Default Do you guys remember how they would frequently launch new servers?

I remember it was common for my friends and I to try to re-roll on new servers so we could try to be the first high level players there (in hindsight IDEK what that would have accomplished had we succeeded).

But also I remember it was also common for entire guilds to re-roll on new servers to try and get their shot at being the top uncontested guild on the newest server etc.

I guess my point is that new servers didn't go through a phase where legacy items like Manastones and Guise of Deceiver dropped. Those were already removed from the game before the newer servers were released.

And ultimately what I'm trying to say is binding at Fire Pots was never classic.

I bet most players didn't even know what fire pots were 25 years ago, let alone that they had a very small window of opportunity to bind at them. I remember losing my body in TD after discovering that beautiful island and getting ganked by faydedar on my way out.

And getting close to the 24 hour window where my corpse would delete because I had been swimming around TD for over 20 hours looking for it. Finally got my body because a Druid friend showed up to help me and neither of us never saw the fire pots or discussed them.

INB4 someone larps that fire pots was super meta and every player despite having no maps or anything and faydedar likely being up was regularly using them in 2000.

i already regret this thread because now people are going to be like if people didnt know about fire pots then why did sony nerf them. but like, i genuinely dont think that the general public knew about them. im guessing it was a problem on a server where sony staff played and they accidentally leaked the secret to too many people.

We really need them to merge red green and blue and do a red 2.0

They need more than 12 people and two guilds to justify buying the hardware for it

That is why merge the three servers.

Update pvp code and relaunch red on recycled hardware and boom 600-800 active players again.

We just need (the 100% classic) /guildwar command to be implimented here.

If it was, we wouldn't even need Red. The PvPers could play on Blue/Green servers, and get all the benefits of being on a normal server with a healthy population ... but they could also organize themselves into PvP guilds, and war with each other to when they want to get their grief on.

It's annoying that you can't bind anywhere in the entire enormous TD zone just because of firepots. Like they are capable of designating only certain areas within a zone as bindable or not (gypsy camp in NK), so why not let people bind just on ogre island or something? You can bind anywhere you want in OOT; the other main ocean zone, so it's an immersion breaking arbitrary limitation to not be able to bind in TD.
