Has potential.

Lots of basketball when I logged in (some guy from <TAKE NOTES> dishing it out)

Yeah encountered a ton of pvp yesterday night, hot zones help concentrate it. Buggy as fuk but idc more action in 1 night than I seen in my time on r99

Also why does anyone think Rogean is going to become active or communicative on the forums?

I lost faith in that ever happening months ago, nor would I even trust him if he suddenly started anyway.

It is what it is. I'm not angry about it personally, because this is free and it was never explicitly promised to anyone that it would be any different, but you had to know that most people would leave the second another dev offered essentially the same experience but with most requested features/changes + a willingness to have open dialogue with the playerbase.

It's not "essentially the same experience", LoZ is a colossally buggy server whereas red99's quality is probably comparable to Live servers at the time. How many times does someone have to repeat the list of bugs/exploits that are unique to LoZ before people start to get it? No matter how much the devs of that server listen to the players (which isn't always a good thing, considering some of the changes they've been pressured to make in the past), it won't change the fact that the server is an enormous hackfest.

Yeah that's true but most people don't really give a shit that there are bugs with NPC pathing or whatever. And some do give a shit that there are hotzones, pvp broadcasts, greatly reduced level grind, etc.




I don't really need to tell you this and I'm not making a sales pitch anyway. You can look at the server pop #'s for both boxes like I do and draw your own conclusions.

[SearyxTZ]

I think the best scenario is Rogean hands the reins to Devnoob. If he doesn't really care anyway, then why not? It'd free him of being trolled/nagged incessantly by angry reds and would give the players one box + a more flexible and active operator.

There are still exploits in game that have been reported since launch

You just won't see better than r99. Its sad that the best stuff is in the hands of those who are MIA. Theres really not a lot of things that need to be changed, contrary to the beliefs of the ignorant who never played classic EQ or were 12 years old when they did.

Null's resist got a lot better last patch, and with a few more tweaks it would be perfect. Funny thing is, every change moves it further from his preferred system, and more like classic (better).

Other than exp bonuses, what major things would other people like to see?
