yeah as stated before announcement of new server resulted in a huge amount of the server immediately quitting

specifically the group who's not already 60 and geared which is the most important group for server continuance

Put it out of it's misery. End it. They seriously shot the server in the gut with their grand announcement of fixing red99, by making a new server.

I partly agree. R99 has been shot in the gut and without immediate attention it will bleed out and die. The Devs / GMs need to clarify what exactly is going on, preferably in the form of an official post advertised by the GM MOTD in game, and not chatting with individual players in TS channels. Consistent updates would also be extremely appreciated, preferably weekly, and could be structure in the form of posing topics for discussion. For example, one week the staff could ask for suggestions on teams, the next on whether or not teams should be hardcoded, followed by PvP level ranges, etc. Regardless we need to know whats going on!


All that being said, the sad thing is I don't believe that the new server will really "fix" anything.

Not to derail the thread, but I have repeatedly seen four* widely circulated reasons as to why R99 has "failed:"

1) Skewed resists and buggy PvP

2) Nihilum's domination

3) The Players

4) GM corruption / favoritism (not saying I agree, just that others have said it)

* There are others (e.g., exploits at server launch), but they are not as widely accepted.


So my question is, will anything really change with the introduction of a new server?

I know there is a new PvP Dev incoming, so #1 will likely change, but that is not dependent on the new server. Of course a new server does reset the playing field guild wise, but if Nihilum's domination is driving the development of a new server, doesn't that just make this an exercise in "guild busting?" In addition, how / why would a teams ruleset prevent Nihilum or another guild from becoming dominate on the new server?

As for reason #3, well, I think y'all know better then me who will be playing on the new box, their motivations for doing so, and how long they will stick around. Just a guess, but I foresee griefing of opposing teams (especially of players from the blue server) as a major pastime for some. This will continue until the server population crashes from a combination of toxic players and the fading of the new server smell.

Finally, reason #4; if you legitimately think GM corruption is the reason R99 is not doing well, then why would a new server run by the same people be any different?


TL;DR - IMO Devs / GMs need to step in ASAP and Teams99 will suffer the same fate as R99.

Promises of a movelog or merge to teams would re-invigorate the population methinks. Sirken, what's the position on that?

[Fame]

Real talk.
