Just wondering what the skill level of PvP and population on RZ was compared to the classic days during PoP.

I was pretty young during the original RZ days and played on Solusek Ro anyways but after winning the caster FFA on our server during PoP I got cocky and xfered to RZ. Never lost a fight and was very vocal about it coming down to many duels infront of many people. Karubi the Keeper of the Ages. Was only there with Ascending Dawn for about a month at the time and killed the sleeper with them, EQ felt complete and I quit.

You missed the era where you probably would have found the best competition in players. Velious killed a lot of the incentive on RZ for PvP because of the easy no drop gear. By that point, PvP was just ganking by a few disorganized guilds. Sullon Zek had its moments for a few short months before SoL, Legends server, and later PoP sapped the last bit of will from anyone who wanted to care about PvP.

I'm not sure what you mean when you said you won so many duels. Did you 1 shot kill with a manaburn? Kill someone in 5 seconds from out of spell range with AM3? PoP era PvP was probably the worst in the history of EQ and maybe one of the worst in any game since.
