How about something like.

< 50 players online -------- 8 level range
> 50 && <= 125 players online -------- 6 level range
> 125 players online --------- 4 level range

Or, scalable in some way. That's just a rough example.
How about every time a player gets killed in PvP they get a blue of XP and a 1 hour global 1% XP bonus added to the 1,500,000% bonus we already have. Of course, this global bonus adds up during the day. If it gets to be too much, like when you can make level 55 off of a single decaying skeleton, then reset it back to the 1,500,000% bonus.

This is the only way to make sure that no one gets any hurt feelings in PvP. The individual gets XP because of the lost time, and the whole server gets an XP bonus because we don't want YT scaring anyone off.

CR, I know this may be asking a lot as well, but you could consider taking some of that $600,000 and starting a fund so that the mothers of red99 players could take family leave time and console PvP victims.

I'm curious what his reason was. Right now you have newbs coming here just getting absolutely slaughtered at level 52 by max geared 60's. While you're at it lets do away with the non classic and nonsensical FFA zones as well. This was a solution to a problem that didn't exist. The whole concern about oor healers for raid mobs never materialized. There's a reason classic works.

I agree with you... However it's already given the advantage. Those players already have those characters at that level range. Turning it off now will do what exactly?


I am for classic leveling. But not sure if turning it off at this point will make a difference.


IMO the level range needs to be changed. Not the exp, I think it should be +4/-4

There is a reason for FFA zones, there is oor healers, spies, dragging corpses, and Ninja Looting...

for that my solution is FFA when the Dragon, Boss Mob is Spawned.... when dragon not up it returns to normal....

as far as SolB and Permafrost go level 53+ should get booted from zone if dragon up...

as far as level range goes... 6 would be better... also is there a way to take out factoring level in pvp for melle hits, mitigation and spell resists? so a level 54 fighting a 60 would be like fightin a 54 with level 60 abilities... not being double whammied with nothing landing from you and everything is ftom them....

The FFA zones need to be no longer FFA and follow standard server rules (SolB and Permafrost). They are popular pvp farm spots and the system is currently broken from that point of view.

The 8 level range is fine, while you will never kill a level 60 at 52, with some teamwork you could easily win 2v1.
Nothing to see here folks, sunstriking VP geared wizards on advisor robe wearing 52's is A-OK ,gr8 pvp.

Sunstrike 7.0 cast
Gate 5.0 cast
Yonder 1.0 cast



Sounds like a player issue, not level range. Suck it up bud, we all did it the Tune grief round about. Once your 60, it evens out. Azrael still fights Nihilum even tho we are half classic half kunark vs 60 epic vp geared toons.

Let's make it so you can't equip VP gear if you are fighting a 59 and you are 60. Also, lets make it so wizards can't cast spells if they are in range to their target.

A couple people claim the same thing Azrael has been saying since day one, that their opponents out gear/level them, and you jump sides of the argument like a child.

Most of Red Dawn is literally 2-3 weeks old. Azrael makes this comment to this day after having 30+ days played and gear that is comparable just because the Nihilum chars they go against have an earring from VP.

Levels, epics for melee and spells for casters is all you need to compete in PvP with the best during Kunark. Enjoy the next month while you still have that advantage.
