Red 2.0 rules discussion (not just PVP ruleset)

[Maiten]

As far as social rules go:

Allow us to label Exiles, Spies, and Griefers. They've earned that badge.
(Yellow/Pink name tags)

Guilds should have a few groups of 4:

Gladiators: Warrior, Shadowknight, Paladin, or Ranger
(Crimson red name tag)

Medics: Clerics, Druids, or Shamans
(Blue name tag)

Magus: Mages, Wizards, Enchanters, or Necromancers
(Green name tag)

Scoundrels: Rogues, Bards, Rangers, or Monks
(Orange name tag)


Gladiators will fight for Tanking bragging rights.

Medics are allowed to live during mass PvP events to res fallen comrades.

Magus will fight for Wisdom bragging rights.

Scoundrels will just fight.

Lol stop with these fantasy threads

Loot and scoot. I could play without loot and scoot. I could also play with Rallos zek rules. But mostly I'd rather have loot and scoot.

And whatever involves the less amount of GMs, I'm not sure why. Maybe so we can be a self sustaining cesspool, of not getting anyone to join our server.

Just take away global ooc. It was hard listening to the gay bashing at times.

I hear ya. People will care about things they shouldn't. Because the human brain is flawed. Also, we probably want to believe we are just our soul, and not our physical brain.

I think of it as we had to come from chaos. (Greek chaos. Or I think Greek chaos. Or my version of chaos.) A molten planet that had comets rain water and erupt water from the planet. Then minerals in the water, using electricity from lightning, made the first compounds of life. Then Egyptians, Greeks, Industrial revolution, Cold war technology. So I view it, we either had to come from chaos to believe we are real or not, and that's where the dicks come from.

I tried to keep it short to not attract attention, on a post that probably wasn't asking for a response.

I could live or live without /ooc. World might feel more empty though without it.

Added later: Hope I didn't get too off topic.

You can do that with a game where your negative experiences dont dominate the experience as a whole because there are mechanics in place that remove the need for GM hand holding. If you let the worst aspects of red do what they want to do, you can bet it will happen. So if you let 3 persons take 8 hour shifts guarding a body till the one week or whatever limit passes before a corpse decays, it will probably happen.

Im all for the least hand holding possible, but i think theres a bare minimum where if you let it be, it will poison everything. A clear example was to let zergs inflict xp loss on randos and small guilds, which was arguably milder than someone CCing you for 6 hours straight or more. If that destroyed the pop (i dont have the numbers but im pretty sure it had a big effect on people quitting) imagine letting anyone corpse camp anyone as long as they want because they think its funny. It will not be pretty.

Threads about pvp servers on a pvp forum oh no!

[Tune]

ideas from people that last about 1 week on a pvp box

lets listen closely

[Maiten]

Not like your a dev Tune, just a player.

Insanity is a crazy thing. If Red 1.0 died, maybe you should change it.

Unless you want to keep battling the same people everyday for years and feel powerful destroying new players.
Quickest way to see that average population drop each week.

There has to be a balance. Otherwise the "I play EQ as a job" players will once again run the server to the ground.

Tune. I didn't need to be in your guild and still played here 7 years rly enjoyjoying every minute I logged in.
