For better or worse here is a fun story to share.
[Preamble]
When I first started EQ that was years ago I started playing a monk, and I chose Rallos Zek, seemed like that would be fun. I was so new that I loaded up on leather armor without realizing there was weight penalty. And soon I realized that people wanted to kill me for it because RZ had item loot and griefing. And I used to get killed a lot at that time, often by the same people who just stayed in low level brackets for pvp.
[The Real Story]
So few month go by and I started playing an enchanter instead and eventually make it to Oasis leveling on crocs. And I get attacked by this wizard who used to kill my monk back in the days. There were a lot of usual pk's who simply leveled to 24 and stopped so they could pk in oasis. This was the same wizard. Well, this time he attacked me too late and I actually was finished with the npc fight by the time his root got me. Being an enchanter, half life, about half mana I had to do the only thing I could do. Charm him to pause him for a minute. There was this named giant locally that reminded me of Saddam Hussein. So I suddenly got an idea, and sent my new found pet to go punch the giant, while I ran for the zone when roots worn off.
I come back to the zone after zoneout, and that wizard cusses me out in /tells and threatens me. And lucky enough I run into him again a few minutes later. And the same story happened again, we went to have a talk with another giant.
Never had a problem with the same wizard again. I think that was the most rewarding pvp encounters ever for me. Since most were rather heartbreaking and painful.
So for anyone who ever got harrassed and killed out there on rallos, just remember it isn't always that bad. Bad guys get theirs eventually too.
