Just saying.

Hobbes red
Calvin Blue

I like the idea of global pvp, running around and killing people invading cities etc etc.

but when it comes to dungeon camps and raids I cant think of anything I would hate more than having to deal with pvp when you already have to kill 1 mob and 1 ph for 6 hours for a rare drop just to have someone come up and kill you.

Some people love it, I don't have the time to invest in a camp 2 or 3 times because someone brought some buddies to come take it from me or whatever.

Tryen to remember that human PDM mage with 356 days played in like velious era haha.

Tuis? He was in KotWR before jumping to PDM lol....sad day.

I loved the PvP aspect of the game. Everyone talks about the negatives - the training, the corpse camping etc. But in the early days of TZ people respected each other so much so that we had "Player Written, Player Enforced" Play Nice Policies. It had nothing to do with being blue - it was just simple courtesy shit. Hey I killed you, I'll let you get yer corpse, you leave the zone for at least an hour.

There's no "challenge" in killing someone nekkid 20 times as they try to retrieve their corpse. Just like there is no challenge in bind rushing an oom wizard that just kicked yer ass and you KNOW he doesn't have the mana to do anything but gate.

NOT knowing is what made PvP exciting. You jumped into situations, whether it was in yer 20s ganking a group of darks at the treants in SK (which we lovingly called the ATM), or whether you were roaming around Kunark in the open lands in yer 50s on the prowl that pumped adrenaline and gave the game a challenge level you can not achieve fighting _a_random_mob_002.

That being said however - the PLAYER BASE is what will determine whether or not a Red99 succeeds or fails. No amount of server coding or GM intervention is going to be able to ensure a sense of "community" that makes people want to stay and progress thru the good and the bad.

The hardest is to keep a level 1 halfling perma unconscious with shurikens on a 60 iksar monk when your skill keeps going up each time you throw one.

Rabies <2 hour 1 damage per tick dot>

That's why you bring 2-3 of your buddies to help camp it heh. Sure was a lot more close-knit friendships on the Zeks becuz you were almost forced to travel in packs. None of this hundreds of MAG/NEC/DRU solo bullshit. Yeah you still had some - but nowhere near as bad as here.

[Amuk]

Yeah Tuis that's right =)

[Zephys]

I really like the Idea of a red P99 server, actually. This stupid "Bluebie hate" crusade's annoying as hell, though.

Screw it. I just made a red Paladin for the hell of it.

[Skaza]

Awesome Zephys.. Took my shaman Ziggies red as well.. Hope to see ya around. I didnt mean to instigate some server rage off by creating this thread.. I searched for a current pvp thread and found none via the engine so I made one.. But yeah.. Turning in my tome.. If anyone else decides to go red as well let me know via tell.

It ALSo costs 200 a month per server
