If red were to ever be restarted, would you support PvP teams?

[Safon]

I feel like a Talon Zek set up would draw in a much larger population, it's got some level of security for people that are new to PvP, and is probably less cutthroat than Ralos was? I dunno maybe this is a weak idea, but I'd love to play on PvP teams server like live again

Thoughts? Flames?

I personally like teams and item loot.

if red was reopened, it would need to be VZ or TZ style teams. this allows players that come here with no pre made guild, and no pre made friends, a chance to actually have a good time with other players.

its much less cut throat than RZ. but theres a reason VZ and TZ had double RZ's pop.

also, i would say give item loot a trial period. item loot is one of those things that need to go in at the start, or never at all.

restart with item loot

Why not SZ with Item loot?

The reason I loved SZ is that I didn't have to worry about XTeaming, and with hard coded teams, you could rain/PBAE without hitting your own faction.

With the current resist system item loot would be so fuckin lol. Wear full resist droppable gear still get hit and rooted for full damage by naked wiz.snufz.

put in plz.

ps sz rules are the best but there would be 10 people playin on dis server.

you can rain/PBAE and not hit your team with racial teams as well. the only problem is that i feel xteaming would be out of control. back on live, you maybe had 1 or 2 guilds per server xteaming, but they were considered the scumbags of the server. that probably wouldnt have the same effect in this community, so i dunno maybe SZ teams would be better?

racial teams would work if languages could be limited by race, and if they removed the ability to learn languages that werent your own race. ie: short races speak peck, dark races speak dark speech, elvish races speak elvish, and human races speak human.

that way, while crossteaming is still possible, communication is greatly hindered any time players arent in vent.


really doesnt matter though, box will never be wiped.

pixels forever safe.

Why wipe red 99? Why not open up a test server with all the fixes that should of been implemented at classic that weren't. Keep red99 up and running or backed up. and see if it is Popular. if it is, think of a figure the community can come up with to make a "3rd server possible". im sure it could happen.

i honestly think that idea is the last viable chance at a REAL pvp box. this one will always be looked at as either a joke, or only good for first few months. Teams wouldent be bad, and make item loot / coin loot. and yellow text. but NO global ooc. no need for it really if pop high. everyone knows the first few months were the best on red and global ooc only made trolling better not the gameplay.

but eq pvp might be dead who knows.

I like red 99 but teams would be very cool too, real problem is that you would be splitting the population.

Splitting up the population how? Right now on red it is every man for themselves. If you see someone that isn't in the same guild and is in range, pvp will happen. There are like 5 different teams on red99 right now, plus the few rolling solo.
