I might be inclined to do that, as may others, but to think people will drop what theyre doing to go save some lowbie getting camped, thats just ridiculous.

Hey i just broke that FBSS spawn but some random lowbie that could be a cross team alt getting camped, guess ill gate out and go save his ass.

Im one of the "good" guys on this box, and even I would need to think about it for a while before i decide if i drop everything to go save some random. Id be more inclined to do it if said attacker is on my shit list.

Id be more willing to do it if say, im in neriak buying spells and theres something going on in nektulos, and some of my team are there duking it off, ill go join to mess around and have fun. If they implement xp loss in pvp within level range again though its just gonna be lol point and laugh at the devs material. Just like people werent willing to contest Nihi on raid zones, teams will not contest griefers Griefing done by the winning team because theres nothing in it beside more PVE grind. And i mean Griefing with a capital G.

Think HB is right on this, people looking at it with 99rosetinted glasses. Red99 will most likely be imported on teams99 so there will be some hardcore griefing involved, and it will take some determined white knighters to even start to dent the consequences of that.

Agreed. A lot of people clamoring for teams are hoping that people will come out of the wood works and lead the way because they have their prefered "style" of box. So whats to hate? Red99 isn't gonna go away anytime soon.

You'll still be able to raid uncontested HB - why so bitter.

To me those people are like that girl who went against me on xp loss in pvp on the forums 2 years ago, the princess or whatever her name is that was in spear of the nation. They have all this theorycrafting in mind. But when you get down to the daily practice of the ruleset, when they realise the epic grief that comes out of it, then you dont see these people post for a year + as they get the fuck out of that mess and stop logging on.

To me the best possible outcome, which is still bad, would be a fresh new FFA server where xp loss in pvp is removed from the start. Its to me the less griefy EQ pvp environment i can think of, where the teams can come and go, and alliances arent set in stone where faction balance isnt locked down foreverish.

Teams will probably be better starting out, but as soon as the more experienced/more time on their hands griefers start getting ahead, its going to be much, much worse than on red99.

Can you imagine coach spending 8 hours a day in lowbie zones, Jesus, I can.

i dont wanna battle my dawg. just give it a shot, if ANYTHING its gonna be a new server with big pop and classic meaning... pvp every fucking where. if only one good thing comes out of this experiment itll be massive amounts of pvp for a few weeks.

hopefully its sucessful and all of you gain the same love for deity based hard coded teams as i. i assure you, you will see the light unless staff change this shit beyond recognition.
