Red99 Will Fail - Terrible Idea

Listen I know you're super excited and probably giving out forum fellatio to the current GMs so you can get on red99 and grief as hard as possible before they inevitably ban you for MQ, but every point I've made is valid and true. I've played on the previous boxes and they all end in failure for the same reasons.

Feel free to keep throwing around the generic flavor of the month forum insults about me being mad though since you can't counter any of the arguments I just made. It's cute watching idiots get flustered.

See this is where it is Tuff. I see how you could say it has the ability to fail but, if The community pulls together and are willing to compromise with each other and the GMs. People have to realize that there are going to be things they don't agree with.

Now about the server failing just for being PVP is kinda off. I mean I personally only see p1999 as the only real successful emulator server. Nothing like this has ever had the population or the community besides live. So with this stemming from a successful emulator server it could go both ways. We haven't been presented with this type of scenario before, pending they will be using the most in depth and close to classic code as possible. With that being said if the community really wants this I think it can be done and will stick.

Sullon Zek peaked at 7000 active players over level 6. TZ, VZ, and RZ probably didn't get that high but the EQ PvP population is probably higher than the classic era, enthusiast population that was responsible for p1999 being created.

This server has the potential to be bigger than the blue server. It all depends on the rule set they use, teams vs no teams, and resist system. If the server goes with teams, I could see it easily having way more people than TZVZ did. If it goes FFA, I think the max you will see is 400-450.

Also, they can make minor adjustments to resists and spell damage and things like that here and there, but I think anything that dramatically alters how PvP worked on the live servers will only make population suffer (ie: things like whirl till you hurl landing in PvP).

Everyone would rather win an NBA championship over a neigborhood YMCA one.

Therefore, I know everyone will quit this training ground and go join the pro league. When that happens, I will be forced to see my accomplishments for what they are. I have learned in the past, there is no use being on top unless there are those below me from which to compare myself to.

Please do not let reality come flooding over me. Please let me continue to pretend that I am a big fish in a big pond rather than a small one with relatively poor accomplishments that a 10 yr old kid could accomplish as well.

You can still be a big fish in a big pond, but you will have to cast your fish nuts away and grow some human ones.

It's already been established by hordes of players that you didn't PVP until Velious and have no clue what you are talking about. All spells landed. Every spell has a chance to land even with 500+ mr. Whirl till you hurl had a chance to land in pve, pvp, back then, today, tomorrow etc...just like every other spell ever made in EQ.

Your memory is shot bro. That and you talk about things as if you were there which you weren't. Sorry bro, you lose again.

Yea dude, you're so right. Clerics can mem like 10 stun spells by level 60, they just fill their entire spell bar with stuns + blind then spam them all so their target can't do anything. Oh wait, that never happened, not a single one of those spells ever landed unless you were level 10 with no resist gear.

[Lasher]

think clerics get closer to around 4 stun spells by lvl 60 but with refresh you dont need to mem them all. Also they always had a chance to land regardless of the targets resists its just very low, even max mr stun could land

Sorry Wormoct,

I've scored about 36 straight points on ya.

You've scored 0

I've totally destroyed you each time, and you havn't even scored yet. Seems like you would sit down and let someone else into the game in your place.
