The dead/defeated/deleted are going to cry about "exploiting dragons" as long as EQ Emu exists.
The truth is that PVP in EQ sucks. It was never by design intended to be the "main course" of Everquest but instead a "spice". And there are some people that just cannot stomach the flavor.
Red99 needs to stay the way it is for the long term. People will come to know and expect how things are and in the long run it will help the "business" of Red99 to grow.
If we second guess the direction and what we can do to "improve business" of Red99 the changes can often chase away your dedicated core of players.

Thing is, itll never grow more than a bit. Because theres only a small amount of "basement dwellers" that find the server setup fun, its not rocket science.
EQ1 just isnt deep and fun enough on its own to warrant all that grind just to be able to have fun in pvp.
Even eve online, which is considered one of the harshest death penalties for dying in MMOs, isnt as harsh as Red99 is. But Eve online has a huge amount of things to do compared to what you can do in EQ1.
The death penalty in EVE can be compared to the ruleset of Rallos. You get to decide what kind of penalty you are willing to risk. Your ship and components is the "gear" you wear.
The only endgame that EQpvp (or at any level, actually) has, is fighting over shit. And the ruleset makes sure that its not going to happen that often.
These people are blue to the bone. Theres no way in hell i would have played EQ back in the day if there wasnt a PVP server. Blablabla pvp is just a little spice. No, its the whole fucking game to players like me. The PVE is the side dish. What theyre really saying is that they dont like EQ pvp. So why the fuck did you decide to play on this server? Oh yeah so you could sit on good spawns with your huge fucking zerg guild to PVE 24/7 and not have to call camps on blue.
Im guessing the reason why we have nihilums still pushing for the status quo is because it benefits them. They dont want people contesting their raids in pvp. They want to be able to make people forfeit just by the size of their roster.
Sounds like a bundle of fun to me
