Server pop will hurt when people trying to grind run into people 8 levels above them maxed out in unlootable gear. With 8 level PVP range it means it is going to take 16 damn levels to get out of PVP range from a twinked clown.

Guy that want no item loot are obviously pansys or want to have free reign on griefing once they hit 50 with their mains and can start making twinks. You're sacrificing the entire rest of the game in the name of allowing people to wear mithril greaves when they get them. Gimmie a break.

I'd be far more concerned about the VZTZ crowd trying to shit on "bluebies" every chance they get, just for the lulz, with or without item loot, than I'd ever be about some guy quitting because he had a bronze BP looted off him. I mean shit, people like Salty (massive bluebie himself btw) are already trying to make lists of people to grief. These are the people that pride themselves on trying to dwindle the population because of a 'lol i made u rage quit' mentality.

The community that populates the server will affect the longevity of the server far more than anything else will. I can only hope that the VZTZ side is balanced out by enough real PVPers and "bluebies", else we will likely see the same old people trying to grief the population away til there's only those ~50-100 people left logging in on any given night.

And yes, a few months into the server we will likely see twinks popping up. When you can stay at level ~10-14 and bind in gfay with a full set of unlootable twink gear, what exactly will deter you from steamrolling lowbies 24/7? At least on RZ the undergeared could band together and potentially benefit from fighting them off.
