EQ is a fucking dinosaur. Why the hell would anyone pick it up if they're interested in pvp, besides nostalgia? There's craptons of archaic and dated systems that make the learning curve huge, especially by a WoWer's standards. To say nothing of how shitty pvp in EQ is by pretty much any definable metric (imba as hell, super gear dependent, very infrequent, huge pve sink to get to pvp, world size/travel woes, exploits and tricks galore, etc)
I mean I get it for people who played in 1999, but even then nostalgia has to win out over an absurdly clunky and supremely unforgiving game. Going from a new mmo to EQ is like getting out of a sports car and into a 30yo pickup truck.
I can't see how that'd be fun for anyone. Even bluebies are clueless to the intricacies of EQ pvp, let alone a WoWer or something.
