[RANT] Why Red 2.0 would suck even if it ever happened

[Kief]

its because everyone crys so much so they come up with shit like this.

cant blame them

I think the best approach is the Wild Wild West option. No rules, let the server police itself. Balance is bland. The forces of good and evil should be free to battle each other for supremacy. It would be way more engaging imo and the thrill of victory against all odds would be increased ten fold. The chaotic neutral server police faction would be fun as fuck imo

Kunark only iksar only jungle PVP with zero rules that aren't hard coded. Dreaming of a year or 2 of excellent battle.

instead, red got blubie retards like Gade, Amelinda and eunomia and the forgettably named later guides policing OOC for using normal words like PraS and flame agate

I'm not sure what's the rationale behind prohibiting "intentionally causing exp loss". It's player versus player, and making the other lose exp certainly falls into the "versus" category.

Same for training. I never understood why training can be a bannable offense on red. It's just another way of utilizing environment for PvP, like LoS, water dodging, guard faction or Z-axis.

Everything should be allowed except blatant game-breaking exploiting / MQ and such.

I think it is because it is too easy for only 4 or even 2 people to permanently disrupt most raids if training is allowed. You can ruin a 100 man raid group with a couple good people dropping NPC's on them. Not sure if there is a way to combat that without rules. Maybe. Well I guess if it was permadeath start at bind at level 1 people wouldn't be able to keep up the trains?

Hey if that is legit all it takes for a raid to be protected against training then I support no rules against it but I know training was also bannable there and there really was a lot
More honor especially among the people who got to 50 and then to 60

if i had a dollar for every stupid bard i made zone on red with my wizard id have enough to take luls out to red lobster

literally just nuke them as they travel THE SAME CIRCLE over and over

The most fun I ever had on this server was a flowers of happiness friendly wizard porting for clarity killing anyone I felt like targeting. I’m not a raider or super obsessed with bis gear so my personal opinion is probably skewed and does not matter but as a casual player I had a lot of fun on red over the years and raided maybe 5 times total since 2011
