0 people in Greater Faydark totally classic.

Hey Harrison - VZTZ was more "classic" than this server is. You wanna know why? Because players actually fought, talked trash, and saw eachother once in a while. Just like they did on the Zek servers back in the day (servers you never played on).

Plz just stay banned you bluebie retard.

VZTZ classic, rofl

Level to 50 in 2 days, items from GMs, pathing exploited in nearly every zone, selos works indoors...rofl, etc.

Your precious shitbox was a massive joke. Don't compare it to superior boxes just because you can't handle classic EQ and got stuck at 33 with increased experience.

VZTZ had an even lower population than red99 does at its peak, except when it had 300 (boxed) players for about 2 months, but then again red99 also had well over 300 people (non-boxed) for that amount of time, so this is a weak argument anyway. I find it hard to believe there was more pvp on that server when the only pvp occurred at level 50+, whereas I saw plenty of mid-level pvp on red99.

harison and lazor are 100% correct, leave red1999 as is, it is going places, BIG places.

Who cares that VZTZ was more fun, it wasn't "classik"!

If OUR version of "classic" isn't fun enough for the dumb majority population, then LEAVE!

The Majority tells you, Challenge accepted.

PROJECT1999 RED : 104 during primetime LOL

I played ~120 hours from 1 to 33, the vast majority of which I encountered no one outside of my guild. Spent < 5% of that time in pvp, and it's not like I was ever gunshy about engaging people.


That's classic red? Because that isn't the classic red I remember. This is a straight up blue server solo grind from 1 to 42.

Good times to be had in crushbone and unrest so far, even butcherblock I get to PvP... Not sure what your argument is really about?

I thought it was pretty clear.

I never saw people in-range in GFay or BB. Unrest, maybe. Crushbone, a few newbies during primetime.

Qeynos/WK/BB/Everfrost = nope. You're alone with the grind.

Highkeep/Highpass/EK = usually nobody in zone. Sometimes a small highkeep group.


Don't kid yourself into thinking there's much early or mid level PvP, because there isn't. To even compare it to classic Zek servers which had 15x the population is delusional. There are too many zones and not enough players for them.

[Tassador]

Seriously talking now, with YT and Global ooc we will have a 600% increase in population.

take the 9 on at eurotime and multiple that number by 6 thats what we talking about.

[kazroth]

Jesus Christ dude, this is an emulated "PVP" server of a 13 year old game. You're NOT going to have 2000 people playing on it at prime time; every zone will not be filled! Hell, blue has only 600 or so at prime time. If you think about it, that's a 6:1 ratio of bluebie vs. red players. I'm willing to bet live has a much worse ratio.

Also, stop telling us who we're kidding - we're actively playing in lower levels right now and I have PvP'd every single time I have logged in.

I realize this. What you don't seem to acknowledge is that the server needs to be designed around a low population.

I'm glad you are experiencing PvP at your level. Maybe it's better around the Crushbone area since that is the most congested starting area in the game, but that's still not an excuse to put the blinders on and argue that there is active low/mid level pvp on the server. Wait until you've spent more time leveling up to comment on this. Try other races / starting areas.
