Global ooc - what's the hold up? - Page 12

The facts stack up against your blind love for a terrible dead server.

If it was any good it would still be populated, or alive at all. It and most of its populace was garbage.

Just admit you guys can't handle classic EQ unless massively pussified. Stop blaming everything for your own failures.

You are the only one on this entire board who brings up VZTZ constantly. Probably 500+ of your posts at this point.

It is very relevant to any discussion where a bunch of people are crying for shit that shouldn't be in Everquest.

Shocked people don't have harrison ignored.

If you're worried about people making lvl 1 alts named nrmnrmrnrmnrm or iliilililili to spam ooc, just make it so ooc is only lvl 10/20/30 or whatever plus.

Or just solve problems after they actually exist, instead of being scared of global ooc under the pretense that it could be spammed/trolled in the same way any chat channel which actually gets used can.

It's already been experimented and our population was less disgustingly vile and pathetic as this one is now. It was spammed to high fuck to the point of making it nearly worthless. This will happen again.

Stop crying about problems we've already dealt with and cry about ones that need to be dealt with still, such as exploiters running around not banned.

I mean I really do not care if this server does the things it needs to get the population up. I don't even play, but I mean it's almost as if you guys prefer a dead server getting worse every day over change.

I am not here to argue VZTZ or Red99. I played both and know what I experienced. If red99 did some things to increase its fun factor then the population would shoot back up. Just sayin'

The fact is that it's not getting worse every day. I'm not saying it couldn't get better, but it's maintained a stable population for about 3 months. It's not going to die. You guys played on VZTZ when it averaged 80 people a day and half of them were boxers so it's ridiculous that you act as if red99 is unplayable with four times as many non-boxed people.

You guys have to stop assuming that the VZTZ crowd is the only one whose opinions matter. The majority of the server probably finds red99 extremely fun (why else would they continue playing?), more than VZTZ. Different people value different things in a server; I find red99 more fun because the community and population makes it easier for me to be anti-pk, and because the server is more well coded (especially with pathing, spells, exploits, cheat detection, etc.). I also prefer slower exp since it leads to more mid-level pvp, and greater consequences for exploiters. While I think VZTZ was borderline unplayable, I'm okay with some people liking it more. Just expect to be corrected when you say that VZTZ was "ten times more successful" when it had its ups and downs just like red99.

Searyx you're right about one thing. Since red99 is the only server around we should focus on making it better and not reminiscing about a past server.

Global ooc, faster experience, legalizing training, and ignoring griefing all encourage or facilitate exploiting. Yes, you would attract people that want to load up MQ chase someone around and kill them over and over while spamming global ooc with racial epithets and obscenities vztz style if you managed to successfully lobby for these changes. Is that what you really want? Do you even need an EQ emulator to pursue those activities? This is what killed the population on previous pvp boxes and has discouraged many of us from leveling on r99. If you want the staff to increase the population then ban the antisocial griefers and show those of us on the sidelines that this box won't turn in to a neglected cesspool like the pvp boxes which preceded it.
