Default yep...

yea guys there are a lot of good valid reasons for a lot of things.... 1 lootable is whats been missin to keep everything in line.... i agree that it is not possible to have this server institute such policies....

a lot of the intrigue for me is the danger and risk in a new world ... obv ... its not new for everyone..... not new for me but a ganker in MT would have to pay for his risk ....

i get drinkin and frustrated seeing forums of people who dont lose anything but a sense of respect with lns.... if 1 loot wuz there, there would b something worth gettin upset(maybe?) but at least .... yep... you guys are right and i see it ... just part of tha validation for me starting to play here after years of ignored cuz roommate wanted to log on too... think i .... yep....

heow ill prolly redact everything but i almost get sick everytime i troll reading shit around here... whats it for...




ie: i realize now this should have been in RnF i apologize for my binge.....

edit: entruil != ne1

Well I've lived it too and I couldn't disagree more. In fact, one of the reasons that I enjoyed RZ back in the day more than any MMORPG since then is because it was the only one I've played that had item loot.

If I wanted to play an MMORPG without item loot I could pick almost any of countless games out there today. That's why I came to Project1999, because I miss oldschool EQ pvp and item loot.

If Red99 gets turned in to just another weak game pandering to the pansies, what's the point in even coming back to EQ?

It seems than newer players are trying to turn red99 into WoW. You already have WoW. Isn't that enough?

I hate WoW and how it dumbed down and simplified the idea of MMORPGs. Isn't it enough that WoW already ruined a whole new generation of MMORPGs, now the newer players have to come back and ruin the classics too?

XP loss almost killed this server. Item Loot would kill this server.

SZ style coin system with decent rewards would have people out PVPing in droves instead of holed away in some corner of the world avoiding it - which is what item loot would do.

Confirmed no one cares about bluebie pvp incentives like coin rewards or classic ear loot.

Best hope is that the future server is a full RZ classic timeline with item loot, with the exception of the looting of held and ranged items in early era because that hurts lowbie melee too much.

Guys that want soft pvp can stay on the present server.

My only concern is the combination of item loot dreams which are based on scientific fact and empirical research with team dreams which sadly is only fantasy and does not make for a healthy eq pvp experience.

We need item loot + ffa one way or another. All of the fun teams options are FUN but I am afraid of another hodgepodge non classic ruleset like we started with here on R99. I really don't want to see glorious item loot tied to the anchor of a half assed implemented custom teams system. I say this based on past experience with the otherwise excellent R99 staff...im still waiting for the city wide global OOC system that has been mysteriously backburnered after failed implementation.

The ultra long beta and very bumpy start of R99 need never be repeated on any pvp server item loot or not. I only wish I could do more to contribute to a beautiful and successful new server launch regardless of ruleset.

You can kill someone on their bind with item loot for 12 hours straight and they'll never lose 8 lvls.
