I would like to point out for those who live under a rock.

Pathing/wall detection/los detection on blue is fucked up beyond reasonable expectations.

But hey guys red99 is having gm events and has an xp bonus!

Thanks for the Red Server promotion, I approve.

The Development work that was recently done on Red didn't affect the Development work that gets done on Blue. And prior to this change, Red hadn't seen any kind of significant development in over a year. It was all being focused on blue and Velious.

In addition to that, GM's and Dev's are two completely different departments. One is CSR, the other is coding and content. While the CSR staff may sometimes contribute to development, it's rare, and the Dev team never does CSR at all.

But hey, thanks for the thinly veiled insult to the Development team that has been volunteering thousands of hours a year over the last 5 years to bring you a free recreation of classic Everquest for you to enjoy 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. I'm sure they are happy to hear that you appreciate their hard work. Sometimes we put in 12+ hours a day doing CSR, or coding/content for the devs, so it's refreshing to hear that people really care about what we're doing.

op is an idiot, but this is disingenuous

most if not all of the dev work (other than new raid system) gets shared between both servers

This argument has gone on since the beginning of time lol.

Bluebies: But if you make any changes to PvP, doesn't that mean that we, the true EQ players, are given less dev attention?! This is an outrage!

Red players: We just wanted some minor tweaks. The devs do nothing but ignore us, why is it such a big deal when we get our 1 PvP patch a year?

Devs: Oh god I want to burn it all down, please kill me [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I honestly could care less how much dev time is invested into the red server, I'm just so tired of seeing threads about your server and its plight all over blue forums all day. Red players trying to keep us bluebies updated on red server drama we dont care about, begging us to play red with them, calling us pussies when that doesnt draw us over, etc. etc.

Like holy shit its like having jehovah's witnesses at your door every single day.

Agreed.

As True Blue as I am, I want Red to be the best possible experience for those people as it can be.

I've never, even for a second, thought Devs should be doing things that benefit me more than other people. Likewise, I only play melee types and don't care how much time is devoted to caster problems. In fact, I hope as much time as possible is devoted to every aspect of P/R99. I generally trust whatever management system the Devs have in place and don't even give it a second thought.
