I would love to see the Devs turn on pvp for a weekend and do an earthquake during the weekend. Just something to spice up the server.

[Bboboo]

I'm sure everyone in the petition forum and GMs/Guides would love this idea.

[Lunababy]

how about they just enable random deaths? its the same gameplay experience

so fun
much gank
wow

not at all. random death isn't something you could have beaten. dying to walmart resist gear rogue would rightfully knock a lot of you raiders down a peg.

Denizens of a dying red server grow increasingly, visibly desperate. It would be sad if it wasn't so funny.

EQ was never made for PVP.

Honestly, the only way to fix Red is to get people into PvP without forcing them into PvP.

Here me out, turn PvP off on Red99 most of the time, but add monthly Full Moon events.

PvP enabled only during Full Moons
Earthquakes every few hours during Full Moons
Level restrictions on gear all the time

Daily promos for Red did not work
bi-weekly threads in blue boards did not work
Beefing up exp did not work
Guilds that gear you to kill you did not work
"lower population so you can camp whatever you want as a feature" did not work
killing people to avoid rule lawyering did not work

Just think about it.

None of this worked because
EQ was never made for PVP.

It wasn't designed for it, it wasn't balanced for it, and on live it was never anywhere near as popular as the PVE game. Everquest PVP was an afterthought. There are plenty of MMOs and other genres with solid PVP gameplay, and I myself have greatly enjoyed some of them, but I will never, never have any interest in Everquest PVP.

Absolutely. First, it gave us confidence that an MMORPG could be commercially viable. It also reinforced our belief that unrestricted PvP was a bad thing. We'd played PvP MUDs in the past and were not fans of them. The wanton PvP in UO confirmed for us that we wanted to make a primarily PvE game.

I heard red has PVP - can someone confirm or deny?

My feelings exactly.

Turn on PVP
Repop P99
Don't turn off PVP until all the dragons die 1x each.


This may be the best idea ever.. Rogaen please

[EQBallzz]

I would love to see the Devs turn off PvP on red and replace it with gentleman's agreements, cooperation and of course sharing. Also, script chat so that all PvP trash talk gets displayed in /ooc as, "casting free buffs to all" or "I hope you are all having a swell day".

We could all just turn in PVP books to the priest of discord for a week or two of respawns too.

[Teako]

We could also just shut down red99 and call it a failure, and encourage people deluded into thinking EQ PvP is healthy to play other actual talent requiring PvP games.

[radda]

But I don't want to play that PVP, I want to play eq p99 pvp+Pve so log the fuck on gawd dammit

This would be entertaining

*Imagines mass pvp.*
*Remembers red99 videos of 100+ skeletons running in circles for almost a full hour with Slayer playing ontop of it like it's supposed to be cool or something.*
Nothx.

[Brut]

Can't seem to find it no more. Prty sure it was Nilly VS Azrael in Kunark era. Was from some cleric's perspective and it was just zzzzzzzz.

Remember watching some VZTZ video too where a guild just sat at Seb zonein waiting for the other guild with charmed pets and crap. So people just zoned in and got killed while still staring at the loading screen. Riveting.

[Wall O Lead]

Hate us because they anus.

[aaezil]

the reason nobody plays red is because they log on, spend a day or two getting a few levels, and then get their corpse camped by some douche who leveled to 60, got amazing gear, and then deleveled down to level 10 or something... Then that person deletes their character and never logs onto red again.

You sound like a crybaby faggot honestly.

Luv in my Skeleton druid, bard, warrior, cleric, monk and 6x rogues.

Sebilis off limits 😂

That doesn't happen you probably got trashed by a rogue in Wal-Mart gear and quit because you're a camp checking tunnel questing beta twerp who can't handle the fact that someone was aggressive towards him on a pvp server

People stopped playing about two weeks after the server came out, long before twinks were around, there is just a large percentage of players who are psychologically incapable of dealing with being constantly griefed or betrayed without consequence at low levels heh...I thought red was great for the first week, killed other newbs for cash and had crafted a full set of banded before level 10....global chat + exp bonuses = not great

Try red! Come on blue! Come try red where you can get trashed by "Wal-Mart" rogues and then get shit on by forum warriors because you suck at playing on red. Doesn't that sound fun?

Way to play right into the PvP stereotype that we all know is more fact than stereotype and likely why nobody plays on that server. Enjoy your l33t ghost town of a server.

[Secrets]

Project 1999: The Purge - Election Year

I'd support this PvP event only if it has one item loot - AND

Anyone who doesn't log on for at least 30 minutes gets their accounts suspended for a month.

[r0xx0r]

eq and pvp never mixed well, very unbalanced and there isn't even the option to fully loot someone. a good attempt @ trying to revive the already dead red- but it's falling on blind eyes.

Good luck channeling through that pot on a rogue

Maybe you should add more sub level 40s to your signature and we might give a shit.

Just kidding you got some real bergers. Sorry you can't cut it with the big dogs instead youre staring at a line of people to just get into a group.

[Halfelfbard]

Red was pretty fun, the people on there made it fun...and extremely terrible at the same time.
