Lol it's funny to hear these Red players talk out of their ass about how they would grief under SZ rules. As if there weren't hundreds of people back in the day who attempted to do the same.

"Yeah I'm just going to walk my 60 Warrior into Unrest and lock down the zone forever, good job stopping me."

No, you won't. For several reasons:

1) Your guild/team will have need of you to be fighting people your own level most of the time. Sitting around in Unrest means you're a useless strategic asset to your guild/team and basically a terrible player. If you choose to PK newbs rather than be in the middle of a 50 man battle outside KC or Seb, you fail at EQ PvP.

2) Your presence in a newbie zone will not go unnoticed and unreported. You will have a handful of 50-60s porting in and hunting you down within 10 minutes. If you piss people off by doing this repeatedly, you will get corpse camped for hours at a time.

3) At the end of the day, you will get bored of killing lowbies pretty quickly. It's about as fun as running around one-shotting decaying skeletons.

SZ was a much more hardcore server than Red 99, and high levels masscaring newbs was for the most part the exception rather than the rule, simply because it's more difficult than you'd think (due to team assistance and zone control/guard training), it gains you absolutely nothing, and it gets boring very quickly.
