OTHER Ideas

[Nizzarr]

People post apps on our forums, I invite them for a trial. They like it in nihilum and stay or they dont. Apparently, being able to kill raid mobs is something some people are looking for.

Never been any other way.

I'm not gonna stop giving people their chances to join us because you guys couldnt make a guild worth a salt on this server.

So enjoy your EZ server, since thats the only thing you can hack. Let nihilum out of your "not helping" discussions. We've done more good to this server than anyone else besides GMs.

We're enjoying the server as it is. It's not my fault you guys have such a defeatist attitude toward it. The problem is YOU.

YOU trained all the time in pvp.

YOU griefed the fuck out of people.

YOU sucked at PVE.

YOU decided to blatlanty train our raids while GMs were watching because YOU decided it wasnt worth it to PVP anymore.

Stay the fuck on EZ69 and enjoy yourself.

Do us a favor and stop posting here.

For anyone who is confused, here you go... end of discussion:

@Nizz: I'm sorry to say it, but you were definitely the worst person here dude. Far and away, the absolute root of all of the stupid raid exploiting, original "we pulled ghoul lord to evil eye lol np" bull shit. It all completely started with you and then sharing it with Lovely to post it all over the main pages of these forums.

Everyone else gets a pass in my eyes because they were just following someone who was getting way with it or are just competing in general PvP trash talk. You, on the other hand, directly and absolutely are what I am talking about when I talk about the population going down the tubes.

Yes, please, report me for trolling so I get a week in the tank. But, just to be sure, here's your guy folks.

I'd say I saw a pretty good "hackfest" put on here as well.

I never thought going into this there'd be bugs I hadn't heard of before. Boy was I wrong lol.

...

At least when there's hacking on red99, it gets detected and the person doing it gets banned. Also I'd like you to name all the significant bugs on red99 that don't exist on LoZ, then write the same list for bugs on LoZ that don't exist on red. I wonder which list will be 100 times longer than the other?

Niz vs Nirgon for character deletion... the population will come back, I swear.

Yeah Nizzarr is DEFINATELY the reason why.

Losers always hate the winners.

Everyone plays/wanted to play here are "losers" as you put it, some are just too stubborn (dumb?) to accept it.

R99 cons (for those who don't like the current rules at least:

1) exp rate xp bonus has been put in
2) no global ooc global ooc has been put in
3) no hot zones to funnel pvp action we have hot zones, ask Jibeken why he has 4 different toons perma parked in unrest
4) no 2 boxing allowed when population is low, this could easily be turned on and off, making it temporary when needed 2 boxing kills community and starts the viscious cycle of "everyone needs to do it" , no thanks
5) no pvp recognition, yellow text, or pvp stats seeing dragon loots on someone when you inspect them is all the true pvp recognition that matters
6) I personally don't like the negative exp when dying from a death, some may actually like this. xp loss on death gives more meaning to pvp, death needs sting

All the r99 cons, for me at least, would take a couple hours to implement.

All your cons in the end are trivial and look to be desperate grasping for excuses.

The server is here, people are on it. Play or dont play, those left playing do not give a damn either way. The ones currently playing on red99 are the type that will NEVER play on a hack filled joke box like LoZ, just never gonna happen.

The funny thing is, former FFs tell that only like 4 FF's total are even left playing on LoZ. I dont blame them, when a game is easy, it does not keep you invested or occupied very long. See: all the wow clones in the last 10 years that everyone quits after the first months sub runs out.

Classic Red legit EQ is for the long haul.

Looking forward to classic Kunark very soon, then Velious later on. Gonna be a blast.

i feel ya hippo but some of the things on the list have been implimented.

1. xp has been increased a lot. you definately notice a big difference at lvls 1-35 which is the most important levels to help since after 35 you can group with any higher level.

2. global ooc is in

3. i like the idea of hotzones but then again a dont. people are going to level where they want regardless of where the xp is. I plan on leveling Unrest > MM > solb/lower guk even if the hot zones are najena>sola>splitpaw. its a good idea but i dont think itll funnel people in the right places if the hotzones are some wierd place noone wants to go.

4. boxing is lame. dont think it should ever be implimented. thats my opinion and im sticking to it!

5. i agree, yellow text would be fun. not sure on stats because people can just cheat the system with an alt.

6. maybe its because ive never been dumb enough to be bind camped but the xp loss is pretty minimal. unless you are suiciding yourself over and over i am not sure how this is a problem. if you felt like a dick for killing them you probably were being a dick lol. i dont pvp everyone i see just because i can thats just dumb.

Yeah I agree with Samwise too and of all the points I also agree that Yellow Text might be fun after all. So i'd support that compromise point. (of course after it goes in, nothing will change just like when global /ooc went in and the xp bonus went in, the Viles of the world will find some new reason to not play classic red EQ).

/agree

Seems like people just need to be reminded of how awesome classic EQ is.
Maybe the cure is to go play WoW till you /wrists

But the whole point is that people are not on this server. It is one of the lowest population servers there is. There are more people playing several of the standard servers. This server potential is 20x greater then what it has realized. Some people may be to harsh on this server, we all like things about it, but you are a fan boy that is stubborn and in denial.

Dragon loot has nothing to do with pvp kills, not sure why you brought that up.

Exp rate is not good on this server, I don't care what you say it is and everyone else agrees.

Two boxing allows people to do content they can't do alone and with a small population. It never has a place in raiding or PvP other then a couple buffs maybe. It doesn't replace people. At max level 2 boxing in PvP will just get you killed.

PvP does need a sting. It also needs a reward. As I mentioned in my post the current system is neutral/lose. Having pvp stats and global recognition is a great way to do that. If you want it hardcore, then some sort of item loot. Exp penalty is not a good system. Putting up items in PvP fight is fun, putting up time grinding on mobs is boring, frustrating, with no reward for the winner. Also, no one even knows of your victory since there are only 20 people on in the server. Empty, pointless, frustrating.

The server has all the things a server needs to be great that takes time, effort and talent. It is missing some easy, key aspects though. You can say it is perfect all you want but that shit box LoZ with all its problems, has 5x as many players on it because of insight on what is fun in a game. If you want to say there are 2 boxers on it, then you can say it has 3x as many people.
