Zone wide YT is a good compromise, pals. Lets you keep up w/ how your side is doing in a mass PvP fight w/o having to listen to people cry in vent etc.

Also, puts fervent anti-PKers on alert that someone's about to take their spell $.

There was a kill log on SZ. That is classic... it just leads to more dumb shit on the forums. At least there is a more accurate account than who remembered to press print screen on the YT when it comes to the bickering.

It's hard to believe how much whining and complaining goes across these boards. This is not VZTZ or RZ. This is P99. Don't like it? GFTO.

Keep red99 classic.

Was there any further info from the gods about maybe implementing YT that declared when larger "battles" were happening, meaning a lot of pvp was happening? I can't remember for sure but I thought Rogean posted that idea somewhere. It would be nice to know if there was something brewing, we might be in the next zone over and miss it all otherwise. With the modified pvp tagging levels, a modified YT announcing bigger battles could make huge fights... ie a group vs group karana treant camp fight could end up in a war.

Any old school wars were word of mouth via /tell, and therefore smaller than they could have been.

Just sounds like they want dick waving features implemented.

Just because something is not classic doesn't mean we have to adhere to some dogma. I mean, throughout the course of EQ things we're balanced and patched because the community got involved. I don't see how saying because "It wasn't classic" means it can't be implemented and fun for everybody at the same time. Retaining a classic server experience while still implementing necessary changes like:

Fixing Zone plugging
Pvp scoreboard
Yellow Text

Will not make it NOT classic but more pvp friendly.

A good example is what p99 has done with a really cool concept yet retained a completely classic server experience is the auction tracker
http://wiki.project1999.org/index.ph...AuctionTracker

You can see the ebb and flow of the economy and current trends of item value. This isn't classic but it's really useful and imo adds to the server experience.

The point of the "project" of project 99 is a classic server. This implementation is a server with OPTION to pvp not INCENTIVE to pvp. The incentive is to contest spawns etc, not to spam ethnic slurs globally after a yellow text msg. Which is what I think you guys are shooting for.

when I kill you Nirgon in game...i want the whole world knowing that it was ME that put you down in the dirt. thats why i want it

No yellow text. I'd rather players not know what I'm doing in the zone, and it isn't classic.

Yup. Only yellow text if they duel.

Can you imagine the spam if there is a planned major fight in South Karana? The spam would be somewhat unbearable.
