Typical liberal mind.

The FACT is that if Nihilum did not exist there would be even FEWER people playing on Red99 not more.

The FACT is that you and your egomanicial pals cannot put aside personal differences and pride to actually make something substantial and competitive. Then you come to the forums to whine about Nihilum "zerg" and brag about griefing people off the server with 5 v 1 ganks.

If you dont like what Red99 is then STFU and GTFO make your own EQ PVP server.

You are definately in the minority.

Why would there be fewer if nihilum didnt exist? You think nihilum is special? There would be another guild to take its place if it wasnt around. Its called the majority and someone has to have it if there are no teams.

Being proud of acomplisments in a video game that is almost 15 years old and accusing others of wishing they had what you have is classic republican penis envy. Just because your penis is so small you think everyone knows.

The only FACT in your post is the one where you completely ignore any real topic of conversation and fail at trying to insult me and make up bullshit that anyone who plays on this server wouldnt touch with a 10 foot stick.


Oh by the way - I have pals in all the guilds on this server including Nihilum.

I must have hit a liberal nerve.

Give me what you have because i do not have the time, ability or desire to work for it. I am entitled to everything you have because...i play here too.

boo fucking hoo.

Stop being a forum troll posting anon crap while bashing the very guild that you claim to "one day join".

Lol @ liberal. The only thing Supreme about you is your tripple neck fat rolls.

Nice analogy that relates to nothing I said.

Posting anon is the only form of free speech in Nihilum isnt it?

[Sear]

"WE NEED GLOBAL OOC TO FIND GROUPS AND SELL STUFF" is 100% garbage.

No it isn't.

I agree that chat gets juvenile (it did on live too), but shutting off the only practical means of socializing/communicating on a small pop server isn't a better solution.

Sirken, you should really just make a character here and actually play. Logging chat isn't the same thing - it won't give you the same perspective when you haven't played on the server. This would help you understand which complaints have validity and which are just malcontent whining.

Trash talk is part of the red "classic" experience, like it or not. A few people go overboard. There's like 5 people on the server who are really offensive/bad regularly in OOC.

Anon troll crying about XP and server population then blames Nihilum.

Definately fitting in well with the rest of the trolls and server rejects.

um.

before January the red server was hitting 7%-10% of the blue server population.

with the addition of extra staff presence, some monthly pvp and pve events, and a little bit of love, the red server population peaked at 20% of blue population.

when the xp bonus was scaled back last month or so, the population dipped back into the 10%-13% of blue population range.

since that time the pop has been slowing going up again, and as i write this the pop is back at 20% of Blue server.

next time, don't just make things up. you never know who has been actually paying attention, and can call you out on your BS

There is absolutely no correlation between the pop of blue and red, many player's on red do not even have a single character on blue(myself included). And this is an extremely inaccurate way to scale the pop on red.

The population on red should be scaled simply by a timeline of active players without considering blue's pop whatsoever. We wouldn't have scaled the active pop of Sullon Zek by the rise and decline of another server.

Now thurs night Fights and event's would certainly have an impact on existing players or player's that took a hiatus but it does absolutely nothing to encourage new player's to join the server.

And finally exp penalty on death actually discourages pvp for most player's, forcing hours of pve grinding to make up for moments of pvp. This is why Sullon Zek always had an exp bonus to make up for the death penalty and encourage pvp.

Now if Sony had fulfilled there promise of vendor rewards for pvp coins earned through pvp, that was announced on the release of the server, we would have seen something truly unique to gaming... A real world pvp environment(not battlegrounds) that rewarded pvper's as much as pve'rs in content and gear for dynamic and skillful combat with other players. Instead all we see in modern games is BG grinds that make you feel like your farming mobs.

And forcing player's to grind hours of pve for moment's of pvp, shift's the power dynamic in the favor of blue raiders over skilled pvper's.

And that's really why everyone is here, to pvp in a world environment, where your success is determined by skill and adaptability to the constant challenges that arise.

That's the thing, even if the xp bonus went up to 125% it's still very hard to level to 60. It's not a cake walk, if anything it's going to take someone 4 months instead of 8 months to get 60. We aren't teenagers anymore, we live with our girlfriends/wives, we have full time jobs, families, friends. Most of us have lives here, at the time time we can only put in so much time into the game. The only reason why I'm 58 is because I got lucky and bought a 57 cleric.

-Hybrid Pen is retarded, there shouldn't be one.
-The Xp bonus needs to be increased.
-Yellow Text

Very simple, this is what needs to happen.

false, many players(mostly in nihilum) are here because they are banned on blue or cannot make it in the raid scene there(see: supreme, nizzar, etc.)

True but I was talking more the majority then the minority. If yellow text were added and pvp vendor rewards for coins introduced I think we would see the blue raiders phased out by an influx of more hardcore pvper's. Sadly I have no hope of ever seeing this come to fruition.
