EXP Re-Nerfed ROFL

[heartbrand]

I mean I'm sure with the bans to Cyren / Sektorxx / Kilkur / Brea / Exed / Waspnado / Croup, who had zero to do with RMT and can't get even a response to their petition thread, a group exp bonus that won't help new players rolling on this server whatsoever as there will still be no groups, the demotion of the server to preferred status, Rogean openly admitting he doesn't care about this server, Summer on the way, multiple other big game launches taking place, etc., etc., that Red99 is just about to turn the corner and hit 200 pop.

It's just frustrating, and I know you don't care Derubael or at least you think this was "needed." But, for many of us, we had 3 guilds all competing, a THRIVING low level and mid level game, groups around the clock, we had surpassed 200 + pop, we had a 100 man fight in Dreadlands over Gorenaire, and then suddenly the solution was "let's remove exp and bring the pop down to 20 because long term this will make the server better."

Result so far? One guild dead, likely will return to a one guild server, pop back down to 20 during day time hours [and likely less who are actually @ the keyboard], etc, etc. I get that this post will do nothing to change that now, the damage has been done. I get that you have stated you don't care those people quit. Just voicing my frustration. I think we had something special here and it was destroyed.

Oh well, it's just a video game, a free one @ that.

HB thanks for trying and making Red Dawn fun. My SK is 22 and my god even with help its hard to level. Oh well.

may RD RIP - was doomed from the start with a leader so weak it was disgusting

like I said in previous posts welcome the players in Azrael and Nihilum respectively

and of course, welcome back Heartbrand to Nihilum - his true belonging from the start

you live and you learn people, the choices you make are a big part of guild survivability

let it rip

It's a shame that a few selfish RMTers got so many RD banned [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I really don't want a one guild server even if I am in the one guild.

It has been proven that Nihilum can't really get it together without Nizzar at the helm (kind of how Azrael acts when Lite is not around).

My ideas:

Get two solid guilds PVPing for raid loots (we are almost there on this one)
Put in the full group XP bonus back like we used to get solo (you can make solo XP suck still)
Let us have the hybrid penalty gone a bit early (gone in Velious anyway)
Limit global OOC with a timer per character (1 per minute) and the location from where they are speaking displayed (surprised no one thought of this till so recently)
Put in a real in game leaderboard that is not edited by the guild running it.
Fix it so that there are negative points for zone plugging, and yes this would hurt Azrael more.
Reduce PvP level range sub 52 to +/-4.

Other more radical idea:

You have one TRUE P1999 that tries to stay exactly like it was originally. Just give up in that idea for Red99 (you already have to some extent already) and put in the tweaks and fixes that Sony should have all along.

HB did more for the Box than you could ever hope to do, even if you quit and saved us from your idiocy.

RD was always built with the goal of being able to do big things in Velious. That didn't mean Vulak'Aerr necessarily, but it did mean some of the easier NToV dragons, WToV, Dain, etc. That required a raid force of 40 at a bare minimum of perfect class composition, 55~ ideally. Unfortunately, when Azrael decided it would return / unretire or whatever you would like to call it, that removed the majority of 60's from Red Dawn. That by itself wouldn't have necessarily been awful, if not for the fact we had lost members previously due to our merging / alliance with them, and then a week later the removal the exp bonus. That essentially killed our ability to recruit fresh blood to build with. This led to the level 60's in the guild getting tired of waiting for all the new players to level up, and one by one taking the easier road to fun mass pvp and pixels.

If I thought there was a chance that RD and AZ could have worked together in Velious to down PVE raid targets, I would of stuck it out. Unfortunately, there was no chance of that ever happening. The two guilds had completely different philosophies. One was a guild with a PVE focus to kill big dragons, the other was a guild built upon denying Nihilum dragons. My opinion is that such a philosophy is unsustainable in Velious, and that this will become a one guild server again. I don't think that's optimal for the server, but I did my best to change that, brought a lot of new people here, and once Red Dawn hit a wall, I didn't think it was right to keep people hanging around out of pure loyalty to the tag. I'd rather let them go join Az or Nilly and enjoy the game.
