Do you really want to get into the argument of which server has more glaring bugs?

Sure thing, what is more glaring (I'll assume you're contrasting red99 with vztz or loz)

1) bugs which have gone unfixed for nearly a year since they've been reported and bumped multiple times

vs

2) servers with staff who are actively trying to improve their code, as evidenced by bugs being reported / fixed in a timely manner, playerbase concerns being addressed, etc, and so on.

Let's play a game that doesn't involve resting on one's laurels. Take blue99's code and imagine active staff / developers starting their version of red99 using it. Do you think these bugs would still be in? Do you think there would have been this much nonsense going on with resists?

Would we see such sad hostage situations such as are occurring now where Nilbog tells the server hes pro yellow text but can't do anything without Rogean logging off starwars?

Blue 99 might have once been pretty good with server upkeep and updates but that certainly didn't transfer over to red's side. I don't believe you can honestly look at LoZ's update logs and say they've put in less work since its release versus the few patches we've had on red, most of which involved simply toggling a few variables in the code.

I'm playing the server that is better NOW not 3 years from now.

Guess which one that is?

"No More Excuses"

yea pretty much

I get why a lot of the Holo are jaded since they never should have eaten that guild ban + all the bs with Amelinda, but if Rexx is playing again they should be rolling w/ him.

[lethdar]

Oh is rexx playing? Well that changes everything! (see the above points, Rexx and yourself serving as examples of people who will quit due to the experience).

[SearyxTZ]

pal you should help nildog out and/or play + join pvp champs

[TheLieka]

I will probably be playing on blue with my wife a bit. I know better than to bring her into an eqemu pvp server. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] You never know what'll happen, but I do not hold aspirations of working on staff for another eqemu server.

[SearyxTZ]

yeah that was just wishful thinking on the first one


u and Null are basically the 1992 Dream Team of eqemu pvp devs

They should allow character transfers from blue to red one time no going back once youve been tagged red.

This.

I suggested this to nilbog a few months ago as the only hope of a healthy population even with Kunark. Unfortunately, I was right and though the pop is definitely up, there still needs to be more to allow the server to propagate, or it will eventually die. Its going to be hard to entice a lot of EQers to join a server with only 100 or so online.

+1 to naked level 50 blue to red character transfers. Will provide a lot more people to level up with. I know a ton of people would do this.
