Bring back the old days!
- No GM corruption or GMs with terrible decision-making skills
- Staff dedicated to the well being of the server with carefully thought out change implementations
- Bring back Xp loss in pvp, with which death meant something. No it didnt mean a quick drain of server population you filthy mexican.
- A firewall to prevent filthy blubies from rerolling on our once great server. Youve got to pick a side from today onwards. Roll on blue? Banned on red. Love it or leave it!
- Nerf this un-american fast xp, america was built on boring, repetitive PVE, with small bouts of twinky zergy pvp with a foe thats not ready for that level of cruel mercilessness, thats what Red99 should strive for as well.
- No global channel. Did they have longe range communication back in the good ole days?
- Require females to play only character models that are attractive

Everquest is a hardcore game. We all know entire guilds can be griefed out from a server, thats not a competitive mechanic thanks in advance. Youre not trully red im sorry.

It was never great to begin with. PvP should actually matter and be fun on a Red server if it's going to be worth playing.
1.) Weekly Guild vs Guild tournaments with set numbers of players and equipment. (http://www.project1999.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1521034&postcount=1) Winners would get raiding rights for certain zones and other various prizes.
2.) Don't allow guilds to zerg a zone. (http://www.project1999.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1999935&postcount=16)
3.) Give people a considerable amount of exp for killing other players (non-guildmates), which would be shared with groups (so that clerics and such still benefit). Every time a group kills a legal target, the whole group would get a "kill point" and these points could be traded in for monetary/item rewards. This provides incentive for casual PvP and an alternative to PvE as a method of leveling and getting loot. Obviously you would have certain rules in place with this so that it wouldn't be exploited by friends killing each others' alts constantly.
4.) Rework/balance the combat mechanics of the server to make it more interesting, less tedious, and open to every class and various group setups being competitive.

retarded ideas like the above are why we will never have high pop server, tons of people have little dumb changes or tweaks they cant just be happy with a classic rallos setup

This is a lot like saying "just pick Christianity, Judaism, or Islam."
Yeah, look at where that has gotten the world. There's no point in adhering to outmoded, broken systems. Evolve.
Everquest PvP servers were never especially popular and the ONLY way to make a p99 Red server successful is going to be through alteration and innovation; creating an entirely better product rather than adhering to "classic". They already have a box that is meant to be as hard-coded classic as possible and can sit around as a historical document. Any other server should be about providing a product that is objectively fun and engaging, while keeping the general spirit of what Everquest was meant to be and naturally should have evolved into.
We've seen for years and years the state of the Red server. Activity increased with the exp bonus, LnS + PvP level range, global chat, and Velious...but it wasn't sustainable because the basic problem is there's nothing worth playing for. There's no real PvP that happens, and it doesn't much matter the times it rarely does happen, and all of the classic content has been released and played through. People got to see the things in the game they hadn't been able to previously. There's no point in sitting around farming more gear. For what purpose? Nobody fucking cares, there's nothing to use it for. It's a WASTE of life.

Why do we try to improve anything in life? Gee, let's think about this for a second.
The game sucks but it doesn't have to. It's an inherently modifiable entity and the only thing preventing it from being better is this overriding defunct idea of "Classic". There's no other game out there right now that offers the opportunity to implement the kind of MMO system I'd want to play and would have the playerbase to support it. If some game magically came along that did have what I wanted then I'd obviously play it. For now, p99 is the only possibility of that happening.

Again, they already have their hard-coded classic Blue server. They've been very open to making various changes to the Red server and since the server's population is so terrible again, and has historically almost always been terrible while adhering to this idea of "classic Red EQ", I would hope they realize it's time to start implementing more big changes. If it's a question of taking time to code then just bring in volunteers to help. I would put some time into it.

Funny then how they did make changes and wanted input for how a new Red server should be. They also already said for this server that they would put in weekly PvP tournaments if we figured out the logistics for them (http://www.project1999.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1521125&postcount=7). I probably should have followed up and written a comprehensive list of specifics, but I wasn't especially motivated to at the time.
I'm still not very motivated to play this game if just that change alone was all they put in, but talking about potential possible improvements is better than nothing. It would be nice, for starters, if the community would actually participate in a discussion about how to balance equal-equipment, equal-number-of-players style PvP in this game.

I can tell you're smart and I know its frustrating when people can't hear you, but I know what you're saying. It won't happen though because nobody cares about EQ no matter how much you improve it, despite the base game being the best available. Too many people refuse to change classic, including the devs, even if it would make the game better. The only way to accomplish what you're saying is to make your own server.
I'd suggest forgetting about EQ and looking forward to Pantheon if you don't like the current state. It actually has systems similar to EQ and might actually revive it, despite EQ always being king and having that special feel that even Pantheon doesn't seem to replace after watching gameplay videos. Its still missing something, but there's just nothing else.

You love repeating this false story, whoever you are (Join Date: May 2016, congrats on getting banned). I did PvP more than anyone else and was even the kill leader in Empire for awhile during Velious. During the pre-Velious era I stopped playing a month after I got my epic because of being bored by the game and the fact that there wasn't much actual PvP going on. "Only logging on for raid day" is what the guild itself did. I did that for a couple weeks before I stopped altogether.
---
Heebo's story is funny and actually sort of true, although it does leave out info. That happened right after I came back to the game, just before Velious launched. I didn't know any names in the guild at that point, he had his guild tag off, and I had been afk invited to his party beforehand. We were mobilizing to go do a mass PvP in Field of Bone at the Emerald Jungle zoneline and shortly after zoning in some bard was attacking me, who I then proceeded to nuke and chase. I eventually lost sight of the bard and then thought I spotted him again and started chasing, but it turned out to just be Heebo. Oh well. That's what you get for having your guild tag off.

Ratio means nothing when 90% of your deaths are from being afk or suiciding to slow opponent down (aka, how I started going after Friends over and over in PoM late night when they all logged in as our guild logged off, so they wouldn't be able to get as many cards). Out my 70 deaths, 20 of them alone were from one night of me being afk and being killed over and over at my bind. Who cares.

Ratio means nothing when 90% of your deaths are from being afk or suiciding to slow opponent down (aka, how I started going after Friends over and over in PoM late night when they all logged in as our guild logged off, so they wouldn't be able to get as many cards). Out my 70 deaths, 20 of them alone were from one night of me being afk and being killed over and over at my bind. Who cares.
i like my drink and all that, but you fell asleep or some shit and died 20 times, yet refute the fact you are bad at pvp?
you pretty lucky not to get deleveled, dear god

What does being afk have to do with skill in a game? Nothing. This community is so retarded. Most of you don't even understand what real PvP is.
This game is more about item acquisition and having more players than the opponent (and certain classes) and the busy work of stacking buffs, things that are entirely separate from intellectual involvement and equal rules within a game, as in Guild Wars 1, or Magic the Gathering, or even League of Legends. Or, you know, any sport in the real world. People have even numbers of players on the basketball court and the court layouts are exactly the same on each side. Not one team with 12 players against 6 and the smaller team's court having a bunch of different hoops that can been scored in, as opposed to just 1 on the other side of the court.
The end result of this system of imbalance and tedious gameplay is an empty state of existence. Hence why the server is dead. It's like playing on God Mode in a game and thinking you've actually achieved anything. You haven't. Plugging and actively avoiding PvP unless you have a huge advantage in your numbers is not a measure of real skill.

TLDR; PvPing against him is like being in God mode or playing basketball with retarded midgets because he is so bad at PvP.

Permanent death server would die faster than a devnoob server but I agree with needing a death penalty. Red99 has been watered down too much on here. Too many people just logging in to raid with no risk or real reason to even want better items.
Non rez exp death with 1 item loot on PvP death would be a lot of fun, especially if they stopped in Kunark so Velious no drop items weren't an issue.
No risk yet people plug faster than they did when there was no experience bonus, hybrid penalties were in effect and there was exp loss on pvp. Go figure.
YT and the participation award generation being afraid of a 300 player population seeing them die. The eqpvp server is so fun mostly because people don't care about dying, so they fight against odds and corpse rush because who cares it's about having fun.
Although, I will give the players the benefit here and say one of the biggest deterrents is the decision to give PvP corpses a 6 minute rez timer. From an architectural point of view how could this even make sense? In which universe does forcing someone to log out of the game completely (out of character select) in order to preserve their rez timer make sense? The logic is die in pvp = -1 population guarenteed. It means people will NOT fight unless their odds of winning are much higher than the chance of losing the fight in total. This is what breeds the zerg and fear of death. Nobody wants to run naked to their corpse across multiple expansions and velious sized zones.
God the project management here really fucking blows.

^ still trying to fix a server he was griefed off 3 years ago on. Update for ecoli last week I killed a rag player 3 times and probably made him quit as his corpses with newb robe decayed. I log in everyday for only that sole purpose...

Yes im trying to fix the server by doing a drive-by quote of Rogean, you Nimrod
What part sounds like call of duty? You think having a full duration pvp corpse makes this call of duty?

Im quoting Rogean, who with Sirken responded often to common sense suggestions like "lol, this isnt call of duty"

So you were quoting something without quotes or a source that was irrelevant to the current situation? I don't think that makes your comment any better.

P.S. It is an actual quote and a relevant one
