I disagree its a pvp game like IRL. Like the person who is good at pvp in eq would be good at serial killing people, or hunting them in a most dangerous game competition.

The best pvpers are able to sit and wait like toxic snakes for imesurable ammounts of time ready for pvp at the drop of the hat and they strike and kill and god damn its a disgusting way of life that only a select few naturally psycopathic individuals are good at.

Eve Online is 10x more that and has 18,000 people online right now. there's like 10 other games built from the ground up for PvP that also has people playing them.

evequest has 6 people

only thing EQ has going for it is nostalgia cause people plugged someone in freeport 25 years ago and laughed their ass off about terrible game design that someone spent 5 minutes on to try to get some UO players to buy their MMO that they assumed would be dead within 1 year.

Merge Blue and Green instead.

Are there still live pvp servers?

If you weren't around for classic EQ pvp days, like Rallos, Sullon, Vallon / Tallon Zek then you really have no clue.

Also, trying to compare Eve to EQ? lol... two totally different games. I'm sure Eve does have good PVP, along with a ton of other games. This does not mean that EQ doesn't also have good PVP.

End game EQ pvp is about zone control and denying resources to your opponents. Locking down raid targets / zones through PVP. Blue, Green & Red are all the same timeline and same content, the only difference is Red has 1 additional feature with PVP. Red allows players to solve issues through force of arms. You know, like how a fantasy roleplaying game based on swords & sorcery SHOULD BE. Blue & Green requires mommy & daddy to get involved after much crying. Try to guess which has the most man-children.

Trying to say the current population of Red is indicative to amount of sentiment people have for EverQuest pvp is silly - since the P99 devs screwed up their PVP code / policies right from the birth of the server.

Only other caveat is MAYBE one more merge/new green? Since it was stated before. Maybe. But I'm kind of thinking not.

My guess is there's some reason they can't launch a new green as expected, maybe having to do with their agreement with daybreak.

If p99 settles into the originally stated plan of a new green being launched every 3 years or so I guarantee they'll be populated every time. Nerds will not be able to resist.

Im sorry ive played every game thats ever existed, none give me the same feeling i get from hunting and killing an innocent person than pvp in everquest.

[tycohunden]

would you say P99 management are lacking a creative vision at this point? If blue turned into purple scores of players would return. Would anyone care if that happened?

I seem to remember there being a very passionate desire from the top for a discord server, but now i feel like that's mandala effect and maybe isnt true in this timeline.
