Hahahahha couldn't of one liner and summed up the server better than that lol

it's not all THAT bad, it's bad but not to the point I don't still play.

[Kergan]

I have enjoyed myself. If you grabbed 5 pals and started today (2 boxing allowed) you could be 60 and raiding Velious dragons by Saturday night if you hit it hard.

[derpcake]

A day well spent.

It is a welcome break from R99. It's not classic and doesn't pretend to be. You spawn with gear when you die in PVP so generally people actually fight and either win/lose. You can control cities and give guards items to buff you or port you, etc - minimizing a lot of the prebuffing/porting around nonsense. Raids are 10-12 characters so 5-6 people 2 boxing. A lot of the qualify of life things added post classic era are in like shared bank, /corpsedrag, keyrings, etc. A lot of the huge timesinks such as camping key mobs or farming gear in general have been tuned to not be nearly as bad. Manastones work everywhere. There are raid mobs up 24/7 worth killing.

Most importantly, there are PVP merchants everywhere where you can buy gear like AONs, guises, ancient spells, and some cool unique items. The server encourages PVP and doesn't punish you for losing aside from the bragging rights and a trip (with gear) to your bind. There is also a working in-game leaderboard. :)

Yea I'm aware of the comfort of pvp life, it just turns EQ into CS though.

Fun for a while I guess :)

Tldr. Game genie tho!

[Somekid123]

Sold 70 pop? I never seen it go past 45-50 at most. Which is still 25 at the most, lol.

[Somekid123]

Solid*

[Chancellor]

Love the server. Lots to do. Fun PVP without the bs. Cleaver ideas to have fun with PvP. They got rid of a lot of boring camps and focus on a environment that is not so pve based. Best server I have played on!

[Kergan]

The point is that even with 30 real people playing the same amount of PVP and shit getting done happens. Plus everything is condensed to 50+, if you ruled out everyone under level 50 logged into R99 whats the pop? 100? Not that many more honestly.

I wouldn't quite say its CounterStrike EQ, but it is somewhere in between. Definitely more fast paced then traditional EQ in every aspect, PVE and PVP. It's not really designed to be a place you need to spend 8 hours a day to get shit done.

I love original EQ too, this is just a different experience. It is worth trying out.

Maybe some day hopefully!

[magician]

NO THANKS !!!!



BYE !!!!!!!!!

[Kergan]

Surprised your forum account isn't banned yet.

[Gwynraven]

Log on ROZ and send firenze a tell Ill help you guys out until you get in range

[SamwiseRed]

why would you play a server with less pop and no stability?

[Gwynraven]

Because this server is just way more fun then r99.
And the population could increase if you guys try it out

[SamwiseRed]

boxing, insta 50s ect. why not just play live?

[Gwynraven]

its limited to dual boxing, it saves time for portbot etc etc.
Instant 50 is great because lets face it you dont want to do the level grind once again, this is a pvp server you want to log on and pvp not farm leveling zone for hours and hours when noone is in your level range.

On this server you can win without playing 12hrs a day. Thats the main reason we play there

[HippoNipple]

Even though you progress quickly I wouldn't join unless you had a group with at least 4-5 people putting in 30+ hours a week. If you log in for 10-20 hours a week you will end up just getting farmed by a couple groups that play 24/7, especially since maps show your location.

If you are a hardcore player with a few friends that also have high play times it could be a fun server. You basically gotta be able to log in and raid every time you are on so you have to have a group that can have 4-5 people on at any given time.

The pros are that you don't need a large group to down content because charm is so overpowered. This is a great server if you want to see your chars decked out in pixels doing extreme amounts of damage. If you like classic everquest you will hate it.

[Silent]

I had some free time, Gave it a shot. Made a wizard seeing as they can kill without much gear, The run from neriak wasn't too bad to get the 50/skills. But it gave me 50 plat, and yes spells are cheap however upon buying a couple I realized the rest were in erudin. KOS as fuk insta death.

Would be fun to play a few chars there exp was nice made it to 5 just running through nek but I don't see how a iksar monk is going to make it to EC tunnel, or any of the classes I wanted to play. Gave halfling druid a shot since it too was closest to EC died in kith on the run along the wall.

Seems like it could be a really fun server, But just getting to EC on some toons is a hassle even if it is for insta 1-50. should be 100 plat at least also if your gonna give some spell money(spell prices are reduced, but just getting gate/bind/see invis/shielding etc spells alone was like 15pp)

Don't remember my old accounts I had messed around on either so the no manastone vet thing even though I didn't actually play is kind of a turn off too but meh

[OfftuneRZ]

This is a great server if you are casual and still want to experience eq pvp, If you like to spend the majority of your week being a neckbeard and wasting time on kunark after 2+ years with the same low lives on r99 than you will hate it.

ftfy

[HippoNipple]

ftfy

The argument that since you can level faster and kill with less people makes it casual is bullshit because it is still a competitive game. It still comes down to what crew can kill the dumbed down content the most times. Just because the PvE aspect is easier doesn't make it casual. You still need to farm Kunark/Velious enough times to gear 4 chars on that server.

Once you do finally get all the stuff you want people get bored and quit anyways, then the server wipes. You look back and realize all you did was PvE.

I doubt there are many casuals on that server enjoying any PvP. It will mostly just be people that are putting in 8 hours a day wiping people with Primal weapons as they take over spots to do more PvE.

[Kergan]

If you think you need to play 30 hours a week you're completely wrong. I don't play even close to that and I'm doing ok.

I'm going to make a suggestion to dev/image to raise the guard KOS in hostile cities to 51 so fresh 50s can buy spells/train etc without issues.

Yeah but you are in a guild with people that play 24/7. I'm not saying you can't play and not be on 30 hours a week, but you would need to be guilded with others that do.

[Kergan]

That just isn't true man. Plus I was level 60 with full thurg quest armor before I even joined that guild playing far under 30 hours a week.

Stop believing the bs a few individuals post. There is no way you played enough yourself to form this opinion, because if you had played enough you wouldn't have the opinion.

[Darksinga]

I log in 2-3 times a week for a few hours just to PvP.

Server is fun, all we need is more population. Shoot me a PM here or send me a tell on Darksinga if you see me on, I'll help you get started.

PS in KOS cities you are able to invis past the guards to make it to spell merchants. Also I would strongly recommend insta 50'ing a druid first so you can port over your other toons to West Commons.

[Sirken]

some people just want to log in, pvp a little bit and log out. essentially they want an EZ Server (referring to the actual eqemu server, not firing shots) ruleset but with a pvp focus. and i know theres a niche of players that are looking for exactly that.

however, in my opinion, thats not EverQuest. and anyone looking for EverQuest won't stick around on that server. just as hopefully anyone looking for an EZ Server (again the eqemu server) with PvP, will stick around on RoZ.



also
if you ruled out everyone under level 50 logged into R99 whats the pop? 100? Not that many more honestly.

last week players QQ that red99 is too top heavy and gets no new players. This week players QQ that red99 is too sub50 heavy and would only have 1/3rd of its current population without sub50 players

:confused:

EZ Server EZ Server

confirmed: shots fired.

[Secrets]

I wouldn't say EZ Server is an accurate description of that server. The owner of EZ when he was still alive told me he specifically made the server named EZ to attract people. He wanted it to be a 'hook' for people to check it out by having a flashy name

After that, he made the server too hard in an attempt to kill it off. That backfired and that's why EZ is where it is today; people had fun bashing their heads against impossibly hard content.

tl;dr EZ Server isn't intended to be EZ.

Legacy of Zek or whatever is awesome, though. EQEmu Guildwars PvP is something that image/devn00b have kept through the years and to be honest it's kind of fun, but very niche. Honestly I think if the red server had a flat 250% increase in base experience gains before group modifiers that you'd see more players on it and LoZ wouldn't even be a thing.

People who play PvP want to PvP at endgame, they don't want to sit on their ass getting griefed by level 15 twinked out characters from endgame raiders or sit in crushbone grinding NPCs. That's just fact.

if it as up to me, r99 would have always had the same live like xp as blue ;)
