August 17th Kunark

[Rushmore]

http://www.project1999.org/index.php

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! ------Nilbog

[Tr0llb0rn]

wow Rushmore beat me to it... seems ALOT of people are waiting and lurking to start back up again on...

the ONLY legit red classic EQ server this world will ever see

And now, with more Kubark.

See you all in the Field of Bones :)

(Heartbrand, I insist you and Phantomrogue take this in stride and call your anger management therapists ASAP to schedule a group session)

[Lazortag]

Any non-nihilum wanna get together for the first Faydedar kill once Kunark launches?

Also I highly suggest all you casters get bound in TD before it gets nerfed.

[Znif]

scavenger hunt eh? so its possible to prevent kubark from happening if one were to make sure these quests are not completed? very interesting proposal indeed :D

[Ticklemered]

Already making plans to take the 17th off.

lmfao Znif

[Rushmore]

my bad title should have been August 17th Kubark

[Nirgon]

Gentlemen, start your Rascals

I went out and bought a months supply of economy size poop socks, cheezits, and mountain dew. Let the games begin.

[Amesplayerofgames]

Add in yellow text and leave the XP increase in permanently.

I personally know at least ten people including myself that would play again if those two things were in the game.

I think we should atleast leave exp bonus in until it looks like pop has stabilized ...wouldn't hurt to try to do it big as possible for kunark release

[Vile]

Nice bros.

[Dullah]

I don't think trivializing 50-60 would be wise. Its only going to cheapen the experience and decrease the longevity of the server.

Might be helpful to help some new guys catch up for a month or so.

[Tr0llb0rn]

Just did some testing with them yesterday, they look pretty good and balanced.

Kunark inc., gonna be fun

I Agree with this but could leave the scaling xp bonus in for 1-50 and have normal pvp xp rate on 50+

[Dullah]

I do agree, resists should be classic. I think its sad to see a custom system allowed when the classic system already had the right balance.

That said, most of the people bringing it up don't have enough recent experience to even comment. I resist roots/snares almost almost always with 100 mr, and most CC spells are fairly easy to resist as well.

The cold/fire etc isn't better than classic, but its a long way from horrible. If they'd basically take the system and add more randomness to resists instead of the static resists at 130+, it would almost be perfect.

Either way, it isnt as bad as its made out to be.

Thats basically what I'm saying. I don't care to have exp ez-mode 50-60. I want to have fun grinding up and reacquainting myself with kunark.

[Znif]

i was getting whirled fairly easy at 82 mr when lumine pushed my shit in the other day

[Dullah]

82 mr -30 from tash?

[Znif]

115 mr -33 from tash

[Tr0llb0rn]

115 mr -33 from tash

Need to keep cure poison on your spell gems when fighting enchanters and you would not of had a problem:

It is literally impossible to get whirled with 120MR, its something like 103% chance of being resisted.

and knowing is half the battle

[Dullah]

Whirl really shouldn't ever land at 80. It should have a higher check than any other stuns or mez because of the power of the spell. Think Null said thats how he did it, but unless you were totally lucky, its still landing.

[Rushmore]

Football Season Close Chuck!

[Zereh]

Ooooh! Does the release of Kunark mean we will actually get the ability to /duck out of spells??

[Gongshow]

Yawn.

[Tr0llb0rn]

look at all these lurkers comming out of the woodwork

I guess duo boxing all of Veeshans Peak got old after the 49th tranq staff got duped!

[heartbrand]

Gongshow does not nor ever has played on LoZ. Facts don't seem to suit you too well.

[Rushmore]

Pop Music has never been better! Fantasy Football soon! Red99 Revival! And America's collapse near! Pras!

[SamwiseBanned]

Yawn.

i knew i would see you again. ready to reclaim alpha monk? Trors monk needs a beating, come back.

[heartbrand]

I'll speak for the prophet on this one. Being retired does not take away your alpha status. Jordan is still the goat and he has been out of the league for ten years.

[Smedy]

a+ kunark, i'm coming back as an iksar monk, better plvl me bitches, don't playa hate

[Sektor]

Pass.

[mourning]

WHERE do i level to get 50!!!!!! Oh Shit Dude im only 42 I HAve a SmaLL BraiN!!!!

[notCwall]

band-aid on a gun shot wound

(someone quote this pls before it gets deleted for the 3rd time for no apparent reason)

[SamwiseBanned]

hurt on my butt

[Tr0llb0rn]

Im Furious! that people are gonna have fun and thrive on the server I failed on!!! argggggg

[Tr0llb0rn]

Pass.

Might want to rethink this, its just gonna be you and about 8 dupers and hackers on your other server.

People were just wasteing time on a time waster till kubark hit the legit server, and now its here.

[Dullah]

Are people from LoZ really talking the smack about R99? Any patch on LoZ is like offering bandaids to those in Hiroshima in 1945. Somehow I don't think it will bind the molecules in their atomic shadow back together.

You can smell and sense the desperate panic in the air over on their forums. SEVERAL threads to the effect "DONT go back to p99!!! please!" etc.

Its very funny. How could they have deluded themselves into thinking that was anything BUT a temporary extended game of couterstrike with elves: the hacking edition.

[Nirgon]

Item loot

[Rushmore]

Item loot

Trolling doesn't work here.

[Nirgon]

Not trolling, you worthless faggot

[Tr0llb0rn]

Item loot

Some people trolling for this fit into both categories ^^

only people who want item loot are people who dont play and wizards.


Give them silver, they want gold. Give them the moon, they want the solar system. Why can't people be satisfied with this already remarkable server?

So perplexing

/sigh

[karsten]

i'll be back to roll with my euro pals, huhu arf

[Rushmore]

Not trolling, you worthless faggot

Crying doesn't work here either. :(

[notCwall]

you worthless faggot

:)

[Tr0llb0rn]

:)

why so mad at one of your own? He was in a position, on the inside, to see things 100 percent how they really were. Don't be mad, he was not "betraying" you, he was trying to help you.

[notCwall]

rushmore seemed like a decent guy from the few times that i was in vent with him, but it seems now, after seeing him post on these forums, that he's actually just a retarded faggot

[Graahle]

Last time I checked this wasn't RnF.

LoZ was aight. If your idea of fun is getting everything EZ and just porting around PvPing.. extremely trivialized PvE encounters. People fled there because of lack of content on Red99, no doubt about it. I have a feeling when the smoke clears and Kunark is patched on Red99 w/ some PvP oriented content (YT) or at the very least Leaderboards that people will migrate back and that the only ones left on that server will be some ex-FF and whatever iteration of that Holo crew.

Last few nights Red99 has already eclipsed the LoZ boxed population so I can only imagine what it will be like when Kunark is actually live. I just hope changes to the server are actually done beyond content otherwise it will suffer the same fate within 3 months.

[Dullah]

A few of those additional things will help, but they are mostly fluff. Interaction on the forums like we've had this week and the knowledge that things are in the works is greatest importance, imo. If we could get classic resists, we'd be golden.

I don't know that the content would only last 3 months, as theres much more to be accomplished all around. Theres twice as much to do in kunark, and most of it isn't even raid stuff. Not to mention the classic stuff that newer players will still have to occupy themselves.

[SamwiseBanned]

one cool thing people may not be realizing is half of the population at times are brand new players. imagine if holo/ff came back. would at least be 3 to 4 guilds once again. you guys want a pvp box, make it happen and log in. people overlook some major changes, global ooc is really wha brought me back, made eq feel social again, now we have decent xp and nilbog has been pretty active considering hes developing velious for release on blue and kunark for us at the same time. also a server GM has changed so those who had problems with the former should reconsider.

[JenJen]

seems fun to me as a new arrival from blue even if gobbles bullies me bad >.<

doubt those clowns come back,, they dont want to see red99 succeed,, hence the posts on eqpvp in regards to not coming back here,,.. their ego won't let them unless they completely reroll,, and we all know how great they are at grinding

but they're VP KEYD on their 25pop boxed server !!

[heartbrand]

LoZ was a lot of fun for PVP, pve not so much. That being said I still think 2 boxing would make this server so much better. More people would create alts, easier to start groups, no waiting around forever for a healer or tank, it woul allow smaller guilds the ability to raid and decrease the incentive to Zerg, item transfers, and much more.

[hijinks]

There are legit points from both sides on this boxing issue-- I just don't see them allowing it but think the benefit would outweigh the negative result. After my stint on LoZ, it will be hard to adjust to the no box lyfe and having to wait around for ports and the like..

Put in simple terms.. no boxing adds to the grind of the game... they need to compensate for this...

Really I'd like to see rotating Hotzones like LOZ, once a month xp bonus weekends, something......... if they think they can just throw Kunark out there and keep the grind the way it is... I have my doubts..

[Nirgon]

Do not allow. Someone can always fully cleric buff themself = stupid.

[Rushmore]

rushmore seemed like a decent guy from the few times that i was in vent with him, but it seems now, after seeing him post on these forums, that he's actually just a retarded faggot

Would you like me better if I constantly called people faggots on the forums?

[Znif]

fagmore!

[Dullah]

I see both arguements, Hijinx/Nirgon.

Its true, you can always be buffed, but its really easy to kill people boxing. Esp if you have two people. Also, thats what dispel is for. On blue, even if there population wasn't quite so high, I can see why they wouldn't want boxing. On a pvp server, pvp is moderation enough.

[SamwiseBanned]

char transfer from blue, boxing, item loot

3 bad ideas

quote the raven, never more

[Znif]

boxing gooooooood

[SamwiseBanned]

i wont be forced into boxing in order to compete with someone who is.
