Oblivious, apparently.

I'm not sure what you're reading into what I wrote.

Well... you said "I'd love to have a P99-type server" with different policies, and then said "if you want something, make it yourself." It's a classic example of not following your own advice.

Not entirely what I meant.

I don't have the requisite skills or free time to make the server I want, so I settle with the one that is. My point was that I don't expect they would have any reason to hand me a copy of their hard work so that I could just plug it in and say, "Hai guys! Come play on my server now!"

I think my original intent needs to be made clear here, as it seems I've spured several tangent discussions.


1.) I was not asking for any source, private IP, or to have the p99 code / db handed to me for my own use. I simply was offering hardware to the dev's if THEY were interested in this path.

2.) I was not trying to start a "pvp" movement, and I accept the answer of the dev's / admins that if they wanted to do this - they dont have resource issues and dont need help

3.) I did not send a PM, because it's possible, and likely that this information and / or suggestion will be thought of by someone else and they may benefit from this information. I fully understand that my statement is dependant on them actually "finding" this information using the search function, which in many cases is also not likely.

Hey Guys, thought I'd toss this out there:

I was an EQ player for longer than I care to count, and have been an Emu player on and off since the project got what I would call "stable"

Generally I prefer PVP to Blue servers, but it's an opinion, and everyone is entitled to his or her own preference. The reason I'm bringing this up is because I love the idea of Project 1999 but for me - it's missing the PvP aspect, and I'm sorry guys, flagging Red a PoD isnt the same. lol

In the spirit of helping to be part of my own solution. I have the ability to host a server, with very little desire to setup, develop or configure one from scratch.

What I'm offering:
4 Cores (of a 16 core Xeon box @ 2.8ghz)
4 to 16gb of Ram (depending on needs)
Unlimited hard drive space (as it relates to the project)
Windows Server 2008, 2003 or Linux installation (as it suits your needs)
50mb / 50mb dedicated fiber internet connection with direct routable address.

What I'd like to see is the Project 1999 code, in a PvP server version mirrored for thoes that enjoy and want to live in a PvP world. You keep your name, branding, admin control, GM control..etc

Just opening the topic up for brainstorming.

Good luck bro!!!!!!!! The more people offering their resources for the greater goal of getting a legit server going with pvp may allow us to get what we are looking for. There are a lot of people offering their resources to get a big old school pvp thing going.

I just hope that Nilbog and Rogean understand that increasing the options bring a much wider following. Keeping it closed when there are just regular dudes being staff and inciting DDOS & private info public, instead of something like, re-writing the zone server to stop shitting all over itself.

Our agenda and intent is simple, We have pals that push Eqemu code to the limit, there is a huge following. Help us out, we have quests/item databases in great condition. Eqemu will evolve at a much faster rate.

Everything else is utter shit that Daxum and all the dumbasses afterwards ruined and created loopholes/exploits instead of fixes. Look at what he contributed to the community? An utter piece of shit gutted from anything that was helpful to the greater community. The only reason why we have it is because their GM Searyx dumped the server and sent it to us before Gronkus closed the box. We want a p99 contribution in which we can continue the greater effort of the emulation community.


Secrets is a nice guy and all, but the PvP community is getting shit on Eqemu-Wide. Vile is an insanely huge supporter of PvP, regardless if he is just some kid.

Would definately jump to a well run PvP server.

This server is great, no offense.

It's just boring the hell out of me lately. I switched to PvP for a little while after the years of PvE grind started to make me yawn and it was tons of fun.

I really do think there is a decent size player base wanting PvP.

Make redname players able to do everything a blue can do...just plus pvp with other reds. Same population...everyone gets what they want.

Bluebies healing/buffing reds is the issue.

[Auchae]

The current GMs aren't going to deal with those issues. There should be a whole new GM who knows all the coding and is dedicated to fixing the PvP issues such as the one you listed, Salty.

It could work.

What about this guy

Same issue as youd have on a pvp system....someone healing your opponent is possible. Would just have to have more people backing you up i guess. Idk better than no pvp at all? you decide.
