Velious the kiss of death for pvp
So I was initially excited about velious having hopped back on the forums from a forumquest hiatus. Further investigation makes me less optimistic. It is abundantly clear that red has gone from a pvp server on launch to a personal pve server/rmt scheme during Nizzar's reign, to a blue server overflow raid server that currently exists. The poopsocking on blue has gotten so bad that red is a pretty large attraction and much less of a joke server that it used to be.
From a pve standpoint velious will offer raiders all the content they can stand, with years of 5 day a week raid schedules. The arms race of buildup will begin on day one with clean sweeps of velious mobs. Only problem is this arms race is on a 1 guild server with likely no serious pvp competition. I have talked with many of the old school pvp players and few plan to play with even fewer willing to raid in velious. I assume we can expect more blue players to migrate in the future as blue poopsocking intensifies, and people that actually enjoy pvp being unwilling to put in the recruiting and raiding needed to actually compete with the raid zerg that will steamroll everything with double to tripple the numbers the content was designed for. Someone tell me I'm wrong, because I really hope that pvp brawls will happen on a scale that would make the server exciting, but I doubt there is enough people left on the server to contest the 125-200 man zerg that is going to happen on day one.

Lime,
You are on the ball here. PvP on this server will basically be 1-2 groups with faction looking to mess with raids with a 1 guild server running the shop. You may get a #2 guild if players don't keep flooding to the #1 guild, but either way we have already seen the end of mass pvp on R99 in the past 6 months.

Zones will be even more empty than they are now, pvp on the scale you wish for won't happen, bc it isn't even happening now despite some nerds doing the same boring content for years and years now.
Its been proven here that zerging is the easiest and best way to dominate the raid scene, and it will only intensify when winter comes. Alliances will need to be formed to challenge the zerg, but with each passing week those challenging guilds will lose members to holo as ppl get bored of not being able to have a chance against them. You're looking at a ~300 max at any time population, with a large zerg and a bunch of people that only want to shit on each other nonstop and mostly avoid pvp. This server is pretty boring and not really worth investing time into, unless you wanna join holo to look at some raid content with 3x the numbers needed for it. Its fun to join a guild like foh and just do whatever and not worry about the shitfest that is the majority of this server. | ||

Agree with OP, but the blame lies on the ineptitude of the competition here who would rather fight amongst themselves than the enemy.
