Does /guildwar work here?

[Sear]

Searched for this topic but there wasn't much info on it in the past few years - does it work here? If not, are there any plans to implement it?

My first experience with pvp in EQ was via a guildwar on a blue server, before the teams pvp servers existed. They're a lot of fun.

Also, I've already seen more pvp-per-minute-of-playtime on the blue server than Red99 (props to the guy who killed me at level 1 in the cabilis arena).

no

Bummer. Whose dick do I need to pay someone else to suck to get this on the roadmap?

The way you worded that made me chuckle.

This is a feature I hope they someday allow guilds to opt into.

I tried to find some enticing evidence of blue server guild wars, but I don't think the internet goes back that far anymore.

You guys will have to trust me on this. The <Dark Hour> vs <Blades of Steel> guildwar on Solusek Ro was lit.

So much, in fact, that I left for a red server after it ended & never looked back (note: 1000+ ppl actually played on the pvp servers back then).

note: this is misleading, it was always 1/5-1/8th the population of blue servers.

note: okay, but TZ averaged 1000+ concurrent for the ~3 years I played on it

note #2: I'm only mentioning this to absolve myself of the shame of playing on Blue99 over Red99

You're missing the part that is misleading. Blue servers at the time had 5000-8000+ players at that time.

guildwar would be cool

closest I think we saw the server get to that was a few guilds just flagging red for a week or so (and really, just a handful of folks at that)

[Sear]

I'm sure the top question for the staff/GMs here will be "will this classic feature make my life worse?"

I have good news: it won't. Just ask Sirken. There will be fewer petitions because more players will be dead.

A guild war is a completely optional & voluntary way for two guilds to partake in fisticuffs.

Well, that's pretty cool too.

iirc the problem with handing in the Tome of Discord was that you couldn't be buffed/healed by any other players

Are BotBs a semi-regular thing here?

/guildwar is still on the list to be developed.

Gonna have to file this one away so I can quote it later on when ppl ask about future designs for server.

Mind if I ask if it's planned on being developed for Blue server after Final Patch? Or is this something that's way long-term, like releasing Green server...

Wow. I am impressed I never expected you guys to say this tbh.

Shoot, I might have to one day join a guild if this happens! I would love to gank the hell out of certain guilds on p99.

The key would have to be joining the right guild that went to war with those guilds I despise so much.

thanks for responding, nilbog

I'll have her sent to your hotel room
