This new server happening or is it time to really move on from The Project?

I just started DAOC Phoenix. However EQ is the best!!! I would love to see a 99 Red Server, especially with a month more of quarantine... I used to play Vallon Zek, but moved to Sullon Zek which had the better ruleset. Three teams is perfect.

This server only lasted 3 months ( phoenix that is )

The playerbase for red doesn't have the passion and the community isn't strong enough to make R99 a good community.

Heretics were dedicated to slaying dragons and healthy pvp. They got lawyerquested by 2-3 cool and normal people with the stated goal of keeping the server dead and now 2/3rds of the active player base isn't allowed to raid or effectively pvp for a month.

In hindsight, do you think it's fair to blame the community?

There are two small demographics happy with the status quo, a niche group of guildless casuals that enjoy essentially a small multiplayer version of velious everquest and Tune and 2-3 of his friends. Heretic tried.

A new pvp server has potential to be a lot of fun and maybe attract a bigger population than many assume but I just dont believe (anymore) that the staff has the enthusiasm, motivation, willingness to invest time and/or labor into anything related to PVP.

I agree but u could put it a bit nicer [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

There are a lot of casual scum on red now. PvP will never happen unless we open a teams server. Most people just farm up to 'impossible resists' then halp their friends and RP elves. Which surprisingly is what I fought for for years, now that we have it, I am not so sure...

----- I don't think the staff has to try that hard to load a red v2.0 instance on the same box running red 1.0 its probably a virtual machine on someones pocket calculator teathered to an Elon Musk satellite and I know some of the evil hackers here know how to do these kinds of things. Red99 sure sometimes feels like I am connecting from orbit, very classic.

I believe the biggest issue with a new teams server is a lack of guides.

I want to guide pretty bad, I also like playing the game, I am willing to sit logged in on Mendasillia 2.v3a if I can box a character on blue and green and tab over to the petition queue on pinkish 2.1a every 1hr30 mins or so.

Yet I doubt the staff would trust me they are probably horrified at the aspect of giving me any kind of privileged account lol. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Don't blame them either, I earned my stripes here.

I _think_ *with what is left of the rational part of my brain* a teamsish, guild wars (guild wars like Baler be talkin about) would definitely bring at least 200-300 red players for a month or two.

P.S. real sorry heretics got obliterated (temporarily at least) in favor of the niche hardcores, but it was hilarious. It did bring some attention back to red.

You already know the answer.

Just take that first step.

There was 2100 people on yesterday. More than half that on average.

RELAUNCH THIS SERVER PLEASE - PvP TEAMS!! VZ/TZ or SZ rules. It’s perfect timing!

At time of writing, Red99 is at 33, Rise of Zek at 98..

RoZ allows boxing. P99 doesn't.
