Things Still Needing Attention On This Server

[Tr0llb0rn]

not even worth responding to the calls for YT and boxing (lol). Never going to happen, waste of breath. Horrible ideas that will never see the light of day, and if by some twist they were, I guarantee you the box would be done for. Would be about a dozen boxers left and thats it.

If we wanted to box, we'd be boxing legit on free EQmac.

release Kunark but before you do make sure its advertised. pay smedy 50 euros or something to make a new vid. forum warriors do some work on other sites. Kunark CAN boost the hell out of population if done right.

+1 to pop yo

earlier you posted you did not even know the exact level of your troll SK, you obviously are not serious about playing here.

Lazy and wants to put zero work or investment into his character (that he dosent even know the level of). Not what this server is about. See you in 3 years when they remove the hybrid penalty in velous.

Reading comprehension. I agree overall that more content is needed, but to think that Plane of Sky is going to bring 100+, like this poster claimed about Plane of Hate, is laughable. Kunark is what's needed, yes I understand Sky is the natural progression towards that, just making fun of the concept that Sky on it's own will suddenly bring an influx of players.

people too xp hungry. i was xping in a full group last night with a bard and xp was fine. I am more for removing hell levels than hybrid penalties.

Buff Factor: Lol learn to pumice / don't engage someone 1 on 2

Griefing factor: Except now there's more PVP where there wasn't before because people's OOR PL druids will now be PVPing one another.

Travel Factor: Lol people still have trouble getting ports at this point of the server? Everyone and their mother has a druid.

Group factor: Groups are almost non-existent. I think you'd see many boxers get sick of pvping each other with little to show for it and end up grouping together. Plus, this may be crazy to you, some of us actually enjoy grouping.

Exactly why nothing needed to be said. You're too disillusioned by your own desire to box to see it for the detriment that it is.

"LOL GRPS ARE NON EXISTANT BUT ALLOWING PPL TO GROUP WITH THEMSELVES WILL FIX IT SOMEHOW!!!111one"

My enjoyment of having to go out to group with people is mostly WHY I don't support boxing. You're just fucking retarded pal.

Boxing for Red
-----------------

Pros:

Easier to find groups
Easier to roll solo on this server during down time
Easier to hold camps down and vice versa more pvp for those camps
Eaiser for guilds to field more "players" to compete, allowing a 2 guild server to become a 3 guild server or even a 4 guild server
Easier for noobs to find help, buff bots / port bots / trader bots, etc.
Makes server feel more alive
More characters to kill
Most people suck at boxing for PVP so ezier kills

Cons:

Those who are really good @ boxing will dominate newbs without groups (tho this can be a pro as well because it encourages the newb to bring friends to fight the boxer, thus leading to more pvp)
Can lead to anti-social behavior, tho on a 50 person server, I think the pro outweighs the con on this one
People can down raid content with minimal numbers, tho again, this could lead to pvp between guilds / box crews over that content

Ez Fix for Cons? Limit boxing to 2 chars. This allows melee/healer type combos, allows people to box healers on raids, etc. etc.

Heartbrand u make the stupidest arguments for boxing, stfu alrdy, it will only deter new comers and make it easier to level alts...

Hybrid penalty needs to be removed.

EXP alrdy boosted.

YT would be nice but not game changing.

Resists: Player base continues to say they don't want a special custom resist system, they want classic. For a server that's built upon being classic, this one is just mind boggling to me. The evidence of what classic was has been documented all over these boards, it's not an issue of can the devs make it classic, it's an issue of they don't want it to be classic.

Resist seem ok to me, and you claim that theres been evidence of classic resists all over the boards? Well.... "I remember" is not evidence, sorry pal, do some research if you want it changed.

Seems to me that you are upset you have BiS MR items in every slot and are still taking full fire and ice damage, try having a more balanced resist set.

I've always been against boxing even on live. If boxing was ever implemented, I would for sure move on. Thats not a rage quit but this server is pretty legit atm and I'd like to keep it that way. Keep the playing field fair to those of us who only wish to play one toon at a time.

[Tr0llb0rn]

yeah, the whole point of this goes out the window the day they allow boxing.

We are here for the community. Boxing is the community killer.

Also, fyi, a chemically-stable pvp community is needed to create a strong server. Red99 can be as shiny as you'd like it. The fact that EQ PVP is a minority to begin with, compounded with the community being mostly comprised of gasoline-huffing retards that:

1. Grief off any and all players
2. Rage quit if any competition arises
3. Cheat and exploit to gain any advantage they can

Doomed the server from the start. VZTZ has fallen time and time again for a reason. The PVP community just can't help but continue down the same self-destructive path as before. The reason PVP was mostly successful on live, especially in 99-01, was because of the community. It was a balanced mix of players. We simply don't have that any more. Enjoy Red99 for what it is or move the fuck on. It obviously isn't sinking in that nobody gives a shit about all of the posts you make from atop your internet soap box.
