Can someone explain the appeal of Blue servers? Really.

I'd hardly call it petition quest, but that does happen. The GMs are pretty good about letting players resolve issues themselves on blue. People that grief are usually just really bad at the game, so they can easily be out-griefed in return.

There's also a lot of healthy competition between players on blue - people compete for FFA spawns and for camps in dungeons. Sometimes it can turn into a clusterfuck, but I've very rarely seen a GM actually have to step in and do anything.

EQ is just too imbalanced to allow for a sane PvP environment.

Its the imbalance that brings me to EQPVP. In WoW, as an example they have gone out of their way to make the classes balanced to where it almost doesn't matter what you play because every class can heal, tank and heal in some way with the exception of a few classes.

In EQ PVP your class role is very defined. Sure some classes are better at pvp than others. Shouldn't it be that way? Isn't that what it would be like in a realish fantasy world?
