It's a good poll. The only problem is that it's ass backwards.

So what should we do with the red server when it starts out at not so popular and then trickles to virtually nothing after the first three or four months?

The Searyx poll was around 50/50 FFA vs Teams.

The lasher poll was 55% vs 45%
http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=31344

So it's more like 1/2 of people think that.

Most people asking for a new PvP server on EQ Live boards seem to want a team based PvP progression server:

And by 'everyone' he means his group of chronies.

You guys will gay the server up and you know it.

You will invite some guy into your group.. inspect him.. then kick him from group, kill him and loot what you want.

This type of behaviour will kill the server.

If you want longevity, teams is the only way to go. I suggest all teams have all classes, though. Altergate has a huge problem now with the way the classes were distributed.

Agreed. Too many morons are gonna be on red99 hacking it to death anyway, don't give the minority of losers FFA. The only reason these social failures want FFA is to grief with it, If this is going to be any type of successful with a decent playerbase it should be team.

I agree. Teams is the best PvP experience and was why I enjoyed Vallon Zek so much back in the day.

Like I'm not even trolling at this point, you're basically retarded if you think FFA will work.

Only reason vztz crew wants FFA is because they have cliques already established, which is whatever. Everyone else thats going to come from p99 won't and will create, hit 10, get shit on, and go back to p99.

Wormchecks basically been established as a dumbass around here so anything he says about ffa can be instantly ignored.

Best teams setup for both sides to have all classes:


Dark Elf Alliance (evil)
--------------------
Dark Elf
Troll
Iksar
Ogre
Half Elf
Erudite


Human Alliance (good)
---------------------
Human
Dwarf
Gnome
Halfling
High Elf
Barbarian
Wood Elf

If you don't make it FFA here is what happens:

VZTZ 'clique' rolls one team.
You guys get facefucked 10x harder making team imbalance 10x worse.

-or-

you leave it FFA, VZTZ rolls its own guild. Any and all comers can have a shot at us, with no chance for coattail riding pvp immunity bullshit because your the same race/diety.

Knuckle spitting the truth. FFA = Server Longevity

You know what, im getting mad.

FUCK TEAMS. I am not fucking arguing with a GM over raid mob rotation because two different same team guilds are at the mob.

ITS A FUCKING RED SERVER

Get in the clan, or get your own, im not sharing shit if you arent repping the tag. And actually, I was nice to new players or loners a lot of the time if they werent twinks or an obvious spy. We want new players as much as anyone else.

All this bullshit talk about griefing, is actually done by the bitch guilds who get shit on 90% of the time because that's the only way they can win at pvp is bullying newbies.

Knuckle the Prophet.

umad?

Bullying newbies? Fucktards from garage box are going to form up and rapesquad the entire red99 playerbase. I don't even blame them because it would be hilarious, but nobody is going to play if its like that.
