Default Red99 PVP leaderboard

Is there any chance for having anything similar to that on Red99 or should I just forget about it.

It would definitely make PVP a lot more fun if you could get points for kills and possibly see how many kills/deaths you have etc.

Pros:
-tracking system
-bragging rights

Cons:
-potentially running new people off the server with increased griefing

On VZ/TZ a few people would only kill undergeared and underleveled noobs leveling to pad their leaderboard stats.

I like a leaderboard, personally. The reason it failed on VZ/TZ was that there was noone actively policing maphackers combined with no anon/roleplay.

I hear counterstrike has a leaderboard when you press tab.

A leaderboard kind of ruins immersion.. it's not an fps, you know?

MY IMMERSION! Maybe this would be a good idea 2-3 years down the road when the server is stale and people want a new dynamic or something

Make the leaderboard not accessible in-game with only daily updates.

leaderboard/YT has encouraged concepts of consistent zone plugging... People who are afraid to "scar their rep" instantly gating from pvp, bind camping, etc etc.

I liked YT and I also liked the leaderboard on the servers I played, but it changes pvp gameplay for the worse when you're talking about dealing with a large population server (R99)

The only way a leaderboard worked legit was later on in EQ history with the invention of a safe zone to prevent bind camping messing with numbers of who is really good or not.

I'm not totally opposed but I'd rather see the server released then time spent on extraneous features.

This could work, yet still encourages bind camping and other lame moves.

I guess the argument I'll hear is: If they fell asleep on the keyboard, they deserve to be bind camped?

Without a leaderboard, how would any one benefit from that act? Now if the pvp immunity buff or whatever makes it so you can't get points/kill credit from the same person within a hour, then sure by all means, put it in [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
