No one cares or reads anything you children want.

^correct. It’s a weird thing people do here of posting opinions nobody asked for.

That being said, global /ooc and YT are basically mandatory. The game would suck without them. Just because someone is too fragile about someone else’s opinions of them is beyond irrelevant. Whether or not you’re willing to accept it, most people don’t care about EQ PvP. The population on these servers will always be low. You will want to know where the action is.

that's just human nature.

if the devs are thinking about pvp stuff for the future tho, which rog says they are, it makes sense that they'd take a look at these threads.

...why?

One of the main ideas I think they need to look at here is what server they are trying to replicate. Blue99 is simple, all the servers were the same. If Red99 is trying to recreate a classic experience of a PvP server and the attention to detail is so important to them they need to state what server they are cloning and stick to it.

RZ - Item loot +/- 4 levels
Teams - Race +/- 8 levels
Teams - Religion no level limit

That is what they have to choose from unless they are going custom on the Red99 server. Since the idea of 1999 is to recreate the launch of Everquest through Velious on a timeline it would make sense to do RZ style and adjust things like the weapons not being lootable when that patch came out on live.

Consider when they announced Discord there wasn’t a ton of people pushing for that. They just kinda said that’s what’s happening. And given the “gone but not forgotten” response from Rogean, it’s possibly even coming even with the lowest votes in this thread. They also weren’t wiping red for it, so it would’ve been an additional server. He also stated he was working on “ideas” (plural), so who really knows? The fact is everyone will play on any server they drop, so listening to 3 people who want teams and 2 who want item loot and 4 who want no rules and 1 more who wants “4 level kill range except in Qeynos Hills on Friday night but we can level to 20 first so non PvPers can play on PvP and maybe throw in run speed AAs and translocations plus a transfer char option in June” (what the actual fuck) isn’t really helpful information. The polls and walls of text just show division. Just a standard red reset would make the community happy so what’s the point of factoring in 100 vastly different opinions on what their personal fantasy server is?

This is logical.

People discussing the game on a forum hosted by the game they play is exactly why the forums are around.

Lol ok sorry. Yeah, it’s fine to discuss. It’s like fantasy football. There are topics to discuss, but nobody cares about your team, or in this case, you’re dream server. It’s more practical to discuss WHY item loot is good/bad, or HOW it effects the game (which has been done, to be fair). Not THAT you want item loot. Cool bro.

And I’m not sure why anyone thinks their opinions generally matter. If the goal is a classic recreation, that’s probably what’s going to happen. I mean, maybe I’m wrong. Maybe they do scour and find good ideas here. But it seems like most ideas are just people fantasizing aloud to a room of people waiting to talk. And to make matters worse, they’re oddly particular concepts.

Global ooc and yellow text are 2 things that should never be present on an everquest server

only children wanted them
