I want a new red server
When they introduced Trammel to UO I quit. And then I played EQ PvP servers for a couple of years was great banter. 19 years later I logged into Green and am overwhelmed with nostalgia. But somethings missing.... PvP. Cant get a decent farm on Green cus its over populated. But it doesnt feel right playing on a PvE server. Please reset red. Would be nice to be able to join in to the start of a new red. And RoZ doesnt appeal to me as much even though I see it being advertised a lot.

RoZ actually has better pvp game play but just can't compare to the project 1999 brand since it is new so it doesn't bring the same population. The GMs on red have always been corrupt and were all caught. Now it is just abandoned with no action taken when things are broken or to enforce any rules. Everyone still interested in EQ PvP is on RoZ now. If Red99 ever restarted everyone would come back though just because Project 1999 would be able to attract a lot of new blood or bring people back that gave up on EQ PvP.

If you want to play EQ PvP RoZ is the only choice right now and would be good for you to jump in and meet some of the people on the server. If Red99 does come back a crew from RoZ will probably end up dominating the server anyways so it wouldn't be a bad place to try out.

I played here from the beginning. There were some calls I disagreed with that GMs made, and inconsistent application of rules, but nothing that really mattered, and surely nothing that ruined the game. It was just crybabies who refused to logon because a GM made a dumb ruling on a train. It happens in sports all the time, look at the tripping call against Dallas vs my patriots. You move on to the next game / pvp fight and shrug it off. People on both sides were infected with this conspiracy theorist mentality that the GMs were out to get them and how everyone was corrupt, when really it was just inept / poorly informed staff making off the cuff calls.

The one exception I will say to this was the Holocaust guild banning from the nagafen wall exploit for doing what nihilium had done prior. While two wrongs don’t make a right, deleting the guild and doing a guild wide ban was overkill to the max on an already dying server at the time. While it was eventually undone, it really hurt the box and tilted the scales in nihilium’s favor for years after that point.

Truth to this but I don't know what point you are arguing. The point I made is the GMs were too strict and were to lazy to enforce it regularly. The Nagafen fight is just an extreme that stands out. They did look into things every once in a while and when they did they were way too harsh but most of the time just completely absent. You call it conspiracy theory but people would have to beg GMs to look into things and they normally only looked into things when they were begged by someone they had some sort of relationship with. The main point though was how corrupt the GMs were all the way through. Derubal, Paymelinda and Sirken, awful.

The fact that all they had to do was copy a game from blue 99 and make it a pvp server they did about as bad as someone could.
