I would like to see some pvp here since the reason I played live EQ back in the day was because of the pvp, and being on the evil side, it was a challenge since every other race was targetting you. But, as a true pvp'er we followed certain player made rules (no attacking someone while they're on a mob, no corpse camping, Loot and Scoot -which was followed in the early days of Vallon Zek) which many players abided by.
What ruins that whole dynamic is the fact that there are those idiots who think themselves as pvp'ers when all they do is cheapen the "fair fight" aspect of pvp and wait for you to get your health really low and gank you or attack you while you have mobs on you...which I really HATE.
A true showing of how respect worked in pvp was when my old guild Infectus on Vallon Zek was raiding KD, we were midway through the castle and the top guild on the server, Defiant, showed up. Of course we were ready for them even though we knew we would lose due to them being the best guild and having all races, and we just having the Evil races with no rangers/druids/gaybards. But, as we pulled one more mob, they were around the corner, and just waited. They sat there and waited until we killed the mob and right when it was close to dead one of them shouted "Are you ready?" and our guild leader shouted back "One sec, rezzing a few" and they replied "Ok". And once everyone was ready and buffed up, we yelled out "Lets do this!" and had the best pvp match ever. Yes we lost due to them having the best gear in game, but that was a true showing on how it used to be when people followed the player made rules and respected one another. Not like now where more and more people zone/corpse camp, wait for you to get low on health, hack, it all sickens me. The only time you could corpse camp was when the player you killed didnt Loot and Scoot, but that was up to you, Ive let many people stay there and do as they wished as long as they left me alone.
Yes I'd love pvp on this server since I loved the pre-PoP days more (I love boat rides to OT, gives me time to make a sandwich and play gems) but it can prove to be a double edged sword. One side, you have people like me who pvp for roleplays sake and honor the rules. On the other, you have people who all they do is pvp. And there's that one side where the "pvp'er" is a hacker, ganker, corpse/zone camper and all around tool.
It would be nice but it just really depends on how many "true roleplayers" there are over "morons". I do miss those Nek forest/EC wars though. Lighties on EC, and Darkies on Nek and waiting for someone to pass through.

hehe, yeah - remember situations like that. Defiant was tough.. Iron Tower too, if you remember them - for a while. I think Defiant ended up the #1 guild on the server.
You remember the old 'lightie' guild Combine Resurrection? They played kinda hard core - only barbs, human, erudite.. mostly Qeynos area, wouldn't group with Elves, Dwarves, etc..
I was mostly in small guilds on Vallon, but I do recall seeing Infectus around. I started playing 'lighties' on VZ, but eventually ended up playing Dark most all of the time.
Another guild that I recall was 'Ministry of Hate' - they'd zone in or get a kill and /shout "Praise Hate!", lol
Dangit, I can't even remember what guild(s) I was in, there was a few and none really went to far on there. I think one of the lightie guilds was called 'Knights of Eternal Light' and ... Wicked Souls later in the game on the dark side, but there was another I was in for a while on the dark side, I just can't seem to remember the name!! Was mid-sized and around for a little bit... dang it, it will come to me eventually now that the thought is stuck in my head~
I mostly played a DE Enchanter there named 'Viiper' - hey you were Darkie? You remember a mother fucker named 'Dillweed'? He was like planar twinked or someshit - always in Oasis - ganking the hell out of people.
Once... my root stuck to him - yeah, he was twinked so that even when I was levels above him, WITH tash, I couldn't stick anything on him.. I was hanging with a RL friend who was playing an Ogre Warrior... root stuck on him (Dillweed the Rogue) - the warrior friend of mine jumped in on him - I just chain casted root. I was NOT about to let him move, if you got him 'low' on health, he's run off with Jboots and a couple minutes later, he'd be back at full health. But he stayed rooted and got owned - if you want to call it that. Was the last time I ever seen him.
