RELEASE LUCLIN ON RED

This.

Using the corrupt and infested p2002 project as an example of how people aren't interested in Luclin is laughably ignorant. I'm a little shocked. I guess that is what makes up our capitalist marketplace, the "uninformed" consumer.

The 99 brand are the most legitimate servers, nothing else is even remotely close to it as far as legitimacy goes.

I'm actually still sick someone referenced p2002 as a counter argument. Gross.

I'll hit on some more points later.

First off, Luclin is a lot of work. Second, fucking cats. Third, it's not classic.

But most importantly, spreading our small population over more zones is an absolutely terrible idea. Nothing you or anyone else says will change that simple, obvious truth.

I know for myself and many in Empire, we have 0 interest in a classic only server and wouldn't play.

Pretty sure I'm saying we should go back to classic, and that I believe kunark and velious on red were a mistake. Your argument supports mine.

I'd say the chances of a Luclin release are higher than the chance of another classic server. Hence our position.


Luclin would enable small guilds like Casual Scum, Thunderdome, Friends, and remnants of TMO a shot at being able to raid content because of the sheer number of targets available when Luclin comes into play.

These guilds would grow and flourish without <Friends> and a few certain players in <Empire> hawking over them.

FACT: We have population already interested in playing R99 in its current state.

There is no reason to believe a rollback server, wipe, or fresh server should be considered until we beta test the Luclin Raid Pressure Relief Theory as I have coined it. Which would result in a sustained 350 pop average server, nearly 200 more people than we have right now.

More on that later, after I'm able to reconnoiter with Dr. Heartbergerstein in the alley behind the temple.

Seriously. It's called Project 1999 for a reason. The condition of the server now should be proof enough that non-classic bullshit just doesn't work here. Nobody cares what people like Heartbrand, who just want more free pixels and uncontested raid targets, want from the server.

Classic, been there and done that. Its called an expansion.

Maybe you have heard of it, but they add expansions to games to make them better.

krazyGlue and easy_lee, two guys who probably did nothing to benefit the health of the server now calling for a wipe/reroll over releasing the next classic 2001 Velious-era expansion pack.

One is a luddite degenerate griefer. The jury is still out on this easy_lee fella.

classic saw the quickest drop off of any content. within a month the majority of the pop was gone. this is because classic can be beaten in 3 weeks.

classic population was over 600 for the first month.. was great till the Rogean said ,, there will never be Yellow text or xp bonus...

pop went down to less than 100....

rogean finally adds YT and xp bonus.. server pop back at 200ish...

its tobad he just didnt listen to the community in the first place and the server would still have 500+

First, you have no evidence to support any of the bullshit you're spewing. Second, you don't back up your points with any sort of theory. Third, more zones means less people per zone, thus less PvP.

But if you want to talk theory, here's some theory for you: more raid targets means less PvP. Why contest someone over mob A when you can just kill mob B for comparable loot?

The only thing more targets would do is give smaller guilds free, uncontested pixels since the biggest guild would be occupied with the best ones. That goes against the spirit of the server. It's called Red PvP, not Red Free Uncontested Pixels and Fast Leveling For People Who Suck At EQ.

You're pushing for something that not only makes PvP more difficult since people are more spread out, but also makes it less likely by creating more raid targets. It's a socialist solution to gear for everyone, and does nothing to encourage PvP. Small guilds won't contest the big ones just because they have gear, people will just use the small guilds to gear up and join the big ones for better pixels.

I said "More on that later". You are reaching with that pal and making selective attacks now.

When the Luclin Raid Pressure Relief Theory is unveiled, everything will make sense.
