If red were to ever be restarted, would you support PvP teams?

population isnt there for teams, anyone who has played on red99 knows this

we are talking about the prospect of a new server with resurgence in population at server release it was definitely enough for it.

dont be a nay sayer because your clinging to pixels on red99, no one wants to hurt your precious pixels brew

when iskar get released - team 4

The evil team would obviously be at a disadvantage with no rangers.

[Proverbs28]

code it so dark elves can be rangers , but have same exact stats a wood elf does, no difference at all (even sight if there is one) do the same thing for bards., make an evil one with same exact stats as wood elf - just different model and dark elf faction. (no this isnt classic) but it would effect game play 0% if done that way

[Proverbs28]

this will also fix no forage on evil team, you then have to put iksar on team evil team because they dont have clerics, or do something similar (give them same stats as human cleric, minus iksar regen) and do a ranger for them (same stats as a human one, minus regen)

it would need a few non classic twists to balance it out but those are ones i could think of

[Proverbs28]

or make humans able to join any team? have a choice? might be interesting that way. they can fill in for something any team miss. like clerics or rangers or bards

[RoguePhantom]

Just code it like SZ.

Good/Newt don't get SK/Necro.

Evil dosent get Ranger/Druid.

Human Bards can worship RZ.

Each has its pluses and minuses.

I think you really have to be realistic in some en devours, mainly releasing content. currently on red99 you have close to a 1:1 ratio of people/zone. Searching for pvp is tedious at my lvl (if it even exists) I usually just give up and PVE. Yellow txt would be helpful, but having 90~ zones open with 100~ population is pretty...open. thats probably my biggest gripe on this server currently.

i never played with item loot, so im not sure what its like losing my pixels, probably sucks, but probably makes the game less dull.. encourages better play.

would basically be willing to try anything that focuses on pvp.

[Proverbs28]

why not just give humans the option to join any of 3-4 teams based on diety and everyone will have level playing field. (i see future complaints that evil raid guilds can do content, or good races not having enough necros or sk's)

As much as I dislike Nihilum and their methods of previously obtaining loots/getting where they are right now...

they still have literally hundreds maybe thousands of hours on an individual level acquiring loots. Not to mention, many of those present during the sploit era are no longer here and many legit players have joined the ranks on both sides and levelled up solo.

It would have to be a 100% vote to do any kind of restart.

I'm pretty sure we can count on someone to be the troll who votes "no" to keep the box the way it is.

Item loot instead of xp loss, smart.

Resists on root, snare, stun, blind need to be looked at as well as the whirl line being scorched from the earth. Otherwise? Do *not* put in item loot. We can live with less than perfect direct damage values and those can be looked at later... but do need a look as well.

Teams? Yeah I think people would bite for it, but I don't think it'd work. I'd ride it out though if that would help the pop. I see a small select group of random pks going neutral/good and an overwhelming number of players going evil.


I don't see any of this happening until or WELL AFTER Velious, if at all. And the reroll = never.
