The only problem with requiring "full raid forces" for any content on a server is, you're not going to see the numbers that P99 has.

Now if we're talking about 1 or 2 groups that's applicable, but I can't see a raid force coming together on a newer server like that.

I helped test this server and its gonna be grade A fun for people that enjoy classic but doesn't take classic numbers. Full raid force is 12-15 toons, so 1-3 groups max is needed. So with the possibility that everyone's boxing 3 it'll only take 4-5 actual people for a raid. Hope to see a lot of people here

When I mentioned a full raid force, I am referring to the custom raid mobs. They will require lvl 65s with damn near full PoP armor. These NPCs are rough as hell lol. They drop class specific weapons/armor that are better than any in GoD.

Other Raid mobs like Naggy/Vox/Trak/VS they will require 3-4 RL players to kill, so that would be 9 to 12 toons.

By the way, your host machine gives me wood.

epilz · #7 03-16-2015, 12:36 PM

lulz.....I have 8 more servers laying around....If my connection was faster, I would do hosting

Way way way overkill.

I hope you have a good launch though

epilz · #9 03-16-2015, 01:14 PM

Lol I agree Akka! It's what was available. My test servers are running in VMs though

Server sounds great, me and a couple friends are definitely planning on starting up on release day!

Hey so I am curious if beastlords/zerkers will be available to play from the start?

Karnon · #13 03-22-2015, 07:03 PM

I'm tired of places allowing MQ for warping. This may be exactly what will kill the cheaters. Bots / Mercs ruin things in my opinion. This might be exactly what I am looking for.

So many servers failed for me. (This is a personal thing. If others don't like it, that's fine. Everyone is entitled) I WILL check this server out on launch day for sure.
