Project 1999 red power level

[Gustoo]

Nice thread.

I think red 99 1.0 is the best place to play eq right now because it doesn’t have permanent poop sockers trying to make a living off of mid tier item pharming.

And if someone’s at a camp you can ask to share or pvp them for it pretty straight forward. Most guys perma pharming aren’t gunna be able to muster a wingman too quick if you come with a buddy.

It’s not as populated as it should be but if you get one or two buddies let alone more to play it’s the place to actually enjoy the game and explore without running into some rule lawyer weirdo.

Then if you make it to 60 there’s plenty of room for more at the raids that take place.

Plus it has the mega advantage that it’s a pvp server which is inherently better.

And it gives you some practice to be more prepared for red 2.0 launch whenever it does come.

This is what he last posted in the big 2.0 thread:

"yea lets build a new red server because if the past 10 years of red server pop has taught us anything, we need to reward them."

So just like parts of the staff, in complete denial that the server is the way it is because they let the worst elements of the server take control of it during the early years and pretty much made the whole thing unsalvageable. Unsalvageable even now because its being forced on life support because of info embargo. The same kind of negligence, 10 years later, that fucked things up in the first place.

Leaving your britney thread alone.... now!

ok, I recall Zade now, but I wasn't talking about what GM's said.

Why do you think the devs are not here discussing ways to help bring back all the old red players?

Come on brother, you know the reason and it isn't that they are in denial.


Red is what it is. Accept it or move on.

They very rarely engaged threads where people gave feedback, that i can remember, even from the early years. I can remember Rogean laughing at me telling me that "This isnt CoD" only to remove xp loss a year later because the server was at single digit pop at nite but thats about it.

Same thing with Sirken, completely out of the blue, nerf xp during Kunark, kill the box that had just been revived with the removal of xp loss, where if they had discussed it prior, 95% of the box would have told them it was a bad idea. Not only that, they dont keep tabs on their actions, its almost like they pop in months later to check like whooops box's dead, lets press this button see what it will do.

That left a bad taste in your mouth that maybe some shady shit was going in the background where some people had money invested on blue and couldnt let red get too popular. Like, was that what was going on? Cuz nothing else computed about why they would take such terrible decisions.

I dont accept that, that the toxicity is why they dont engage on the forums. If i had to bet, they just think they know better and dont need the feedback. All the big toxics like Casey and kimm barely are gone for years, theres just me bitching here, nothing that would make them treat the people politely telling them in a 100 page thread that they are still waiting for an update on the new server or their active players as badly as they are right now. Nothing excuses it. But you are right about one thing, i should just move on and check in here every 3 months.

Zade like the only greenname that still posts here maybe last year once or twice and he didn't say "no".

I doubt Zade is actually reading these forums though!

Zade is also a real pvper. Both Zade and Sirken helped a lot to get red going. So if you don't know who Zade is I can't help you anymore!

Sirken would organize jousting matches for pvp, he just didnt get the point of a sandbox pvp EQ box IMO. Im glad we had GMs that put in hours and im not sure what Sirken did behind the scenes but i would have quit being a GM before killing the server during Kunark with that xp nerf stuff. Wether he was part of the decision or just the face of it, to me its unfortunate but thats his defining moment.

I know it must be irritating to be reading this for devs and maybe lessening the chances of a new server but i cant stop myself lol like a tourette truth teller

There’s definitely something wrong with you, of that I’m certain.
