we should definitely introduce variance.

[GradnerLives]

So how do you propose that variance will be different on Red than it is on Blue?

I would argue that the only people that appear to be in favor of variance are a select few Azrael members and others who have no past experience with the baggage that comes along with variance.

I don't see any reason to cherry pick these posts and highlight/bold the parts say who they are, rather than looking at any of their arguments and forming a coherent rebuttal.

You appear to have read the first line of my post.
Congrats.
Now what about the rest of it?

I didn't read beyond the first line of text, because I know that you either did not read or did not understand what I had posted. I didn't need to read past your first line to know that you were wrong, as your first line put you into the secondary category of fallacious arguments I outlined in my previous post.

I have actually talked to great length about how variance would be different on red vs blue, as well as why variance is a good idea in general (for red). I encourage you to familiarize myself with my last posts, not so much so you can see my input on the subject matter, but because you have demonstrated (multiple times at this point) that your critical thinking and reading comprehension skills are lacking, at best.

My most recent post in this thread featured some brilliant color-coding intended to ease the task of comprehension, as I knew I would be preaching to a "special" community. Obviously that fell brutally short of conveying meaningful information, hence why I encourage you (in a very general sense) to practice your reading abilities... perhaps using some of my other posts as exercise material.

At the very worst, you will encounter some beautiful haikus I have written that celebrate the fine red99 community.

And one last thing, since you still don't seem to get it: If you find yourself making mental comparisons (let alone sharing those comparisons in this thread) about how red will be like blue... consider the *possibility* that you are more familiar with red than you are blue. Consider the possibility that you are a carebear, somebody who enjoys this "PVP" server not because of the PVP that you or anyone else can find here, but because it is a watered down version of blue99 with less contesting for pixels and gear. Your brain makes a comparison to blue because you have don't have a clue what red is. Not just this server, in general. And having killed your bard on multiple characters of mine, I have to say that my hypothesis is not far from the truth.

Also, you are guilded Nihilum now, no? Big surprises.

Ok, ok. Here's the truth:





We're all getting voice changing software and joining Nilly to bring it down from the inside.




Glad I got dat off my chest

In no way does it raise the pop. It does absolutely nothing but grief members of the guilds willing to track mobs and leads to completely uncontested boss encounters as opposed to affording the opportunity to contest mobs on a known timer.

[Zalaerian]

Mobs will pop at 4am and be dead by 430. Azrael won't even know they poped until the next day. Sounds like a lot of pvp will happen....

[Jib]

variance would add population because people wouldnt know when mobs popped so they would have to be online in order to find out when... + pop

another reason is it would give + pop is it would allow more guilds to get raid targets. i understand none of you have lives that are here posting against variance but some people do work and leave their basements now and then. when these people cant schedule raid mobs it allows more guilds to get targets, thus more guilds more pvp and more pop

variance is totally what is needed on p99 red

[Jib]

in fact id rather have +/- 24 hours on 3 days spawns and +/- 4 days on 7 day spawns that would be so much better

[mikemandella]

Jibeknn. give up.. just let Nihilum farm the box in peace... The GM's do not care. They were perfectly happy farming a empty box two years ago and will be just fine to farm an empty one now.

[Jib]

its up to the players at this point, the gm's have done so much. the only thing left they can do is add variance.

[Zalaerian]

What are you trying to say
