Hey JChan. I was talking with around 8 of my gaming buddies about these new TLPs which originally we were interested in. We decided that they are missing something. Why not add a something unique that hasn't been done before? We'd love to see the below... 1. Free trade 2. 6 week expansion unlocks 3. PVP 4. double experience rate 5. Once the server reaches live; Free transfer to which ever server you want with unique titles for the final players! #5 would be the reward for making it to the end of a tough server cycle!
Why stop there. You thinking too small. May as well just have it every kill is a level up. Start with max possible gear... sigh Give me max possible gear for my newbie smashing fantasies. So on and so on. Oh don't forget.. I want to play with my personal 100 man raid with my max level and max gear! This is a single player game after all!
Im all for a PVP TLP. One of the worst and best experiences of my EQ journey was starting on zek with a cleric. I rolled for 3 months and was stuck at 18 having a miserable time (i couldnt kill anyone lol) ROOTED A LOT OF FOLKS BOYS. I re rolled SK and was hoooooooked. I think something like this needs to be well thought out and its a bit to late for this year. I would rather wait for the golden egg, next year please???
The server should also be boxer friendly, so all of the posters in this forum thread can play from the same computer.
Which will be the entire population of the server if they enable PVP. I think DPG should do a TLP PVP server.. but scale the monthly fee by the current player count. Everyone playing there (logging in for at least 15min per week) would get charged accordingly each month Say they need 15K/mo to break even on a server. You get 1000 people to play on it, your at 15/mo that drops to 100? your each paying 150/mo but you would right? you want this so bad and your so sure it will be popular right? because if 2000 people play, its 7.50/mo! You'd never accept that because you know it won't be popular, and you'd be paying through the nose for it. (or just not playing there)
Anti-PvP posters crack me up. The fact that most of them haven't even played EQ PVP, and then pretend like they have just to post how bad it would be is all over this forum. Instead of a PvP TLP that many people have asked for years we get this "Challenging Vaniki PVE Server"... If you guys want a challenging PvE raiding game go play WoW or FF like you anti-pvp people spew out to people asking for PvP in EQ. EQ is an easy game not meant to be a challenge, just a time sink and if you think other wise you're kidding yourself. Enjoy getting one shot by monsters 30 levels higher then you though. ZERG BABY to show how skilled you are... lololol
Free Trade was done last year Expansion unlocks are already unique this year No, PVP always sucked in EQ and was extremely niche Experience is already way too fast Don't care This server already has tons of unique things... Beastlord and Berserker at release. Veksar, Warrens, etc being useful as they will release with their continents for the first time ever. Content being more difficult as it will always release with a reduced level cap for players I am extremely excited for this year.
Sounds like EQ isn't the game for you...instead of telling people to go play a different game, why don't you?
Isn't the game for me? I play lots of different games depending on what I'm in the mood for, not just EQ because I'm not a weirdo. EverQuest isn't a challenging game and this Vaniki server is nothing but a sad attempt to make it more "challenging". Zerging = skill apparently to EQers Hopefully this will be a wake up call to the devs to not listen to whoever gave them this terrible idea for a server. It'll be dead like Miragul in no time. I don't play EQ PvP but even that would be more successful then I think this server will be.
Beats the hell out of not starting with the rest of the players & having to catch up later mostly solo or getting PL'ed, hated that.
But, it would be bad - PvP is not a popular thing in EQ, never was, never will be - I know that YOU might think its "da bomb" and that swell - Problem is, the vast vast vast majority do not want PvP and thats why you wont ever see a PvP TLP. Gotta just deal with the facts that no one wants it and carry on. Also, PvP in EQ sucks
