What was wrong with K&B?

[SearyxTZ]

People don't want to play on a custom server.

This should be like the first bullet point established before one line of code is even written, but it seems to baffle lots of people anyway.


WHY ISN'T THE SMALL AUDIENCE OF PLAYERS WHO SEARCHED FOR CLASSIC EMULATED EVERQUEST INTERESTED IN MY CUSTOM HARDCORE EZEXP BOX?

It doesn't matter if it's well done. There has to be demand for what you've created.

Custom is shit, period.

If people like classic and hate custom, why do so many people cry about slow exp, no boxing, no leaderboards etc?people are going to get a reality check when it takes 6 months to get to 50.

[SearyxTZ]

what does boxing have to do with custom?


Leaderboards were on some live servers and it isn't a "custom" feature in the same vein as HAY WE QUADRUPLED XP CHANGED LOOT AROUND AND ZONES R CRAZY NOW

People will bitch about slow exp - correct. But they will keep playing anyway (and for much longer than they would if it was 99x exp).

The server was doing pretty OK until VZTZ and Red69. These are what players wanted and headed for en masse, then subsequently abandoned in the same fashion.

I'm not sure what will be totally different this time around besides stricter policing of cheaters (I admit this is a big deal) and much, much slower leveling. I personally enjoyed the idea of "points" for PvPing, getting rewards, and feeling incentivized to do something besides traintraintraintrain. I think there are a lot of people that know classic EQ to a tee and have been playing it for several years (some for close to a decade), the idea of losing some of that edge is a turn off for them.

Also smashed your faces.

I am pretty sure the longevitiy and playerbase of the server is what a lot of people are psyched about. There has not been a classic pvp server with classic xp like... ever. The fact that everybody who knows EQ pvp is probably going to try this server is also huge deal. None of that "I don't feel like leveling a character while I wait for a better server" This is going to be it. Real classic EQ pvp is going to happen with Red99 or never. Simple as that.

I am looking forward to the epic feeling of bad ass game accomplishment to come with leveling on Red99 along with "hopefully" lots of other people. There will be no max lvl in 2 days, camp every item in the game in the next week, get bored and quit with a 20 person population.
