Just pick one of the rule sets and adhere to it. This mutant custom wannabe classic box is pathetic and dead.

This is a lot like saying "just pick Christianity, Judaism, or Islam."

Yeah, look at where that has gotten the world. There's no point in adhering to outmoded, broken systems. Evolve.

Everquest PvP servers were never especially popular and the ONLY way to make a p99 Red server successful is going to be through alteration and innovation; creating an entirely better product rather than adhering to "classic". They already have a box that is meant to be as hard-coded classic as possible and can sit around as a historical document. Any other server should be about providing a product that is objectively fun and engaging, while keeping the general spirit of what Everquest was meant to be and naturally should have evolved into.

We've seen for years and years the state of the Red server. Activity increased with the exp bonus, LnS + PvP level range, global chat, and Velious...but it wasn't sustainable because the basic problem is there's nothing worth playing for. There's no real PvP that happens, and it doesn't much matter the times it rarely does happen, and all of the classic content has been released and played through. People got to see the things in the game they hadn't been able to previously. There's no point in sitting around farming more gear. For what purpose? Nobody fucking cares, there's nothing to use it for. It's a WASTE of life.

Why do we try to improve anything in life? Gee, let's think about this for a second.

The game sucks but it doesn't have to. It's an inherently modifiable entity and the only thing preventing it from being better is this overriding defunct idea of "Classic". There's no other game out there right now that offers the opportunity to implement the kind of MMO system I'd want to play and would have the playerbase to support it. If some game magically came along that did have what I wanted then I'd obviously play it. For now, p99 is the only possibility of that happening.

Again, they already have their hard-coded classic Blue server. They've been very open to making various changes to the Red server and since the server's population is so terrible again, and has historically almost always been terrible while adhering to this idea of "classic Red EQ", I would hope they realize it's time to start implementing more big changes. If it's a question of taking time to code then just bring in volunteers to help. I would put some time into it.

[Colgate]

no actually they aren't open to making any changes whatsoever because literally everything relies on rogean and he hasn't given a single fuck since 2010

[Zuranthium]

Funny then how they did make changes and wanted input for how a new Red server should be. They also already said for this server that they would put in weekly PvP tournaments if we figured out the logistics for them. I probably should have followed up and written a comprehensive list of specifics, but I wasn't especially motivated to at the time.

I'm still not very motivated to play this game if just that change alone was all they put in, but talking about potential possible improvements is better than nothing. It would be nice, for starters, if the community would actually participate in a discussion about how to balance equal-equipment, equal-number-of-players style PvP in this game.

didn't read any of Zuranthium's posts yet but I am considering it.

Any reviews?
