True, and the server won't have a large enough population to make delevelers a pain I think. When you're looking to level there will be plenty of places you can go.

I'm just saying, I remember armies of lowbies at the Nektulos newbie log that couldn't defeat the deleveled troll trio. Every spell resisted, they regenerated at an alarming rate for their level, and were like living gods. I'm dead serious when I say I don't want to see that again.

Some say it's part of the game, I say it never should have been to begin with. That's what I mean when I say "PvP does not mean 'PvP' for some people, it means gank and generally act like a douche". The beauty of Sullon Zek was that that mechanic was impossible, and even though Fansy exposed other serious flaws they were patched. A trio of people running around Nektulos killing lowbies? Bring in the big guns and kick 'em out! Couldn't do that on RZ.

Deleveling won't be as bad if there's no item loot though. They will only be an annoyance, not a major frustration factor.

EDIT: I can't remember if this troll trio was Velious era or not. I seem to recall people saying they had higher level no-drop gear, but during Velious I moved permanently to Sullon Zek (before quitting with Luclin for the greener pastures of Dark Age Of Camelot which had infinitely better PvP than EQ ever had, but lacked everything else). I don't remember when Sullon Zek came out so I don't remember how much time I spent on RZ during the Velious era. My memory of 10 year old videogame moments is very fuzzy.
