...there is really no downside.

Besides what I mentioned before...if location is involved with YT, people can avoid PvP too. 'Course no one would do that, right?

YT with no location info...and the ability to toggle for spam, would be a good compromise imo if it means some people wouldn't play. I don't think the hardcores would really miss the Red99 box tho...no matter what the final say is.

Rogean's idea about mass pvp messages is pretty awesome tho.

If the reasoning for the broadcasts is to promote pvp awareness and not ego stroking then why not have a system in place that broadcasts big pvp battles. If several deaths occur in the same zone it could mention that there has/is a battle occurring in the zone with x players involved. Possibly mention guild names if it's a definitive guild vs guild.

Just trying to come up with ideas as a compromise.

i like the idea but the number of players to die, would need to be around 2 or 3 peeps. Imo most people roll around in groups of that size if they are looking for pvp.

Serverwide message: It begins to rain blood in crushbone. etc?

All for it, I remember TZ took it off for most of the time the server was around when I played but it was great fun to see a friend or whoever highlited in yellow. Of course, I bet this adds to CR kills but whatever. It's a good way to see who is where when you're hunting anonymous people.

Rogean with a decent idea. YT basically did that but was 1 for 1 kills. Like a system that is only broadcasting big fights I could live with.

[dusk883]

Announcing bigger "battles" is much better IMO..this produces more chances at making zone fights even bigger. The biggest memories I have are in the Karanas where we had 100 people sometimes fighting each other, darkies on one side, lighties on the other.... all started by some argument over the treant camp lol

Went on for many hours!

Wait a minute, you mean to tell me you don't keep a pad and pencil next to your keyboard to make notes about the obviously awesome guy who just got some yellow text?
