Not so much feedback, as a question. Once all this pvp testing is complete, is it going to be common practice to have events using non-classic mechanics in non-classic zones on a classic server?

Just wondering, because I'm a little confused about that.

We're not forcing you to do it. There are no rewards for doing it. How is that going to ruin your classic immersion?

We're trying to do something fun for once. Do you play this game just so you can have classic everquest, or do you play it to have fun?
That's what a video game is about; having fun with it. If you have to debate whether it was classic or not, that just ruins the whole point of having fun. In 2001, we had fun with the game. This is fun for the people who choose to play it. Are you going to limit yourself from having fun playing a PVP CTF game *just* because it's ruining your immersion? Because let's be honest, that's completely and utterly unreasonable.

Are you saying that classic EQ is not fun? If not, then why even bother with the server? That's why the vast majority of your players are on your server, not for custom rules pvp content they can get on any number of other servers out there.

Having said that, it is you guys' server to do with as you see fit,and I'm not about to argue with it. There just seems to be a lot of time, development and attention going into a pvp system that never existed on the game you're advertising you emulate.

Not so much. The way that is set up, I start it, and then leave it to go. I come back later and read feedback. It took a little time to initially create, but that was actually fun. The perl used for the event can be used for other things. *cough* test of tactics.

You have gained nor lost anything here. This is something the developers put together to help both you and us. We will have best of the best tournaments.. and I'd like them to actually work.

I don't see people lining up to duel or use the broken arenas.

It really sucks when development effort is "put down" in any way though, I'll tell you that.

I'm not putting it down. I'd just rather see it go towards emulating Everquest.

But if it has no bearing towards gameplay or the future of the project, then I'll shut up about it.

Wasn't classic!

You're not supposed to have fun playing project 1999.

So true ... you people should realy start to appreciate the hard work the devs put in here, since all that whining and complaining about everything is just eating away at the devs ... luckily they know its just a handfull of whiners, and the rest of us stands behind them to back them up!

You've done plenty of whining, yourself.

And I wasn't putting them down. I simply asked a question.

Hey i hope my wall of text wasnt taken as putting down the devs work with pvp, seriously. I was just putting out ideas out there to improve the server long term. <3
