Are the server's best days behind it?

This is a good PVE progression box and feels like live.

If you wanted a more PVP focused box you'd need boxing to allow people to port/buff etc and get to PVP, and you would need to make raid content easier so people can stay independent of the dominant guild and still progress to end game.

Won't happen on Red99, or at least for awhile because of drop rates and difficulty of the content.

This is the exact definition of eqpvp.com , and yet none playing there atm :s

Both spot on.

However, EQ is a game where gear and stats make a huge difference. Even on EQPVP servers where the goal is to be "more pvp-centric" it always ends up being a big farm box. You can literally clear TOV with 15 people boxing, and that's what ends up happening. Does PvP happen? Yes, but it also happens on Red with much more encounters because of a much larger player base.

Red has the cleanest most progressed code base and so it will continue to reign. Accept the fact that EQ is a game where Loot is important. Whether you have a guild that can field 60 for a raid, or 20 for a raid, you are raiding and getting loot for advantages.

Basically deal with it. If you are bitter and sour over the server not playing out the way you hoped it would in your head, then it's time to move on.

Pvp was better when there were just 30 of you?

Nizzar is my ace boon coon but you brought him up not I.

The problem is that this server is a bunch of grown men playing guns acting like it is Gettysburg.

People still play this server?

Another thread where lite tries to start something so he can feel relevant still, and people cry and whine but use excuses to pretend they are concerned about the server.

Same threads since it was pre kunark with double digit/single digit pop. Need original content.

I don't agree at all. There are more people on the server. During the Nilly vs Azrael (whichever Azrael iteration) the pop peaked at 140-160.

There are more guilds, more players, less contesting. Empire cannot control the less contesting part. I'm not sure what the long term plan for Friends, TMO, and Casual Scum is but I'd imagine at some point they will want a taste of the bigger pixels and would put a fight, likely when Empire numbers take a blow, because as you know even with Nihilum after enough time people get bored and the guild has to go more into a recruitment phase.

I think there are better days ahead if we're talking contesting, but it starts with the OP [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

nahhh

I put in my time, and I would have been done with the box a lot sooner had it not been for Sirken telling me things would change time and time again.

the 3 way for Severilous showed us what a pvp server could be. Then Rogean decided only he could trigger sim pops on a server he literally doesn't give a fuck about, unless it's to mock Empire.
