It's not like they are being FORCED to ruin their classic experience. This is completely voluntary.

Also, This is taken from Quake, which is in the same era as classic EQ. A lot of the original EQ devs are quake fans. BFG for example. While it wasn't in classic it's a nice little diversion. It's not like we're summoning you in there and saying "LOL DO IT"

OMG i DO want to loot the BFG!!

this is totaly awesome and it isnt like you would get uber gear for doing this.. this is zone in, have some fun, zone out, thats it!
so "this isnt classic" is like the last thing you should think about!

dis is great, hooray to nilbog secrets and mixxit!!!!!

For the best of the best tournaments, titles will be awarded appropriately. On that note, there is an issue with the best of the best titles. Usually a server had 1 winner of each class, that then went to tiered battles against other servers where they could win the 2nd, or 3rd title for their class. Well, we don't have more than 1 server competing against itself... should we have 3 botb.. or just the one? A quick thought on what I'm talking about..

Three titles were given out in the best of the best competitions on live servers

-first title was the lvl 51 character title you got.
-second title was the 55 title
-third title was the 60 title

example of this.. paladins. Cavalier, Knight, Crusader

Since we will not be competing with other servers

Just before Kunark opens, we could have a prekunark best of the best. This could yield the 51 title to the winner.

Before Velious opens, we have a kunark best of the best. This could yield the 55 title to the winner.

When game is nearing high raiding level of velious, we have a velious best of the best. This could yield the 60 title to the winner.

Like I said, just a thought. We do have time.

Do you mean, events that happened on classic servers? We tried to do a bloody kithicor.. 150 came and it blew up the zone. I think things are running smoother now, and more optimized to handle more capacity, but it is yet untested.

Well if this was classic, you wouldn't know plane of time isn't classic. Maybe Rallos Zek was a lazy bastard on live, and never got to do CTF. I needed to choose a map that I could alter and put things in, and not have people complain about added elements to a classic zone that shouldn't be there.

All in all, do you not want this? Do you want *only* gm events from classic? No offense to the original devs, but we can do better ones.

I think this BotB Idea is great. I know a lot of people remember it and just can't wait for it. And having 3 different ones...and 3 different times....lets people practice more and have more opportunity to shine (or get revenge on someone who beat em before lol).

Also...we are missing a lot of the old classic events. The 2 that I remember doing a few times were...Of course the HALFLING Jump! IN Rivervale. And the level 1 Barbarian Race from Halas to the EK Bridge...(with several Check Points you have to stop at and get items.).

The CTF Event...well, just about everything has been said. It was a lot of fun none the less, and I am glad to see ya'll trying to get us some fun activities! Thanks!

I remember there being a dance competition! With people making use of duck and feign death to come up with the best dance routine, haha. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Read the rest of your post. You did put down the hard work done on the server, because when the Devs decided they wanted to have some fun, you put down their efforts.

Then your enticement of "Flame away" means that you intentionally were putting the Devs down and knew it.

Congratulations, you made my list.

I did not put down the work. Just the idea of a pvp capture the flag event. I am very sorry If I did put down the work. I am very sure that the work everyone did was great. I understand capture the flag originated in the 1930's or whatever. My opinion though is that it reminds 90+% of mmorpg players of wow. Deny it if you want but you know it's true.

Flame away is me saying people are going to have strong opinions from the other view.

Sorry if you don't like criticism. You just put people on your shit list for criticism.

^^ this is the thread where the idea came from. Not really putting down the devs for I.B's wants/idea. As you can tell most the people were from that guild that wanted this event. Kinda odd also that everyone from I.B that wanted to join got to. But others were denied. Must have some kinda Secrets :P

hehe sorry if anyone got offended , I agree I am not being forced and it does not effect me at all. Please don't ban me for criticism. My wife was telling me to write how unclassic it was. Very adimitly when she saw the announcements. So I did.
