Other than ourselves who are we kidding? The likelihood that Project 1999 was going to dedicate time in development, and likely more importantly to management, of a PVP enabled server has always been nearly zero. It's conceptually a viable idea but unless the management team were themselves an avid fan of EQ PVP it would never succeed.

Rogean was never a Red player or a PVPer. Sirken was never a PVPer, he was a 4th tier halfwit bluebie on Vallon Zek. They're not the correct project managers for an EQ PVP server.

--Renly was never a PVPer.

--Devnoob and Co were never PVPers.

If we're to ever have a viable, successful, arc for a PVP server it's going to have to come from the rare spawn that is a well-balanced PVP fanatic.

Spoiler Alert: Don't hold your breath.

We are playing on servers that are intended to never go past a certain era and players with an absolute willingness to play for years longer than the server's timeline.

No one is ever more excited about pvp than when they hear about a new server and the opportunity to fight for Guk again. Only real sick fucks who have lost touch with reality will remain on Red and give a shit about not having an opportunity to BIS out their 10th
whatever character because of a limited timeline.

Red99 is a fine server, has the best classic code, and I can't wait to play on the next box. The biggest and honestly, the only significant problem this server had, is guilds with three times the necessary kill force sitting at spawns at the 1-week mark, preventing PVP.

I believe nerds will be more interested in having fun than zerging to get BIS in every slot when they know that won't even be achievable before the next expansion drops since the expansions are coded and ready for release in classic timelines. More importantly, because they know the server will reset after a certain amount of time.

Hope the staff does some Q&A before implementing PVP inducing ideas.
