YT such a good incentive that people plug when their hp drops to 99%

People have always done that. A plugging fix would be great, but that's the only way to stop people from plugging.

Yea I mean. I hope they take plugging out just so people can quickly figure out how bad of an idea that is.

Well I can assure you that there isn't really any kind of wrong pvp promoted by YT that wouldn't exist without it.

Farming leader board points in general seems "wrong" to me so I imagine we're not going to find common ground on that point.

And I can also assure you Sirken doesn't know dick about what's going on on Red99.

He was reasonably involved on Red when I started. Obviously, not so much now.

Sirkens "outsiders", aka the blue community, think red99 is a shit hole because the GMs like Sirken do not speak favorable of it or promote it in the way that they should. Those people also have never tried it. Speak to anyone on Red 99 right now that originally played blue and I can assume you they are very very pleased with their decision to switch over.

There are lots of people on blue who went till endgame on Red and still decided that the poop-socking on blue is better than the community on Red (the last two he interviewed on his stream for example).

All in all. The box has never been in a better spot than it is right now. Population has never been on average as high.

Average population seems to be roughly what it was when I started a year ago (despite the introduction on Velious). Blue in contrast is up something like 30-50%, though I'm admittedly guesstimating.

Just make people respawn with their shit when they die in PVP and the majority of the plugs will stop.

That would create endless fights of people just repeatedly running in with their full gear. It would also be horrible for the leveling experience, as there'd be no way to fight off twinks, who would just run right back in after getting killed.

We want people to PvP, as that's what the server is all about.

Classic PVP servers weren't "all about" PVP; it was just an added rule set.

I mean, let's be honest, EQ PVP is rubbish and it only got more rubbish with every expansion. On the other hand, it's much better than training and multi-page camp lists.

So sirken is interviewing bluebies that went to red and didn't like it on his stream. Sounds like a real advocate for red99 server health.

I'm not sure why you think it's his job to fix a Red population problem. It's his job (voluntary goal?) to promote the project as a whole. If people would be happier on Blue, it makes sense to tell them as much.
