pvp based server

chestbuster · #1 11-22-2006, 01:35 PM

I'd like some input on what people would like to see (or not see) in a pvp server.

I have a lot of experience in running daoc shards, I ran a popular shard a long time ago called Realm Invasions, the idea was solid but due to bandwidth restrictions (from an ever-growing player base) I had to shut it down.

So let me hear some ideas.

Make a guildwars pvp server.
I will pay half the monthly server costs....

it is because we only allow peoples to take a look at what we are doing .. this means you can't leave the tutorial (character generation).

That's too bad. Considering this wonderful open-source project, and the ability for so many people to run a server, it's too bad those who created GW server(s) cannot share and allow others to successfully fail at running one, too.

People seem to love the concept.

our source will be released once the server starts including the gw source

Source code for Gwars was released, because it falls under the GPL. Image released the last GW source before he went missing. I however never GPLed my database, My database doesnt fall under GPL therefore was never opensource. I am free to do with my work as I see fit. Much as other companies write software for Linux and charge a fee I am free to do the same.

Scorp2k Sold his server, why is what I do any worse?

I think what most are looking for is an entire server, ready to rock... not something that has to be pieced in to the existing Emu. That zip has a few cpp/h files in it, looks like a module of sorts. I guess someone with enough ambition could figure it out ~yawn~

I don't think you will get a very big population to start out with so I would suggest limiting the zones to Nektulos, LS, SolA/B Najena EC Nro Oasis Sro and customize some kind of high level zone, maybe Lguk (the drops in there are on par with Sol B) on the side somewhere. Off of Sro perhaps. Of course the starting zones would be neriak and freeport. Just make evils in neriak all others in freeport.

Don't try and do anything special like all these other people are doing like battlegrounds and other ideas. EQ pvp was good enough back in the day without this stuff.

Lvl 50 max, free for all and no level restrictions.

Old zones, no revamps.

Exp modification. I know I wouldn't play if it took me regular time to level, that's just dumb on a server that can go down at any time and be lost.

Just open more zones as the population increases.

Trust me, if you just bring back old school PvP then you will have a lot of people come to play.

I for one get frustrated with taking over cities, controlling areas ect. It's EQ it worked fine the first time, don't change it.

Old school PvP is where its at.

P.S. Don't open any expansions except for maybe Kunark and that's a huge maybe.
