Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the YT only come up once one person dies?

If so, for all the people that argue that it shows "where the action is", shouldn't you
say "where the action was"?

Unless the "action" that you are actually looking for is ganking someone at low health/mana? And even then, it is likely that the person who won would actually
leave the zone a.s.a.p. knowing other predators are on the way, leaving only the person who has no choice but to come back to get their corpse.

So if I get this correctly, all you guys really want when you say "action", is to be able to grief people on CR's without looking like you're corpse camping.

Oh, and please skip the bullshit about anti-pk's and helping others, that utopian ship sailed a long time ago, and if you really want to help someone you can always send a /tell.

you are border-line unreadable level of retard

but here it goes

you dum dum piece of poopy:

1 v 1 seldom happens

1 person goes down in a 4v6

and everyone swarms

they pick sides, choose allies, steal mobs, get pixels

thus is life in norrath and YT will make it better

Firstly, thank you for remaining polite, it is much appreciated and reflects accurately how many grains of salt I should take when considering your arguments.

Secondly, in the scenario you mention, 10 people are involved before any YT. If 10 people are in a zone, it isn't South Qeynos. People who aren't "border-line unreadable level of retard" like myself should be able to figure out which zones are populated and potentially already be in them when the "action" begins.

Thirdly, I guess I'm extremely lucky, since 1 v 1 seldom happens, that almost all of the pvp I've experienced on r99 has been just that 1 v 1. It also mostly happens when one party has a perceived edge, i.e. one of us is low life from a Pve encounter, and the other hopes for an easy kill. Based on this, my "dum dum piece of poopy" logic presumes that people are attracted by easy prey, and giving YT with location would give these fine upstanding gentlemen another tool to do just that.

Because of their honor, I'm sure I'm wrong and no one would ever use YT with loc to gank or grief people, but it would solely be to have epic fights where people "pick sides, choose allies, steal mobs, get pixels".

I stand corrected.

Are you guys getting madder and madder as the votes lean more in loc's favor?

not really, its just a game.

But I prefer to be as close to classic as possible. I know its not completely classic the way it is, but its pretty close. Actually id be happier without YT... or globalooc for that matter. But its not making or breaking my game.

classic isn't 1 player in every zone thus yellow text makes it more classic by letting players get closer together

[Cwall]

here is the situation, especially true since this server doesn't show you who is in another zone on /who all

group A is camping the druid rings in lavastorm
group B ports in to go to sol B, gets ambushed by group A
yellow text starts showing up that there's a big fight in lavastorm
group C has been looking for pvp(harder to find it without /who showing where people are), and then knows it's going on in lavastorm
group C ports in, more pvp happens

i have never in my entire life heard anyone complain about YT revealing location in any of the iterations of PvP boxes that had it implemented

I've said this about 500 times on these forums but some people like to just continually ignore it anyway + pretend that classic Everquest was all about playing it solo in empty zones without interacting with other players.

Oh i hope your life is longer than eqemu.. or even the 13 years of eq. ;-)

On a more serious note, most of those pvp boxes are gone now... for a number of reasons.

since the kunark comfirmation came lots of people are found in the good xp zones. Sure you can still find plenty of empty zones, but only if you wish to or if you play insane hours where pop can still drop to below 40.

yes those pvp boxes are gone for a number of reasons unrelated to YT or its disclosure of location
