Sam I don't think it would do anything for server population.


Start a new character and you'll see why server population is what it is.

Overthere on TZ was 90 people in the zone. Overthere here is 2 people in the zone. EQ's pve was centered around grouping with other players, its economy based around lots of players being in one zone, and its pvp dependent on being able to actually find other players to attack.

/guildwar on blue would be more classic red than this box is

When people "start new characters" over and over again like you and fail to break level 40 one year into the box, then yeah its just gonna be you perpetually by yourself in Oasis of Marr.

Get 51+ and come to KC if you want pvp. Expecting everyone to sit around with you in gfay "pvping" one year into box is asking for too much.

These two groups will never see eye to eye.

So we are going to have to put up with "custom" resists until Null decides to change it to "classic" if ever.

Each system has it's pros and cons but I am in favor of "classic" because this whole project was based on making it as close to original as possible.

Its more like anyone who can cast root wants to keep it, most melee want to take it away. Nirgon is different, he wants classic resist to pave the way for item loot. I smell to much propaganda in this whole thread.

Searyx and Holo try having a civil discussion.

Look who are the ones turning it into RNF.. who were the bad guys here again? =P

I think classic resists might happen but item loot won't so far into things. No hidden agenda there, I want it and would try to ask for it... but I don't have high hopes. I think you guys could learn to appreciate no drop stuff and more of a risk/reward based pvp system.

For me it's classic resists vs balanced resists. No one spams root against known geared people. Root is not spammed during mass pvp. Root is not the deciding factor in mass pvp. Do you guys think when balancing resists 13 years ago, the devs had anything like our server in mind?

Every Nihilum Monk has a rainbow shield, oh and a t-staff.

So when they become immune to "all spells that hinder movement and/or sight" what should be the balance check on them?

I'm glad people are posting these other numbers about at what resist rate you basically become immune to spells according to Lucy. I hope it opens up the eyes of the druids/wizards/shaman/etc to see how much of their spellbook will become 100 percent useless and insta-resistable if our resist system was set to match that.

"but high resists are so hard to get!"

lol on our 80 pop server we will ALL be running around with best in slot before the year is done. (especially Nihilum, but they are already mostly all best in slot. Of course theres VP in a month or so. Some tasty weapons and resist gear in there...... I hope all your helpless and useless casters enjoy it when the Nihilum monks/rogues/SK's etc. come out of VP and WTF eat you all alive lol)

But of course meeles so bad on our server, only balance will be to make 95 percent of all casters spellbooks useless in pvp!! Please think of the poor meele!!!!!

at least the exp is so bad as to make no one want to play them =p

Yup these guys aren't looking at the big picture. Glad I'm not the only one who cares more about server health and balance than gearing up an unstoppable melee to make a name for myself on an emulated EQ server

lol you really do have NO idea what is going on , on the server do you? This is why I told you to log in and then maybe open your mouth about what should happen.

In a few short months they will all be running around in the +15 save to all Phara Dar robes too.


"but change resists everyone!!"

you fool, you have no idea what you are asking for
