Red-recycle server petition

[DRAGONBAIT]

Im just wondering, we as a community are not even thinking on trying to petition them to make a red recycle server? we could try it guys, get together and ask for it even throw them some donations if needed, wathever. But i feel we deserve another chance like the blue guys will have.

thoughts? what could we try to do to change rogean and those guys minds? im up for anything, even donate.

PD: we do some crowdfunding, get some plats together and toss em to them see if they change their mind, im up for it

I'd love to see some kind of petition or poll that would truly gauge the amount of interest people have in a fresh Project 1999 pvp server. I would suggest the poll/petition/guestbook or whatever it is be open for a long time, since some old players may not check the forums religiously. Cheers, Dragonbait.

No one wants to play with blue GMs enforcing blue rules on a red server

i dont understand what u mean, red has its own rules. and as its been discussed many times on this forums, they had flaws at the start, like exp penalty on a pvp death and such. they are ok now

He's not talking about hardcoded rules. Or maybe he is. But he's more likely talking about rules against training and dispelling mobs.

That was THE worst experience ever and the worst way to invite people from Blue to join. Oh man! Who made that decision? ;D as soon as the patch turned off xp penalties, it was super fun to me. Except... it may have already been too late.

Most of the PvP action is 50+ (although I also particularly like 39~50 pvp, if population). If reset (and copy our current red's to blue), I don't want a Green pvp server... I just want a RED reboot!

* Same loot rules as now -- good
* SIGNIFICANT pre 50 xp boost. We're here for pvp and not pve. Give people a reason to ditch their other servers to do this.
* Keep current red experimental stuff -- pet window. Global ooc I REALLY like for pvp, but .... probably could do away with it if relaunch. Could automatically add global OOC if <x population?

Subjectively, when expansions are out there (or if population blows), allow /servercopy from blue to red to invite higher population. Even if people just copy their chars to dick around, that's more than we're experiencing now. Or maybe with a reboot, there may actually be a big flow of population where we wouldn't have to worry. The launch was just super unfortunate with the ruleset. And people coming for the pvp would have a grindfest, so no xp boost imo was a mistake.

I love my chars now, but ... I also love pvp. I tried Blue a bit and I just couldn't get into it. No thrill. No extra quest for sv gear. Guilds mean nothing - no trust system. No "infamous" people and no "heroes". Things have less meaning on Blue.

TL;DR: Copy current chars to blue, keep same rules, reboot with massive pre-50 xp boost, auto-grant global ooc when <x pop.

There is already a better server doing this, Rise of Zek. They start the next server in 2 months or so that will eventually be recycled into the original server. Rise of Zek has devs that care about PvP and they have gotten the PvE aspect in great shape since starting the project last year. The only custom things on the server right now revolve around PvP balance (resists, item effect duration like Tstaff, CoTH lockouts during PvP, translocate lock out during pvp).

you know, roz is ok. but the community is splited up and we all know what would happen if we got a fresh red server on p99.
