Interesting post, and a warning..
Secrets posted this over on FoH, but its pertinent to what is going on right now here. The bolded part is why we need Uthgaard back as pvp sever GM. The faster we get that 1/3rd greifer elemtent gone, the better. Secrets went onto say that that griefer element drove off a large percentage of other players, leading to a spiral downward in the boxes.
The "griefers" back in 1999 were a small percentage. From the forum posts here, its likely to be half the players... and with the only professed "anti" RPK guild lead by a known trainer and someone who has been banned multiple times... well, it makes me worried for the server. A shame there can't be a subscription attached to these accounts, that would filter out so much trash that just wants to ruin things. Quote:

Who is Uthgaard, and why is he so good at stopping/preventing those things? And FoH is Fires of Heaven?
This was a good post. VZTZ was, of course, ruined in part by griefing and hacking. Another issue I think was the attitude that the game was supposed to take place at max level with raid gear. Casual play was always viable on live; without it almost everyone quits.

It's not at all a stretch to imagine this server being destroyed by the VZTZ crowd. They've already done it to 3+ incarnations of emulated eq pvp play...

I really wish we could have the population for multiple servers. I think everyone wants to play the ruleset they did on live for years.
There is no point in thinking you are going to eliminate the griefers. They represent a pretty die hard and large segment of the population. Honestly with bind camping being legal and xp deaths this environment kind of fosters them.

This pvp server will start fine but will end up bad if the players act like a bunch of fucking retards. Players need to:
1) Not hack/cheat - There is no reason to hack/cheat on a 13 year old games emulated pvp server. This is the main reason why servers fail. 2) Stop whining - if your guild got shit napped by another in fear, live with it and go do something else. No reason to have a 4 hour shit storm involving GM's who could be better servered helping people with legit problems. 3) Stop griefing - If you kill someone, say GF and move on. I cannot tell you how good it was to have a very close 1v1 fight with someone, win and end up being friends. I did not corpse camp him, I did not /tell him how much he sucked. I said, GF, you can come get your body. 4) If you die, deal with it - It is a pvp server, you die LEGIT - deal with it. If you suspect hacks, report it to a GM and have them look into it. 5) No training - Accidents happen, that is understandabe. But repeated trains (see sojourner in K&B) is completely retarded. Go do something else if you cannot win legit. There are probably more but these are the basics. If the players just followed these steps, the server could be great. If not, it will be complete shit in a matter of months. | ||

As for this server, it'll be better than VZTZ. There'll be many more players, and the majority won't be from VZTZ which was a fairly small and insular server with a tight-knit (if volatile) community. They had a kind of hivemind and it was accepted and expected for people to behave in a certain way. With many more players who weren't part of that, this server will be different. There will still be a lot of dicks around, but they won't ruin the server unless the GMs neglect their duties and allow them to do so. The anti-hacking measures alone should prevent the biggest problem that VZTZ had. A good chunk of the VZTZ players won't stick around when it turns out leveling takes months and griefing is not met with unanimous praise and circlejerk high-fives. Some of the VZTZers can function fine in a more civilized environment and mostly enjoyed that server's atmosphere as a kind of hobby where they could get away with all kinds of shit. Others were unintelligent assclowns outside of the game too, so just make note of these (they're very recognizable) and ignore them. | |||

We would not need more GM's if people just behave.
