Server Hosting Oportunity

[mitic]

seeing all those ppl arguing against a pvp server is a good sign how viable a pvp server would be

they are all scared to lose a good portion of the playerbase i tell you

I say this as someone who would love to see a P99-type server hosted that doesn't have such retarded views on multi-boxing.

If you want it, make it yourself... just like they did.

EXACTLY!!! The smart thing to do would have been to send Rogean or Nilog a private message asking them about this. Like I said before I doubt you would get high enough of a population that even wants to do Classic EQ PVP. I think it's nice of someone to offer their services but just because one person wants it doesn't mean anyone will play on it. I could go on and list the reasons of why PVP Classic is not for everyone but that's another topic and I don't care that much.

Nilog ... Nolog

These are variations of my name I haven't seen before. nilborg and niblig are the most common.

tl;dr I think P99 would do well to go (partially?) open-source

EQEMU is open source. That's as partial as it's going to get. If someone wants to help us, they can download from the public, open-source eqemu repositories and make submissions.

Riveting counterpoint, my good man. I shall sincerely reexamine my position based upon your thoughtful response.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the situation, but wouldn't that be essentially starting from scratch? It seems like it would take a titanic effort (roughly equal to all the work already done on P99) to make any helpful contribution.

But then I'm no coder, so it's not like I can pledge I'd give you any help even if you did go open-source.

Let me spell it out for ya. You are an idiot.

Epic subtle troll, or actually that oblivious? I can't tell...

Sadly, it's the latter.

Oblivious, apparently.

I'm not sure what you're reading into what I wrote.
