Status update for Red99, incoming changes, Sirken and Derubael tell all

[heartbrand]

I'll never wear a single droppable item (since resists don't really matter anyway) if item loot is implemented. The end.

[Galacticus]

Item loot doesn't work because its too cut throat.



Might as well have Sullon Zek rules where level 60s can kill level 10s.

Having item loot just increases the grief component.

Casters clearly have the advantage at lower levels.

Once no drop raid gear drops for your guild, you become godlike killing people in chainmail.

Its just a game with higher stakes that will drive away casuals.

Obviously we need casuals to increase server population.

just make a "vault" zone. Within the Vault, there is a banker, and maybe a merchant who sells nothing. That's it. Can't pvp, can't bind, no spells can be cast, no items clicked. Could turn on the /auction to be global, and ppl interested could make a separate window because I imagine it could get quite spammy. Also, ppl inside the vault can't /ooc. Only auction.

Maybe instead of there just being a locked door in freeport bank, clicking on the door would zone you into the Vault. Have access to the vault at only one location for extra pvp lulz. if only 1 access point, a guild may bind there to try and control access to the vault. make north freeport un-bindable as well. NFP has multiple zonelines, which is good. OR just make access from like 2 different zones, one evil town and one good town. this would cut down on trying to control access, but i like the idea of there only being 1 way in.

Heck, could even have the vault close every night and open every day ("in game" day, come on get IMMERSED ppl). If the vault's closed, and you're inside, you can't click out either! (Yea, there might be ppl waiting for you at 8 am on the other side)

we need the VAULT! would be a fun feature imo. and a reason for ppl to travel to old world once velious is out. or for ease of access could just put the entrance somewhere in velious. either way.

Or place a vault in the EC tunnel and disable PVP in EC?

i dont think a trading zone is needed with global ooc. even my greatest enemies have been very honorable when it comes to trades. we are pretty civil on red honestly.

[Humerox]

I disagree...not about the honesty factor but because trade needs to be much easier and more accessible.

Even item loot would be palatable if items were easier to obtain.

[Drakaris]

Ive always been against item loot because it adds an extra element of potential grief. Any person with half a brain will realise we already have twinks which are delevelled with epic, planar and vp gear. Item loot just means they won't wear fungis for regen and wear something like a sky belt for haste. This isn't live where the game moves fast in between expansions. People who are established have the time to invest in doing shit like this.

[Azure]

again... item loot at 60 only. people can stay 59 if they don't want item loot

[Recycled Children]

Item loot won't happen. Get real. Real world.

[Kergan]

I thought it was being considered pretty strongly if/when a teams server comes along? Might have to dig up some of those threads.

[Sektor]

item loot is stupid go make your own server
