Server not thriving anymore

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.

yellow text fo sho but i dunno about custom pvp rewards and stuff like that

yellow text + resist fixes + broken shit like highsun fixes/mage pet would save the server

Sirken, you should really just make a character here and actually play.

I'm not talking about custom items, I'm talking about vendor's to buy items already found in the game all no trade/ no drop items so they cannot be farmed for alt's or influence the server's economy.

The Vendors would sell stuff like Plane of Fear, Hate, Air gear, and could even feature VP gear for an insane cost. This would allow player's an alternate route to compete in high end pvp without destroying the raiding aspect of pve.

It would also guarantee that no one guild could ever box new player's out of the pvp scene by exclusively camping pve content. And would encourage player's to participate in player vs player combat more actively.

controlling content is the main reason to pvp [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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.)

I am here for the PVP over PVE..which never happens because because the server rejects blame Nihilum for stealing all the talent.

The reality is that all of the good players get tired of listening to Mellow, Andis and Lite flake out. Then end up joining us as the last resort to a bad situation where they have invested too much time to just "give up".


Want to increase the population on Red? Allow naked move logs from Blue to Red.

Transfers would only be fair if they went both ways

it is easier to level on blue because groups exist 50+ there, they do not here

yes the exp moves 25% faster here, but there is just no groups to grind in

Sounds classic.

Nah we want to increase server pop on Red.

Rallos was the minority pvp server for a long time (up until SZ came out). that said, if all u want to do is run around fragging kids, EQpvp might not be the game for you. EQpvp was intended to be EQ with pvp turned on. nothing more. a primarily PvE game, with the option to kill others. as far as the xp penalty, ive addressed it.



what fucking planet do u live on? bindrushing has not been illegal since forever because if they die a ton of times they are losing xp with each death.


what else did u wanna cry about?[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You did not address any of the points i made, and instead chose name calling. Fine.

Let me try this again though:

- The devs are being told for a year and a half now, that xp loss advantages zergs like nihilum and that it hinders pvp. That the reason why Nihilum is neck deep in dragon gear, has a quadrillion bank alts for high end gear is because no one will challenge them on a regular basis because the penalty for trying so is too harsh.

- "Bind rushing" is classic. I never said it was illegal. I said that Rogean's ruleset goes counter to the kind of gameplay that was prevalent on Rallos, that "LOL this isnt CoD" and "all you wanna do is run around fragging kids" gameplay you obviously werent around to experience back in classic.

- EQ endgame is not interesting enough on its own, to be doing it over, and over, and over, and over again. You do not lose xp on blue, ever, unless youre unlucky and die in PVE and cant find a cleric to rez you. On red, where the focus is supposed to be on PVP, you are asked to do alot more PVE than you are asking people to do on a PVE server, there is something wrong with that. You might say xp is slower on blue but like it was pointed out, its easy to find groups on blue and its alot more fun to be getting groups left and right than what the situation on red is.

I do not mind PVE. I just dont like Rogean's custom ruleset, where its something like 90%PVE and 10% PVP. It doesnt work for people who like to PVP more than 5 times a week. Theres problems that came with Rogean deciding to fiddle with a custom ruleset that werent thought through. (hard twinks who will never, ever lose their gear edge, for example, xp griefing basically naked casuals trying to have fun)

what name did i call you?

again, i already posted multiple times about xp loss in pvp. go back and read the thread. i agree with you, it needs to go.

again, my live server, Vallon Zek, had a higher population that RZ. the server Tallon Zek had a higher population than RZ. the only time RZ wasnt the bottom minority lowest pop server in EQ was when they introduced the cesspool that was Sullon Zek. and im truly sorry if your pvp memories simply consist of griefing and bindrushing (which btw is and has always been legal yet you continue to harp about it), because it seems you really missed out. we are absolutely not trying to emulate the lowest pop server on EQ (pre Sullon Zek era).

regardless of what you think, it takes much longer to level on blue than it does on red. im not going to debate that with you, its a fact.

and yes, i have classic highend pvp server experience. id bet i saw more pvp tagged in <Macabre> or <Torrent> then you've seen on live combined. and you know what? i stand by my statement, if all you wanna do is run around fragging kids, or playing CoD with EQ characters, then you are probably playing the wrong game [You must be logged in to view images.
