This sounds intimidating and exhilarating.
How often do people create EQ emu servers? Do we think someone will make an item loot PVP server sometime soon? It would be cool to see how it goes.
Honestly, I would bet the interested audience would be a smaller pool than that of Red99, but I could be wrong. Maybe if the PvP scene on such a server was hot enough, it would exceed Red's population.

I've always been biased towards item loot because of playing on Rallos when it first opened, but honestly, having seen how small the remaining PvP community is for this game, and how many people avoid PvP here even without risk of item loss because of the time lost due to CRs alone, I'd say the interested player base would be pretty small.
Rallos worked because of the multifaceted community, with pks, neuts, and anti pkers offering a little something for every play style. There just aren't enough players left to recreate that same social dynamic.
The only way I think an item loot server would work would be either a Discord ruleset server with perma death, quick xp, full item loot and a consistent wipe cycle in place, or a regular PoP-era PvP server with item loot enabled. I think the abundance of PvE content coupled with the AA system in place to keep players of all walks interested in bettering their character past max level would draw a fair crowd.
