Example: Corpse camping here legal -> fail (Yes, I did it to certain people. Doesn't mean it should exist)
Some didn't want to corpse camp people just as much as they didn't want to be corpse camped on live.
Doesn't change anything and social analytical pargraphs are a waste of time, and that flavor of troll bait is played out.
You have to account for malignant members in any community and I just don't think that level of enforcement is possible on a private server. I blame the system before I blame the players. The good news about said system, is that after the precedent is set, the shitbag community learns it lesson and less enforcement is required over time.

To me the biggest problem with Red99, which i layed out early in the servers launch, was that xp loss in pvp gave these sort of people a sharp knife to grief people with.
On rallos, that knife was a butter knife... you could corpse camp someone, but he wouldnt lose xp. I still remember that time when some ranger found my wizard's bindpoint and he proceeded to kill me over and over. I said in /say "Gonna make a sandwich, ill be back in 10mins". When i came back from my sandwich, he was still there, i didnt say anything and he kept killing me. He gave up after 5 more minutes. I was laughing. He was getting griefed, not me. Sorta.
If you dont have the thick skin to soak a bunch of corpse camps, i dont think youre cut out for EQ pvp anyway. Its just the custom added grief that was totally ridiculous.
We can all theorycraft about what went wrong, but id put my hand in the fire thats what killed alot of the servers pop, that griefers were allowed to thrive like this and put on steroids with the custom xp loss shit.
Thats why i thought a fresh start would have been good, because new people would have been allowed to dip their toes in the water and griefers would not have been given a free rein like they were in 2011-2012
Im not up to date on what was the whole purpose of the teams server thread, but i think a 3rd server splitting the pop in 2, to momentarily gain a pop that wouldnt stick around once its clear one team is winning is as bad an idea as xp loss in pvp, maybe worse. Red would lose some of its pop to the new server, which i would bet 200 bucks that it would not last for very long and by then red would be deader than dead. If there ever was such a thing as a tentative "Would you enjoy a teams server?" thing.

Ffa in confirmed faggoty. Think counter strike would have been any good if it was just FFA deathmatch. Teams > FFA. In rl and in game. If you don't believe that then you are a retard. Only time FFA is fun is an orgy

Not an argument. I havent read anyone that explained howd you balance the teams so pop wasnt allowed to spiral down the toilet because one side becomes dominant.
