I would rather see players fighting over zones/items than players solo-grinding NPCs on a pvp server. The exp rate still requires a 150+ hour investment right now to even get in-range to the bulk of the servers' players.

Think about that and you guys tell me if you have a better solution.

There is going to be a trade-off either way so long as there are like 60 people playing. I'd fucking love to see low-mid level PvP here but it is a pipe dream even if there were ~200 players active. You need 500+ for that.

And even if you have 500, with XP death you would bleed population even faster, since there would not be any place to hide from the numerous twinks deleveling people.

So if magically we had a box with 500 players today, with 40% old players, how do you think the rest of the 60% would react when fighting gangs of twinks they have no hope of beating and losing experience on a harsh pve grind? They would quit is my bet and box would be down to 100 in a couple of weeks again.

As it is right now, at least you can try to crawl under a hole somewhere and level in peace, because there is nothing to gain except grief from pvp if you are new on this server because you will lose 90% of the times to twinks.

At least if there is no xp loss in pvp it can be fun (for a while) to attempt to kill hard twinks. Like ive been saying. For the past 5 months.
