No, just no. I'm all for a consider red post but EQ was always a PVE/PVM game. If at any point McQuaid said eq was focused on pvp he was probably hopped up on drugs at the time.

I followed alt.games.everquest for at least a year before the launch and McQuaid was very active on the forum and also was pretty vocal about his intention for the game to be PvP and how he needed to introduce the PoDs because he couldn't find another way around griefing.
One of the reasons the game was so unfinished contentwise** was all the time spent trying to perfect the PoD mechanic and trying to get Red players on Blue servers to work (which, if course, he never could). alt.games.everquest spent most of its pre-launch existence almost entirely discussing PvP mechanics.
** Hands up, this particular part is an assumption but I think a reasonable one.
