I will be playing this server but probably not PKing unless PKed myself. I like to have the danger and possibility of being killed by other players, without necessarily partaking myself. That is one of the reasons I play a primarily KoS class. Any yellow text for my death is a little bit e-peen but I don't really care so let them rub it in - I've died a million times in EQ, many times I have fallen at the hands of the mighty decaying skeleton so some guy in the best gear exploiting a glitch or getting in the last hit to kill me whilst I am soloing doesn't really phase me.
Playing PVP servers doesn't necessarily mean you are going to kill everyone you see, you see. I would rather this were race war rather than all out PVP and didn't have exp loss when you die (can imagine rage quitting a few times thanks to that), but you can't have everything, and this will do just fine. In the end, EQ pvp is unbalanced, broken and technically quite rubbish, however it can be lot of fun and at least the option is there on a PVP server. Being good at it, however, is not really anything to be proud but if it floats your boat let them have their yellow text, makes no difference to me.
