Is Nilbog advocating for item loot? It would actually be pretty sweet, like 1 equipped item or something. Bind camping could never be legal then and it would have to be enforced pretty heavily which would get really old really fast. I could go either way item/coin doesn't matter to me.

Only personally advocating. Like I said, I'm indifferent to what happens with the loot. I just can't believe the hard core folks... not wanting their precious droppable pixels to be in the hands of another. Surprised me.

I think what it comes down to is the understanding that although the "hard core" folks would want item loot, they also understand that in order to pull a higher volume of players it is essential to make sure the bluebies trying out the red server don't have a disincentive to play

This! We can't get everything we need/want. We need to make sure the server is stable and healthy for the general public. The higher the population and higher amount of people having fun the better the server will be.

We can't be all hardcore about everything even if we want it as rough as possible. Higher pop, more people = more opportunities.

Truth.

[opinion]Global ooc is a terrible idea for peak populations greater than 250. Believe it or not, not everyone wants or needs to hear everything everyone has to say. It empowers idiots and spammers.

I know, I know. It will be suggested to turn off ooc. However, players shouldn't have to disable native, classic features of eq.. to satisfy the needs of others.

Low population, I'd advocate global ooc on for functionality, but still not for "chat".[/opinion]

this = good thoughts

Item loot isn't about being hardcore, it just makes the game completely different and not fun - if you allow item loot I'll enjoy being a no-drop/naked wizard I suppose.

If there is no global ooc then there definitely should be global yellow text. Even is the best of all worlds this server won't have the population of a live pvp server, so yellow text lets you know where hotspots are. I assume given the classic bent of the server there will be no /who'ing zones, so a way to see where fights are happening will be even more vital to the server, yellow text does this.

If you're going to do item loot. I suggest only a PVP level range of +4 / -4 like Rallos Zek.

The 8 level span is too great for item loot.

Btw. People are going to playing this box regardless. There could be flying ponies crapping ice cream and they'd still play.

P.S. - I'd be fine with global yellow text without a global OOC. I don't need to listen to someone blow their load over killing someone.

agreed with no /who and no OOC server wide yellow text is a good call
