If a new p99 server opened with forced raid target rotations would you switch?

[Tr0llb0rn]

there is already a new server where the players have the power to force rotations if they'd like.

Red99

Why wait for days in a cave for a mob to spawn? Just fight for it and take what is yours.

Currently there is a blanket +50 percent xp bonus in place, on top of the regular 100 percent xp bonus (that goes down 2 percent per level after level 1), so the xp is faster.

The toxic community memebers of red99 server have already been run off by the resident White Knights in Nihilum. We welcome anyone who would like to experience project99's raid game to come on over. Currently raiding naggy/vox/hate/fear and Sky. Kunark is expected sometime very soon, come get to lvl 50 and be ready.

They say Content in King, and red99 has it all for the doing, minius the 100 man zerg poopsocking in every lair and cave in the game.

Of course TMO would be against this idea...its not the fun of getting pixels that is fun for a lot of them, it is more fun denying them to other people. Plus, probably the only people left on original P99 would be TMO.

Not sure why you guys are so against others having fun, with all your "go play another game" and "make your own server" blah blah blah Oh, wait, see my first point.

We get it. You guys are the best. You guys put in the time. You guys are the masters of EQ. (at least this non classic, 13 years later server)

Sorry that the other 75% of the server would like to see some more of everquest without dealing with your crap, and sucking you off because you guys were so generous as to leave an actual raid mob up for someone else to kill.

I imagine a fresh server would make the population explode. So many people I know who left, not because they were sick of eq, but they were sick of this entitled attitude that the top people have.

Red99 would still have 15 people on. Current P99 would have 100 people on it. New server would have 800 people on it.

Guess TMO people worried they spent all that real money on something that wouldn't be worth as much with a new server.

Give the players a choice. Those that love batphoning and poopsocking can stay here. Those that just want to game a few hours and have a civil rotation, like many classic servers were, can go to a new home.

hmmm, why dont they roll up on red99 then? They'd have far more tools there to "deny other people" then they do here.

A new server costs money, time, effort, and more gm's you come in this thread and say " i want this, give it to me now". Why? Also you assume there are only two types of players on this server TMO or anti-tmo. This is called a false dilemma falacy. Project 1999 was for a classic eq experience if you want something non classic look at a different project or ...pay... for your own server.
You would have far less people on your new server than you suppose.

Attitudes such as "go somewhere else to play if you don't like it" make the population suffer. The way most people who want to raid see their options as are:

A.) Join a raiding guild that isn't TMO and waste countless hours and days poopsocking and tracking to get maybe 1 in 10 mobs if you're lucky because you can't compete with 20-25% of the server with alts camped out at each mob.

B.) Join TMO and become part of the machine to get your free handouts or just to see raid content without putting up with TMO's idea of competition.

C.) Find somewhere else to play.

With the population as it is, it seems most people who want to raid chose B and C. The beauty of this server is that the devs do take feedback from the players and it's a very open and active community. This server is always a work in progress and there's always room for improvement and growth. To completely shut down any suggestions that aren't classic (btw this server can never be classic), even if it would help to boost the population and grow interest in the server is blind-sighted.

Red99 is on life support if we are talking about resources I think we have it there. A server with a forced rotation would need less policing in my opinion. There wouldn't be any of this VDBDA vs. TMO fighting. I am sure there are many people who would volunteer to hash our a rotation schedule and with a GMs blessing there would be little to no fighting regarding raid targets.

I am not saying "I want this" and "give it to me now". I wanted to start a poll to see if others felt the same way I did. I know there are hardcore people like yourself and others in TMO that prefer how things are now.

I am not anti-TMO, I used to be in TMO. I didn't like spending every minute I had online raiding, and this was before the DA merger. I cannot be on call for a game but I would still like to kill trak and maybe see VP one day on this server.

Then stop distracting from the true fixes, nilbogs new raid rules, and velious.

New raid rules would be nice, I am eager to see what he proposes. I could care less about velious. While I understand how important new content is for TMO, there are many of us who do not have access to content still in Kunark.

I am sorry you feel this is a distraction. Feel free to refrain from viewing this thread further.

No, this is the same mistake all the exiled from red99 are making. A wipe would lead to the exact same thing all over again, the only thing different would be you'd have spent another 20 days /played leveling up again.

On competitive servers, the cream always rises to the top. You could release a new server every month and it would be the same people at the top at the end of each month.
