Are you sure that's how classic /guildwar worked? The way I remember it, you couldn't cast ANYTHING on a PVP flagged member of a guild unless you were also a member of that guild, including heals and buffs.

Your thinking of pvp flag via priest of discord and/or a duel, not a guildwar. Pretty sure that being in a guildwar didn't prevent you from being helped by outsiders back in the day, or vise versa.

Keep in mind that being in a guildwar does not "Flag you PvP". Technically on live your name didn't turn red, you were still considered a regular player. You were just able to attack opposing guild members, that was the only difference.

However I'm planning to impliment it so that your enemy guilds' players have red names, to keep it easy to distinguish.

Roge and laure are right, if you listen to the OMG THE SERVER WILL BE FUCKED WITH PVP then only these people will remain after a while because youve seen the content. Then they will bitch that there isnt enough people on the server and leave.

Its good long term thinking on the part of devs to think about adding a little spice to the server, an extra that nobody is forced to participate in, that they might even like if they gave it a try.

Thats my opinion anyway.

I'm thinking minimum time for a guildwar is 24 hours... after that I have to decide if only one or both guild leaders have to guildpeace it off.. and then once that happens I think it will be 48 hours before they can guildwar eachother again.

I don't understand why people think that having a /guildwar command will even effect them. If you aren't in a guild that uses the /guildwar command, you won't be flagged and you will not be open to attack.

If the PVP involves training opposiing guilds with hordes of mobs then yes innocents will suffer... general griefing etc

People do that now and get away with it. Rogean 24 hours, why not 36? Day and a half. This way it gives people who aren't on a chance to do so and by that time I am sure they would be tired of it. Also, I don't think keeping them from guild waring again for 48 is wise. Think about what would happen if one guild got their butts handed to them, and after the guildwar they just started mass training knowing there was no enforced guild war. If I was in a guild that warred and even if it was for fun, I could still see people holding grudges and grieving 10x worse as a blue than a red.

As someone not interested in PVP, I would be interested in knowing:

- Will we be caught in the crossfire when guilds start training mobs at each other during the guildwar and become collateral damage? What will prevent this?

- Will groups be harder to come by because we will be forced to choose whether we want to run the risk of having our enchanter or cleric ganked by an opposing guild while we're in the middle of killing shit? What will prevent this?

Just wondering.

Yeah, /guildwar really isn't that bad. I swear, it's like some people here haven't played EQ before. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
