ogre war is not worth not having druids

people from red are not retarded and realize druids are incredibly overpowered in classic

enjoy hittng me for 18 damage at level 50 with ur sk while I nuke you for 400s with starfire

Ogres/Trolls/Iksar/Dark Elf are the four best races in the game and all Evil. Plus FFA basically offers enhanced risk/reward for powergamers. They face danger from their own team, but at the same time they're the only team on the server that can kill anyone who gets in their way. This makes evil very attractive for a guild like Nihilum or TMO that wants to lock down every raid spawn for themselves and who don't give a shit about helping their own team.

Thinking that endgame-focused players would give up those advantages just to have access to literally the worst raiding class in the game (Druid) is laughable. Sure, Druids are strong in classic PvP, but they aren't going to stand in the way of an organized guild that can field a full range of classes. A level 50 Druid is worthless with 2-3 buffed melees chasing him down.

Let me give you an example of one thing nobody here is even aware of that's different.

"Hitting a Runed target is considered a "miss" until the rune is gone.
This is why melee procs will not go off until the rune is gone.
You do not suffer melee knockback while runed (spells can still push you around and stun you, however).
You also filter the Rune-absorbtion messages in your chat windows by setting "You being Missed"."

Then add unresistable high sun, mage pet's, no spell refresh on jboot's, unqiue spell coding and you can see why a player who signed up for classic EQ got here and said WTF!

List goes on and on. So I don't see why we keep ignoring the things that turn classic red player's off and make them want to leave and trying to add more unique solutions when it was UNIQUE things that the red player's hated the most?

They said they will be addressing things like this get your bug reports and patch notes in and maybe the new dev they may have may fix this for both servers.

Why quit this box if you like it and just want it more classic? Ya'll like to create your own self fulfilling prophecies.

They even said that "fixing" the current pvp issues is priority #1 before releasing a new box. They don't want to release another beta server. Red99 alone getting its own dedicated coder until new server launch is going to be good. A lot of stuff like cancel magic hitting OOR people not in group are probably coding issues (According to Rogean)

You all don't listen. Don't want to listen. Don't pay attention. Are not self aware or something.

I am really happy we have Sirken on the staff and from listening to the stream. His opinions do no go unheard amongst the staff. He's a dedicated pvper and won't let us down.

Its really odd cause Morpheus and Agent Smith are like supposed to be immortal foes... yet I don't feel that way at all ;p

Edit: I went back and relistened to your unedited stream Sirk. Was able to hear rogean fine.

Doesn't sound like you guys are as of last night. Sounded like none of you read the well thought out thread about an SZ ruleset with some improvements for balance. In fact most of the people talking had no knowledge of team pvp rulesets on live, which was incredibly silly and a lot of time was wasted talking about nonsense ideas and over complicating everything.

Yet they discussed it and Big Sirk helped inform. They may consider the SZ rules in the other thread. But it will probably turn out to be something more democratic in the end. It sounds like you will get your chance to vote for what you want. Fight to make that one an option. I will probably be voting for it.
