XP bonus on red at the moment, not sure you'll see that again when teams rules come in and there's a merge across. Arguably now is the best time to level on red.

Yay, an xp bonus so you can level a character that is essentially stuck in purgatory for an unknown amount of time. In addition, my wife plays a Barb shm / WE druid and I play a DE chanter. Depending on the ruleset (most seem to favor SZ), we won't be able to play together. Yay again.

Maybe if I was a hardcore neckbeard I would get excited about leveling up characters in anticipation of server merge, but at the moment I am very disillusioned with p99.

just fix the current problems and implement a few things needed on r99. sigh

I totally agree, but the proverbial cat is out of the bag.

I was excited about a new server, but then I found out it was pvp, blah. If it were PvE where you could only group with certain races that would be interesting.

It's probably urban legend but I've always heard that in early development EQ was originally going to limit who could group with who based on certain teams, light and dark, whathave you. The languages were in place to go with this, and common tongue was added later when they scrapped it.

Actually, I think eliminating common tongue from a teams pvp server would be pretty cool. Probably a bit of a pain at first but eventually would just segregate the teams nicely and would eliminate cross-team communication to an extent, although not entirely if it was an SZ ruleset.

The last time a game tried this we had to listen to kek kek kek constantly for years....

I've never experienced it, so can't really say first hand, aside from DAoC, where there was no cross team communications outside of emotes. Actually, come to think of it didn't they eliminate cross team chat on the EQ2 pvp servers? Seem to remember that working pretty well, but it's been ages, so I'm a bit fuzzy.

The RP server live has (or had) no common tongue and it remains a popular server. Although you could probably chalk that up to "crap people will endure when they can buy all gear in the bazaar." Lol

How come no one is asking the truly important question here?

P99 blue
P99 red
P99 ___? Purple? Orange? Magenta?

If you're going to shut down an existing server they'll certainly be considering a merge for disenchanted R99 players.

What a waste of time/effort for another server that will rarely break 100 pop. Sad really... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The end result is the same, just a different means to get there.

The thing is R99 could add 150 population a night with some fixes which would take a month max to implement. However they want to add a whole new server with all new rules which will take 3-4 months to get running and take away nilbogs velious development time. Once this new T99 server goes live R99 will be dead as dead can get.

So what is the point?
