Discussion: Yellow Text

[Cwall]

Trying to see actual numbers on what the community prefers.

Not necessarily trying to see what people think the server SHOULD have, but instead what they would enjoy personally, so vote on that.

Discussing both of those, though, is fine, as long as shit stays on topic.

Big things

[Pudge]

voted serverwide. though zonewide would be a good compromise, i guess..

[SearyxTZ]

IF YOU VOTE AGAINST THIS WE WILL FUCKING KILL YOU REPEATEDLY ON THIS PVP SERVER YOU BETTER FUCKING VOTE FOR THE SERVERWIDE OPTION OR *ELSE*

lol, just better get your pvp skills straight

One thing I would like to hear is the opinion of someone who has played on a legit (well, as legit as an emu can be) pvp server that has had YT and is against it, and why. I feel like most of the people against it are people who have never experienced how awesome it is.

Im not against it.. but im not for it here
and i prolly wont vote in the poll lol

from what i remember on live..it was cool to see who killed who and was fun when you could tell which guilds were starting to engage each other.
thats bout all.. could see who the PKs were
altho they already made a rep for themselves before YT was in so no news there.

but this isnt live
and imo i think the Pks and griefers wanting to broadcast their name will chase what small population there is to be had here
therefore i opt out

srsly.. vz/tz had like what? 70-150 players online (boxing)
and this server will have NO boxing

realistically the NO boxing will draw some in, but im still guessin the same 70-150 server count (im hopeing higher)
do you really want to hinder that in anyway?

VZTZ In it's prime had many more than 70-150 players. Yellow text isn't like a leaderboard, which I agree actively encourages people to do stupid shit that they usually wouldn't do. YT, for me, is a perfect compromise between a leaderboard and no form of tracking: it doesn't keep tally, but alerts people that pvp is happening, where and between who. It encourages healthy pvp and I don't think ever was the reason someone went out of their way to grief someone that I can remember.

VZTZ hit 330 concurrent at its peak, although it did allow 2boxing


the broadcasts (and global chat) helped the server feel alive and active, and IMO is one of the only "non-classic" things about any emu pvp servers that really worked


I think what will hinder pop is starting out in a zone with a handful of players in it, and not hearing anything from anyone for a long long time. The forums will become the new venue for trash talk and competition - it will just be less convenient and intuitive than if YT and global chat were in. I always felt like part of what made EQ PvP so great was the ability to freely communicate with eachother.

The only reason Verant didn't do it was because their servers actually had 1000+ people playing at the same time so logistically it wasn't possible because of the spam it would generate
