Why would anyone start a new character on a server with RZ rules where everyone is 60

First of all, it's a PvP server. It sounds like you log on, don't even attempt to fight people, and just ask around if anyone wants to group. Yes, this maximizes your chance of finding a group, but also minimizes your chance of doing PvP. It's counter intuitive to the purpose of the server.

If it was counter intuitive to kill mobs for xp on a PvP server everybody would run around at level 1 slaying eachother with rusty bastard swords... This whole statement is generalized and not accurate for most of the playerbase. You can't discount the players that only like max lvl PVP or the people that enjoy twink PVP... Nothing wrong with that, it's their prefered playstyle.

You're trying to take the easiest road to 60 as possible. You play like a blue player then just try to defend yourself if anyone attacks. This shouldn't even be a valid choice for play style on a PvP server. You should be continuously forced to fight against another team or faction in order to XP all the way from 1-60.

Gaining xp shouldn't be a valid choice on a PVP server? I'm leveling a cleric and while I know it's possible to solo to 50, I'm not doing it (although I have soloed alot). The issue you're even getting at is lack of population. It has nothing to do with LFG on healers to XP. If the population was at blue numbers you would ALWAYS have competition for zones and that competition would resolve itself with PVP, don't get the two twisted...

Anyways,

Oh and another thing.
Probably 75% of the PVP happens at max level as it is, so rushing to 60 isn't doing anything but getting you in range to where the PVP is happening anyways...

If you play the server for what it's intended and randomly attack everyone, then you'll have nobody to group with and can't do anything. If you play like this other guy and ask everyone you see to group, then you're rewarded with less risk, easy leveling, faster xp.

It's not a PvP server if it punishes you for doing PvP and rewards you for avoiding PvP. Anyone with common sense knows SZ and TZ were always far more popular due to these reasons. FFA only works in games like UO where you can do everything in the game solo and never have to group once.

FFA doesn't mean you have to or even that it's encouraged to randomly attack everybody. It's a multiplayer game; you make friends, you meet new people, you form relationships with people good/bad.

I'll leave it at that because the rest of your statement contradicts itself and I think you're just making up arguments in an attempt to troll at this point.

The reason you don't get more players is because so many of you are repulsive. It has less to do with the rules of the box, and more to do with your personalities.

Sounds to me like you got griefed off the server is all... Most of the population isn't repulsive, although there are a few

wipe the server, change to SZ teams & rules (with good and neut combined if possible), re-release server with Velious open.

LOL. Okay, sounds good. Thanks for your suggestion, guy.

You must not know anything about the history of RZ or Everquest PvP in general. Being a "random PK" was frowned upon there and they had anti-PK guilds and shit. What I've said has already played out in history on RZ. You were rewarded for avoiding PvP on that server and punished for taking part in it.

It was some weird server with a dysfunctional rule set that people wanted on here because they thought it would be "more hardcore", when in reality, it's not.

All Everquest players got trolled when Verant released PvP servers. The troll is 14 years strong and going. Well RZ server on live has been a joke for 4+ years so really the troll lasted a good 10 years.

If you make a new character, you're gonna be soloing from level 1-60. Who wants to solo a warrior or cleric to 60? You can't even PvP till 60 either since anyone you find is going to be a melee in a fungi tunic that just automatically wins.

None of that happens here, it's just a barren wasteland of no groups and no real PvP until you hit max level.

Keep dat hate train rollin' pal. Hope you're holding your breath for a wipe lolz.
