Recycle 99 strat

I wouldn't mind one that was locked without legacy items and no planes/kunark/velious.

Basically when you want 50+ or easymode items you move on to bluetrue.

Not to derail but this is why (3) teams pvp would be pretty great.

1 group dominating content, locking down guises/manastone/thex? Other 2 groups ally to take them down then split the camp 50/50. Even if you're undergeared/underleveled, you could time it right and catch them midway through a fight, tank low on hp and healer lom. Basically like stealing aegis/cheese off rosh.

It would also make QM spawn a bit more...interesting. Not being able to just sit people there semi-afk at the three spawn points with one person killing PHs. A small group being that separated from each other, it would be too easy for them to be picked off by another team.

Incorporate teams pvp into re-99 imo. Then after the expansions, just "retire" the players to blue99 heaven where everyone gets along and cares about their fellow elf...

I've never played PVP Everquest, but I've always thought the teams server would be awesome IF it had population. Population being the only reason i don't personally play red

Probably another 500 with that mentality. If only you all logged in at once?

Oh wait... see you on launch night [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

teams pvp sucks, creates a myriad of stupid issues like crossteaming, class imbalance, etc.

It worked fine on SZ before the population tanked. Mostly due to:
1) training being legal (dumbest call in EQ history)
2) the game was old and newer games cater better to PvP

It would never work on a server with this small of a population, however. Balance really wasn't a big issue. Evil was the most advanced and they had no paladin, druids, or rangers. Instead, they had shadowknights and necros...big deal. (Note: you could summon your corpse with insignas from killing people on SZ)
The racial team servers were always a dumb idea.
