Who will be going from Blue99 to Red99?

[georgie]

yes

[Demetrium]

Honest question: What's stopping you Red99 fanatics from just turning in your Tome of Order and Discord today and PvPing on the original server?

I've thought about this a bit and only really came up with two ideas.
1) Clean start
2) So you can "fight" over camps and spawns

1) Do you think there will be any fewer cheaters on Red99 than there is here? From everything I've been reading cheating is more prevalent on PvP servers than anywhere else. If this server is going to be administered by the same people running Blue99 are you actually expecting different results?

2) Is there actually going to be enough people to even compete for spawns on Red99? If you had similar prime-time numbers to Blue99 sure, but I'm thinking you won't.

Why not just turn in your books and duke it out now, as-is? Just a little tired of the same 15 people on the forums only ever having Red99 related material flying out of their pie-holes.

Don't think there will be the numbers. Blue99 is what, 3 years old with 800 primetime? Red99 going to be a ghost town. If there's enough consistent players to foster two high-end guilds having enough people on around the clock to fight over spawns like Trakanon...I'll eat my Runed Cowl.

purist will stake his claim to internet fame on red99

[Kruel]

need a option for "play both servers while poop sockin...

I think at least 30% of the blue community will move over. All of these high end people that dont have much to do because they've done everything several times will go over there. People that want to enjoy the game without being harassed by 8 year old kids on a power trip will stay here.

All Hail Demetrium the Blue Prophet.


Handing in the PoD book on a blue server still makes you blue. One of the biggest reasons to play on red is to contest spawns, whether it be orc trainer hill, BnB, Naggy etc. That simply cannot happen with 80% of the population remaining blue on the blue server. Nice try though!

Red99 will not be a ghost town, that is a laughable, desperate assumption from someone that sounds afraid of losing members from the blue server. Classic EQ only requires 200-300 players to make the zones feel fairly populated. I would be more than happy to see those numbers in a month or two, but if Rogean and Nilbog can get a thumb on detecting mq2/seq again before release, I will assure you that it will grow higher.

This is a chance for all you blue players to experience a completely new style of EQ gameplay. Most of us are reliving the exact same experience as we did in 1999-2001, why not relive that experience you loved with a new dynamic thrown in? No more poop socking and "LOLOL WE GOT TRAK THIS WEEK" threads, instead, you faceroll the competition, get the loots, shake hands and meet again the next week for more.

Why you so mad at red brew? There is well over 15 people being vocal for a red server, and countless more that don't come to this forum and/or aren't vocal about it. Obviously this is the case if Rogean and Nil. are working on a red server, don't you think? I mean, are you calling them idiots to say that they are making this server just for it to be a flop? They managed P99 just fine, what makes you think they'll fuck up R99?

If there is item loot, or even coin loot, I'll head over to Red99. If not, i'll stay here. EQ pvp is cool and all, but if theres no risk for reward then why bother with farming everything I have again. I played on Rallos Zek, since the get go with Flowers, and the item loot dynamic made PVP an unreal and addictive experience.

Fully agree'd pal. It will be a sad day in Project 1999 history if the server release does not have item or at the very least coin looting. That xp loss thing is just meh. I'll play but my heart just won't be in it like it would be with the other two.

Fortunately, we have a strong contender on our side: Nilbog. He is an oldschool PVPer / RZer that wants item looting, but I'm afraid he wont drop the hammer on this one and implement just because of the 20-30 vocal VZTZ crowd here on the forums.
