Anyone else find it interesting to monitor what % of blue's pop red has?

I personally blame all the twinks for griefing new players off the server. PvP is fun when its competitive and has a valued reward for slaying another person.

This whole make a 500k plat twink to grief exp zones PvP is garbage created by bored basement trolls.

I'm not trying to whine here, I take my lumps in PvP and accept it for the rule set I respect. However, if you actually want more people to kill and play with then stop the bullshit naked camping / lvl20 fungi crap.

Honestly the way people play these 20-30 twinks you may as well start even earlier, log a 13 rogue with WESS and a high dmg piercer, fungi, etc. Go after people that OOC "LFM 6+" to cream them before they even go back to their trainers.

The problem is that people are afraid to die. I don't understand why, I never have. There is no penalty for dying, but people get very upset when it happens.

So they get to 60, they park their main in ToV only logging in to loot or suicide to mobs. They spend the rest of their time farming AC on a level 40 necromancer making about 20k a week on jboots alone + whatever luck you get out of the 2 seafuries you can kill between each spawn at that level.

At some point, they realize that they have 600k in raw plat and nothing really to spend it on because their main is in ToV looting amazing items every week. So they spend it on a manastone, 4 fungis and 4 sets of resist gear and level up to 30 in a few hours. They get to MM and realize there is no one to play with because the other 50 people on the server are solo farming PS or sarnak fort/semi-afk at stormfeather.
So they leave that character there and make a new alt but every now and then they check to see who is on in MM. It's usually one person trying to solo in the GY or something, so they go over and knock em over for fun because they've never PVPd on this character before (no one to do it to)
The person they attacked then logs on the forum and cries and we all say stop crying, and run back. The ONLY penalty for dying is that you have to run back.

But they don't want to run back. They want to cry. So they cry, and the twink farms another fungi, and the twink makes another alt, and the twink plays EQ another day.
