Hey Derubael, serious question. Why the push now for Red99? There have already been statements that Teams99 won't get dev attention till after Velious. So I guess it probably feels like Red99 is in limbo. But, if all the people trying Red99 now, plus even more who aren't, would be willing to flood a new Teams99 server, and the devs have stated that the two will not both exist for extended periods of time, why the push? If we're relatively sure Teams99 is the end goal why all the effort for Red99? It's actually not even a fair competition for Red99, since quite a few red people will jump ship for a new teams server in a heartbeat, as well (Yay! New Server!).

I'm not trying to belittle your effort this week, cause I think it shows you care. But I'm just not sure I see the big picture.

I am also curious about this. When the announcement of an eventual Teams99 on modded SZ rules first came up, my interest was peaked. That announcement is what actually got me playing on Red99 again. I thought hey, if the servers will eventually merge, maybe I'll take advantage of the exp bonus while it's here.

If there will be a teams server, and if red will eventually merge (as many on the staff have stated in their live AMAs), why the sudden interest in bringing Red99 back from the dead? Asking out of curiosity not spite.

Ya velious was open on SZ from the start so that gear gap was pretty insane. In the kunark era a lead wouldn't be so insurmountable unless there was unsubstantiated VP farming for months on end but even then you can only get so lucky with drops and it wouldn't mean a raid force was invincible.

It sounds like you are really worried about not being the most elite player from day one. It isn't a big deal. Level up like normal and you can join a guild to get end game gear down the road. If you want to progress slowly with a crew there is room for another guild. You won't be able to do much in Velious with 24 people anyways, but you can snipe targets in Kunark that are still good.

Your biggest obstacle with a new guild won't be other guilds PvPing you, it will be your members leaving to the other guilds so they can get end game gear much quicker. On Red there is always open recruitment in the top tier guilds and they are downing all content so pixels come easy.

I'm not worried about anything because I won't be rolling on Red and I'm fully aware of the stepping stone mentality of everquest emulator players when it comes to guilds.

Well we appreciate you stepping by to let us know how 13 years ago gear > skill.


No really.

[arsenalpow]

So nihilum is overthrown and skill conquers all? What was happening for the two previous years to this happening?

Sure you can throw 70vs 20 and thats gonna be gg. But 30 vs 40 with the 40 having better gear, fuller spell books, and more players isnt going to seal a win.


Like... i see it every time i log in..


Ive been in over 100 mass pvp battles on here, but you can tell me im wrong because you played SZ 13 years ago.

[freez]

also you being from bda talking about "overthrowing" the top is a rib cracker in its own right.
