Good deal... I think team PvP would really be the ticket. It was a lot of fun in EQ and if they can pull it off in a classic or progression setting, it would be awesome. I love the initial rush of a new server for EQ. So they thinking December? It sounds like this is more than talks to me.

Actually, I think the level limit is going to be narrower. Instead of +/- 8 (So level 52s are currently attackable by level 60s) it will be reduced to +/- 4. Thats what the devs mentioned in passing, anyway.
teams with a narrower level limit sounds like its gonna be pretty Blue... eh.

yeah... I wouldn't spread it to thin. At least split the difference. You want to have big rumbles when the server first opens up. Eventually people will all be max and have alts sniping newbies. Not sure if they'll want to put the development time in but I would make zones randomly have some type of spawn with special drops for everyone to hunt and fight over. Sometimes it can be raid level stuff or maybe there's a random frog lock that has some awesome loot that you have to track down that everyone goes for.. just something to get the packs moving and force fights.

new thread from the GMs in the PVP subforum on p99.org

PSA: Veeshan's Peak

do not go up on roofs or ledges for any reason or your guild will be raid suspended and your officers will get a week off.

I have implemented a mechanical solution for ledge exploitation in VP.

Abusing ledge Z-axis is considered an exploit of game mechanics and supersedes the limitation of the no-CSR help within Veeshan's Peak ruling.

Next patch, guides and GMs will be alerted to players entering these areas deemed off limits by GM staff. Players entering these areas may be moved by npcs to legal areas within the same room.

Until that time, abide by rules set forth by the CSR team.

Thanks.

If they just banned people who broke known rules they wouldn't have to waste valuable dev time implementing anti cheating mechanisms...

"Sorry guys, Velious is delayed again because GuildX couldn't kill Hoshkar without exploits and we don't have the balls to ban people."

they're big about proof before punishment on P99. the new code is to help them catch people. lots of people on P99 have handfulls of different log in accounts, making bans less effective.

i personally fraps'd them up on that ledge with Silverwing's corpse next to them

Zade, one of the red99 guides, was talking to me just before they pulled him up there, and said that he couldn't find an official post saying whether or not they're allowed to be up there, and that as long as they don't pull anything they're fine

about two minutes later, they did, and he flat out told me that he saw them do it

the rule has been well-known on the blue server for a year and a half, where a lot of their core members played and experienced it firsthand, and a thread was made in the red server forums a few days prior linking that thread because we had inside information that they wanted to use that ledge to avoid being trained(they hadn't killed anything in VP for weeks because of two bards training them out of the zone every time), and four members of nihilum who were there had posted in that thread, so to say they simply didn't know about it is ridiculous

they just get a slap on the wrist for some insane reason

sirken needs to man up and pull the trigger on punishing these pieces of shit that ruin the server; they constantly get away with retarded bullshit like this whereas others get punished for doing the exact same thing

But Sirken and Zade and whatever else guides like to jack off the Red community for w/e reason with events and other stupid shit. Plus teams is coming. They probably play on there. They wouldn't want to kill their baby. (too bad its already dead)

Are there really hardly any SK's on this server or is everyone anon?

It's the exact same way on blue or at least was when I played, the GM of the rival guild openly trained us on fraps and all that and nothing happened, Ranger epic piece off Inny got ninja'd and turned in and the GM's did nothing about it for months until they finally just summoned our rangers piece and just said, Oh well you get yours now, the fact that Sentenza is still around and won the BotB proves how corrupt it is, that guy has been caught training more times than I can count.

They wont ban people because if they did, they would have almost no population since everyone is dirty.

So a nice dark elf gave me clarity then a militia skele in the newbie area proceeded to rape me. I respawn and he is as gone as my clarity. So I took a break and rolled a ranger named Privateye.

Apparently halflings cannot be rangers yet. Crashed 3 times before I figured it out,hehe.

pretty much just have to take it for what it is: a shitty, corrupt server, but it's the only option if you want trilogy era everquest content

That's like saying, it's ok to fuck fat chicks cause they were the only ones left at 2am. I'd rather just go home and jerk off.

"Nihilum is currently banned from Veeshan's peaks for exploitation, after being severely warned in advance by players and staff.*I know most of you aren't surprise, but this is for those that still had any doubt on wether nilly MQ's exploits ...all of the above.Ender got 5 accounts banned for MQ / stripping / deleting characters. They are gearing him new toons.Handpartytowel compiles MQ's for them, they are currently leveling his next wizard after his previous one's ban for MQ abuse.Also, they are creating WoW addon like software to further facilitate PVE.Dragon defender, out."
