drop... I don't think it is worth continuing. Although I am a masochist and will grind the last 5 levels.

But you are not actually talking towards any of my points, you are just saying, "i think therefore listen to me."

This server was built on shaky ground, and no matter how many patches you apply, it is still built on an unstable foundation. Why not start fresh and merge?

Also, trollborn is not a voice of logic, he is the mirror reflection of Lethdar/insert random hololost troll. He cycles on and off my ignore list.

The relaunch and merge idea came from me a while back (use search function), so I haven't been trolled by anyone. You do realize it is not just "Nihilum vs. Hololost forum trolls" right? Other people exist too...

You realize toe hammer is a player on this server right? I think he's a dwarf cleric in brotherhood but it's been a while. Nice side step btw from your fail post showing your lack of comprehension. God I'm corpse camping you pretty badly on the forums you might wanna plug.

ForumQuest: when you get PKed on forums resort to posting gifs or saying "u mad" or a variation thereof.

prolly got some sort of faggy iphone app (guaranteed iphone user) that vibrates his pants every time i post on these forums. Any hour of the day dude gets up and responds to my posts in a frothing fury.

Now he has a buddy parroting him so he's getting a little too big for his britches.

ForumQuest Rule 2: when being corpse camped on forums try to throw out as many insults as possible with the hope that something sticks and people are too distracted to see your multitude of corpses on the groud.

sup with red99 you say?

I say: Thriving....

Greetings, Citizens!

The time for Kunark PvP has arrived. The release date is slated for August 17th, 2012.

There will be an active event running which will unlock Kunark zones; a dynamic scavenger hunt. This event will begin some time on August 17th.

Depending on how quickly the necessary steps of this quest are completed will determine exactly when Kunark will become available. It is possible the event may be completed within the first night, but will likely persist until the following day. The quest npcs involved in this event will reward era-appropriate items. Regardless of your level, useful rewards are possible on turn-ins. Everyone is encouraged to participate!

There will be serverwide messages throughout the evening keeping everyone up to date on the progression of the live quest, as well as when Kunark opens. The opening of the zones will coincide with the level cap being raised to 60 as well as the ability to create Iksars. This will all happen without a server patch.

In preparation and celebration of Kunark, a 50% experience bonus will be applied a week before release and last until a week after (August 10th-24th). If you have shelved a character prior to obtaining 50, the next few weeks will be a good time to level up. If you have considered joining the PvP server, but feel late to the party, Kunark is a great chance to start a new life as an Iksar.

I hope to see the Field of Bone full of Iksars. Good luck!

dmg ratios work
root lands 1 in 10 with under 100 mr
ac works
i can't even think of exploits that still exists worth mentioning
gms respond to my board petitions usually same day
no one needs teams

your butt obviously hurts, try LoZ

Bro you must be insane.

My brothers lvl 3 ranger w an 8 dmg weapon crushed another player for 70 dmg while they were sitting. That wont happen anywhere on live with an 8 dmg weapon at lvl 3, did i mention he was a wood elf with no str gear?

I could of used a few leveling expoits, because they were in allmost 1 out of 3 zones.

If i cant get a sever second vp staff reimbursed wjhile powerleveling a group of noobs in mistmore, even after petitioning on the foruims for 3 pages, over 4 months, gms really dont care. and thats on blue, where peeps actually play.


LoZ, has its ups. It has its downs. There are target rings, saved spell lists, dual boxing. Some things to make it easier, but its not ez mode. Red99 will take more skill to excel in, but that doesnt really mean shit when u have taken 250 or more hours to level up a character to 50, only to find out that the pvp is all long gone.


And if you find a nihil, hel just scream in vent wakeup channel and before you know it theyl have 6 raid geared sloths on you ringmail weaing 46.

very sad to see this comment...

Yes... I have an opinion... no I am not heartbrand... what a dorky name anyway. (no offense heartbrand) definitely dorkier than toehammer :rolleyes:

You realize toe hammer is a player on this server right? I think he's a dwarf cleric in brotherhood but it's been a while. Nice side step btw from your fail post showing your lack of comprehension. God I'm corpse camping you pretty badly on the forums you might wanna plug.

Yo soy el Speedo Bandito... Gnome Mage, Brotherhood. Befriended some in Nihi/Holo and sworn enemy of that annoying troll sk in FoH... Chewie :mad:

Was hoping to stay /anon on forums but can't have some forum warrior calling me out!

Now he has a buddy parroting him so he's getting a little too big for his britches.

All my ideas are fresh and free of server forums drama. Shame on you.

Months of "content means nothing" and then the mere mention of kunark doubles the population in days.

Retention remains to be seen, but theres a lot of fun to be had in kunark, and much more for everyone to do.
