Interesting post, and a warning..

[Khurak]

A couple of thoughts on the subject.

EQ is, has been and will be a PvE game.

If you want only PvP, try DAoC, Warhammer, Aion, Prime on Line (Beta still at this stage) or a couple of others where you have in game mechanics for PvP rewards/gloating (RPs, PvP levels, some kind of yellow text or leader boards, specific gear and so on).

Begging to make EQ a similar game is not even close to classic (which i understand Red99 is trying to be).

Here PvP will be a mean to control zones and ressources (ie Phat Dragon loot) without having to poopsock and /petition for Ubah BP loot rights or because SoandSo had FTE.

It should also be a lot of fun but NOT an MMO version of an FPS game.

Please don't pour some FPS in my EQ [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

you can't ever expect people to act differently than what they are. every single "society should" or "we should" or "this group should" that has ever been uttered has been a complete waste of breath. leadership and discipline will come from above or it will not come at all.

Then the admins will simply shut down the project. The people misbehaving in general is what kills the servers. I have never hacked/cheated, not sure why others need to. If people want to come here to "re-live" classic EQ, why ruin it?

Certain peoples sole reason to play is simply to ruin the fun of others. What they don't realize though, is that they not only ruin the fun of others, but their own fun as well especially after people leave the server and it all goes down the drain.

For the rest of us who have always played eq on a non-carebear server. EQ is a pvp game. Always has been. Pve is just the reason to do the pvp.

daoc was probably the most "carebear" pvp game ever. segregated pvp/pve areas, plenty of safe zones to level, all pvp was consensual, etc. but it also had pvp as the main focus of the game. you can make a set of rules that can do both.

classic daoc on the pvp server was a lot of fun
