I dont recall ever saying training promote pvp... post a link where I did? You could maybe infer it from some things I have said, maybe. I do recall saying that GM interaction based on PnP never helps because it brings in human error and the typical GM favoritism / corruption routine?
Training is not enforceable. There will always be people running into mobs on accident from PvP, people aggro'ing without knowing, and then in raid situations the "fuk it, just bring it with us we have to engage now" which should be valid imo.
As far as "player enforced" rules on TZ breaking down and someone getting a ban, there has been 1 name tossed around that I have seen. 1 guy, out of the 1500+ that played over a 4 to 5 year span. I'm sure there were more, but that does not mean that banning or even getting a warning for training was the norm.
Nobody gives a fuk about SZ, you and Macken fail to get this. That server was where all the disfunctional social rejects had to go because nobody on RZ/TZ/VZ wanted them anymore. I know 1 guy that went from TZ to SZ, and he was a bad, and could not get into any guilds because everyone knew of such. And that was after Kosta gave him a fucking RFS and he was still rejected.
Maybe your right, maybe the people that will be on R99 wont be half the community that TZ and VZ had during Classic / Kunark. Actually, you prolly are right and the R99 players will not be capable of policing themselves.
Too bad you kids need baby sitters. Thats the whole reason EQ PvP is great, the game mechanics are so open.
Who knows, maybe Uthgaard will come hold our hands for R99. Considering you caught a ban on VZ/TZ for jacking someone's gear, while my only blemish was CC'ing Roadblock and his brother / son / uncle / father / sister (whatever the fuck it was) for 5hrs and catching a 2 or 3 day suspension.
