Here's why I don't play eq pvp servers: killing other players in everquest is obviously completely unfair due to the antiquated class system, which was regressive even when it came out because it's only competitor, ultima online, used an arbitrary skill based system. But PVP in uo was fun because there were actual stakes in the form of all the loot on your corpse and potentially all the loot in your house. It organically spawned criminals, police, mafia-like protection rackets. It was so rich and full of potential.
EQ pvp is like hey I'm gonna root you lol doesn't it suck that I can root you haha.

Lol yeah kind of a good point. WoW did PvP right as a result, with classes like melees having more abilities/opportunities to counter caster abilities like that.
To be fair to EQ though it wasn't originally designed with PvP in mind. They built it as a PvE game and then were like "okay here's a server where you can kill each other but we're not really going to balance or adjust classes." WoW started out with the goal of both in mind.
