If they did there wouldn't be 1 twink running around MM there would be 20+

Imagine how much you would complain then.

Twinks don't bother me. I've told you that.

Back to blue, Mr. Solo Paladin.

There’s an ignight type poster every year here who is preaching how great the box is and how everyone who doesn’t play is a loser and doesn’t want to contest or something. Better off to just ignore them.

Never said the box was great. Never said everyone who doesn't play was a loser. Just think that crying on the forumsbabout the good ole days, or wiping the server is a waste of time.

Sorry your a fail.

Ignight = Tune's alternative personality.

Basically, it boils down to the fact that for most people, EQ is a PvE game first and adding a bit of PvP flavor to it makes it more exciting. When the PvP becomes such that PvE is no longer viable, many people become discouraged and uninterested in playing. The counterstrike with elves meme, despite being a vocal minority on the boards, is not really what most people seem to enjoy based upon the server pop and failure of try red posts. By making the rules such that PvP is there for the ability to contest raids and camps [and of course the usual skirmishes and fucking around] but then there is a winner and life goes on for at least some significant duration to allow for people to kill pixilated goblins and dragons, we would likely see more people interested in playing.

In classic you'd have people like Natural at the evil eye spawn in Guk who would literally just bind themselves there and bind rush to stop you from ever being able to do the PvE even if you won the PvP over and over. For some of us that in and of itself is a thrill, but again I'd argue for the vast majority of people that becomes uninteresting and they quit in frustration, because even if they "win" they still can't slay some everquest frogs.

This right here.

Does saying "Fact:" make your statement that much more important?

Fact: You have a April 2018 join date. Tell me about the good old days. An HB alt account? Maybe.

The point is, Tune doesn't define my game. He seems to have that power over the lot of you. I log in, I do my own thing, and I log out. If you think that a server wipe would bring back the hundreds of players, why didn't RoZ do as well? Why is wiping what's left of Red 99 necessary if so few play here? Dead99, remember?

Or is this just about screwing over whoever is left of R99?

If you think you're right, prove it. Make an emulator with your rules and you and your friends as GM. See how far you get.

i did not read this reply

seems i struck a nerve based on the length, though

I assure you there are plenty of us who would never play on RoZ but would easily come play a fresh red server associated with P99. I don't even know what RoZ is, all of the people I played with have no clue what RoZ is, thousands of people know what p99 is.

It stands for Realm of Zek or something. To be honest most people advertising alternatives to p1999 fail to sell them to me.

When I heard of p99 I was sold as it was advertised based on the positives (and not by dissing live). All the alts to p99 have been "p99 is bad, try this instead". Sorry, I enjoy p99, so no.
