How about if two guilds /guildwar eachother, yellow text can be enabled.

this please. plsplspls. such a good idea. full YT if guilds /guildwar! names/location included

in addition to the "big battle" text.

[Extunarian]

I voted no at first but I would be all for the guildwar/big battle YT. If the population is decent I'm just not gonna give a crap about random guy 1 killing random guy 2.

[Vile]

How about if over X, let's say 6 for now -- a full group, of guild A & B are in 1 zone it enables the YT?

[juicedsixfo]

That seems like it could get complicated, but who knows. I'm against yellow text for a handful of reasons, but I would support a mass /guildwar enabling yellow text. Maybe just up the duration of /guildwar to a week instead of a day.


I heard the guildwar command acts funny on Emu servers, but it ~seems~ possible to make a command for announcing kills through it.

Imagine if you stopped roleplaying and a giant ogre in multicolored armor with a skeleton pal harm touched ur fucking face and a yellow text broadcast from the Sleeper (or some other lore bullshit) announced your untimely demise

The sleeper is far too busy sleeping to make announcements about people being murdered. Did you even TRY to make a plausible Roleplay scenario???

i think YT as it was on vztz should be in- pvp with no item loot/lb is all about reputation and seeing who is killing who is the main way those come about


edit- maybe a feature on the website that would list all kills, so it wouldnt be in the ingame chat but oyu could still see?

If the reasoning for the broadcasts is to promote pvp awareness and not ego stroking then why not have a system in place that broadcasts big pvp battles. If several deaths occur in the same zone it could mention that there has/is a battle occurring in the zone with x players involved. Possibly mention guild names if it's a definitive guild vs guild.

Just trying to come up with ideas as a compromise.

I think this idea is pretty cool. Maybe zonewide yellow text to keep track of killshots and then when a certain number of deaths happen within a certain time frame, it announces to the server that x zone is a battlefield or something.

have the KDR recorded privatly and if a person with a low KDR gets killed it doesnt broadcast but ifs someone with a high one gets killed it broadcasts

I just don't see why it is such a big deal to make global ooc/YT ignorable and move on with it. The people who don't want to deal with it won't have to, but people who feel it keeps the server feeling livley and active can enjoy it, there is really no downside.

[Envious]

The down side has been expounded on relentlessly because people that talk about wanting an active pvp server want to pvp less to establish their names.

VZ/TZ never had more than 150 people on it. It was barely over 300 chars for a short duration, and we all know now that prolly a third of that was Brainz. Seriously tho, with all the 3 and 4 box'ing that was happening, its pretty safe to say never over 150 people logged in.

I'm all about global OOC until the pop is over 250 or so, maybe 150.

But YT is just annoying. Its kinda cool for a bit as a novelty, but it really has no benefit besides the clowns that think it makes them cool.

They just dont want to have to earn their reps the hard way, by actually killing relentlessly.
