SantagarBrax talking about competitive on a non pvp server.

Ahh the irrelevant broken record continues to spin. Your raid scene experience is from a time when you had little to no competition against Forsaken, and once Forsaken, Taken, and Asgard started to ally in order to compete against you and Rampage, you guys woke the sleeper and quit the game. /slowclaps

You have no room to discuss anything regarding the current raiding meta, or anything since, as you don't participate nor have a clue what you're talking about. The truth is you don't know what competition on p99 is in the raid arena as you've never experienced it.

Please, continue regurgitating your completely irrelevant and inexperienced perspective.

I've proposed a solution to this: allow each account on blue and green to duplicate 1 character per account, without bank or plat, on the red server.

I think a lot of people would be interested in this without the grind of having to start from scratch. The novelty alone would bring in a healthy population, instantaneously.

This is patently false and has been historically proven. Live did this, Live died shortly thereafter.

In a true MMO, you do not do anything that lessens interaction between players. The results are obvious.

You guys keep using other servers / games as examples that rotations wouldn't work, yet my experience on this actual server says otherwise. Every single time, over the years, when the top guilds got suspended and the rest of the server shared mobs, there were huge flocks of people logging in. Even to this day, when quakes happen and even the lower guilds have guaranteed mobs to kill, the population increases. During the quarterly draft, guilds see record numbers online.

You have to remember, the vast majority of p99 players (and eq players in general) are in their 30-40s with careers and families. Most of them just want to kill dragons with friends and get some nostalgia and couldn't care less about 'competition', and the ones that do want some competition will get on an actual pvp game to scratch that itch.

Do your obvious results include the fact that live has been more popular than P99 for the entirety of it's existence? If live is dead what does that make P99? Other games that went to much further extremes in this regard are vastly more popular than EQ ever has been or will be.

I get the point you were trying to make but speaking of patently false I think we can file your entire post under that.

I think that would be a little fun but being a level 60 with no pvp experience is going to make you really embarrassed and quit. Plus, PVP like the rest of everquest is more enjoyable at levels 1-49 and 49-59 rather than just max level 60 when the game ends because there is the dynamic of the shifting power of classes as they hit their new spells and damage caps and such.

But yeah it could be interesting.

I am still blown away that p99 doesn't have quakes way more often to simulate actual everquest.

So that you happen to be playing, a quake happens and you and your friedns are like "oh shit lets go try to kill a monster!" and choose a target and hope you're first to mobilize a force to kill it.

That happened on live and here it seems it would help mess with the total locked in schedule some guys have.

There's probably at most 100-150 people and that's being generous, on each of the servers who actually care about competition and being poop sockers. Just like everything else in life the minority is always the most vocal and loud and scream at anyone who disagrees. I'm willing to bet that a P99 server with forced rotations would be the most populated server and the least amount of work for the GMs. But it will never happen.

This. Forced rotation would blow the server population up.

Also, why are "classic" spawn times(variance lol) enforced so harshly? The blue server probably has more level 60 characters than every original EQ server combined at the end of Velious.

I don't think some of these guys realize how many people stop playing P99 or just never even start because of the 'competitiveness' of the raid scene here. The number of people who would quit or not play at all because of rotations wouldn't even be close in comparison.
