Red P1999: please make this happen, and my money is yours

LOL. Right, because I'm sure all those honourable people would abide by LnS, yeah?

Red99 would make Sullon look like a carebear server. Too many people who believe that griefing people is fun, or the way to win, or... something of the sort.

Griefing people IS fun... and LnS is not a right, its a privilege. You earn it by not being a douche.

Thats one of the reasons VZ/TZ failed so many times, they tried to make staff enforced rules. Then you end up with ppl QQ'ing about GM favoritism, ppl not obeying the "rules" (that changed about once a fucking week), and then leaving server cause it was "corrupt". When it fact it was, because there was staff involvement between players period. Should be none.

Alkorin =/= R99 Material

This. I've PvPed enough to know that griefing doesn't have to be part of it unless you fail at life and need an ego boost.

You, Envious, and people like you, are the reason I'm glad that I'm not "R99 material". =)

Honestly he's right that griefing people can be fun. But, I think that just because it's fun doesn't mean people should do it. If people grief for no reason, the rules should allow that, but it should hurt their reputation a lot. I find a big problem with pvp servers is that reputation is pointless, because everyone is trigger happy and will just grief everyone they see. If you want to satisfy your urge for making someone's life miserable, pick a guild that you don't like and just grief them, instead of griefing random nubs who did nothing wrong. Or just grief people who griefed you first. Of course, if people did that then maybe a pvp server on eqemu would last longer than a month, so who would want that?

On live eq, it DID hurt their reputation. At first there were a lot of people like this. But they eventually either quit, re-rolled, or were left in the lower levels with crap gear because EQ is not a game were you can compete long term solo. Just to be clear, griefing is not killing someone. You are supposed to kill people on a pvp server. Griefing is training someone so they get exp loss and then sitting on their corpse for hours and not letting them move on.

Yeah, I know what griefing is. I'd say if you kill someone for no benefit to yourself other than weird sadistic pleasure, you're griefing. Killing someone on a corpse run, corpse camping, bind camping, etc. should lower your reputation. If you kill someone so you can take their camp/items/whatever, that's fine, you have to expect that on a pvp server.
