Item loot

[jakedubbleya]

What's the consensus on this? The exact outline for the PvP server is hard to find (no sticky that clearly outlines everything) and I'm not sure I'd bother playing 1999 PvP without item loot. Was there anything in the HISTORY of gaming that was more fucking horrifying, incentivising and strategic than item loot in old EQ?

As a future lvl 1 with no connections, I'd be at a huge disadvantage, but PvP is just not PvP without huge risks and rewards.

So what is the community consensus? Should there be item loot? Is item loot planned for a future patch? Should it be no-bag (traditional) or no-bag no-weapon to help the melee types out?

All of my real life friends were heartbroken to learn that project 1999 existed, but that the PvP server had no item loot, and I haven't been able to get them to play for that reason. To be honest I don't blame them.


tl;dr WHY IS THERE NO ITEM LOOT? WHAT KIND OF PROJECT 1999 IS THIS!? Why would I bother playing on that server when the /duel command exists on the blue server?
