Saw Nizzar swimming off the FP dock at bard speed with no bard today. If you're going to RMT, why would you destroy your customer base? More obvious everytime I log in that this is a sandbox.

Much as I know I'm kidding myself, I'm hoping Sirken and Rogean are going to open up the floor to real ideas like a team server. Make it hardcore as possible, no wipe, keep the current server up so customers are not stripped of their merchandise. Those who want a blue experience with optional PVP will stay put. The hardcore PvPers will go to a teams server with item loot and limited GM intervention.

Some pals are coming back for more punishment in the fall. We've been through this before on VZTZ where there's no challenging the dominant guild and you learn to ignore them and focus on the part of the game that's available to you and contesting with those who also exist in the margins. It's still the best PvP game in production at the moment. I don't hate. I appreciate.

Funny story.. Heartbrand made this big show of being magnanimous in another thread and offering me gear, PM'd me to say send him a tell in game, meet him in fp bank. When I talked to him in game all he wanted to know was am I re-apping to Nihilum. I said hell no I'm done with Nihilum.. I quit the server for 6 months I was so bored raiding uncontested. I told him I'm going to lead the resistance. He said didn't you hear I'm the Jew of P99 and I never heard from him again. Apparently he's worried that a 44 war in crafted might topple the evil empire. No twink gear for poor Narg.

Now, just to clarify, I have no problem with RMT. Used to make a grand a month selling shit on ebay, mostly on the strength of farming ee bags (not kidding). My customers were guys with good jobs and limited free time. They wanted to trade their money for my time.

What I have a problem with is anything that hurts a server so badly that it goes from 500 pop to 100 pop. If I had the talent to build a server like p99, you better believe I'd be all up in the cookie jar. But I'd be maximizing population like a mufucker.

For the people who spend 10 hours a day in-game but can't take 10 minutes to read a post: this is NOT a proposal to fix Red. It's a suggested ruleset for a new server. Red is dead. This is about the future.

tldr

nothing he has to say hasn't been said. Teams offers nothing for the server.

All I see is, "I'm a faggot"

I think you are underestimating the impact of the team balancing changes I proposed.

I am with you on that.

I would pick a dwarf or barbarian warrior over ogre if you got all those bonuses.

Dwarf vs Ogre
-20 str
-12 sta
+20 Agi
+35 Dex
+20 all resists

Barbarian vs Ogre
-7str
-7sta
+32agi
+20dex
+20 all resists

Rogues would be ridiculous for the evil side compared to barbarians. Classic era would be cake for Barbarians.

naked Barbarian vs DE rogue in full reavenscale

+52str
+40sta
+1 agi
+2 dex
+7 vs magic
-2 vs disease
-3vs po ison
+15 vs cold
+15 vs fire
