...there is really no downside.

Besides what I mentioned before...if location is involved with YT, people can avoid PvP too. 'Course no one would do that, right?

YT with no location info...and the ability to toggle for spam, would be a good compromise imo if it means some people wouldn't play. I don't think the hardcores would really miss the Red99 box tho...no matter what the final say is.

Rogean's idea about mass pvp messages is pretty awesome tho.

[Tombom]

If you want to avoid pvp the /w tool is there just for you =D

Either way the pvp hotspot messages are a great idea, would be a really cool feature imo. But vz/tz style yellow really lets you know that shit is going down constantly, keeps people motivated and provides lols to the masses, in the end we play games to be entertained and YT is nothing if not entertaining.

It really does make the server feel more alive and competitive. It also adds that "oh shit" factor when you see 20 messages within 30 seconds all from solb.

^This
Rogeans idea is great!

this part of YT i liked!.. the singles meh, (usually someone on a CR) just seemed pointless
nobody gives a shit if someone just died, its a damn pvp server

but it is lulz when its someone you despise

Maybe just up the duration of /guildwar to a week instead of a day.

hrm i never guildwarred before. i figured it stayed on indefinitely, till "/guildpeace" or something

[Rushmore]

Again emperor Roegan has a great idea. But please dont hold the sever up to accomplish it when there can be simple compromises made like zone wide YT.

Someone said zone wide YT and then if enough people die there is a global YT announced!?!

Sexy

Well so far two-thirds of the community wants some sort of yellow text(mostly serverwide), so if we don't see at least SOMETHING I will be very disappointed.

Prepare to be disappointed.

Rogean already said no yellow text.

If the reasoning for the broadcasts is to promote pvp awareness and not ego stroking then why not have a system in place that broadcasts big pvp battles. If several deaths occur in the same zone it could mention that there has/is a battle occurring in the zone with x players involved. Possibly mention guild names if it's a definitive guild vs guild.

Just trying to come up with ideas as a compromise.

Trying to see actual numbers on what the community prefers.

Not necessarily trying to see what people think the server SHOULD have, but instead what they would enjoy personally, so vote on that.

Discussing both of those, though, is fine, as long as shit stays on topic.

So not trying to see what should happen, but if you don't get what you want you're going to be sad?
