I'll be going red, as i played on Talon Zek during live. It's been freakin ages though and i can barely remember what being red was like.
Besides my concern of turning into a jerk, my main concern is population and resources as well. I just hope this server doesn't spread the GM's resources or player pop too thin. | ||

There's a TON of people out there that have been waiting for a stable pvp environment pre-luclin for a long time. For many players, this was the best pvp era. These people have tried the 10 or so pvp emu server's over the past years and none of them of panned out. The problems with those server's varied greatly. The real problem will be convincing people that this server will not have the same problems as the past ones. With the success that the blue P1999 server has... I think you will have not problem with convincing players as you have hard evidence of a current stable blue server. The pvp community is pretty tight and if people are having fun they will spread the word quickly. Just the fact that these forums have been created has created a pretty big stir.

1. Fags - in other words whats known as the player base for any EQ pvp server. These people will neither donate or support the GMs that make red99 possible. 3. Money - Getting donations for just p99 is hard enough, the player base for red99 isn't going to donate anything. They will abuse whatever aspects they can to grief for as long as possible before red99 is inevitably brought down due to lack of funds/frustration over cheating/lack of interest on the part of the GMs which brings me to my next point. So 1 and 3 are basically the same. VZTZ is one of the top donating boxxes ever, numerous examples have already been provided. While PVP servers have a smaller core, we do everything to keep our fix alive, well 90% of us, some douchebags like kringe and a handful of sperglords fuck shit up. 2. Cheating - Zone crashing, MQ, ShowEQ, training, duping - you name it, its going to happen on red99 constantly. All of these will be rampant problems on red99. Always have been problems on other previous boxes, these problems and problem players haven't suddenly gone away. Granted they exist on p99 right now, their significance is going to be amplified when they're used to grief the player base which is going to result in floods of petitions for GMs on red99 on a daily basis. Cheating has almost always been dealt with, I never cheated on any version of VZTZ, 1.0-2.0-3.0 . Some minor exploits I've taken advantage like making plat from alchemy on early 1.0 (prior to the plat wipe). I've reported a ton of exploits that got fixed. The only blatant times cheating ruined the game for me was related to Kringe/Bodu Lucid Vision shit. LV on 1.0 abused speedhacks, maphacks. Later on 2.0 zonecmd_delete with the black screen of death ruined the second box. But I had an awesome time excluding those experiences. Over 3 years only maybe 1 month of the box was terrible.

Now about the server failing just for being PVP is kinda off. I mean I personally only see p1999 as the only real successful emulator server. Nothing like this has ever had the population or the community besides live. So with this stemming from a successful emulator server it could go both ways. We haven't been presented with this type of scenario before, pending they will be using the most in depth and close to classic code as possible. With that being said if the community really wants this I think it can be done and will stick. | |||
