Status update for Red99, incoming changes, Sirken and Derubael tell all

[Nirgon]

Glad we made that not classic :P?

[Kergan]

Apparently nobody on live had the thought to get like 8 people with hoops and drop Trakanon instantly, or murder a player in 3 clicks. One of those non classic changes that was needed.

[Nirgon]

I guess when you have a Kunark that lasts this long (and with 100% xp bonuses all over)... that's the kind of shit people have to do all day... farm soulfires/hoops.

More on point... within a month a decked out unrest griefer will take a sharp hit.

He'll look at his bag of cloth/leather/+2int rings with pride I'm sure.

News of a rogue twink wearing a fungi might encourage people to group up and take a shot at it. Right now? What's the point?

[Nirgon]

Instead of trying to do some custom shit (which has been a disaster imo every time)... this one damn time do a classic ffa pvp implementation!

This, although you gotta make some concessions given the pop as it is at the moment.

last time you played you got rolled all over the box, de leveled and sold your char to an even bigger idiot

would your gameplay be even better if you were wearing your starter robe and full cloth?

please stop posting, you have 10k posts + and you are a gigantic fucking clown.

Are you arguing the item loot will increase server pop or just that it is classic? I can't imagine that someone playing on blue would find this appealing and decide to try red because of it.

Blue (and new red) players can barely joust with fleeing mobs that change direction too fast. I consider myself in this category so no judgements here. My point is that new players aren't going to feel confident that they can beat an evenly geared player much less a twinked out one. They'll just see the potential to lose gear that they spent hours camping.

Griefers will still grief they will just do it on naked wizards and mages.

I'm not entirely opposed to item loot just don't see it increasing server pop

[Kazi]

Give equipment a minimum level. If you're below that level and wear it, you're FFA kill to all levels.

Alternatively, if you loot an item, the original owner should get a chance at getting it back within a few hours of death, even if it's bagged.

[Nirgon]

Classic, yes.

Increase server pop... I dunno maybe? How many people quit because of the no-risk griefers in newbie zones?

I do promise you people will stop wearing dragon gear on twinks if item loot goes in... personally.

I mean you don't even have to lure people out of freeport with tons of plat on them anymore [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

Cities are safe zones... which ain't classic either but... freakin' whatever.

I liked cities being unsafe personally, lurking freeport sewers etc.

But one thing at a time, in order of priority here.

[heals4reals]

I encourage twinks

Item loot

Profit
