Theres no need for names or other self masturbatory things to be listed in them but some method for people to find the pvp hotspots on a server with 1/5 - 1/4th the population live had at the same time will be important.

THEY'VE BEEN THE SAME FUCKING HOTSPOTS FOR 12 YEARS, THEY AREN'T GOING TO CHANGE

Seriously that is the absolutely worst fucking excuse for yellow text

It would be hard to find volunteers to monitor bad behavior all the time and to do so fairly in all cases.

The best thing to do is try to make game mechanics to prevent as much bad behavior as possible so that it doesn't have to be dealt with. Don't ask me how but that would be ideal! I think Rogean is on to a nice start with his level restriction code.

I wouldn't know how to stop training without messing up game mechanics. The only ideas I had was have all monsters snare but that ruins pulling and kiting. I also thought about if you were in combat you couldn't zone but that would be upsetting. I don't know!

You dumb bro? Rly rly dumb?

Maybe if you had slightly better reading comprehension you would see we're talking about zones that aren't guk/solb. Maybe in fantasy land you do drive by scouting of kedge and tox,... but srsly get fucked moron.

When I made a rule against raining AoE corpses at zonelines until we could figure out how to fix it, what did you (and others) do? You rained zonelines and were winning PvP because players would pop in zones with 25%

Another perfect expample of why GM's have no business in PvP.

So later in timeline of 1.0 my guild and i were guarding fear loots, 'cause they were ours, and waiting on Kaahbal, Smedy and friends at the zone in, 'cause they coveted them.

When the first guy zoned in, I rained phyre down on him. Again and again. I slew so many noobs Kaahbal's tears came flowing like old faithful.


Kaahbal tells Searyx, 'Phyre is raining corpses. He killed lots of people at zone in - all the proof you need. Ban plz, k thx.'
Searyx tells you, 'Ugh. I can't stand him. He always killed me. Even in dungeons. Punched harder than i did, to the face. I'll take care of it.'

GMs have no business in PvP.

GMs have no business in PvP.

Concur.

But with a box as fucked as vztz was (lol bind wound someone, they zone out before done, zone crashes), there were so many game breaking issues that made it easy for players to grief your face off the server.

Just having 60 people in one zone pvping was damn near impossible before the community gave Gronkus a bunch of money.




Saeryx putting knockback on all Plane of Sky mobs was the worst thing in the world. Have you ever done Plane of Sky where you get knockbacked every 15seconds?

#winning sky

Remove knockback when our competition finally decides to farm up there. Thanks vztz staff.

I also agree with everything Sirken posted

YT ZONE WIDE would be nice and a great compromise

PLUGGING should be a 10 minute downtime before you can log back in.

If you considered "the one overworked guy trying to hold the server up (for free) because nobody else wanted to do it, while Null and the other staff disappeared, who also had to manage the childlike antics/needs of the server host (Gronkus), while working a 9-to-7 job to make actual money", you are correct.

Yeah the fact you did it for free saves you. Thank you.

The lesson is, people quit when they think they have been treated unfairly.

And GMs quit when they tire of the consequences of others feeling they mistreated them.

right Searyx?

[Rushmore]

GMS can and should intervene when needed. Very Rarely of course but yes certain circumstances call for it. Those circumstances should be for training purposes only.

LNS from what I remember on 3.0 worked between guilds and guild leaders.
