We are transitioning to a new season!

We will continue to monitor kills until the new season has arrived.

Visit http://www.r99pvp.com/seasonone/ to see Season 1 Scoring

I rushed to PvP Server Chat expecting thirteen pages of infantile commentary but it appears that I am

FIRST #1

So. The board will be wiped clean. Copy/Paste your stats now folks so you can refer back to the glory days of your characters when you get ganked in the future and need to save some face on ForumQuest.

The data from previous seasons will always be available on the site - as we make way for the new season to begin, the Season 1 data has simply been moved to its new home - http://www.r99pvp.com/seasonone/

The new season will be a bit different! I'm excited. We're going to give players the choice of whether or not to be involved with the scoring aspect of the leaderboard. This will help ameliorate the problems with noobs in rags being farmed for points. I imagine the so-called PvPers who don't opt into the scoring will be flamed pretty hard =) Also we're going to be weighting the scoring by level, for those who choose to opt in, to a very serious degree. I'm hoping this will provide better balance to the scoring, and will give people not only the opportunity but also some encouragement to level up to max level and then get involved with the scoring.

Season 1 link doesn't work.

Whoops, fatfingered it =) should be good now

ever given any thought to point adjustments if you force, or are forced to call, a lns?

That would be something more for a leaderboard integrated on the server. It would be cool to award a bonus for PvP that leads to like a VS or a PD kill or whatever, too.

Jeremy pal is working off a log file for this and player submitted data

Only so much you can do with that but this sounds perfect to me

I feel like this new leaderboard will be great with 1% of holo opting in.

This is good news all around. Good work too on all you do for the Red community.

Looking forward to what you come up with. The Leaderboard is such a cool adjunct to the whole PvP experience of the server. I know this kind of thing doesn't materialize out of thin air.

Thank you for having the technical knowledge and setting aside the time to do this!
