srs question,

why do you think that a new pvp server would end up any different than the current pvp server after a year?

With the same ruleset and playerbase, I believe a new pvp server would result in the same outcome, yes.

Personally, I'm a fan of hardcoded teams, item loot (at least classic->Kunark), and .. really, the best mechanics of the pvp servers.

Whether a new server is made or not, do not put stock into a wipe. Characters are not wiped on p99 servers. Whether they are merged, put into stasis, or whatever, do not expect a wipe.

Teams doesnt work cuz then youd have empire or zerg of the day rolling in one faction, creating a bunch of people who roll on their faction for the winning team and... the poor fuckers who roll something else. You end up with exactly the situation we have right now, but people cant break away and start their own team from the dominant faction. I have not read one single post so far that tries to argument why this isnt the likely outcome of hardcoded teams.

Eventually it will always be in a situation like this. This is why we want a server that cycles. Nobody cares about hoarding pixels on 15 year old elf sim forever except for psychopaths and druggies. Give people who actually play this for fun a server that wipes. You can even change the ruleset each time. Hard-coded teams would be fun as hell for at least a year.

how much work would be involved with opening up a new discord server while we wait for something like a TEAMS based one? Keep it real simple by keeping a hands off approach to GM'ing when it comes to the discord server since its permadeath anyway. Anything goes - 1 item loot and permadeath.

damn you ames. something like this would make me log back in. fuck bro dat discord server would be the shit.

Telron · #**187** 08-08-2015, 05:35 PM

I never played on a discord server. Sounds fun. I am assuming the permadeath is PVP only? Otherwise some content would be impossible without forcing someone to reroll every time.

I am OK with permadeath though. More time spent PVPing = )

Serious question. The old version of teams with good / neutral / evil didn't work out so well on Live servers for obvious reasons, a huge one being the remote safe leveling of Iksar in their zones and Evils having the OT hammer for raid mobilizing. A later version had teams based off of Religions likewise grouped with good / neutral / evil which had funky things like evil side having Bards (worship Rallos Zek), etc.

With a lot of theorycrafters in the house, what would be the best version of teams (at least 3 teams, minimum) and what evidence would back up your proposed version?

the sad part is, sirken actually suspends people over bullshit like this

LNS means you loot your corpse and immediately get out of the zone

it doesn't mean buff yourself, med to full, and wait 10 minutes for DA to refresh

I didn't bait you, quit lying. I was there under 2 min before you started encouraging your team , I was there for under 5 when i was pvp attacked.

I just want to point out that members of empire's corpses were camped at the bridge that day too. multiple LNS violations were committed, and I know for a fact, being the recipient of one that it was done by TMO.
