PvP Zone?

[Lazortag]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. People who want to turn the server PvP are basically just saying that they'd rather take the people who don't want PvP (the majority of us) and force them to do PvP. The people who want PvE aren't saying that you can NEVER get PvP, just that PvP is opt-in. You can turn your book in to the priest of discord if you want, you can go to an arena if you want, or you can duel people if you want. There's also the alternative of just starting your own server.

Opt-in PvP means everyone gets what they want. What so many douches on this server are suggesting is that only a few people should get what they want, while everyone else has to deal with the headache of PvP-loving morons being douchebags, hacking, and showing off their e-penis player-killing people over and over again until the server's population drops down to around 30 (like all the other PvP emu servers).

This is what I think: a bit before Kunark (or maybe even velious) is released, I think they should start a classic discord server to keep us all occupied. At least that way no one has any illusions about what they're getting into, and it's clear from the beginning that everyone involved is competing for the largest e-cock.

Couldn't of said it any better.

This is the best explanation given.

Well if ya want pvp then get some people together an start a guild to pvp with each other, or there is always the obvious choice of another server because i know plenty that are strictly pvp if that suits your fancy.

I'm all for turning this entire server PvP but I know this is a classic PvE EQ server so I have no illusions about that happening.

How is this relevant to my suggestion?

Yeah, PvPing with other people you know is just what we want. Are you kidding me? That's not PvP. The PvP servers are dead also so what's the point of going to play on a PvP server with 30 people who are all max level?

Once again I don't care about all the retards who posted in this thread suggesting we change the server to be PvP, planes, whatever. That's not what I suggested!

I know I'm not the only one desperate for some PvP action here on P99. Would it be possible to add a PvP zone where everyone is flagged when they zone in? I was thinking something along the lines of using a zone from an unused expansion and possibly splitting into two zones with one being 1-30, the other 31-50. Entrance would be through a nondescript NPC translocator somewhere like EC tunnel.

Would this ruin the classic feeling or add some much needed PvP? No loot, no rewards, just a place to get beat up and corpse camped.

Then to answer your question, No its not classic. Resolved. Next question?

As suggested in the thread there are forms of pvp available, I merely suggested the grouping/guild mates that like to pvp thing for those that ... wish for that. Since this is not wow and there is no wintergrasp here, Most likey that will not be seen here.

Nothing, that was it.

Maybe the biggest 'issue' is when you turn in the Discord book, you are pretty much useless for anything other than solo or PvP.

Of course, it's not pure classic - but couldn't that be changed? Like.. enable buffing/heals of group members and/or guild members if you are flagged?

Of course, it opens up 'unreachable' healers and such, but it might still open the option up some.

That's one thing WoW did right - PvP flag..

I'd actually support making it so turning in the tome of discord doesn't preclude non-red people from healing you, as well as the other restrictions it puts on you. To be honest it would make the server feel *more* classic in the aggregate, because to some people their classic experience involved PvP, which they're barred from doing because of this stupid rule. Back in the day very few people on PvE servers realistically turned in the tome of discord, it was always a "mistake", so no one sees that as a big part of their classic experience.
