Best PvP: P99, EQ, or EQ2?

[noob0021]

Hi there! I'm never played any Everquest game (so please be gentle), but I want to but confused as to which version of EQ is the best for me. I not really concerned with the "hardcore" aspects of P99 (although given the choice I prefer them). But for me the main thing is World PvP and rare/hard-to-obtain high-level weapons that allow me destroy anyone without those weapons. Do you think Everquest 2 satisfies these criteria?

Try Rise of Zek 2.0 when it launches in November - easily the best EQPVP experience out there these days.

DAoC had the best PVP of any MMO hands down.

Built in 3 realm/faction system, made for constant action and the best dungeons in the game we're open to all contested which made for some great memories, also a honorable mention was warhammer online. Links provided below to servers that have actual population.

Ya roz 2.0 easily the best experience these days, but still a pile of shit

[Zuranthium]

Guild Wars 1 is the best PvP ever, but that's not open world.

You were terrible on red99, your opinion is trash

I liked eq2 better tbh

Item loot high risk life makes good PVP.

Without risk its just not as fun. Losing for sake of losing is playing street fighter or any truly pvp games.

EQ games are about strategizing risk vs reward. Making a plan, making a trap. Being prepared for traps. Luck. Victory.

On this server I am pretty garbage in pvp game because I am west coast and zone so slowly. It really sucks. On live I always had an advantage there and here I just ghettoconnect due to server situation and it makes pvp pretty sad.

Isn't it true that on every PvP Everquest server, a guild eventually gets larger than all other guilds and starts to win more often because of that? Everquest doesn't seem to have a mechanic that counteracts a snowball effect.

I guess our characters are like snowballs. We add more snow (levels, gear, skills, spells) to the snowball at the fastest rate we can manage, and we make choices that will speed up our accumulation of...snow, I guess.

Eventually there is usually a dominant guild that raids most effectively until it implodes or something.

On high pop servers on live 2 or 3 were active on rallos zek but like ascending dawn was the bigger one.

With no pop servers its pretty much 1 guild at a time.

On item loot servers all the low level stuff is still fun and it doesn't matter so much what goes on at level 60 when the game is all about attending dragon death events.

Rallos - PVP for pixels, camp pixels, raid for pixels

Cucked emulators - camp pixels, raid for pixels

Welp guess there's no PVP item loot might as well go raid as my only option after getting my starter suit. No point in farming no drops, most might as well not even exist here.

[Palemoon]

Early rallos, then early sullon, then early red99 (first 6 months) then Shadowbane. In that order.

Every other "pvp" game i've played had no real consequences to the pvp so it was meaningless (including the aforementioned warhammer online)

Shadowbane emulator was very good recently

Looted all kinds of stuff from ppl

I've never seen such a succinct and eloquent argument for item loot. You must be a poet.

red was just a place for people who got banned for RMT and ruining the raid scene on blue to raid instead of them just re-rolling and shitting up things there forever

who are you guys kidding

[Tassador]

I never played blue but I did leave the raid scene there to pvp on red.
