Custom Shit red 2.0
 

I realize that we have talked in circles about red 2.0 concepts for basically no reason for the last 6 years or so, but it seems like there hasn't been a lot to discuss for a while and I just had a glimmer of hope in my heart and I thought it would be good if we hashed some stuff out for the 10th time.

We have talked about custom shit for anti toxic behavior a bunch.

I believe that there should be no legacy items on the next server. All items are released as intended and stay in the game as intended. Even if the manastone becomes a 1/10000 chance of dropping on every dragon or something, it would be fine.

Same goes with locket of escape, firepots, DE mask, and other game breakers.

I think the best solution is an in game platinum sucking casino system.

They could also revert the platinum and gem drops from hill giants and cyclopes to earlier versions so we can pharm and waste more platinum. The pharming aspect is important because those are great PVP zones.

Thoughts on non classic?

I know option 2 has a swear word in it but please consider what it takes to make the server actually the funnest possible. Things like no manastone camp, and tiered level maximums could mean more people can do more PVP for at least a year while the server max level ticks up slowly. There could be PVP champ stats for each new tier too memorialized on the home page hopefully.

Theres a lot of fun that could be done without extensive changes.

I would have voted option one but I don't like the wording. Custom would make things more enjoyable. As far as legacy items go they should either remove them or leave them in. Verant nefted/removed them because they were too OP so why even have them.

I had a few custom ideas I thought would be good for red 2.0 but that was when Rogaen was receptive to new ideas and I've forgotten since.

People are getting to old to play Everquest real talk. 2.0 with none of the shit mentioned above (tldr anyway) would of been great. Window is about 95% closed for most players I’d say. It prob would attract some folks at the beginning but would def end up with the guys who are playing now doing most if not all the heavy play time.

If they capped it at kunark the box wouldn’t be so bad.

Fights at seb or kc every once and awhile good enough.

It’s impossible to raid velious with the population. And if there was the population I still would t do it because I’m not a homo

Try a job, or maybe a new game you fucking incels. lol

100% would need to stop at kunark with this small population. Maybe modify an area or two to have biweekly events like on vztz we had a difficult rile raid inside everfrost tunnels. One of the rewards was a range slot that gave like +1 Regen and some stats.

I think a major problem is how to deal with the current red population. Rogaen doesnt want to wipe the server and last thing we need is fragmented playerbase when red maxed at 50 boxers

The solution would be to leave red 1.0 as is, and the 20 people still playing there can also box on red 2.0

I kinda agree that a lot of playerbase is aged or lifed out. I am.

I honestly believe Teams pvp would get 400+ people on a EQ pvp server.

Hell,. staff can even say "No CSR" and it would be successful.

P99's closed source code is Platinum, it will bring all the hood rats to the scene.
