Proposed new server ruleset: PvE+ [long effortpost] - Page 6

The thing is everyone wants something new, but if its not on the P1999 banner its not going to attract enough of a crowd. It's enough of an uphill battle trying to get 10 out of 1300 people to try red server when the population really isn't enticing.

Think TAKP and "that other one" are 100 or under most of the time and that's with boxing, think the latter hovers around 40 with boxing.

As for the Sleeper server, is that even still open? Was so broken and buggy on its release nobody stayed.

Would rotations require more GM support? I feel like the system would more or less run itself once a few guilds are made examples of. It may even require less support than the current rules. The server I played on had a rotation running for years and never once required any GM intervention because it wasn't GM enforced.

Go read the raid forum and see if you still feel like that would happen. I don't know for sure, but I just don't see that kind of thing happening here. I'd be all for it, but it's been tried before.

Here you would inevitably end up with dozens of spinoff guilds that would form alliances with one another to raid together and get locks on 90% of content. If that didn't work, you'd end up with dozens more guilds of alts that would do effectively the same thing, just not together at the same time, but still eating up the same number of rotation slots/content.

It can still be fun though either way! :3

At this point I think its safe to say nobody wants to start again on a server unless its a P99 server, all in good time. Coming soon etc.

It wouldn't be p1999, but remember how when you complete Plane of Time Xegony magics everything back to how it should be?

This would be a great theme for a progression server; after PoP is defeated the server resets back to vanilla. Enjoy your 5 minutes of Quarm loots!

Likely it would reduce petitions. Can't really petition if your not up on the rotation. Can't really defend taking a mob if your not up on the rotation.

You know, the best way to do this would simply be: if an NPC is less than 90% of the level of anyone in your group, it drops no loot and you get no XP.

TLC worked on anything that was magic lore I think. Anything else was fine and dropped 100%.
