Agree with Secrets and Searyx. The install is really simple in my opinion, but most people are too lazy, or just don't care about EQ at all. Not sure why we all still love it so much, but I think its a great game.
In regards to the pvp servers...
If farming NPC's is being a bluebie, than you're all a bunch of bluebies. There are two purposes for killing NPC's, to get drops, and to attract players that can fight each other.
Do you want to farm the same old zones you've been farming for years, with a small chance of someone contesting you, with no actual reward for the victor other than yellow text?
Or do you want to farm those zones, for yellow text, item drops, and points that allow you to purchase even more upgrades that you would not otherwise get from drops? Without having to do some horrendous CR if you die. You only have to wait 30 minutes to summon your corpse. The purpose of giving pvp points from guards is to draw players to that zone for MORE PVP, not so they can get free "pvp gear" from PVE. Why? Because its easier and faster to get to someone in Freeport, than someone in hate.
Its time to make EQ pvp better. Contesting people in raid zones is so played out. Why not see who is really good at the game? How is this done? By creating more group pvp, more often. Rewarding for people with high KD ratios which is displayed by the gear they have earned (pvp points), the leaderboard, and the constant spam of yellow text.
Which do you prefer, seeing the occasional yellow text not knowing if that person is even good. Or seeing the same crew that rolled you last time, knowing that their mage who always gets the yellow text, is only as good as his team?
I enjoy both servers, and thank you to the devs for doing the work. I play on Secrets box atm because there are more people. But I dont think it will last. If you do get bored for whatever reason, I hope you go to K&B instead of just quitting while waiting for the pipe dream of red99.
