Should I roll a custom PvP server and what kind should it be?

[azxten]

Registered new domain and bought a dedicated server.

Instanced dueling is fully functional now. PvP kill broadcast is in. Have to set player skills to the appropriate level, populate their spellbook, and implement a gear system. Version 1 is almost live, hopefully next weekend.

That's another part of the dueling concept. What would actually work for EQ PvP? What needs to be adjusted?

I have a feeling quite a bit.

Dueling server would be a waste of time. There have been servers like this and they last a few days. Very quickly people lose interest and there is no one to duel.

There is a community of people that play new servers about every year. They usually last 3-9 months before it is time for a reset. If you make a new server there would be people to play around on it but if there is no pve progression it won't last but a week or two.

I'll be honest I'm one of those scummie bluebies for which pvp is sorta the side game for me. I did enjoy it. It's boring as my main focus tho.

Hence I'm not much of a duelist.

I agree that dueling isn't going to keep people on for multiple hours back to back to back, it isn't EQ there isn't the progression and all the other things that make the game interesting.

But it would be fun to go fight and play around. So do it and ill come on.
