think there would definitly be more pvp going on with leaderboards.. but that it wouldnt be good for population in the long run because ppl would get slewn too often when trying to level, backstabbed, try and farm alts/friends for pvp points, etc.
it would be fun to have a leaderboard but if you slay newbs all the time, ppl will see the yellow/hear the word anyway. just think leaderboard puts too much pressure on ppl, especially if they see themselves at the bottom of the list and just get killed all day in solb they wont want to log in. on vztz if you saw newbs leveling you'd generally leave them alone.. but if there were a leaderboard there'd be a reason to go over there and kill them anyway. and this would be what everyone did all day when they were bored

Newbs being people in your 7 level range? I think of newbs as people who are low level. You could not kill those "newbs" on vztz unless they were in a raid zone. I know you know that, I just don't want anyone else to get confused. There are ways to organize the leaderboard that would make you lose points for killing "newbs", just like it was on SZ. If you were level 60, killing a level 39 would make you lose points. Greens grief reds in this respect knowing that killing them only 1 time is a loss of points. A green bind rushing a red could destroy any points the red had. This was a tactic that many greens used to grief reds and gain zone control, yet i never hear anyone talking about that, only that reds grief greens.
Again, if you do not have extensive experience with a well thought out EQ pvp board, you might tell off on yourself and let everyone know that you havn't thought it out very much. I lived it. I know what it's like from experience, and it's rare for anyone to talk about SZ's leaderboard or server in any form of credibility. People assume, yet have no idea.
People who try and farm newbs lose points, people who find friends who don't care that they lose points for dieing, will always be found out just like fastinyoh on SZ and Prime on VZTZ.
I understand some people don't really like to pvp, they only want to play on a pvp server to say they played a tough server without any of the challenge. They only want to pvp when they are ready. PvP servers in general are not for these folks. They just just duel on a blue server if that's what they want.
