Hosting A VZ/TZ Box

Am I the only one to notice since Quarm is back up Red99 is back to like 20 people lul.

Community who had lost all hope loses last additional hope they didn’t even know they had.

Red is a good backup Quarm box though TBH, very similar just endless grinding by yourself.

Recruiting, looking to raid some shit tomorrow Fear, Golems, or maybe some Air Idk. Naggy/Vox alts maybe.

The goal is to ultimately goad people into coming to fight us and to hype up the server. Eventually get 3 guilds, push the population past 200. 100 vs 100 in Feerrot/Fear. Glory Days restored.

There may be a few steps inbetween we'll sort it out.

i had fun with red riiight up until the second i had to interact with another human being using hilariously busted EQ mechanics to grief

wish these soldiers would just take my word for it that nothing is better than Eve Online pvp, EQ crew there could get some shit done

You are not even the real Ekco.

Tallon Zek never had much griefing. There was the Dark team which had the advantage and population, with their safe zones. And the Lights who had their areas and safe zones and uber guilds.

The PVP would be Lights or Darks venturing out of their zones and getting swarmed, etc. And then later on guild vs guild.

Griefing was more of a Sullon thing with Fancy or whatever the bard. Red99 follows that logic with Tune basically. Tune roaming the world with an +/- 8 level range(not classic FFA was 4) as the best geared Bard in Nihilum slaughtering noobs 52+ trying to level with no gear. So there you go the people advocated TZ level range, FFA so they could grief and do what Tune did, but they weren't the best so they quit. (Colgate, Kringe etc) In fact there was no Loot and Scoot back then either, Tune would just corpse camp all day lol. Everyone just quit the box was beyond dead.

That is not what I am trying to replicate lol. Nothing has really captured the TZ magic on EMU. The guilds on TZ wanted to be known as skilled groups, PVPers, feared, make a name for themselves. That's why you PVP'd, it was repping your guild in the broader fight of Good VS Evil and proving you belong in the top guilds.

Also Duik when I say grinding I mean .01% of a kill per mob levelling, I don't mean doing content. I can't sit at Solb Royals anymore and do them for 9 hours to get through level 45 you get me bro. I still like the EQ content and playing EQ.

Why is MY box so different, won't you just get griefed anyway. Yeah kinda, I guess I would say I set up everything to be the least grief oriented box.

- Kunark End-Game Gear is roughly the same HP as Kunark End-Game Groupable Gear. There are status items and better items but anyone can compete. Velious ruins that but with Bowquest it isn't as noticeable, if Bowquest got removed the 5kHP troll war with a primal and vulak gear/fungi will be near unkillable.

- Levelling is not a heavy burden, you can find some hole somewhere and grind it out, on Red99 there was no escape, with the handful of zones, you would get followed all day anywhere. On my Box you will be able to get 60, no one can grind that to a halt.

- Raids have variance, I have written pages and pages, having lets say the guild situation at a 90-10 power level, and then lining all the mobs up in one day back to back, and saying well just PVP for them, is not possible, or logical. I have added variance to all the mobs allowing PVP windows and smaller guilds to get some mobs at off hours, times, snipes. On Red99 the guild would show up with 50, when you had 5, at the exact spawn time for years.

- GM's, Amelinda banned Holo for doing what Nihi did, Derubael sold pixels for RMT, Sirken was Gongshow pocket GM gave colgate an AON, and now finally Destar is Lewis, following you invis to get revenge lol. On the VZTZ boxes Terpuntine or w/e was the Pocket GM for Holocaust peoples. On my BOX no favors, no help other than bugs and problems fixes. I am probably the only EMU player that would not feel any peer pressure to help certain people. I care about everyone the same and I can honestly say that... lol.

- Quality of my box. The melee mechanics feel right, the graphics/lag feels right, pets feel right, the content and quality feels right. It feels like Red99s little brother, not a shitbox guildwars server from 2010. Or a TAKP server that chops and sucks my balls. Now someone else can make a PEQ box and rebuild it, but I probably put in hundreds of hours at this point, if someone does it I'll play idc as long as it's not endless grind box.

Also, it's long term. I was called by Tryndamere the guy who made League of Legends, "one of the best rogues on TZ", I was the Red99 PVP beta champ, I live this shit, I love it.

I wouldn't ruin my Dev reputation by getting some simple gimmick kill on someone I don't like (all of you). I do it for the EQ, nostalgia, and because no one else can. My box WILL outlast the others, be better than the others, and be more fun. Ty for your time.
