If Azrael was to leave

But yeah. The numbers were even, two straight weeks. For whatever reason you guys took two horrible strategic approaches to the KC battles and got destroyed because of it. The first time you setup shop in the back right corner where our superior caster force could pick people off easily running on the ledge. I blew 8 pumices and 80% of my mana bar on dispels before I even got attacked by anyone in the faction castle, and I just gently floated to freedom running off the top of the castle.

The second time you made it even easier by taking it to the left courtyard, up into the ramparts which gave even greater advantage to our superior ranged artillery. The congestion of a 50v50 battle in a small area gave huge advantage to range DPS classes that did not require navigating through hordes of people to damage their target. We were also able to put our clerics (which we had at least twice as many of) strategically hidden in any number of areas, including right outside the castle under the water, and still hit 80% of our raidforce with heals.

Bad strategy, bad results.

And then you all gave up instead of trying again.

And the server got boring.

The end.

Is there video of this famous Yeti caves fiasco or does it solely live on through the lost and forgotten threads of forum quest?

Best times I had were when you guys were fighting us. We lost for 2 months and Azrael had no issues logging in. We beat Azrael in the player vs player combat with even numbers 2 straight weeks and you guys fucking disappear. You guys made this an uncontested server, not us. Maybe some Nihilum are happy about it but I'm sure as hell not.

Sorry to break it to you, but at least 10 azrael hardcore pvpers stopped logging in after 2-3 weeks of blowing you guys out on respawn day.

So this whole, "azrael had no problem logging in during xxxx" is rendered moot. I briefly tried to come back after the duke's return, but I just honestly can't play an eq server without being able to box anymore.

Travel times are too OP.

This is what I don't get. Why do people go through 2 years of leveling and gearing up, have success for 2 weeks and then just quit. Why wouldn't they just keep logging in and winning? If they hate EQ that much why did they put in so much time and effort to hit 60 and gear up? Did they just like the PvE?

I'm not trying to say they quit because they were losing but what a big let down. The server was a lot better for that very very brief period where big guild vs guild was happening.

Personally the fight i had the most fun with in all my 3 years of playing red was that big duke out at the TT gate where it was something like 45 vs 45 az vs nihi

Funny how you wouldn't let us use the "apps in rags" excuse when you were winning.

Tough shit. You lost with even numbers. Don't give 2 flying fucks who showed up you got destroyed.

No you have it completely backwards, we hated the pve. Otherwise we would have kept logging in for uncontested pixels. Fact of the matter is there was no pvp on the server, so what reason is there for us to log in?

Skirmish pvp on that server is non existent due to a) lack of targets, b) fear of YT and sitting near zone lines, c) huge server, small population. Outside of respawn days finding people to kill who aren't going to instantly gate as soon as you enter the zone or plug as soon as you find them is near impossible.

Point in fact, red99 is only red for 1 day a week, and 50v50 pvp in those zones with the current gear level is not fun.

The project99 staff shot themselves in the foot by not allowing boxing, could easily have at least 600 pop on the red server during prime time if it was allowed. Would make pvp much easier to find and non-respawn days somewhat bearable.

Big talk from a non factor

Well CoM always has groups in it for level 40-50 pvp and KC usually has groups with 50-60 players. You can pretty much hit those spots anytime for PvP. If you had a small crew you could hit one of those spots, kill a few and then leave before a zerg came for you.

You will always have to deal with gating and plugging on any EQ server though.
