Who will be going from Blue99 to Red99?

Why you so mad at red brew?

And I had gone so long without hearing "you mad?"; am I on the wrong tab surfing the WoW forums on accident?

Red99 will not be a ghost town, that is a laughable, desperate assumption from someone that sounds afraid of losing members from the blue server. Classic EQ only requires 200-300 players to make the zones feel fairly populated. I would be more than happy to see those numbers in a month or two, but if Rogean and Nilbog can get a thumb on detecting mq2/seq again before release, I will assure you that it will grow higher.

I'm a 55 unguilded Necro, I couldn't care less about how many people are around. I have a bunch of friends from Live here and I can group with them when I feel like it. I'm only around here until Diablo 3 launches anyway; this is a stop-gap for me. I'm having fun exploring the rest of the game I missed the first time around.

200-300 players at prime? I think you're grasping at straws. 200-300 at prime means 50-150 non-prime. Guess how many contested spawns have spawntime variance? Your hypothetical competition is going to exist only on small camps if at all. Even then, are you really so exited over this?

This is a chance for all you blue players to experience a completely new style of EQ gameplay. Most of us are reliving the exact same experience as we did in 1999-2001, why not relive that experience you loved with a new dynamic thrown in? No more poop socking and "LOLOL WE GOT TRAK THIS WEEK" threads, instead, you faceroll the competition, get the loots, shake hands and meet again the next week for more.

Like I said above I'm pretty sure you're being delusional. The game isn't built for PvP. You can argue balance until you're blue in the face but the engine just isn't built for it. I'm sure there's niche players like yourself who enjoy it, and that's great...you're just a minority. If you're so competitive why not play something relevant? Are you planning on running around town shouting that you pwned someone in an emulation of a 12 year old game?

Why you so mad at red brew? There is well over 15 people being vocal for a red server, and countless more that don't come to this forum and/or aren't vocal about it. Obviously this is the case if Rogean and Nil. are working on a red server, don't you think? I mean, are you calling them idiots to say that they are making this server just for it to be a flop? They managed P99 just fine, what makes you think they'll fuck up R99?

Squeakiest wheel gets the grease. You guys are like the libertarian party. You make a lot of noise but you'll never get someone elected. Also, don't straw-man me, broseph. I never called Rogean or Nil idiots, nor did I say they would "fuck up R99".

Tell "this game isn't meant for PVP" to the 10,000+ players that enjoyed it on EQLive over the years. You're acting as if this hasn't been done before and succeeded.

Stating that you are mad is probably fairly accurate, because tbh, you sound more than a little spiteful towards the idea of EQ PVP in general. If you're not even going to be playing on P99 any more - what the fuck does it matter to you if Red99 is released? Why give your 2 cents when you have no intentions of playing on either server?

The shitty VZTZ server pulled over 100 players on prime time. You're making baseless claims about a ghost town population on what is being hyped as the best PVP server since live, which will be even better if they can get a handle on MQ2/SEQ detection again before release.

There will be no competition for raid targets? Really? Rofl. You can tell that to the VZTZ crew as well. They had it with just their community alone, and Red99 is sure to encompass P99 players and many others as well from places like FoH etc. I don't think you have an accurate understanding of what sort of population vanilla EQ needs to be successful. Prior to Kunark releasing on P99, the population was usually around 300-400 on average, and I can assure you, guilds were still fighting over spawns all the time. Then Kunark landed, the server hit 1000 players for a short time, and you literally had to fight for spawns in all of the popular zones. And that was with a whole other expansion added.

So again, I ask, why you so mad at red?

Pretty sure anyone who reads this thread understands you're the one who seems upset.

I almost overlooked that line. Now I KNOW you're just mad. Planning to run around enjoying PVP in a 12 year old game as compared to you running around farming pixels and xp in a 12 year old game? Your arguments are baseless and pretty lol-worthy, pal.
