TEAMS pvp, Please? - Page 4

The main problem is people don't want to grind out hours of boring content anymore.

Even with teams I bet it's a ghost town, but it would have been the best chance.

EQ is dead. Maybe, just maybe you have pvp at KC a few times a month kunark capped box due to easy access and gear isn't outrageous advantage, doubt it.

Stasis sometimes I feel the same way, but other people still have time and will to play. I was in college when project 1999 was new and could still find time. With a family and all the other responsibilities that come with being older, I agree that grinding a character to 60 old style while doing pvp battles and hours long corpse retrievals and stuff just may not happen for me.

But we can still hope for a good server for other people to play.

I don't think p99 can support 3 teams Torr, and I understand how you love it, just like everyone who played rallos loves it. Rallos had low level PVP that was fun and engaging like no other server. You just need to get a rogue to level 10 to start winning.

on deity (sullon), when I played, like I said, I was a newt.
We held Rivervale, I was an erud wiz solro.
day's play entailed:
loggin into RV, finding out where the Call to Arms was (where the fight was..HighPass or Kithicor/Commons, or East Karana/Beholder). Always hoped for HighPass, most chaos guaranteed.
ran to action. if encountered enemies, /shout /loc and frenz came to rez and fight back enemies. was not in a guild btw, most werent, cept the madlad wreckin crews. We had a 6 boxing (in that day it was a feat 3 desktop, 3 laptop) ranger with 5 wiz trailin him always patrolling the karanas.
we had families of crazed trolls who lived to kill players who wandered near the water's edge in NK/WK zoneline (something bout trolls and a bridge, but they werent hi enuff to kill the qeynos guards to actually live under it yet).
the place was always poppin full of action, and toxicity wasnt a thing then, but you could call for help and people came.. fast.
cause if you killed someone they dropped medals to buy gear (that we never saw, they never implemented the vendors before the server ended).

you could not /hidecorpse thus monks hid in piles of bodies, very clever of them actually. so you aoe'd corpse piles!

so no, tradesonred. I been askin for deity to come back on EQ servers since the day they took it away. No change in my stance since then, no EQ has been even close to playable since playin on deity for me. No conspiracy here, straight been askin the same thing for almost 2 decades (while I play other games since they wont re-release the best version of eq).
and I know there a quite a few others who played deity server that feel the same way.

also as far as WoW.. Tigole and Furor can rot in hell for helpin a company who is owned by the CCP. i avoid talking of WoW, but i agree, the pvp was good, i was a warlord for horde on my server in the day. but i feel the dev team is traitorous to the country and honestly fueled and bred the current form of toxicity in gaming today and since they owned by the CCP(tencent) it was prolly planned.

Have you played here? This isnt live. You have to pre-empt what the griefers are going to do and nip it in the bud or its a pretty much guaranteed fail.

i only spoke of my exp on deity server. past tense.

but the exp is validity insofar as what can occur on a teams eq server, based on classic code.
ive also played on all but the 2 team server of eq (i was was swg/daoc/warhammer/wow by that time). and did dabble a bit on the single zek reformed. that is also past exp I have established in this thread, basically the meme of the newbie log grief camping. yeah that wasnt a meme, that was gameplay on an ffa eq servers. fun but not.
i agree, griefing is horrible to a community for pvp to thrive.

i dont pre-empt or fortell anything, just talk about what I have seen and exp and try to apply it to future decisions, yes.
imho of all the mmo pvp games i have played (since tanarus) the best community was the diety eq based one.

I dont think you realise how bad the toxicity is here, was the point. Since weve seen it, it would be stupid to start a new server and not act on that experience.

They were consciously deceiving the devs, to be able to depopulate the server they were playing on, even though it was plainly obvious and inevitable that the outcome was going to be a dead server. Thats the kind of stupidity and toxicity coming from players you have to deal with here. If they fail to put brakes on those people, the server will fail. Simple as that.
