I don't understand why they don't just copy the rules from the live discord server. The fact that multiple people in the 20-30 range placed in the top 10 just shows it ended up being about PVP.

Just try it, worst case scenario you try something different in a month.

Live server done the rules of no pvp until level 6, only applies to newbie zones... gotta do full loot like live aswell and the 500% experience bonus will not get people hitting level 50, it will help people get to level 6-15 where they will b hunted by everyone else around that level, the point of the discord as I see it is you are always on edge in fear that you will be stabbed in the back

Can someone post that? The discord rules and mechanics?

I would think the main difference is that the pool of population was probably much larger on Discord.

Pvp was enabled level 1 from live discord. I remember it clearly

[Chrisjones70]

Only active outside newbie zones, otherwise it was level 6

[Gustoo]

Yeah deff not level one in newbie zones I was w
Easily able to complete a bunch of late era newbie quest fess that was enabled in old world at the time.

The flaw with live rule set is that at least one person exploited the rules and farmed friends for kill points who all sacrificed to a lowbie to give maximum kill points. That would be totally abused here where you can make multiple accounts for free

So I think it should follow live except that. It's going to be good.

To me thats the least of my worries. If 2 elf sim nerds autists wanna game the system for a month 14 hour a day to appear on top of a fucking EQemu killboard that gets reset every 2 months, so be it.

What should be more important to my mind is that some dominant crew doesnt depopulate the server in 5 days and how to cushion the griefer crews as much as possible, because they will be dominant and looking for "lulz". Again thats why i think xp rate should be high, so that losing a lvl20 isnt such a big deal. It needs to be fun to play, so that it doesnt depopulate fast, that should be top priority

We have some preliminary discussion going on at p99discord.com Cant wait for this project, so excited!

[miraclegrow2]

wouldnt be too excited server will just be dominated by 14 hour a day playtime druids who think they are good at pvp.

Only 14? Heh you're in for a rude awakening. Try like 18-20 hr a day.
