PSA: Time to play the BOX

[SearyxTZ]

Fuck the minor gripes and whining.

http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=82574

PvP champs are doing work with hit-and-run no problem. If you're a VZTZ box legend, you should be too.

Put ur red rambo headband on, take whatever drugs/alcohol necessary to gut out the bluebie level grind, and start coining carebears. We should be salivating at the chance to disrupt so many concentrated bluebies who are running uncontested and frollicking in their pve meadows at the top of the pvp server.

I really don't care about who gets naggy with X numbers. That's the PvE-first game. Let them have all the raid shit - it doesn't matter. The only thing better than killing people who have a massive number advantage over you is killing people who have a gear advantage. These are screenshots you will treasure forever + show ur grandchildren.

+1 Seary doin the work of our lord jesis. praspras. 2little2late tho pal imo

[SearyxTZ]

it's not like this box is going anywhere.


+ more people will be willing to play during fall/winter

[SamwiseBanned]

im like the opposite, summer is my time to play but fall winter is when i party/school. I guess its because i am morbidly obese so I cant go to the beach

[Maybach 2.0]

it's not like this box is going anywhere.


+ more people will be willing to play during fall/winter

Agreed. But box didn't go anywhere either when there were 28 people on max at prime time. I'd def come back if the server felt enough like classic (feeling like there's more than 3 people on the server under 45, not being the only person in every zone) to make the grind worthwhile.

Ole red just has a sense of disparity to it lately, /ooc is the bad kind of trolling anymore. And all the people worth playing with to fight Walmart are kewlkids so unless you've put your time in already you're not going to be a priority to anyone / likely just shit on (Rushmore and Holocaust por example)

Hey guys remember this exact same post from searyx 2-3 times before?

[SearyxTZ]

get the fuck off my thread bro unless you wanna put the tears + cynicism behind and start pvp champing

[Dullah]

Sounds good searyx. Hope you can bring some people on board and raise the level of competition. I don't want to be able to farm and exp without /whoing the zone every 30 seconds.

Lets do this thing.

[SearyxTZ]

here's how I see it: either this box works and we quit complaining or quasi-trolling about how much it sucks (when in reality it has 90% of what people were crying for when we were playing on VZTZ), or we don't see another eq pvp server


because there isn't going to be another one. If LoZ was going to take off, it would have done so by now. Instead it's semi-active with a double digit population lower than this box.

We need one red server. I've never really cared which server that was, but this is the one being run by the head of the eqemu project so it goes without saying that it has a natural advantage there (getting top billing in the server select list, having the superior P1999 blue codebase, etc) whether it deserves it or not.

I like the way Devnoob operates better. He's active. He communicates. He seems to be a pvp kind of guy. But it's like voting third-party in a presidential election: it's not actually going to matter. LoZ has its own slew of issues besides that. Ideally, Devnoob would just be working on this server and find a way to merge the shit people like about LoZ over here.

[Rushmore]

"No More Excuses"

[lethdar]

Nearly every version of vztz and loz have been more on the ball when it comes to managing the server than red99. The only people who care to work on the box are held hostage to Rogean's completely lack of care when it comes to updating / working on bugs.

Resist system - still worse than vztz, live, loz, last updated 3+? months ago? Rather than anything resembling live eq we're still stuck with the HURRR ROOT/SNARE until it sticks and then zerg down strategy.

Bugs - i haven't paid much attention, but i'm going to go out on a limb and say even simple things like bond of death don't have an icon yet in pvp. Going on a year for this, something voidd / devnoob fixed in a day.

Yellow text - all polls in favor for the last 6+ months? Could have been in at kunark release if any management cared, but they don't.

Ignoring the playerbase when it comes to experience issues, putting in a hilariously bad experience bonus back when it might have mattered in retaining the population (the original 1-50 inverse xp bonus) as well as putting in a temporary one for kunark's release that serves only to highlight what an awful grind it will be for any new player to get in the game.

and so on.

But do go on with the rarara server cheer leading, it is only the 3rd or 4th time you've attempted to do this exact same thing. Unfortunately the core issues that sabotage this server's success are still unfixed and the results will be the same. Good luck! (expects a ban for this post)

[SearyxTZ]

"No More Excuses"

yea pretty much

I get why a lot of the Holo are jaded since they never should have eaten that guild ban + all the bs with Amelinda, but if Rexx is playing again they should be rolling w/ him.

[Casey II]

Hey guys remember this exact same post from searyx 2-3 times before?

Hey remember that time Lethdar sold his name and likeness to someone else in order to play on blue like a faggot?

Embarassing times bro.

[lethdar]

Oh is rexx playing? Well that changes everything! (see the above points, Rexx and yourself serving as examples of people who will quit due to the experience).

could probably get Null to fix this


The YT thing I get as frustrated as you about because of all the pointless pussyfooting and "internal discussion" about a feature that seems obvious to include, but it's also not a huge deal to me personally. I can screenshot my kills and I don't need pointers on where to find pvp in kunark since there's only like 3 zones people ever go to anyway.

If PvP broadcasts are the biggest issue of the box then there really aren't that many issues with it at this point. They put in global OOC, tweaked the resists, added guard assist, and boosted the exp. It took forever for all that stuff to go in, but it's in.

[Comapavik]

I don't get all the crying about YT. There's global OOC, and everyone spams "xxx down and coined in xxx" whenever they kill someone. Who cares what color it is? Why is that such a big deal?

[TheLieka]

Stand back bro; Searyx is either going to fix the problem or make a forum post.

[SearyxTZ]

Hi Daxum

[TheLieka]

I missed you too. :)

[SearyxTZ]

pal you should help nildog out and/or play + join pvp champs

[TheLieka]

I will probably be playing on blue with my wife a bit. I know better than to bring her into an eqemu pvp server. ;) You never know what'll happen, but I do not hold aspirations of working on staff for another eqemu server.

[SearyxTZ]

yeah that was just wishful thinking on the first one


u and Null are basically the 1992 Dream Team of eqemu pvp devs

They should allow character transfers from blue to red one time no going back once youve been tagged red.

[Dullah]

This.

I suggested this to nilbog a few months ago as the only hope of a healthy population even with Kunark. Unfortunately, I was right and though the pop is definitely up, there still needs to be more to allow the server to propagate, or it will eventually die. Its going to be hard to entice a lot of EQers to join a server with only 100 or so online.

+1 to naked level 50 blue to red character transfers. Will provide a lot more people to level up with. I know a ton of people would do this.

[lethdar]

Do you really want to get into the argument of which server has more glaring bugs?

Sure thing, what is more glaring (I'll assume you're contrasting red99 with vztz or loz)

1) bugs which have gone unfixed for nearly a year since they've been reported and bumped multiple times

vs

2) servers with staff who are actively trying to improve their code, as evidenced by bugs being reported / fixed in a timely manner, playerbase concerns being addressed, etc, and so on.

Let's play a game that doesn't involve resting on one's laurels. Take blue99's code and imagine active staff / developers starting their version of red99 using it. Do you think these bugs would still be in? Do you think there would have been this much nonsense going on with resists?

Would we see such sad hostage situations such as are occurring now where Nilbog tells the server hes pro yellow text but can't do anything without Rogean logging off starwars?

Blue 99 might have once been pretty good with server upkeep and updates but that certainly didn't transfer over to red's side. I don't believe you can honestly look at LoZ's update logs and say they've put in less work since its release versus the few patches we've had on red, most of which involved simply toggling a few variables in the code.

I'm playing the server that is better NOW not 3 years from now.

Guess which one that is?

[runlvlzero]

^^

[Smedy]

Personally Red99 is the most flawless server i've played on coming from the PVE experience, everything seems to work correct (thanks p99 blue beta i guess) but sure there needs to be some tuning to PVP.

I just don't got the time to roll up on another box that's just gonna end up in flames tho, if there's one thing Rogean has it's hosting capacity, and his shit is rarely EVER down.

I for one appreciate that, i feel like i can play now, and i can play in 2 years from now, shit's gonna be up.

The only big complaint i have about the server is the experience rate, it's filtering out to many potential players at this rate, i would hope they could increase the experience between 1-50 by like 500% tbh so normal joes could get 50 withtin a week then start the slow grind of 51-60 but atleast then they can join guilds, raid planes do some pvp, you know... the shit we all came here for.

Only downside to fast exp is "flavor of the month" but considering gear is pretty hard to come by and most good stuff is no drop it doesn't really matter.

[runlvlzero]

Smedy speaking some good gospel!

[Barladore]

Smedy is on point. My 35 pally is on the shelf because the thought of leveling to 50 alone is too daunting. I could probably level a caster to 50 in less time than the pally but I wont, because exp still isnt good enough. I'll have more fun on LoZ (even with the dwindling population) because at least there I can get shit done and find what little pvp there is left. Here I'm in a world all alone, medding to full for half a blue while listening to everyone else have all my unattainable fun.

[SearyxTZ]

been sayin this forever but yeah just need to boost 1-40 grind and/or have one hotzone to put the 20 lowbie players on the server (if that) in the same zone so it sorta resembles classic



that said the rate isnt THAT bad early. I have 12 hours played and i'm level 24 atm. GlobalOOCquest makes it slightly more entertaining. There's currently some neckbeard complaining that the pvp champ gloinz didn't wait for him to finish a mob before attacking

can confirm noble barladore my wizard got to 50 before reaching the /played my paladin has

hope they boost the xp so you can play and slay some girlymen brosky

[aborted]

If everyone could get a character from 1 - 50 in a week, there would be alot more random groups and more random pvp going on in EQ, it might feel a bit more like back in the days of Live.

[SearyxTZ]

I will give u stuff since I like that sig

[Cwall]

xantille died to mobs after defeating heartbrand in a 1v1 and then zoned into solb to kill several other people

guarantee you he does not give a fuck about his character or this server

[Dullah]

confirmed false. heartbrand would never fight someone 1v1 unless it was with gate pot on hotbar or within 10 feet of a zone line.

[Swampfeet]

Xantille spammed faggot in /ooc attempted to train and was dirtnapped

[Casey II]

Holo so fucking butt-hurt. Never in my life have I seen so much angry butt-hurt.

"I'm mad at rogean dawg, time to throw away this character in protest"

Oh fuck you showed him! You showed him so hard!

You would think Rogean attacked these *****'s kids in the park or something, the way they are still reacting. Get the fuck over yourselves.

If they react this badly from a fucking video game, they are probably throwing themselves off bridges over women.

[heartbrand]

Xantille got owned by checkraises bow and arrow and resorted to training where he was quickly rooted and dirtnapped. He should have left the training to bog titanuk.

I'm playing the box.


Time spent leveling isn't as bad as it was.

13 hours played, almost level 26. Gonna level up and start coining Nihilum while you guys are still being jaded and bitter.


quit being babies + merchantquest some decent twink gear + hit me up (if I like you) and I'll do a druid PL group in unrest to get people from 1-20 in a few hours

[Not_Kazowi]

may log in later, sup daxum good to see you around still. make another box please

Please stay on LoZ with the 10 other people playing there lol.

3 box Trakanon there latly?


You do realize you cannot recharge wooly nets,etc right? On the other hand anytime I go to LoZ forums all I see is page after page of tears on how darwoth hoop'ed down his latest victim and out-or-pvp-range training in plane of Fear.

I guess thats why that server is down to 25ish (cut that by 1/3rd to account for the box armies and you have Kringe playing with about 9 friends lawl, alone..forever alone).

[heartbrand]

I made crystalblue char on my account so I'm a bit confused?

[CrystalBlue]

Kringe: now spends all his time on loz forums crying why devnoob wont "interact" with the player(s) (that S is a stretch these days now, could be just one player boxing his personal army).

Maybe one day Kringe you will find a server whos dev sits in game all day everyday "interacting" with you.

we just gotta wait until epics are released on the server, THEN the players will come back

Kubark will bring people back!
But it didnt.

Epics will bring people back!
but it wont.

EXP Increase will bring people back!
But it didn't.

Yellow Text and Hot Zones will bring people back
but lets not try that.

82, early in the A.M. box is thriving

[Dullah]

Pretty sure kunark pop was 5x higher until the exact day guild wars 2 came out. 120 online every night, next day with GW2, pop was 70. I'm sure it was just a coincidence though.
