I agree with item loot.. should be a risk to having on your best gear but not a risk against *all* of it. No drop was a great system. You'd have to guage it in a beta if the masses will be able to stomach it. For instance, things that tend to tip people in a "too powerful" direction like full diamond, dragon haste.. imo there should be a risk in wearing these things.

No loots from main hand / ranged though.

I would want item loot if it didnt stunt the population and give people more reasons to avoid pvp and plug. Last time vztz had it in pvp was more scarce and big battles didnt happen as much. Then they took item loot out and a good amount of people came back and played more and fights happened more and less plugging happened.

So i am torn. I like item loot but i dont like what it did to the population last time vztz had it. But maybe it will be different

TBH, it's not even worth debating over item loot and level restrictions for pvp.

It will be coin loot only and 7-10 level pvp range.

I only lost two things that had any value. Eboots when i was 1 vs 3ing whorella and friend and whorella got a stun on me and Frog crown to finkl,keto, and anova the last night before they removed item loot.

I also remember skunky got Pked with his shawl on in fear and i had to run my warrior in sacfrafice since for some reason if you someone died after another person but you hadnt already looted the first person it would not let you loot the first, so i was able to safe his shawl and lost a bd earring

Item loot is a gamble, there's people that want it and those who don't.

Almost across the board, it's a deal breaker for one side (no item loot) but not the other. I think it's healthier for the server maybe not to have it but for reasons I listed above... you're adding benefits to attacking another raid or pvping hence more incentive to go out and gank people.

Now it's true that people are less likely to level in their gear and more likely to go out and gank in gear (esp cheap resist stuff). I think it adds a fun element but I definitely expect to hear stories of people going nuclear over it and rage quitting.

Lastly, if item loot isn't implemented... I dunno about the name p99Red... know what I'm sayin'.

95% of the server will pvp naked. And it will deter people from playing.
Why can't people understand this.

I admit I am a blue server player, however a server like this peeks my interest because I used to play UO before they fucked it up with no pvp on trammel shard bullshit.

I have never done PVP in EQ though. I am not sure how I would react to someone who took an item off me. I am also not sure if I would like some asshole 15 lvls higher then me killing me cause he can. If it was within 8 to 10 levels maybe but when its someone you stand no chance against with your spells not even landing cause of level difference that is crap. Correct me if I am wrong, which I am sure you will.

Otherwise sign me up and where do I donate.

I loved looting an item off a pc corpse, i got my Tcrown that way and most of my resist jewelry too. Its the best way to grief someone. Take their t crown or jac ring that they probably spent countless hours trying to get.
