Remember the "Discord" server? EQ's PvP Permadeath server?

[wurmus]

Playing on discord was the most fun I ever had playing EQ as well. You had to be alert constantly, every battle was life or death, and you just couldn't trust anyone.

I for one would love to see a this running on p99's system with a few tweaks to make it sustainable and a little more balanced... soooo many mages...

When you're thrown into that kind of survivalist environment, there is no easy path. You either learn to adjust to virtually any situation on the fly, or you avoid taking any risks at all and hope no one ever finds you. Though I think we actually died more to pve than pvp...especially in Najena.

We've played quite alot of pvp mmos over the years, some more hardcore than others.
Discord was definitely the most fun and unpredictable EQ experience for sure.

If only we could make a clone of P99 with that special ruleset, I've no doubt it would attract a huge following given a chance.

Just a heads up for anyone who would be interested in playing this server hosted by EQEMU.

Secrets is now hosting a server based on Discord, with some extra customizations (for the better). It is currently in alpha testing stages, and even better than what the real deal offered. If you would like to read more about this, check out this thread here:

We'll probably make an IRC channel, since the project just started last week.

Cya there!

I really want a title in the project 1999 server. Would you guys be able to work out some sort of deal with Rogean?

[FatMagic]

Hah awesome Scrooge! Looking forward to what you guys put out in the end. I'll check it out and most likely get ganked over and over! Just like Discord [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I only played on this server for a short while and I am not a big PvPer. I another somewhat similar idea that I think would be great.

A PvE or PvP server where there is no XP loss on a death but once you die you cannot log back into the server for X hours. Probably nothing SoE would implement for good idea for a free server IMO.

This would be a bad idea unless VERY heavily staffed and policed. The amount of monks with an 'accidental' feign death near you with 29 mobs would occur a lot more frequently for their amusement and your grief.

I wouldn't mind a PVE version of this concept. fighting every battle like it could be your last. When you lose a group member during a fight it would send the "hard core" ripple through the whole group. When fighting something with a group of people in RL and someone gets taken out....no respawn man.

A PvE Discord server where the only permissible class would be a ranger. Let's see one try to get to 50. I say this with a ranger being my main on P99 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

In all seriousness I don't think I would have the patience for a Discord pvp server. I have a hard time enough not dying as it is without the hackers that would be prevalent.

Some unique things about this server that Discord never had: pvp starts at level 1, pvp kills yield xp, level cap is 25 (for now!) and the starting zone is the only safe zone.
