Though life may make this next phrase come back around to be annoying to me later. Once you stop caring if you die to someone on a game it is very freeing. I am sure there will always be some amount of me having envy for being a bad pvper but I think to some degree, hopefully, forever, it wont bother me so much. I know this is blasphemy to EQ but this game really is just a nerdy game for people pretending to be elves. But if we didn't pretend to be elves, (or dwarves.) then all nerds would be is Darth Vader. Though darth vader is definitely cool, maybe we need to be nerdy elves, for life to be balanced. I feel when I play EQ with pvp, items have more feel to them and you have a higher sense of accomplishment.

I came to red99 looking to play rallos zek style. On rallos zek, there were anti PK's, and there were PK's. Anti PK's were most of the server, and they frowned upon cold blooded murder. I liked doing low level PVP stuff when orcs were still a threat. Flowers of happiness style and FOH wasn't all about swamp legends it was a guild any bad guy could get into if they chose to be in the most hated guild on the server, being FOH tagged on rallos meant you were KOS to everyone else on the entire server because you were a known PK scumbag.
On Red99, it turned out everyone came over with way POST 1999 game ethics and came to "win" not to quest. They played like it was WOW or whatever, or maybe they were all just dedicated PK guys looking to crush it the old way. Either way there was no organic Anti PK / PK environment it was just pretty hateful with EXP loss on PVP death , no penalty for the PK player since he couldn't lose any items and wasn't trying to level up EXP so no loss there.
In response I just decided to be a good guy because trying to find the 1 or 2 people trying to level up on red99 and murder them when they were 10% HP due to fighting a mob just isn't the same when you're talking about limited amount of new players that just won't come back.
I dunno. Plus I chose a cleric and we aren't that great at murder.
Red99 is the best. All p99 servers have full blown psychopaths but server rulesets wise and petition quest wise, red99 is way better.
