Whats this yellow-text bullshit people keep talking about?
The main pvp server that eqemu has seen was called vztz and one feature that was created was anytime a person got killed in pvp it would broadcast server wide a message in yellow text saying who died and by who.

Pros and cons to it.

Cons are few people can get too much of a kick out of yellow text and will do anything possible to get it. On the flip side other people will try do anything possible to avoid it. It creates a Cat and mouse scenario.

Pros are its awesome to see epic fights happen through the yellow text even if you are not involved. You could be a lvl 20 in HK killing goblins and all of a sudden see two guild fight over a dragon and can usually get a good picture of whos winning/won. Its also nice when a big name gets killed and takes some wind out of their sail.

If server was going to be the size of a live server during classic-velious i wouldnt see a big desire for it but since server w,ont be anywhere near live size and odds are wont reach even close to p99 yellow text kind of makes the players more involved even if they arent directly involved
