Server Won't Change By Itself

People don't mind joining an underdog to build and contest but when your charter is we don't want to contest you probably aren't going to attract anyone

Hey pals lets completely recode a game because we lost.

There is 0 way to fix EQ to be "fair", there will always be a way to gain an unfair advantage over your opponents and leverage it to stay on top.

You would recode the game because classic Everquest FFA leads to PVE progression with 1 guild based off waiting in line and raid attendance.

And that's lame.

i don't understand the obsession with changing a game that's clearly designed a certain way

why not just go play another game that is actually designed around PvP or whatever these people are looking for

I think the way each PVP server played out differently and this is why I wasn't a fan of Rallos Zek.

Has nothing to do with EQ as a game.

I dunno I'm not hating Empire for doing the proper thing on Red99 just that it's a shitty box IMO obv others will like this style if that's your thing.

item loot (remove no drop) is literally the only way to balance things out.

Sub-uber guilds will have to PvP their way into better gear; uber guilds will have to raid their way into better gear. Those unorganized or unwilling to use teamwork will see their 'precious' slowly stripped away.

If all the people who msged me bout playing casually after retiring for a bit would actually just want to play one day a week and throw down, even that would be enough for great fights for CS friends and empire.

All it takes is a lil bit of a shakeup boys.

One of two things really need to happen:

A) A large guild gets bored with blue (I don't know how they aren't already?) and comes over here to do a better job the TMO and building and competing.

B) The devs make the content that I just spoke about doable with 40 and limit guild sizes. This option may not work as you could just bring two guilds to do shit, but MAYBE they would fight and pvp when not raiding.

With option A I know for a fact that the Empire leadership would help them get started. Some of the members would look at them as easy prey and grief them, but if they have the balls to do it, Empire would help them get started.

nope

you're wrong tho. the last time that happened, when tmo came to red, empire actually helped them out a lot at first. players like jeremy etc joining and powerleveling characters and teaching players p99's pvp mechanics, pretty sure empire just outright gave tiggles stuff like myro bp's and fungis for free etc. it wasn't until members of their leadership started posting things like "we will crush empire 1 month into velious" while the majority of the guild was still in the bear pits, that things changed.

people like to rewrite history tho and a lot of people in both empire and tmo probably aren't aware of how much empire helped tmo red in its infancy.

[Buhbuh]

yes

i'm painfully unaware of what happened in that period of time

could you please go into more detail
