YT isn't the solution

Yellow text benefits in so many ways. Showing where pvp is, who is being griefed, exposes assholes who are ccing, and I'm sure theres a ton more.

Global ooc makes a serverwide trade channel and lfg.


Also, in regards to Vile. I have 36days played.

Lol @ Silikten's mouth still affixed around my nutsack.

History lesson for people who didn't play VZTZ 2.0: VZTZ 2.0 was launched and no one knew PVP stats were being recorded, or that it had a functional leaderboard- i.e. no one farmed alts. I griefed retards like Silikten all day, and then when the inaugural leaderboard was released, I was head and shoulders above anyone else on the server. Wasn't a huge deal for a baller like myself, as it was obvious who the Alpha-male of the server was at that point; but neckbeards like Silikten still dwell on it, and still make up baseless accusations rationalizing how they had 1/3 my leaderboard score, even 2+ years later!

Anyway, while I can agree w/ bitter-nuthanger Silikten on some points, what he doesn't realize, and what should be addressed is: the VZTZ 2.0 leaderboard is not outcome determinative of how an actual leaderboard on a PvP server would function. Again, no one even knew it was operational.

So: Did it offer a one-time look of purity into who the top PvPers on the server were w/o any garbage like score-padding? Yes.
Was a secret leaderboard compiling a score of any benefit to the server? No.

If you genuinely want to have a conversation about how an operational leaderboard would work, you should look to servers like Kings & Bandits that had fully functional leaderboards, and measures in place to prevent alt-farming and such.

Considering VZTZ had YT, want to explain how Solid farmed alts with server wide broadcasts on who was slain?

Exactly. Furthermore, there's no evidence of all of this alt-farming even though it was readily available to the hundreds that played during VZTZ's prime. Occam's Razor. Logic, deductive reasoning, and commonsense demonstrate why Silikten is just a bitter neckbeard. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I have never played any other emu's, and the only yellow text I am familiar with is from early 2000's /dueling.

However, I can imagine the following scenario:

Filthed corpse camping Bahamut in Guk.

Locations are not included in YT, so people start asking around, "Where is Filthed/Bahamut" (even people not in Holocaust or Founding Fathers because they want to kill Filthed/rescue Bahamut whatever..)

Finds out hes in Guk ice cometing a sweet innocent naked cleric at his bind.

Several guilds and independants arrive to Guk and some exciting PvP starts in multiple areas, between multiple guilds/independants.

Fun is had all around.

Location was shown from the version of YT that I had. That's why I enjoy it.

I'm so glad I am not one of those lowlife scumbags who don't play this server but keep coming back to make posts about random bullshit.

It's kind of an unspoken pop culture rule that Carlos Mencia is to never be mentioned or referenced again.

Xp loss is the best incentive to bc not yt

exactly why exp needs to be upped // exp loss needs to be removed or cut down A LOT -- i really dont have that much time - i would consider myself a casual player -- soloing as an 46 ench in wfp - i gain maybe .8% a kill .. with downtime and mistakes/roots or mezzes wearing off early i can safely say on average i get about 8-12% an hour. (not to mention the pvp that commonly happens in this trade area)

enough people log in - start up a guk group -- make a stupid mistake [happens after a 12-14 hour work day @2am] -- i die -- OH GREAT 20% EXP lost!!! GREAT WASTE OF 2-4 hours depending!!
