What in the fuck

If you told me any of the following I'd believe it:
That person is a 12 year old boy
That person is a 50 year old man
That person is a 12 year old girl
That person is a 50 year old woman

Only fixes that needs to be done:

1. Wipe current red server after velious comes out and use prenerf gear for gm events.
2. Make Blue to Red trading against the rules.
3. Make a team based server with SZ rules set with +/-8 on in range pvp and use prenerf items for gm events. (RZ rules with just turn it into a grief server with naked wizzies everywhere.)
4. Enforce all rules with an iron fist.

My opinion and I'm running with it ... let the flaming begin!

Against my better judgement I'm going to stop trolling for one post and comment thoughtfully.

1. Wipe current red server after velious comes out and use prenerf gear for gm events.

I know I'm not alone in saying if everything I had here was wiped out I'd just stop playing here. I think a lot of us came here because of the stability in addition to having the closest to classic experience offered anywhere, including on the live progression servers. I'd be very hesitant to invest the time required to level up with classic exp rates again if I've already had that time investment torpedoed once.

2. Make Blue to Red trading against the rules.

I'm not sure how that has any negative impact? If I'm on blue and have a ton of in game wealth, I see it as a good thing that I can avoid starting over from scratch. It might be the difference between me playing on red at all. Despite the whining of the vocal minority here on the forums, the vast majority of red appreciates higher population regardless of their play style or origin.

3. Make a team based server with SZ rules set with +/-8 on in range pvp and use prenerf items for gm events. (RZ rules with just turn it into a grief server with naked wizzies everywhere.)

I'm cool with a new team server. I think the absolute best time on any EQ server is the pre Kunark era, and part of that is the battle over items like a manastone or guise of the deceiver. When I lived through it on live, nobody gave too big a shit because nobody knew they were going away. I wasn't around for it on r99 but from where I hear it was a fuckin' pussy blasting bloodbath. Why would we want to skip that?

I'm also very strongly against item loot, but we don't really need to have that discussion in this thread for the 100th time.

4. Enforce all rules with an iron fist.

Good in theory, but enforcement in general requires staffing. At some point we need to be realistic. There are currently 4 CSR staff listed. If they are averaging 4-6 hours a day dealing with P99 and we on red are roughly 20% of total P99 population, we should reasonably expect someone around even looking at petitions for red only about 4-5 hours a day. That just isn't enough time to have an iron fist, unless you want a lot of shitty rash decisions being made without proper investigations. I'd much rather have a guilty person get away with it than an innocent person banned.

Best new saying on r99

[Kergan]

Yeah I've worked it in to several posts. I want to make it a new "thing" here, just doing my part.

I think the BK signature needs to go now that the character is gone. Maybe I will pay homage to the creator of the pussy blast instead!

New feature --- after a 5 kill streak with no pvp deaths, the level range of people you can pvp increases (not decreases) by 1 until you die, then it's reset back to +\- 4.

This would simultaneously let twink pkers still have fun ganking while working them up to an appropriate challenger. Some of those MM pkers would be pvping dudes 8 levels above them with this system

[Emoteen]

I'm all for SZ teams server - no pvp level limit.

Go go good team...
