I’ll donate 2500 if they wipe red or make a new red server

Wiping red would undermine everything this server stands for. And why would they put a new pvp server up so 20 people can play while spamming blue server chat with toxic posts? If anything have 2 blue servers up. Red has been a ghost town since it was formed.

We don't need to get into it here, but red was not always a ghost town. Red has a very stillborn beginning all the way back to beta days. It had a custom non classic ruleset and gm corruption issues and all sorts of things that made it hard for the server to be a success.

A true classic server experience with proper timeline and an actual classic ruleset, or a classic discord old world only server that has "seasons" (classic was 1 season only) would allow the pvp to happen but in a less sad and dead way.

I think the best option given the pop is the discord server that has an end date where the winner is declared. The other best option would be an actual rallos zek item loot server. The next best option would be a custom teams no item loot server but I am less excited about that option because custom rulesets are easy to do wrong and are probably more effort than they are worth.

But really anything is worth while. Right now it is an orphan. Do something with the characters or leave them orphaned but changing it up would be fun. I would be able to pull 4 hours a week on a pvp server that wasn't in such a sad shape with nothing fun to do.

Part of the attraction of rallos zek rules is that you can do pvp at a variety of level ranges that is actually rewarding in its own way. You don't need to hit level 60 to start playing the game, you can play it at any level and try to do battle for zone control among your peers. The more you risk gear wise the better you are in battle, but you might lose it to someone. Its great.

I can't do 2500 dollars but would also be on board.

Just to have a living pvp server I can jump on for some good times when I DO have time would be really worthwhile.

Given the population I feel like discord style would work well and also means we don't end up with it ever getting too stale even if things do go south.

Only thing I think would be bad is teams because of how hardcoded imbalance just ends up being lamesville. Any non classic adjustments would be highly suspect just like all the non classic adjustments that made red 99 bad.

Heres to hoping.

[Lojik]

I mean...how many people are against a red wipe v. for a red wipe? I don't see much reason not to except that Rogean et al probably don't want to set a precedent for randomly wiping characters.

[Gustoo]

They can dump toons to blue or leave red as is as permanent useless loot hoard and launch discord permadeath or real timeline rallos server.

Has everyone forgotten the true classic experience was based on danger and uncertainty? This has been lost and is apparant the way everyone is excited them and their mom can get a manastone.
Havent any of you crawled out of your safe space in the last ten years? People should get that feeling of dread and uncertainty every now and again. Its good for you. Go learn some gang signs or something. Fall more than 20 feet. Pvp

Yes.
Yes.

Yes, but nothing I can explain right now.

Soon.

The glory

[TehHobbit]

You guys should make a new pvp server, or just wipe red then won’t have to deal with the resources for another server. No reason to keep it around, its dead as shit, 12 people on there the other day.

So why did they do it, then, Kados?
