Discussion: Play Nice (Training, Bind Camping)

[Envious]

If its true he said that in IRC...

Well, hope he has a legal team to word the "rule" for it. And GMs to monitor the server 24/7. As well as someone to post epic tits to keep people from rage quitting after getting trained. And people from rage quitting when they cant train back. And people rage quitting for getting banned over it. And people to moderate all the GM favoritism claims. And GM corruption claims. And QQ threads. And possible Kringe moments. And a 100% completely unbiased set of GMs that have never played any EMU nor have any connection to anyone that is going to play R99. As well as a team of people to shuffle through the flood of fraps that will occur every raid spawn.

If Rogean really is going with making training illegal... Grats on suicide bombing your own server, GM staff, forums, and any claims that it will be legit.

VZ/TZ 5.0 Incoming, with all the problems of the old box but now with shit exp curves, no boxing, and Searyx'd loot tables!

Making training illegal is not classic, and adds way to much room for crying and petitioning to the max. Lets not make this like p99 in that aspect lord have mercy.

[Haul]

It is part of the freaking game. Anyone who played pvp on live knows this, don't make this a bluebie server with long list of rules..

Yes you are right, not allowing training will truly be the death of the server! Here's a few other things that your fellow posters have identified as guaranteeing the server's doom:

-Allowing training
-Item loot
-Not allowing item loot
-Fast exp
-Slow exp
-Not having soulbinders

I guess we're not safe with anything because no matter what the server is doomed.

Seriously though, having rules against training is easy. The fact that there's a rule in place will make many players not train either because they're deterred by the punishment or because they just respect the rules. On p99 if you report someone for training, a GM comes and investigates; if it's really blatant, the offender gets punished, if it's not that blatant, well then the train probably wasn't worth reporting in the first place. Moreover reporting a train gets the GM to watch the players in the zone so they can see if any repeat trains occur. Even if you can't always punish someone for the first train, being able to prevent subsequent trains is good. You guys haven't played on a real server for so long that you're forgetting how these disputes are usually handled. You also can't fathom how effective training is on p99 where mobs have pathing unlike vztz. Just relax and see how it goes down instead of prophecizing doom for a server that hasn't even been put up yet.

You mad

[Nirgon]

Rules or no rules, it's up to the community to destroy the server. Whether there's a rule against training or not it doesn't PREVENT you from doing it.

Please tell me how you can enforce this training rule 100% of the time because that is what it will take to avoid the GM favoritism talks that people actually end up believing for some stupid reason or another.

The real pvp will be convicing GMs you didn't train or getting it blamed on the other guilds for suspensions.

[Billbike]

Relax Blubies, training isn't as big of deal on a pvp server. Rooting or snaring the guy that is training is available. Pvp is ment to solve disputes between players, not GMs. Besides, it's actually sort of difficult to train with any efficiency during classic.

On the other hand, training is so much more fun when it's illegal.

[jilena]

I don't like play nice on a PvP server. Unless someone is intentionally exploiting or cheating(haxx) I don't see any reason for GM intervention. Someone trains you? Train them back. Someone bind camps you? Log on an alt. Don't be a giant pussy. I think that should be the primary GM enforced rule on this server. If you are a giant pussy who overpetitions you should instantly be banned 4 lyfe.

The amount of qq that will occur on red 99 will be unsurmountable and consume large amounts of tampons and tissues similar to hurricane Katrina.

Why do you think so many people want to play there? EQ is all about the drama, the game itself kinda sucks.
