Faerie Blossom...hehe.

Item loot will keep lvl 60's eskerd to PVP as always, and encourage the new players that our server needs to hunt twinks for good loot.

Right now a lowbie has nothing to do but GTFO of the low levels so they can stop getting shit on by PK's which are only an inconvenience. Does it show player skill when a level 16 guy leveling up in unrest gets destroyed by a max twink lvl 20? No...so the level 16 will just log for a while or go somewhere else to level up. With item loot there is a reason to fight.

Casters are already 10x better than melee, so there nothing will change there..a non twink melee has a horrible time leveling here since there is no one to group with. With item loot there is a chance that there will be some people to actually group with..and if they encounter PVP they will get rooted and murdered as they always have.

I used to give noob melees full banded just so they can have some good AC for the grind. Its good AC but basically worth 3pp to a PK that kills them. No drawbacks here at all except if they get some friends they can try to kill some twinks. Most twinks choose a level and stick with it, encouraging cool guys to get 4 levels above that level, and murder twink.

the problem with item loot is this aint rallos zek circa 99 and aint a bunch of naive fucking nice guy players here. this is red 99 you son of a bitch you'd do well to figure that out

[Spike Spiegel]

Ya. So there will be a lot of real pros hunting twinks. Lots of battle.

[mostbitter]

no but it doesnt matter cus it aint happening and no one really gives a fuck thanks for this thread though havent seen one like it in almost 3 months

[Spike Spiegel]

So your saying its awesome except that Rogean and pals leaving us out to dry.

Well once we have awesome concensus which is obviously forming around this subject right now..the GM's will know what to do when they move this server forward into the future.

Pres. Obama is still president so we can hope for change amirite? hehe

Hehe i love cats man thats a good one too. Super cuddly.

So I guess dev team needs to not nuke this broked server but to make a new server exact same thing + yt + item loot.

Perfect plan. No one gets sad with wipe..everyone can start fresh with nice quality item loot PVP.

And ya I'd like a non project1999 box but p99 is only trusty damn box out there. Not gunna waste time on some soon to be left for dead server.

As a relatively new player on this server please let me be the first person to tell you this is the worst idea I've ever heard. If you are trying to get new players to join a server with an established population (and established twink population at that) why the hell would you think item loot would work? The neck beards at the top can already just create untouchable low level alts to rape newbies in cloth armor for giggles. How much fun do you think it would be for that newbie to lose the bronze weapon he worked so hard for? The cracked staff? Gear is hard enough to acquire in EQ without the threat of losing it to better equipped twinks.

EFF.THAT.

100% agreed. Item loot for server growth is like fucking for chastity.
