Discord type server

Lets all get aimbot and have a bloodbath

[SamwiseRed]

antihax doesnt stop anyone as shown in ec the other day on blue. unless query is being ran everyday.

Someone should just setup a r99 counterstrike server for some good old fashion fps funs

[Nirgon]

People want to have their own guilds and do their own thing

And then half of them merge into Nihilum during the next "I'm bored" exodus

Heartbrand tried the hardest I think to merge the clans

Kringe was the most successful and thusly proved what I knew to be true all along

Why not have a perma death discord server with scoreboard etc.? Seems ez to do, have no gm intervention apart from hacking, prosper.

So perma death in PvP or all aspects of the game?

Also, scoreboard seems kind of dumb with perma death; if you are still alive, that means you have been winning. Although honestly I am bias against leader boards in general since PvP is so unbalanced in EQ, it just encourages people to play the handful of classes that are the "flavor of the box."

Could do it either way I guess, I would prefer perma death in all aspects to avoid circumventing perma death via manastone and the like. Scoreboards are imperfect and in a perfect world you'd like assists to be tracked as well but I was aiming for something easy and quick to launch.

Back in the day my wife met another player in EQ that played under self enforced perma death. The only reason I remember was because while she was grouped with him, he died, and freaked the fuck out on the cleric in their group. I think it was his 5th and highest lvl character at that point, around lvl 30. Boy did he go off the deep end, I should have saved the screen shot she took.

The code for Vanilla and database is out in the wild and good to go. Its also easy to replicate. Vanilla EMU is rockin. Make one. Ask devnoob if you could participate in his project and host it.

The only reason they dont is probably because their busy hosting their current project.

Then you can join the ranks of corrupt gm's, guides, server admins that the community just loves to hate. Will give you lots of material to wall of text with.

But I would play on your discord server!

I think we can all agree that red and boxes in general, at least until velious, is/are pretty stale.

yeah dude, this server/pvp is stale because the server is filled with abunch of pussies that all joined nihilum. If you guys had some balls and didn't all zerg to 1 guild this server would have been pretty fun.

I don't blame the zerg for the 1-50 game. Which is what turns most people away on this server. EMU player mentality everyone has a druid on their account and trades plvls for all other characters. Thats what wrecks the server.

I am currently leveling a druid. I repeatedly say to my groups... Don't know if I have what it takes to play the classes I want to play solo on the box.

Attempting to make friends that I can coerce into playing with me on my schedule. EQ is a really bad solo game. Yet thats what the fast EXP and multiple accounts and characters per account leads too. If there was a way to force people to play only one character, and there was no work arounds. We'd see a different level spread. People would have to earn 60, not be friends with a douchebag or roll a mage and farm seafuries for plvl.

Also I would like to add because of the top heavy popluation both zerg and non-zerg we are quickly getting to the point where new players see everyone who is a melee 1-40 with a fungi and go wtf... Though fungi wielding melees are not to blame they usually group and shit helpin the new players. But it is a demoralizing factor of joining an old box.

Population plain and simple. A lot of new commers would like beta to end so they could play on a box with non-broken resists and vanilla legacy content.

**** anyway ignoring that big wall of text the simple direct:

The way people earn 60 is through metagame and thats all they want is 60, their missing out on 1-60 and the struggle to gear up a new toon. I consider that less fun and less of an acheivement then rolling an "easy character" and twinking. Part of that is zerg mentality, and part of it is everyone trying to catch up to them. But its not the Zergs fault, were all OOR to the zerg before level 52.

So roll some fresh toons folks if your mad about it.
