Discussion on R99 vs VZTZ **POSTPONED**

[Nyrod]

it blows my mind that people have so many delusional ideas about how to "fix" this server.

if there has been 45 ideas stated i have only seen 1 or 2 that even have any shred understanding about EQ pvp EMU's. what the hell is wrong with you people? oh yeah, most of you still holding onto a pipe dream.

its the same "problem" with this server. people.

good luck "fixing" them.

cant hardcore changes that force people to do something different then what they want to do.

the only reason things were any better on vztz was because there was enough people willing to compete against the "big bad guild" but the reality is at this point the "resistance" is tired. there's always chance for a second wind.

wiping a server is ignorant unless its seriously broken (hello server isnt THAT broken), it will never accomplish anything, sorry if you disagree but your wrong. been through ~4 of them and its like the 3x exp bonus we just had, pop will spike but it will also hardcore dip. those who stick around are the same people willing to play when exp is 1x or even if no one is on the server.

that said, i think as this is still a beta run, keep going, release velious, let the project keep running so we can learn and when all content is whored out, THEN wipe and for fucks sake dont leave us stuck in classic for 2 yrs, kunark for 2 yrs, make it a set timeline for release.

TLDR fix resists and minor pvp issues, for the sake of all thats holy release Velious

Heartbrand, I'm not a big fan of yours after I paid you 3k to camp my guise and then you pk'd my wiz... WHILE WE WERE IN THE SAME GUILD... I was too stunned that you attacked me to even fight back or try to escape. But please follow @BuddyGrizzard on Twitter.

so i appreciate all the well written constructive feed back. your walls of text are not going unread. as a grown up, im not scared of paragraphs. so thanks!

as it gets closer to thursday ill shoot some PMs to some players to see if they would want to join me. if players enjoy it we will do it again later on, and that will allow me to shuffle in different players to get more points of view.

Just in case my hamster analogy inspires Rogean to realize "hmm... I like hamsters... I'd rather have 600 hamsters than only 100 hamsters," let me make one last suggestion for a theoretical third server.

State at launch that the server is not permanent. State that, once the server has gone through a double-speed timeline all the way to velious, there will be a vote every 6 months after velious release asking if the players want a wipe. As soon as the majority of the population says they want a wipe, it all starts over.

That way the current red and blue servers remain the only permanent servers. Rogean promised there would never be a wipe, and he doesn't want to fail at keeping that promise. He doesn't have to. Make a separate, non-permanent server with an accelerated timeline and double xp rate and let the players know up front their toons can eventually be wiped by popular demand.

The one other thing that would make a server's integrity beyond question would be to make the character database public. If there was a way to automatically port it into a Magelo database so everybody could see every piece of gear on every character on the server, any RMT would be identified by the population immediately. Ok seriously that's my last post for this morning. Off work in 30 and going to sleep.
