Teams99, the people r rdy

[Mellor]

Just release it... or give us the release date... Must be others than me with an itch to play, but not willing to grind on red99 just to reroll on teams99

[Smedy]

Issue is, they don't want more then 2 servers in the end, teams99 is going to act like a bridge to red99, to renew the player base and try to get new blood on here.

It's not possible to get new blood into red99 as it is now, it's just gotten way to far, teams99 with the current red99 code + global ooc etc will give new players a much better experience and hopefully with that experience more people will stick around, and eventually it will merge into red99 where you have farmed for a year uncontested and more fun will occur

I think if they just kept red99 , the pop would maybe grow by 50 and 75% of those would end up in nihilum which in the end would lead to a dead server where nihilum raids uncontested, not what u want to see if youre running a pvp server

No global OOC if teams. Only team wide chat... and maybe not even that.

keep serverwide ooc
they should hardcode it so evil teams could not send tells to nuet/good .. only send tells to evil players or something like that .. keep the spies out and people cant crossteam

Personally don't have a problem with the idea of T99. I just want them to release it on a correct timeline. If velious is anytime in the next 6 months they should release it and then release T99 4-6 months into velious. Red should be running with 300ish pop nightly with Velious which I think most can agreed it a nice number.

Then once Velious starts to wear on people and those not in the top guilds bore of it again they will have T99 waiting for them.

The worse thing they can do is release T99 and then have velious release anytime within 6 months of its release. The blue players who went to T99 would go back to blue and some of the ex red players would go back to red leaving T99 in a bad place.

Spoken like a pixel junkie.

NO ONE that quit Red99 due to it being a toxic wasteland is going to come back for Velious. The only people that may come back, are Nihilum who got bored killing Trak and VS for the 121st time and want to farm Velious uncontested.

Red99 needs to go quietly into the night, vanish without a fight, and make room for Teams99. Teams99 is A New Hope.

Red99 is and ALWAYS will be a wasteland going forward. No amount of 'new/returning blood' will stop the pixel train that EVERY FFA server proves to be. Mass inviting and only caring about Pixels is detrimental to EVERY emulated server due to sheer population numbers.

The best thing you can do is release Teams99 ASAP. Put it on an accelerated timeline, then Merge red/teams upon Velious release; keeping the Teams99 ruleset.

why would u want to farm uncontested velious? best part of velious was there was pvp everyday over raid mobs unlike the once aweek pvp on red99 .

nilly will have over 100 in ToV while the other 3 or 4 small guilds randomly get lodi/thurg quest gear ..

gear gap in velious is huge and it will end up being nilly only on the server which is what they want. Might as well open T99 and Velious at the same time.

Let teams do 3months Classic, 3 months kunark, 6months velious(so people can get gear 2 contest on red99) , then merg servers .

Im looking forward to Teams.. Probably going Evil with my crew.

either way, just having teams so you dont get insta griefed at lvl 4 in the newb area + not having pvp exp death + having guards assist you on faction + having better resist system is going to have an enormous inpact on the early population, i think red99 lost 60% of the population within the 2 first weeks.

Lost more population due to Amelinda and the Holocaust drama, people saw writing on wall.
Kungen/Lovely exploiting dragons and LGuk LOS.

Teams will thrive.... until the merge happens, then it will degrade back into the clusterstuff that is red99.
