This deserves a good answer, because there are good answers to all of these questions. Unfortunately I'm crunched at work right now.

That being said, how does EQ pvp compare? I know literally nothing about it.

The pvp has a lot of varriations to it. It can be a gank fest, where you see a name in the zone you're xping in and you have htat feeling 'oh shit im going to see some pvp becuse I know im in range' and then BAM some wizard just starts nuking you.

It can be group v group where your group fights another group of people, or group v 1 like you have a small group of pals porting around looking for people in range to engange. or 1 prerson doing that etc.

it can be mass pvp, where there is all kinds of shit going crazy all over the place and you just look for people to hit or follow assist calls from your leaders.


I don't see how any melee character could compare to a caster in this game.

melee's actually do quite well against casters if they are clever. there are lots of "tricks" that you can use as you get more experienced to dodge spells.

A melee has a big advantage indoors vs out doors. in mass pvp a melee usually can get more kills too becuse you dont have to worry about mana and you can duck in and out of the fight.

Also what are the rules? What does loot and scoot mean?? Are there level restrictions? Is it a free for all or is there some sort of faction/structure?

rules are 5 level range (level 56 can hit a 60 but level 55 cannot) no factions, just your pals vs your "less" pals or strangers. Loot and scoot is designed so if a player doesnt want to pvp and wants to just get his corpse they can call LNS and they must be allowed to loot thier corpse, and must 'scoot' from the zone and not return for like 1hr.. idk ive never called it.. ok i didt once like my first week but i felt dirty afterwords.

What keeps a group member from randomly turning on the rest of their group?

Just honor and respect i guess... if you are being a jack off and are OOR to me and I can port you can bet im going to cast port, kick everyone from the group and drop you off in tox if i can [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Do you lose XP when you die in pvp? Or items or anything?

nope! just self respect.
