I am playing there and while my initial reaction to the exp rate was to cut my dick off and/or cry into my pillow, I am enjoying it more now (lvl 7 shm god damn, watch out)




a raid rotation is pretty gay but it's also not that much different to me than train-fucking eachother for zone control.

There was very little actual PvP on that last box. And I really have nothing to prove to any of the 20-or-so career red boxers who have been here the past five years because we've all killed eachother already. How much times are Knuckle and I going to fight? We've probably done that 30+ times already. The Book of Knuckle and Searyx should be closed by now.

The NO RULES ANYTHING GOES really does take a shit on the pvp potential too. That means training replaces PvP anywhere that you can train. And it means entire guilds are running the Kringe MQ Build (tm). I had people poof/warp/instacamp on me when I was moving in for a kill several times. And if that isn't possible, we can always fall back on the old tried-and-true zoneplug. I always enjoyed BOTBs because it was so plain and simple and forced people to actually, you know, fight eachother.

Also just playing the newb lvls on P1999 makes me realize how fucking BAD the PVE code is for any of our red boxes. It is not just bad/broken/incomplete, but it's also way too easy. Spells land on everything, lull works on everything, 1-50 in eight hours, paladin in shit gear can solo the frenzied ghoul, etc.

It is no challenge and ultimately makes for a server that despite being red is actually less challenging than the blue one. That's the reality bros.

Pray for a red server using the P1999 code/db, because nothing short of that is worth the time.

Well said pal, I am done with EQ unless Red99 comes out. Not going to be pouring anymore of my time into some scrub ass pvp server, that probably won't last more than a month.
