No one ever loots a fungi from a slain active pvper

It's happened. Very rare I would imagine.

I remember in the early days of Velious on RZ, my guildies and I were chasing down an enemy monk outside Kael. Monk was racing for the zoneline. BOOM, someone got the killshot and lo & behold a fungi tunic. We nearly shit. I don't even think we rolled on it! The lucky killshot owner kept it.

Sure, hardly any new players are going to join because of item loot being turned do.

But at least that way we have a decent server -in theory-

Meaning if a twink comes around in someones mega dreams they could harm touch the guy before a train kills him and take something neat. Regular scrubs wear low end gear no problems there.

I'm ready to play 3hrs a night 4x a week 10pm-1am pacific time with new ruleset, just to gear up my twink good guy.


If someone did want to bring new players to red, I would say we open it up with a special PVP event where character select gives you a level 10 gnome warrior with small bronze bp, legs and vambs and maxxed skills and fine steel long sword and you have a free for all super brawl PVP with instant respawn and you're out of the tournament once you are all out of bronze armor.

Prizes are DE masks, Manastones, Firepots binds, other stupid legacy shit.

Also on the spot guild creation.

Also server agrees to get deleted if less than 60 players show up to the event :P

on a scale from 9 to 10 how high were you when you posted this

No need for this heavy-handed stuff.

Rallos was great because there was an economy, pvp was happening, had a PK non-PK dynamic. It all worked organically. Once its coded, you dont have to touch a thing. The no drop event on Rallos was much friendlier than it would be here im sure as it was easy to get a port to the zones where the event was popping (it was on a rotation, like it popped in EK, then that mountain zone, etc) there was sort of a non-official unspoken ceasefire in effect as everyone was scrambling to gather their no drop pieces.

Thats why it should be a recurrent thing (or better, added to loot tables) here because griefy poop sockers would work hard to prevent people from getting their no drop pieces, to keep that big tactical advantage(TM) if it was a one-time event.

Keep it simple, boost what was working on Rallos, make what was working even more fun. As detailed in my post on page 2. We will likely never get that as well, but here is a working 2.0 setup on a silver platter if they wanna look into it.

Jaydee: hehe

Tradesonred: I am expecting zero custom from staff, so a simple item loot enabled, with a cut-off for item loot to keep level 60 fat cats happy is my proposal.

I agree about the halloween event that was glorious. People don't stay lowbies long in the p99 emu world with all the good wiki and all the good help so I am less concerned about those low level no-drop items being mandatory.

I pretty much think of people in two categories: 1. Grinding, wearing gear they don't mind losing, and 2. Fighting, wearing the best stuff they're willing to risk to win.

If someone comes around to stomp on noobs, you can bet a rival PK is going to show up to fight that guy and try to steal his armor. The noobs getting their ringmail and cloth stolen risk very little.

The level cap on PVP just means the high level game can stay unchanged. The justification for this is mainly because level 60 guys are pixel rotted weirdos, but the "official" justification is that at high level PVP happens for high value camps and mobs and therefore needs no additional incentives to fight back vs log out and leave.

86 last night. Poopsockers all retired to bitch on the forums. The pop is gainfully employed. They don't have to come back. It will grow as the miserable derelict turn to ash.

Each time people say that i go check. Was re-reading the thread and came across quote. Sure enough. Ronnie in 4th of july at the beginning of the movie popped in my head where hes delusional about walking again someday. "Lets go, lets go, leeets gooo". People take the peak at 10pm that stays for 10mins to tell themselves everythings fine.

I mean I don't want YOU or your kind to play. You dont like pve anymore so your only goal is to prevent me from enjoying it. Thus, I have no reason to lie.

I like pvp but for securing camps and such. As you stated, without item loot thats its primary value to one who has not beat the game already.

Just saying, I find groups no problem and have an active guild. The more of you that go away, the more it will grow.
