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.]

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
