Post here every time you are disappointed by no Red 2.0 news

[A Knight]

Also disappointed I'm not going to be able to play p99 for a long time. I hope its still around by the time I play.

Heck I'd even take a Luclin only server as my fate, if I can't play p99 for another year plus.

I'm hoping once Green finishes up, they do a Red 2.0 edition that will dump into Red 1.0 eventually.

Honestly, the idea of a capped level period (like level 10 for 4 weeks) is thrilling. Bring back Crushbone PVP

Yeah, to be honest I would play on a level 10 capped server every single day till everyone else quits. Full item loot. Everyone decked out in banded and cloth and low level jacinth garbage MR bracers, elite guys got the tunic from emperor crush tunic from the time 200 level 10's banded together to raid crushbone. :P

It's weird because all the P99 servers seem to really be focused on what shit is happening at level 60, when 80% of everquest population never hit level 50. Thats why it bums me out when we get PVP rulesets that nerf the low level game.

Thats where the whole thing failed. I remember Rogean laughing off criticism of xp loss in pvp like this isnt CoD. We got a pvp server run by a non-pvper. Its clear he had no idea of what Gfay and crushbone was like on Rallos, how fun it was and how it was the heart of EQ pvp. After devs realised they made a huge mistake, they removed it and afterwards the server just felt abandoned, on maintenance mode. Probably told Sirken do whatever the fuck you want which is what he did, pretty much killing what was left of the server.

Despite the bad calls and crap GMs on this server Red was successful for a pvp server. The only problem is it never reset and is stuck in Velious forever now.

Biggest problem was guild zerg, which should have been addressed by limiting the number of people per guild allowed in a zone and locking people out from looting raid targets if they weren't the guild that killed it (first step in blocking people from cheating the system, there's others, but don't need to write it all out).

Velious itself is a big problem, it's too imbalanced and creates too much PvE shit to do, putting people off doing PvP. It also further splits up the game world, which isn't good for a lower population server.

Plugging shouldn't work, it should cause the person to come out on the other side linkdead, and zoning times should be standardized.

Melee damage in PvP was also a bit too high in Kunark era (and absolutely ridiculous in Velious).

I don't know if Velious is bad for pvp. I've heard a couple people saying it, from time to time, as the reason red died. I could not know what I'm talking about and just repeating a few others opinions. I like Velious as an expansion.

Red died because the content could not provide any further satisfaction for the core set of players who were on fumes already. EQ is about journeys always is always will be. I’d have a quarter of the play time to play a new red but would still gladly play a new red with timeline and just casual qb my way to 50.

I’d never play on a server that I can buy ice comet and level to 50 in 3 days. When EQ becomes diablo2 it’s time to move on to a new server.

It died because the players were assholes who couldn't get along and the staff was forced to step back after trying for many years. Think it's a coincidence that everquest live servers never release a pvp server?
