Going oom after a pvp death is enough to deter bind rushing in the most egregious cases. I have empirical evidence of this, it's called "eq live", where binding in raid zones was not removed on pvp servers, but players respawned oom when they died. Why favor one non-classic idea over a classic idea? I feel like I'm being trolled since not a single good argument has been given for why you should remove binding in raid zones, but everyone acts like it is so obviously bad that people are able to bind in SolB despite them being allowed to do so forever on Live.

If my memory serves me correctly... I thought SOE removed binding in the Planes back in 2000 or 2001? But then again I could just be confused... It was soo long ago.

You're right, but binding in Hate and Sky is already removed on p99, so no additional changes are needed except maybe for disabling binding in Fear (because of binding under CT to cause DT cycles).

The stupidity in this thread is why this server is doomed to die within a month. The "server fine" trolls are rofl.

had 42 people on 5 PM

42 fucking people, you don't think that is dead for an EQ server? Seriously?

This next patch better bring people back, I know of at least 10 people just playing to see if it brings anyone besides more BiS Nihilum back to farm hate.

If not I think the server will truly be done

Compared to the 10 people boxxing 6 toons on vztz yes this server is very much alive. Sorry some of you cant see the light at the end of the tunnel.

-Remove Hybrid Penalties. Its needlessly harsh. Casters already have a huge advantage. It was an extremely poorly thought out mechanic.
-Starting at 200% and scaling down, or a straight 100% across the board would help somewhat if population doesn't increase.
-XP on PVP Death KEEP IT! Its so low, people shouldn't be complaining. Its that or item loot, which is a lot worse.
-Global OOC - I'm for it. People can use shout, and just turn OOC off, if thats their thing.
-I'd support no binding in FFA

I am very pleased with todays patch. Server is looking UP.

Glad the devs did not get trolled into makeing red99 ezmode.

Bump- waiting for response.

Patchin respawn low health no mana and didnt touch xp loss in pvp?

That sure is going to give a much needed boost to new people rolling on this server amirite?

I mean what kind of carebear idiot would be against sitting down for 8 minutes to med (IIRC it was that amount of time on Rallos on a level 12 wiz) and losing xp in pvp on top of harsh solo-ish grind after getting repeatedly PKd by a hardcore twink?
