Post here every time you are disappointed by no Red 2.0 news

Red 1.0 eventually came after years of what were essentially begging.

Blue release to Green release was X years (i don't know how many) maybe Red release to Red 2.0 release will be the same number of years. Maybe these guys like symmetry.

I just really like good quality EQ PVP and outside of winning the lottery I don't see a better way to make it happen than to hope that p99 staff makes the effort to host a second pvp server, with some attention to additional detail that have been discussed ad nauseum.

We've discussed the pvp ruleset, the expansion issues, the legacy item issues, the clicky item issues, the bow damage issues

Most have easy fixes and even if aren't fixed perfectly will be worth giving the whole experiment a second go.

Actually I just thought of a hybrid ruleset I hadn't considered.

Nilbog's 2 teams, infinite PVP range, Item loot with 4 lvl pvp range.

If any OOR does any damage to a slain player at all, the player is not lootable.

Buffs have 10 level range so OOR buffs can't be used for murdering.

This opens the possibility of twink hunting while still allowing some security for players, and the fact that an enemy twink can be corpse camped by a high level logged out nearby.

Say the east siders had a level 60 or 2 defending unrest, you might get a couple buddies to go attack said level 60 defenders of unrest, and then attack with your twink PK the enemy teams players trying to level.

Win win. More reasons to battle with even more strategies. The idea is to incentivize low level PVP which is my favorite part of the game, versus totally de-incentivize it like we had with red 1.0.

The unlimited PVP range is the ULTIMATE de-incentive to low level PVP or at least player killer activities, but at least it doesn't allow twink PK's to exist strictly for the sake of getting their jollies from causing grief.

But basically any pvp enabled ruleset that is substantially different from our existing ruleset would be fun to try.

Teams PVP with no item loot and limited pvp level range would be the worst possible 2nd pvp server and I probably wouldn't play.
