Teams - whats better?

[Seary]

I feel bad for anyone like Checkraise or Nizzar who has over 200 days /played in aggregate on red99...

1) if the server is indeed wiped, bye bye pixels
2) if the server isn't wiped, you still wasted so...so...so much of your youth that you will never get back.

Kick stuns are 55+ for warriors.

Ogres and trolls trade their power for faction, increased food consumption and having a hard time in tight areas.

Similarly the small races trade having more mana (control for hybrids usually, pacify/root/fear/snare etc) for doing less physical damage.

It's fun to throw ideas around, but I don't think I could bring myself to play on a server where elves would associate themselves with evil races.

I played some dungeons and dragons less than 3 weeks ago. :P If words can change things, that's easily done. It would be easier to explain the above than traveling to the moon to fight nagas alongside mooncats. (sorry luclin fans)

I had more of an overall world in mind.. with separating natural teams. While I'm at it..

Still timeline-based.
Item loot until Kunark released
Freeport (Red Team) until Kunark released
Freeport contested when Iksars available/Kunark release.
Team languages - aside from humans, can't understand other races not aligned to your team

Hate on me. Doesn't have to be us that makes it; I'm just curious. I don't play eq, and it doesn't look like I will until I'm done with p99.

What are the odds of the server actually being wiped clean? I would play red in a heart beat if there was a chance at a fresh start. Otherwise not interested.

Nilbog, if you even consider relaunching a new red99 (which should have been done a year ago), please remove whatever changes Null put forth into the resist system, it's a joke. Also, return bard selos to breaking rooting (classic implementation), his idea of changing stuff around to fit whatever unclassic idea hes had in his mind were awful.

Don't have to hate to disagree, and I feel that anyone not into the RP side of things at least a little bit should play on blue.

The worst idea you posted, imo. Don't limit the ways people can interact with one another; pvp is great partly because of the RP trashtalk opportunities. Could give each team a unique language that the other can't understand, but at least allow communication with the enemy. This topped my list for reasons I disliked WoW.

Just make it to where you can learn the language of the other races, but everyone starts knowing the languages of their team. No common tongue.

Null didn't get to touch Kunark, it launched "as is". He didn't have to change things like mez mechanics because players couldn't go over lvl 50 then.

Keep item loot in through Velious for sure, but only first after making resists "more classic" and I'd be happy to assist in that testing as I did not log into this server's beta and provide feedback. I'm not suggesting they be PERFECT but I do have suggestions that make things much closer to classic without having the same back lash as, say, changing rogue sneak/hide.

Let's not jump the gun making a new server before some of the existing issues are pinned down first.

[nilbog]

Not making a new server. I was just asking if anyone ever considered region-based pvp.

Asked a question; learned my lesson.

Carry on.

no come back
