If you think you are cool on Blue

If you play EQ pvp you are the bottom rung of the pvp community.

I am sitting here trying to think of a game where the pvp is worse than EQ pvp... drawing blanks.

Probably D&D? Or maybe fighting action figures?

How is EQ pvp even remoley fun other then when you wipe out a raid out take over a exp spot. Even then its not even that combat that was fun it was just the idea of making other people pissed off and wasting their time. Also how is stacking MR as a melee or rooting as a caster any fun or even hard to do?

we just have even more going on

Pvp for pve is what's fun not pvp for pvp. If you enjoy being cock blocked by TMO and plat farmers from all content in the game then by all means keep on playing blue.

None of this actually applies to me. And are you really arguing that I am more likely to experience maximum PvE content on the PvP server than I am on the PvE server?

Right.

I don't hold this against all red players, but my only experience on red is being nuke spammed in newb zones by low level casters intent on griefing me because I didn't want to group with them (who groups at level 2 and 3?), and being followed by level 5-8ish melee with twohanders intent on preventing me from leveling. For hours. Sorry, didn't find that fun at all. I'm sure that's not the whole red experience by a long shot, but I think it illustrates the mentality most of us on blue are avoiding. Especially if we don't play enough to be a part of a decent PvP guild.

Ultimately, you're playing in an environment that is PvE. There are a virtually infinite number of gaming choices if I want to play in a PvP environment that are equal to or far better than EQ. The PvE experience and gameplay in EQ, although limited and "dead", is ultimately the only thing "unique" about P99 - PvP is available through a ton of other media. So adding PvP to it actually doesn't change the fact that almost everyone here plays mostly based on PvE content and nostalgia. That's also why so many people don't give a crap about PvP. That's not what most people came here for.

And dammit, the game takes long enough in /played to progress in without having the PvP mentality (I don't care if I receive no benefit from killing you and possibly camping your corpse, I'm going to do it because I feel like it) adding to that. Even granted the xp bonus.

There's nothing to argue. You think PvP is better. Most people disagree. Neither are "right", it's just a preference.

wow you must be really bad at this game
like, terrible

i mean shit, even us mouthbreathers got farther than you

example: harrison made it all the way into crushbone before he started to sound like you

What was that about words not having objective meanings? Tell me more. Enlighten me, bro!

Naw, i'm alright at pvp, I'm just really unwilling to spend any time on eq pvp. That's why I'm sitting here showing you why you're unable to think properly. I find it more entertaining.

FWIW, none of those people that harassed me ever killed me. They just ate up my time in an attempt to gain nothing but their own feeling of accomplishment (sound like blue PvE yet?). Pretty much what you're doing, and what always happens in PvP. But it's okay, i'm enjoying doing the same to you. You're really bad at it apparently. "Lolz words don't have objective meanings, harrison reference, bs etc etc"
