Well, unfortunately for you I believe Red99 is going to be "classic classic" and not just "classic era." I could be wrong.

This topic has been beaten to death. PvP, in and of itself, is incentive enough. All you need is the ability to fight other players. It doesn't need to be incentivized: this is not shit box 5.0. The "gotta make PvP Happen™" train of thought spawned during the box days when there was 60 people on a server and the majority of the community wanted as many FPS aspects into the game as they could incorporate as the sole objective was just to fight. As bad as the 12 of you want it, that will not be the sole objective here. Maybe for you it is, but not the majority. And feel free to play that way, by all means, it's a PvP server for fuck's sake and it will need it's PK crowd. But Red99 isn't catering to them.

Yellow text wouldn't be terrible for the people who like that recognition. I think it's mostly for that reputation of being a killer rather than "where the PvP at!?"

EQlive without YT made it so that people weren't aware of what fights were going on. I honestly think it was better that way, as a personal preference. It catered more to everybody. YT with given zone names meant an instant gank squad would port in at any time. The most interesting fights (to me) are the 1v1's or the equally balanced mass PvP battles.

I think what we all saw on TZVZ were situations where someone was often two boxxing and then owns one dude from a higher up guild, thereby sparking this influx of players to that zone just to make it right or grief or whatever.

There needs to be a certain amount of anonymity to PvP. Some classes are built with that as their strength, and oftentimes players like to play the game that way.
