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.

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.
