This is why EQ PvP was actually pretty great during the classic era. On Tallon Zek, for example, you always had two "Tier 1" guilds that were basically neck and neck, with anywhere from 3 to 6 "Tier 2" guilds chomping at the bit.
Velious is the beginning of the end of EQ PvP, in my opinion. NToV gear is so much stronger than anything that it totally upsets the balance. With 100HP and 15sv all on every item slot, there's little a Kunark-geared player can do to compete.

The only difference is on r99 there's always going to be one top end guild because of the nature of everquest there's maybe 8-10 people in the top guild that enjoy pvp the rest are in for raids pixels protection etc
Its an oppressive an environment because of the nature of velious gear and the fact that on this server the smaller more pvp oriented guilds are generally outcasted because they're the vocal minority of people that want to play counterstrike with elves which in my opinion is the most fun way to play the game but apparently for alot of people its not and unfortunately they gravitate towards these bigger guilds
Its all a bandwagon and even with a wipe things wont change they're be a top end guild and 1-2 small pvp guilds red servers are a self repeating cycle especially when the same 200 people continue to play them in whatever iteration they may be in
