Reebit- correct there is no exp gain from PVP kills. There is a stupid global OOC channel that people will talk trash on and also shows PVP kills. The was based on feedback from other emulated PVP servers that each lasted like 1 month before they were zero pop and these EMU pvp players somehow managed to get staff to put forward mega unclassic things. The intent of this was to encourage more PVP so people could flock to the PVP encounter area and get involved. The PVP death announcement is called "Yellow text" but in reality it seemed to reduce people's willingness to PVP because they would then be mocked on global OOC channel in real time after their PVP defeat. Literally no one knows why the hell global OOC and yellow text have not yet been removed when all other aspects of project 1999 have tried to be as classic as possible.

Iksar necro could be a really fun leveling path, going through all the kunark zones where you may not have adventured before, but again, play a class you're going to enjoy. Necro's aren't the most powerful in PVP for a variety of reasons but really there is not a lot of PVP happening, and their level up and adventuring experience is top tier.

Also spend some time thinking about how you buff yourself if you have spells. Consider "top slot" which is the concept that most non beneficial spells will land in the top slot of your spell array and your dispell items or spells have a higher chance of working against that top slot, so you want your enemies spells like Dots and stuff to land in your upper slots.

You want to use every single buff you have available to you whenever there is even a chance of PVP. Unlike blue, all these things matter. Magic resist is the best stat.

People use items like "telescope" to be a junk buff that leaves the top slot open.

I am only telling you about these strategies to get you excited about how much deeper everquest with PVP enabled is. There are hundreds of items that mean nothing to anyone on blue server that are gold on red.

What are some of the classes you are interested in? Forumquest discussion of PVP classes is one of my favorite past times.
