If its true he said that in IRC...

Well, hope he has a legal team to word the "rule" for it. And GMs to monitor the server 24/7. As well as someone to post epic tits to keep people from rage quitting after getting trained. And people from rage quitting when they cant train back. And people rage quitting for getting banned over it. And people to moderate all the GM favoritism claims. And GM corruption claims. And QQ threads. And possible Kringe moments. And a 100% completely unbiased set of GMs that have never played any EMU nor have any connection to anyone that is going to play R99. As well as a team of people to shuffle through the flood of fraps that will occur every raid spawn.

If Rogean really is going with making training illegal... Grats on suicide bombing your own server, GM staff, forums, and any claims that it will be legit.

VZ/TZ 5.0 Incoming, with all the problems of the old box but now with shit exp curves, no boxing, and Searyx'd loot tables!

Yes you are right, not allowing training will truly be the death of the server! Here's a few other things that your fellow posters have identified as guaranteeing the server's doom:

-Allowing training
-Item loot
-Not allowing item loot
-Fast exp
-Slow exp
-Not having soulbinders

I guess we're not safe with anything because no matter what the server is doomed.

Seriously though, having rules against training is easy. The fact that there's a rule in place will make many players not train either because they're deterred by the punishment or because they just respect the rules. On p99 if you report someone for training, a GM comes and investigates; if it's really blatant, the offender gets punished, if it's not that blatant, well then the train probably wasn't worth reporting in the first place. Moreover reporting a train gets the GM to watch the players in the zone so they can see if any repeat trains occur. Even if you can't always punish someone for the first train, being able to prevent subsequent trains is good. You guys haven't played on a real server for so long that you're forgetting how these disputes are usually handled. You also can't fathom how effective training is on p99 where mobs have pathing unlike vztz. Just relax and see how it goes down instead of prophecizing doom for a server that hasn't even been put up yet.
