if ur a caster and the melee is bound in or 1 zone away you are completely fucked unless they care about YT (most don't)

Well its that or dont play cuz farming PVE for 3 hours to put one death in the bank is indescribably boring. Especially after having grinded 60. Fucking. levels. to get to the point where you dont need to PVE beside to get some gear.

If those of you that think this way get the server you want, hope a 50 person pop isnt far from what you had in mind for a healthy pop. Good luck trying to get semi-casuals like me rolling a character on the 3rd server with this soul crushing never ending grind setup.

Your point is valid. However there is no point in catering to both... either one or the other.

If you want to fully cater to lets fight constantly every single day over dragons, just make people log in at level 51 automatically with a set of level 40's gear. Free Jboots + Pegi cloak, that shit takes longer to get than getting to 51. Red99 will never be that, might as well make your own custom server.

This communities problem is lack of community. And EZMODE pvp servers are the problem.

Rallos built community because it was 100x more soul crushing than this box ever was.

Anyway my original rant/QQ still stands, I don't see the players ever taking action to change things, and it really doesn't matter what the devs/staff do at this point. They've done pretty good, not the best, their best may yet be to come, but the players are failing hard.

Rallos had no xp loss in pvp. If it did, i would have quit a month in, instead of playing 2 years. Only got to 44 because so much time was spent fighting around camps. You know, its not the end game gear that matters, but the journey.

maybe they should make it you cannot equip/unequip anything once in pvp combat. it would fuck with pve too much so they could just make it pvp combat only. would make it better imo! no taking off your items non sense

Planning a server based off how you remember EQ live is going to be a failure, I am sorry - this isn't 1999, and we aren't worried about our E-rep. In fact, I would say the scummier shit you do, the more people laugh and enjoy it.

We are in a new age whoever you are guy, get the fuck outta here with ur nonsense.

maybe, whatever, enjoy your E-Gladiator virtual arena... it may not be instanced but it sure as hell seems to be pushed that direction by the majority.

So thats your argumentation against my point that PVE grinding to get one death in the bank is so fucking boring that it will never attract more than the 50 basement-dwellers resident neckbeards who are still playing red?

My argumentation?

I don't know what your angle is crazy person.

It's easy to build a community around rallos when you have the entire EQ community at its prime with nothing else better to play to pull from.
