R99 Discussion?
 

What did I miss? Was busy eating duck confit but would like to hear the good word...

Wipe incoming?!!!1

yes old nips pal

its a "wipe" without calling it a "wipe"

aka "old" red being merged into "new teams" red or blue after 6 months of "new teams" red launch

What will decide whether new server is merged into red or blue?

New server w/ same spell code, broken ac, and extra melee accuracy in pvp?

basically they're listening to the mass of vocal people who have no idea how pvp servers work

again

time for another shitbox

teams - item loot - no /ooc - training - no pvp range

literally worst possible ruleset

should of sold my toons while they were legal

lotta mad in this thread calling vocal people vocal, yall ran over here to get on your soapboxes super quick.

I layed it out like this. Worst possible case scenario: Blue gets some bug fixes, looses 40 pop, teams gets 200 pop and dies in 2 months, gets merged onto blue, a few people get some guises and manastones and are happy.

Best possible scenarior, teams works, with OOR healers getting flagged, and server has 300+ pop and slowly sucks up all the lost players out there. Its more blue, but more people = more pvp.

Wanna fight, play on the underdog team.

I played on RZ, TZ, VZ, and SZ, and I liked RZ, and SZ the best. SZ wasnt ideal because it was basically griefer land.

R99 staff has a chance to think outside the box with teams and item loot customizations to make a server that has lots of bluebies redding it up for all you diehards.

+ net overall gain in pop for whatever server wins out after 6 months.

and a lot of good discussion about variance and simulated patch days, sirken makin solid points.

I for one am greatful they listen.
