What would it take for you to switch to Red99?

I'd play on R99 if it was changed to Blue 99 Classic no Kunark.

If the classes would be left with their spells and abilities intact without all the balancing and rebalancing that Sony used to do that only made things worse, I would take the server seriously. If the admins are going to nerf entire class abilities or make some spells completely unusable or reduce their effectiveness to the point where they are functionally unusable, it's not worth it.

Only way I'd play there is if they had an earlier release of Velious than blue.

Get the red experience now. When kunark drops the world will be twice the size, And kunark alts will destroy new players regardless of skill.

Red players would have to hope for an additional 100 players on red when kunark hits, it might happen, who knows.

Just gonna quote my post on this from a while back.

I definitely considered it. But reading the forums it sounded like there is a low population. Also I think that having ffa pvp as opposed to teams leads to a few problems:

* OOR clerics healing your target. This (and the related problem of cross team healing on vt/tz) is the main reason I never played on rallos. You can't have people helping your target that you can't attack.

* No friends. The team makeup of SZ brings about very strong ties. I found that people on my team were (in general) much more helpful than people on blue servers. On SZ, you never knew when you might REALLY need someone. So it incentivised people to help each other, group together. On an FFA pvp server, people are incentivised to solo, because you never know when a random person might kill you.

I think the red99 server is a great idea, and I hope it does well. I don't think it's for me, even though I had a great time on SZ. For me, it would have to be a teams server that has no "immortal healing". That would give the environment an incentive to pve together (teams) as well as a good incentive to pvp (no immortal healers).

That's just my opinion of course.

Also I think Slave is completely right. You need teams, but teams that make it fair. Can't have all the necros/SK/Troll/Ogres on the "evil" team.
