I love PvP in MMOs.
I love EverQuest.
I do not love EverQuest PvP. It just doesn't feel like a game that was a) designed for it and b) is good in a PvP context. Just my two cents though, I know some people have a blast on PvP servers.

EQ pvp back in the day had plenty of warts. Out of level range and cross teaming healers come to mind immediately but there were plenty of other issues. That said, it gave you a sense of nervousness and tension when you were trying to sneak through a zone or area that was controlled by an enemy team because you truly had something to lose if you were killed in pvp. You'd either be 'coined' (VZ and TZ) or lose an item (RZ) not to mention the possibility of being corpse camped. I have only really experienced that sense of tension in one other game and that was Shadowbane where you lost everything you were carrying when you died. I miss that feeling but not enough to play on a server that peaks at 100 players.
