Actually a pretty accurate description of the classic rundown.

Nizzar's depiction of classic spot on, but it doesn't change the fact that EQ pvp was not optimized for min/maxers sporting full resist gear during kunark, let alone velious. PvP started out great in classic, was good in kunark, and took a dive at the end and worsened thru velious. Theres no reason to approach this the wrong way for the sake of nostalgia when we can make intelligent adjustments that actually provide a more classic pvp feel.
Can tell you right now, having nearly every spell resisted just because a player has circle of winter/summer or a dmf is the fastest way to kill this server for good (thats classic). The server needs to emulate the way pvp worked during this era, and the best way to do it will be to fix resists but still allow nukes/dots to land on players not wearing the appropriate gear. Thats how pvp worked for most of classic because most gear didn't have resists, and few people stacked the resist gear that did exist.
