play wow for 2 secs and see how meaningless it is and then u might know y imo

Ive played Rallos for 2 years... people play on a PVP server to PVP i would suppose...

Theres no meaning in EQ pvp anyway, its not like im gaining territory in 00 in eve... the pvp is meaningless, im fine with it. I enjoy it for its own sake, because i like to pvp, I dont need some more hurdles to make pvp boring on top of sitting down for 5-10 minutes to med, corpse running, before you can pvp again each time you die.

The corpse runs, the downtime is already boring enough, and youre adding more PVE grind on top of each death. The people who are going to bear the majority of the boredom burden are the new guys and the small guilds.

You can still chase some people away from a camp by PVPing them. Xp loss is just too much, and i want this server to have a healthy population because i want to keep having fun PVPing on it.

I feel the sort of player to quit over a tiny bit of exp loss would be the sort that would quit after dealing with Holocaust/Fish Bait encounters anyway. And this is EQ, original home of devastating exp loss. It doesn't seem to be scaring too many people away from Blue99.

I call bullshit on this. I feel the sort of player who isnt able to contemplate a 6 hour session of PVP and the PVE grind to get back xp afterwards it implies doesnt really want to pvp.

So you don't care for meaningful pvp, and just wanna have fun. This is understandable, and it's a viable playstyle in most every modern MMO today.

But I'm really glad that the devs have decided on this exp loss system [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Anyway, we've been going in circles for hours. Goodnight, friends!
