After finishing out what a dwarf can do on his own on P99 and scrolling past thread after thread after thread about R99, I thought I'd try it. I played a couple of toons: druid in case the wife wanted to play (and drop transfers wherever I am), then my paladin. Got them to around 35 and have a few stitches of gear. I lay all this out to say the following: Red 99 will never ever matter to this community. It's the ambiance. I knocked around on red for a few weeks and I have to say, chat is just toxic. It was toxic a few years back when I tried and still was as of a few months ago when I just logged out and quit. I get why many R99ers love talking smack, I do. It's fun to rib your compatriots in competition. I'm from redneckistan in Virginia. I understand that I won't attract others to my hamlet by acting like a full redneck at all times. Just won't happen. Oh I'll appeal to people who are already like me, but then that's just the same shit again and again isn't it? I've tried Red as a bluebie in two different eras around here and each time it was the same: a cesspool of what seems to be socially maladjusted folks hurling insult bombs at each other that are designed to be maximally offensive to anyone that can get the ASCII on their screen. I've already been 13. It was fun to be an obnoxious asshole then. By the time I was 17 the luster had long stopped shining on that particular comedy styling. It did for a lot of us a long time ago. Red won't die. It seems to consistently hold 10% of the total P99 population. And as you'd like for folks to quit predicting Red's demise, I'd appreciate it if more Red players would realize there's no Blue exodus coming. I'd also appreciate it if more Red players can understand what Blue players do: we simply don't want to play in your box /grin. Acknowledge that your brand of play is the outlying fashion here. That and I saw the word "******" WAAAY too much in chat on Red.

They'd cry about all of the link deaths from zoning and having trouble logging in and what-not, but that's classic too. | |||

So I don't have to say it after every sentence, I want to applaud the people working on these changes for taking the time to do so. Instead of paying the monthly fee on the pay servers, this place makes for a great alternative. I also want to say This post is not intended to flame anyone, but to add my worthless two cents and hopefully give some constructive criticism that I'm surprised hasn't gotten brought up yet.

On live, AE groups were nerfed by reducing how many could have aggro on you at a time (to ~25, I think). That was a better solution, because those extra mobs would wander away, then come back and kill you when you were OOM. It wasn't just that you couldn't _kill_ 25+ mobs; it was that you couldn't _control_ 25+ mobs, something that's much more important.
In the current scenario on P99, a bard gathers every mob in a zone, then kills 25 of them, but the rest of the mobs are still under his control. So he kills the next 25. Etc, etc. The only thing that changes is the speed of the killing. So the live solution was better, and I think they should revert the change and do that instead. | ||
