Merge green with red

[Swish]

Well, why not? Most people had blue characters anyway. Thoughts?

[starkind]

It would be great for healthy competition among the high end raiding scenes of both servers.

[eqravenprince]

Just about everyone on green does not want pvp.

[starkind]

Just about everyone on green does not want pvp.

They are constantly fighting with eachother and trying to Fraps and ban eachother tho.

How is that not pvp???

[Nachtsuchen]

God no. PvP being opt-in is what helps people ease into the idea of possibly making Red characters. I think if such things are too forced, it pushes people away. I know I would drop P99 in a heartbeat if all my characters were forcefully made Red instead of being something I opted into, especially with the Red server ruleset. Being opt-in as, as well as being self-contained and separate from Blue, is what makes opt-in PvP work out on Green.

[Tethler]

no

[Swish]

Poll is closer than these responses suggest.

[Fammaden]

The entire population of red came to vote yes and are still losing.

[Jimjam]

Replace Priest of Discord with Priest of Order so people can hand in a book to turn blue.

i think priest of order is on red but not sure if it works i think its disabled

[Tunabros]

cringing hard right now

[Gustoo]

I voted no. As funny as it would be to enable pvp on green population suddenly, it isn't the style of p99 to do such a thing.

[starkind]

i do like jimjams idea of enabling blue on red tho through the priest of order it'd be only fair

[Imposter]

there should have been an option to just delete red

[eqravenprince]

there should have been an option to just delete red

Now here is a smart thought.

[Gustoo]

I'd sacrifice all my hard work on red for a new red. Without hesitation.

I don't need a half dozen firepots bound manastone guised legacied out the ass champ toons sitting around on a 30 pop server. I'd rather be naked level 1 with 500+ other people fighting for cracked staffs.

[Jimjam]

Do it! Wipe red clean,
Give us brown server (red green).
Untwink PVPeen

[Tunabros]

delete red and blue

come join the holy grail of p99 servers: green

[nilzark]

Swish bored again. Troll thread. LoL! How about when you log in; you go to a random server, better stay on your toes, head on a swivel! LoL.

[starkind]

Pretty surprised at the 50% yes votes.

[s71ck]

Merge Blue, Red and Green into Purple (teams). No more split population

[Old_PVP]

Merge Blue, Red and Green into Purple (teams). No more split population

Best idea so far.

[Tunabros]

cringing hard from posts above me

[Old_PVP]

I still like the idea of sending all banned players to live out their days on the Red prison server. We'll take anyone at this point, and build this server to greatness on the backs of the scummy & disreputable.

[Fammaden]

December Update: EQ PvP still horrible garbage that the vast majority of people despise. This will never change. Even clinically insane shut-ins who farm PvE plat 18 hours a day know its worthless.

Well, you and I and most everyone else are well aware that the red proponents on the board also know those things. They don't really expect to reinvigorate red. They're just spiteful and want to destroy blue and green.

What makes you say a ridiculous thing like that?

This thread is not a legitimate weighted proposal or anything. Someone was just dreaming of a buncha blue players being suddenly pvp enabled and having to adapt. It would be super fun.

No one is trying to destroy blue and green servers? If they were they would be training everywhere people gather for safety while shouting "BLUE AND GREEN SUCKS!!!" or something more clever.

EQ pvp takes the EQ game you like with high risks and rewards (actual corpse retrievals that are difficult in deep dungeons) and makes the game even more intense by adding a significant social factor and the possibility of PVP with other players.

What this does is makes player communities more important, player relationships more important, and it makes about 50% more items in EQ actually have value and function.

While it means that disruptive players can be directly disruptive to other players by killing them in cold blood, these players can be ostracized killed themselves by players who want the world to not foster murderous behavior.

I'm not sure where all the vehement negativity comes from. Maybe 1hr play time and got robe stolen in greater faydark back on live rallos zek or something?

The majority of the people that played on red and still want a new red server are playing on blue and green right now biding their time as good citizens albeit in a more boring less dynamic version of EQ. I can barely play non pvp except to think about my leveling path and stuff but its pretty grueling work for me nowdays.

No one wants to destroy the PVE servers, that is a ridiculous and slanderous thing to say about PVP players. PVP players want a new pvp server that isn't 10 years old and 5 years dead. PVP players know that the fun is over and are waiting for the next bout. There just isn't as much reason to be a pixel collector on a pvp server when no one else is playing anymore.

[Gustoo]

Sounds like you've never played?

Like playing street fighter is just moving a joystick and hitting buttons?

Like playing a first person shooter is just moving a mouse and clicking around?

EQ pvp is about situational awareness and preparedness and relationships. Instead of wandering around, capturing an efficient plat camp telling everyone to fuck off and pharming it endlessly for platinum while no one can make you move, on red someone might go ahead and kill you while you AFK wait for the next spawn.

I see a lot of emotional damage on the anti-red people I will send my thoughts to bristlebane and hope that he ruffles your feathers and brings you to see the light of life.

Lol, EQ PvP. No thanks

all christian players xfer to blue during reset, atheists go to red

[kgallowaypa]

I can’t believe people don’t want pvp what are you so afraid of lmfao

[starkind]

I wanted to vote. Although it said I already did.

Voted yes. I'm sure.

[Swish]

Over 50% approval rating, something for the devs to consider.

[Keza]

I voted yes as a lul because blue or red doesn't really matter to me, but then I thought about it and blue seems to be directly contradictory to green's interests, whereas Red isn't. Why have Nostalgia Farmers vs Pixel Hoarders? Let it all burn in a blaze of crimson glory. People get to enjoy some PvP, the pixels are deleted and there's nothing for hoarders to be attached to. A new cycle begins.

Red will always be unwelcome for most since PvP isn't remotely balanced, but a brief stint of PvP at the end of each cycle would be quite the meme. It'd die off quick and people would recharge by the time it came around again. The only losers would be pixel hoarders, but they already are so who cares?

[Shac]

red needs anti-pks

[Gustoo]

Red needs anti PKs it would be the best server ever if all the BIS green people were all a sudden red and the red PVP people who’ve been uncontested for three years got whipped?

This.

Having a healty population with anti-PK's is what it's all about.

Pretty sure a lot of people are joking when they mark yes.

I'm 99.9% sure they are not going to consider this, amigo.

There is no scenario where I can see Rogean deciding to flip the pvp switch on for his most-populated pve server.

But if for some reason he goes on a massive cocaine binge and makes the impulse decision to do it, I'd recommend hardcoding teams. It's much more forgiving for pve players than FFA when regions of the world are relatively safe rather than anyone being able to attack you anywhere.

As it is, R99 players looking for fresh pvp already have VZTZ as an alternative.

Don't get trolled by shitposters.

sure, wipe red and merge it with green. can't throw people that have had hundreds of times XP bonus and free and clear loot/cash camps for years with people that have been playing the game the proper way.

proper in terms of playing EQ the way it was intended to be played.

Also proper becuase it was my idea.

everquest pvp was never good

it was only fun with friends

but again, people on red are like super lonely

[Bigcountry23]

They are constantly fighting with eachother and trying to Fraps and ban eachother tho.

How is that not pvp???

Green has one of the best high end raiding environments I have ever seen. I've seen all of the guilds doing co-op raids and with the exception of a few "bad apple" players, it is a great example of competition and co-operation without outright conflict.

[Tunabros]

join green today

This would be absolutely amazing! <3

If they merge green with red

Population counts would change to something like this
Red 50 to 51
Blue 800 to 1600

No, lol... I tried blue once, it wasn't even EverQuest(and I played 99-04; I remember it fondly). Shards of Dalaya was a much better experience compared to blue, even though that's a different game in and of itself.

Red would probably have a few hundred players for a month or so, until the people that realize that they can only handle NPC's grow tired of getting owned by the people that have specialized in handling other people.

There's a... let's call it a "presence of mind" and a certain depth of psychological knowledge required to play on discord-servers like RZ, and later TZ. Or in this case "Red".

[Lorethi]

Why not allow people to freely transfer to the server of their choosing, transferring them automatically to blue if no choice is made by a set deadline?

I'd assume it's just a matter of moving your account data from one database to another, which can be fully scripted.

[DeliciousHalflings]

How does the issue of duplicate names work with the server merge?

[nilzark]

They add an X to the end of the name. Also, that idea about sending banned players to Red like Australia seems like a legit idea. Send them there naked.

What? Why do you say Blue isn't even Everquest?

Actually now with Green out, what exactly is Blue? I'm confused lol. It used to be Blue for classis PvE, Red for classic PvP. What's Green doing in the mix?

blue had a stretched out timeline, whereas green's timeline is closer to 1:1 for the original patch/xpac time line.

[Gustoo]

Now that they are both at velious, they are essentially the same except Blue is old and Green is much newer.

And this thread and many others are people eagerly awaiting a new timeline progression PVP server from the excellent though quite busy project 1999 team.
