Dear "wipe it clean" nerds

[Gustoo]

The last thing I can say is that I think it will be a big mistake to tie item loot to a new teams server. Everquest teams has never been very good, the game is really not designed around dividing players from one another in that way, and I would hate to see P99's attempt at item loot server be totally boned by a disgusting teams server.

The present dying server should be forced into teams, it would be fun as heck. I think the Freeport vs Neriak would be the best format, since we all acknowledge that ogres, bards and iksars should be on both teams. A two team system works in kunark as well, with firiona vie and OT. It would be inclination based, "good" or "Evil" and we could write some lore real quick. Race would not be a factor. Neriak needs a dock to Faydwer, and the rest of the cities would remain neutral ground, and faction should apply normally outside of neriak, freeport, OT, and Firiona. Some quest issues are pretty easy to resolve. Maybe the lore can be that there is a corruption assaulting norrath, and people can either fight the corruption or join it.

The new server should be classic rallos.

No set up will have a chance with a shit GM like Sirken at the helm. Sirks isn't qualified to run a drive thru window at your local Wendy's.

doesnt this violate the respect towards GMs rule?

He has the avatar of Agent Smith which is totally confidence inspiring in my book, and he made this thread.

That makes him a good guy.

Because Sirken posted about it and a lot of people want to play classic era everquest again.

This should be on top of things to do if a new server is ever considered seriously:

BRAINSTORM IT

That was a huge mistake, to think you have most of the answers and then we have to watch you fumble so badly with "I told you so's" afterwards. Like sticking your heads in the sand for so long that this isnt call of duty and refusing to change xp loss in pvp until it was clear that pop was heading to peak single digit.

Come up with some sort of plan outline. Like "Ok, this is what we have in mind, what do you guys think?"

And then you let people brainstorm it and pick it apart, and then you say well i like so and so, but wouldnt that situation lead to that situation? So on and so forth.

After a month or 2 of this, settle on something. If you guys decide to lone wolf this again im gonna laugh so hard, im not even going to be pissed in any way at that point, it will be pure comedy.

Totally nailed it. Current project red probably would have been a lot stronger from the get go if they had talked about it rather than just throw it out there, beta forever and ever, and then go live with almost no changes.

Sirken has already said he suggested a bunch of customization to achieve class balance and he was shot down. If your idea is not classic, before you click post, don't click post.

[Tradesonred]

Theyve already settled for Classic-ish

[Gustoo]

Classic UI unenhancements like buff timer removal.

Unclassic ruleset and exp.


Shits classic.


Anyways looking forward to the new server sirken.
