[heartbrand]

Other than maybe Lewis, who the fuck here can pvp with 2 boxes effectively nonetheless fuckin 5 boxes?

You also think Variance is a good idea so I can see why we will never see eye to eye.

I'll admit I may be the minority but as a casual player IE I play whenever I have time and no more, boxing would be a turn off. I stated my opinion, no need to attack my character.

You never tried end game Red99, so I don't understand how you would even have an opinion on variance.

Maybe I'll edit this out.

i think population is going to rise soon enough without any of this needed but shrug

just need more strong leaders that want to give competition and not 1 raid guild 1 pvp guild just like it was before

Box population is low because Kunark is stale. PVP servers traditionally have lower populations but more people would be playing/leveling/etc if Velious was out.

Boxing is a band aid fix to the problem and realistically if people are already 2 boxing whats to stop them from 3 boxing if this goes in.

Just need 1500 people and 10 great guild leaders and a bunch of people to main clerics and enchs even tho they are boring as fuck and essentially a beefed up pumice or running around the entire fight.

Let's just pray tonight and make this shit go down.

The biggest problem red has always faced, other than a stagnant end game, is that rolling here as a newbie is incredibly difficult and unenjoyable. Contrast this with blue99 where there's even today tons of groups everywhere to be found, Orc Camp groups in EC etc., it just feels more like classic EQ. Here when you click enter world, you enter a barren wasteland with no one to play with, and when you finally find someone else, you probably don't have the right class composition to do anything, and when you do, you get a faggot like Maximilien there with his deleveled VP warrior to kill you.

If we legalize marijuana what's to stop people from doing heroine?

I think variance is what we need

Variance wont fix anything.

But i would love to see a variance on a 3 day spawn be a variable from 1 hr after death to 3 days. Total variance. Not just a +/- 12 hr.

i just dont ever see red getting anywhere near blue's numbers, lets break this down

20 blue servers back on live

1 red

x10 more players on blue

same as here

play with what you got and make it worth it, need a guild like red dawn and not faggot hokuten who quits within a month after stealing pixels with no spine
