Red99 Changes/Improvements

[Supreme]

PVP servers are always low population this is nothing new.

My point is that even Blue99 started out slow and as content/word came out more and more people came and played.

Now there is almost 600 people on during peak.

Give it time.

Blue had over 300 after 3 months and it never dropped below that point during it's life.

It's not working as is (not that I mind the way it is) but I want people to play with so fix the problems, damn people are only so patient.

Takes too long for my slow ass.

Why is everyone hating on Supreme for not being a Red99 doomsayer like everyone else? Some people like to have hope, I'm new to the server and have had a blast from 1-14 on my Pally so far. The server is far from perfect as far as populationn, but I just spent ten straight hours in a group with another level 13, we had swapped out about 6 or 7 groupmates in that time, we were grouped from 10 PM EST to 7 AM EST.

The server isn't dead, you guys just keep on trying to kill it with every post you make.

edit : Also, Diablo 3 is a TERRIBLE terrible TeRrIbLe TARRBLE TURRLBELELELLE fucking game, Blizzard fucked it over just like they have every other one of their once good titles. Expect a huge release and quick decline

I stopped playing almost 2 months ago after just 2 weeks of playing...

My suggestions in order of Most to least important:

1) MAJOR EXP Boost - Somewhere along the lines of letting players hit the level 40's in a month or so with regular play times. (Not Grinding times)

2) Global OOC - Promotes more interaction with players on a low pop server.

3) Remove exp loss on pvp - Don't make people lose hours of game play due to a corpse camper or griefer. Keep it like it was on live with no mana and low hp.

4) Soul Binding NPC in Cities - I don't know if this is in or not but this would help GREATLY on a server that has such low populations.

5) Remove Binding Abilities in Pvp Raid zones - Speaks for itself. Prevents bind rushing Raid mobs, bind rushing guilds, bind rushing anything. Basically no binding in the Planes or dragon zones.

6) Increase the Money on newb mobs (Snakes, Rats, Beatles, wolves, skeletons, etc) - Starting a new character with already no one to play with makes life even harder if you can't even afford to buy your next spells at starting levels

7) Fix resists - Fix the resists but scale it with diminishing returns. Roots should always beable to land no matter what your resist is but just less and less likely with shorter and shorter durations. And cap how short it gets, like never below half the duration of the casted spell.

8) Wipe & Relaunch the server when all things are fixed. - Call the first incarnation of the server as its "beta phase." Regardless of what people say, people will come back to play on a fixed server. Vz/Tz wiped several times over the years it existed after fixes and everytime it came back the population grew bigger, and stronger.

If you look at my list, I prioritized the things that would help server growth.

How does this speak for itself? It's a silly idea. Please give an actual reason since so far no one has been able to do that.
(Like I said earlier, give a situation where you need to remove binding in raid zones that wouldn't be solved by making people respawn OOM).

How are you going to dispel naggy when you respawn oom? (unless you have bags and bags of dispelling items, but given that you're level 12 killing you before you dispel pets really isn't going to be that hard. This is a stupid example).

I confess that I'm not sure what you "fixed" about my post.
