Item loot is very fun and rewarding and at the same time very bad for server population. It would never be implemented on a server trying for longevity and a large population.

ffa is the only way to play, even moreso on an emulator where the population will likely be an absolute max of a few hundred (and if it doesnt have at least that many no sense in playing at all), 50% of the players being unattackable is shit and is made worse with a low population.

some kind of lame no pvp carebear flag to level 10 or 15 or something would be infinitely better than team based faggotry, might as well go play wow or rift or some other shit themepark game instead of a 12 year old game emulator with 300 people half of whom you cant do anything to.


i was a solo player the majority of the time i played eq and mostly would be again on a red eq emu, zerg guilds had no effect on me at all then and wouldn't now either. you simply need to roll the correct class to support your playstyle if you dont want to circlejerk with a zerg guild. not make a monk called ninjamaster or a paladin named goodguy and go charging forth into the fray, as for the casual ignorant party doing exactly that and quitting.......

there are going to be few if any genuinely new to eq players signing up for any emulator server let alone a pvp one, so i would think the casual sucky player would roll a class that would be better suited to casual play than one of those that require a guild to play with. the only difference is that ninjamaster and goodguy will quit or reroll at level 20 on a team server when they realize they will never get anywhere with their character outside of a dedicated guild or group of friends instead of level 10 getting bent over at gnoll/orc spawns.

Pudge you are a horrible propagandist. FFA is probably the worst thing you can have for population. If some random joe casual player who is a 2/10 in PvP skills rolls a cleric or other weak class, anytime they log on a FFA server, they're going to be dead within 60 seconds and quit.

On a teams based server, you have teams maintaining zone control so they have somewhere to hide out without getting raped 24/7 and they'll continue playing. FFA is also a bullshit term because the server is the exact opposite of what those words mean. It's a forced joining a powerful guild or don't even bother playing server. What is Free for all about that? Nothing.

Null even tries to tailor the resist system to force people to group or zerg and make soloing a nightmare. Everything about this game blows for FFA.
Guy that rolls the cleric heals other new people that want to exp and play rather than just grief / random pk..

Hey, everyone. I just stumbled across this project about a week ago. The reason I've started playing on the blue server and am now following this site is the potential of a old world PvP server through p99. I'm really impressed so far, and it looks like the crew running this project is damn classy. I'd love to see a Rallos-type pvp server, but even if it's a team server I'd still have a blast. Here's hoping we see this live in the near future.

Yeah, everyone gets their panties in a knot as to the type of PvP server, when no matter what they will still show up.

Glad to see the R99 Project is getting some more attention.
