CoH PvP 2: Any Interest In This Server Idea?
 

A lot of things are still up in the air right now, but here is the general idea:

• Max Level: 51
• Fully PvP with 1 item loot
• Customized SMALL World (About 8 zones total - City, several hunting zones, dungeon nexus which branches out into several other dungeons.)
• There is one safe city where all players begin and 1 additional town (perhaps a rival faction?)
• Players may create their own guilds
• All players start as 1 Human Warrior
• Players may change their class anytime after finding Lore, No Drop item 'X' (ie. "Tome of the Magician", "Tome of the Monk", etc...These will be rare drops. Changing your class preserves your level, skills, spellbook, items)
• Players may change their race after finding Lore, No Drop item 'Y' (ie. "Essence of Dark Elf", "Essence of Iksar", etc...these will be rare drops)
• All items are No Drop
• All Spells are Dropable
• Classic CoH Loot system (If you're not familiar with this, it basically includes most Live loot up to about Kunark armor strength. Equipment drops randomly from mobs of the appropriate level and, in general, drop rates are high. Because of the high volume of items, you may never see the same item drop twice)

I may have forgotten a few things, but I think those are the major points.

Our ultimate goal is to develop a server where players don't choose their race/class right from the start, but, rather, they 'fall into' a certain race/class depending on the drops they get (spells, items, item X, item Y). I've been discussing it with a few people and it seems like it would be a lot of fun.

Would anyone be interested in playing on this type of server? Any feedback?

So when you say you keep spells, does that mean you can still cast spells that arent from your class if you last change classes?

i played on the origin of this server.
CoH 1 if you will..
There were 2 factions, freeport and Qeynos.
The PVP was quite intense with the small world. Unfortunately, the factions were lopsided. Once one side got stronger than the other side, no one wanted to be on the weaker side.. So all new characters created went to the weaker side, people played for a day or 2 while the stronger side womped them, and they decided not to play anymore.
Full pvp means no more teams? Not 100% sure on it since it still has CoH in the name.

I will say the GM/Dev did a great job, and was creative in the linear expansion of character progression from level 1. Picking sides, getting equip etc etc.. and the world set up was nice and tight.


The idea of starting as a human warrior is interesting, and the race/class progression is interesting.

I dont like the idea of being able to change with the Tombs.

The spells would remain scribed but unusable as the new class. So they could potentially come back as that class again and use those spells.

Additionally, they would have to remove all gear before changing their class to prevent the wrong class from having certain items equipped. And as far as race/class combinations go, they could choose to be a Troll Wizard if they want, but a lot of items may not fit them.

me/zark will play if you bring this out. Btw you still in school? or will you leave us again in 6 months? ;p.

PS: sup kedra.

Yea, still in school. We're really just getting feedback right now on whether or not the public thinks it would work. We're not sure what we're going to do with it yet.

I think it'll work. I liked COH1 alot. This idea seems cool.

Sounds good to me

Hey, it's Xebekn. I would play more than likely and wtf CC. Play the emu but not our emu? You're gay.

P.S. Why is my handle Xebeknsz banned? lol

"You have been banned for the following reason: You are horrible at EverQuest.

Date bane will be lifted: Never"

sorry xeb :( i don't play on bluebie servers : ).

Meh, fair enough. I actually quit before item loot was taken out so props please. I would still play though if I wanted to play EQ at all. Get on aim.

!
 

ogod. It would be amazing to get that server up and running. If it was as as much fun as I had on CoH1 I'd be on a ton.

--Jeice

CoH 1 was the shit, that server was so badass, you need to come back out with it or something alot like it. These new rules are cool I still think there should be 2 rival factions like last time, and you can just pick a class and make it rather than tomes. With item loot will there be pts again to raid ST?

P.S. sup kedra and CC (im still palying vztz lols)


P.S.S. Warsaint banned my main account Kazowi lol because i rattted him out for hacking

Kedra you got a forum up and running?

PS: VZ = blue world.

VZTZ is a great server in my opinion, but I also never played COH, I heard everything is custom and it's a great pvp environment. I think that's what more players are looking for judging by the population on VZTZ. Unfortunately content can't be raced out on it so having another pvp server would be great, especially with all the great stuff I heard about CoH. By the way what does CoH stand for, call of heros?

No forums or anything yet. Like I said, we're still in the brainstorming phase. I may put something up later.

It doesn't stand for Call of Heroes. Why is everyone so concerned with what it stands for. It is what it is... just accept it. :rolleyes:

Becuase it's there, and it's clearly a acronym, that's like saying my name is R.A. Johnson and saying R.A. is what it is; it's an abreviation for something.

EDIT: You'll keep getting these kind of questions if you leave them unanswered, not from me but other curious players.

Im definatly interested in playing... any chance of unlocking the server so some people can alpa test it?:P

we want coh back =(

Didn't play on CoH 1, but I am dying for CoH 2! There are no real PvP servers around now, and I have a group of friends on VZTZ that would also move to CoH in an instant.

Bump, what's the status on this server just saw it locked on the server profile the other day.

Panda will help beta test if need be.

so i played your server and it was quite amazing. please for the love of us poor fucks stuck in vz/tz trying to relive its glory...

LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN.

tz/vz is this horrible server im playing right now where NO ONE CAN LOOT A DAMN THING and you have to spend countless hours running around with no maps because "its just not classic"

well fuck classic. your server was a hybrid of pure wonderful and i will be forever limp in tz/vz /ooc'ing "I WAS A HERO ONCE"

reasons for love
1.your zone setup was genius. you didnt need to have 4 characters to get from point a to point b.
2. necklace that everyone started with that casted gate.
3. decent weapon found from my first fungus spore kill LOLZ.
4. i actually had nightmares of jeffrys red skeletal structure.
5. everyones killable WHOWAY!

the idea for coh2 sounds witty and im sure it will be much fun.
BUT...you could justthrow coh 1 back up and watch your server flourish :)

but i actually liked the qeynos freeport idea alot. i wish youd keep it :(

(if you need any help clarifying bugs or waht not let me know) -panda informed me in tz/vz that this might actually happen.

server sounds awesome
 

This server sounds awesome but i would do one thing and that is put alot more zones in, most of the pvp is going to happen in a couple zones as it is might aswell make alota places to exp, gear, raid

I'm pretty sure they could add more zones if needed. I'm pretty sure they'll do alot better with the next server.

Delete this post.

Bump.

Cmon Kedra!

Was thinkin about CoHpvp server while signing into eqemulator.net and did cohpvp.net and kedras forum came up lol

Hey CC,

Panda here, yeah I cornered the poor guy on AIM and offered to help pay for like 3 months server hosting if he brought it back.

I am glad to see he put the site back up, at least somewhat, it was down for so long.

Exciting stuff I missed CoH.

Later man oh and Qeynos ftw.

What would be the xp rates?

I would be interested in a high rate pvp server. I dont wanna have to play for 1 month just to max out in levels. Make it like 4-6x. Have pvp kills give points or somthing so you can buy good as gear.

I'd definitely give this server a shot. Personally, I would prefer being able to just pick a race and class to stick with rather than having those things be changable on a whim, but I think I'll find the server interesting either way. I've never really enjoyed itemloot, but I'll cope.

hey panda, yeah i miss CoH also it was crazy fun, I was surprised how good the server was when i first played it. Hopefully it'll come out again.

CC you weak ass. Give up your ego and come play.

Nothing could be more fearsome than a ogre cleric.

Ogre bard.

Troll Necro! :D

CC come back dude we need you, bring coh back too kedra

Just a small update:

I've had zilch time to get any work done on this project.

However, I have toyed with the idea of trying the newest emu build with the original CoHPvP to perhaps spruce it up a bit and bring it back.

No promises, but we'll see. I'm still trying to get the other admin back into emu (I think he's off playing with his Wii).
