Red and blue should be merged into one PvP server

I don't care how many people on each server, you can't really merge servers governed by two different rulesets.

Sure you can, they did it on live all the time.

I'm not tempted by red whatsoever tbh, but I would definitely give a shot to a Tallon Zek/Vallon Zek, team pvp server. I thought the idea really cool back then and it would make it harder for a guild to dominate everything. With a bit of management say, make it impossible to create an avatar in the team with the strongest current player base of the 4 after some point if there's a lack of balance, it could be really cool IMO and would possibly/probably attract more players than red currently does.

I could be wrong, and I have no idea how easy/hard it is to modify rules, but it'd be worth a try IMO [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'd like to see good/evil teams, but not the way it was on VZ/TZ. On those two servers, the teams could group and guild with one another, which would just cause every guild to include all 4 teams in these modern times. Would need hardcoded SZ-like teams.

Um no to that one, and contrary to a previous post you had, epics aren't even out on Red yet.

Don't post if you don't know what you're talking about.

Bad thread. Could have said everything you said by saying

"I think PvP is better than non-PvP. Therefore, p99 should be consolidated to one PvP server."

"Everyone should have to play like me even though my views are shared by less than 15% of the playerbase."

This is one of those threads where you read the first post, skip immediately to the end and submit a comment.

A comment, like this one, that adds absolutely nothing to the conversation because the conversation started and ended with a really bad idea in post #1.

Well that's not very nice [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I balanced the scales by debasing my own comment, but it really isn't a good idea.

Look at it this way. I chose blue, not that there was much of a choice when I started playing here, but given the choice later on - still went with blue.

Not because I don't enjoy PvP or don't understand how a PvP atmosphere is fun. Hell, I beta'd EQ on RZ and played a rogue there on release before moving to TM and building Spitulski. I know where you're coming from, and so do some of the people I play with.

Still chose blue.

Implementing your idea would be telling me, and hundreds of others, that we don't know what we're talking about when it comes to PvP, that the reasons we chose playing on blue are irrelevant and all of the time invested into our blue characters is worthless.

So, it's either terrifically insulting to try to spin this as a good idea...or it's a bad idea. It's your choice to pick the description you identify with.

Most people didn't seem to realize that my post in the blue forums was more tongue-in-cheek than it was serious, seeing as it's not going to happen ever.

Mostly I'm lamenting the fact that EQ PvP truly is dead now. I never meant to be insulting toward anyone, and I don't understand why so many people chose to feel insulted.

I skipped that part of where you were coming from, though inadvertently. I really did read post number one and blasted straight to the end.

I would venture a guess that your timing wasn't helping your cause. The blue side's been barraged by small factions of red players for months bringing up similar suggestions that generally deteriorate quickly.

I suppose since your post was well-composed, I felt the need to chime in. If it were my server on the brink of extinction, I'd lament it too.
