im gonna have to disagree with this. you are getting 2 chars for the investment of one. would totally make the server feel more like a gimmick than a legit classic pvp server. i dont agree with transfers either.

Didnt read but as a community we've had more than enough of your "fixes". Shouldnt you be zerging some uncontested npc while the rest of us work?

To the people against this, I ask you: where will the large influx of new players needed to make this server "alive" ever come from? We can put in fixes to maintain or slightly bolster the server pop, and thankfully the staff has done just that (thanks!). But if we ever hope to be more than just barely surviving, we need a big influx. I see no other way to ever make that happen.

The problem with transfers vs copies is that it requires people to commit to something they haven't tried. You need to let people test drive the car before you force them to sign the bill of sale.

Giving people free level 60s isn't going to keep them here. Without any time investment there is no attachment at all. And do you really want people who are just on R99 for the free character?

If it was a one way transfer with no gear at least only the people who are truly willing to give it a shot would come.

Or in reality, the server scum and villains who've used up all their chances on blue will be able to have a fresh start. We'd become a penal colony, but at least we'd have people.

Maybe characters from blue being copied over that are level 40+ could come to red as a level 40 with sol temple gear. If they are melee some standard melee weapon. People established on this server can hit 40 in 2 days with twinking/PL anyways. If players on blue had a chance to give the server a try with nothing to lose I think a level 40 would be encouraging.

Throwing people into Red in the 50-60 range my be too discouraging anyways. The people transferring over would hopefully have some people with their pvp skill and gear to fight against and get to know before hitting 52.

I dont support blue copies, i might support blue "movers" but with droppables and certain no drops removed.

I think server will pick back up with this new respawn script and velious, just give it some time

Unfortunately with the Azrael split 7.0, I think respawns are basically meaningless on this server and we'll see Nihilum get 100% of them. I've been on this server from the start. The player base here is incredibly toxic. The people I enjoy the most playing with are the fresh faces I recruited such as Lawlzies / Ryser / Pikrib amongst many others. We need more new players like this and less of the same old recycled Stasis like players.

i'm on board with people from blue, but this is the only way to do it
