Everyone I've talked to about this has said about the same thing. Gonna be fun but server will be deader than red99. Item loot will grief more people off red than no guard assist. thats a fact jack.

Moving this to solved: Increase rare mob spawn chance and increase drop rates.

Yes, you will have to fight your way back into the zone and farm pixels you've already fought to farm. Welcome to PvP my friend, the way it was meant to be.

In all seriousness, not everyone can handle PVP let alone an item loot PvP. It's probably not meant for many of you who QQ already with just a discussion on it.

A single server will never cater to everyone. We see what R99 is and will be; blue, with the ability to pvp and keep raid mobs contested. There has to be an element of risk and reward associated with PvP. Let's pick a new path and go!

Proposition A: Item loot rights, all bags exposed, to the hero that dealt the death blow. The hero gets to choose 1 item. Item cannot be the opponent's primary, secondary, chest piece or leggings (must leave in something for melees).

How about a server where when you die, your computer and monitor explode and imbed razor sharp pieces of metal and plastic in your face?

Are you hardcore enough???

People do realize that on RZ you either pvp'd naked or in no-drops, right? Oh I guess you could either plug or run/bag.

Sounds fun.

To be blunt, "for science" is a stupid fucking attitude. I get that it's nilbog's box to play with, but that doesn't make it any less stupid. It's like if Wal-Mart ran a special where half the customers got their items for free and the other half got stabbed in the face by the cashier. Who the fuck is gonna shop there?

If nilbog wants a Teams server with item loot, that's his prerogative, but any type of item loot is going to turn away a ton of potential players right off the bat. The server would only reach a fraction of its potential. It seems very short-sighted to go to the trouble of making a new server only to cripple it with item loot, which is one of the most universally unpopular features in EQ. There is a reason that item loot debuted on RZ but was never implemented on the later PvP servers. It's just about the worst feature possible in a game that is all about acquiring gear.

Imagine if one of your items was randomly deleted each time you died in PvE? Would anyone clamor to play on that ruleset? Of course not. It would be fucking retarded.

And it's no less stupid to lose items in PvP. All it does is encourage extremely lame tactics and running away. Item loot turns a PvP server into a gank and run server.

Have fun on your new server gais! I wont be see'ing you there looks like

I'm not even logging in once to check it out if there's itemloot. I'll genuinely wager $500 that the server will be as dead as red within a month. What a fucking joke and a waste of everyone's time it would be to ruin he server before it even gets started. It takes a special kind of retard to think an itemloot EQ PvP emu will be anything but a farcical disaster and a guaranteed failure. Time to see if the developers are imbeciles.

It's pretty simple...

If you want a penalty/reward for PvP go play Teams.
If you want no penalty/reward for PvP go play R99.
If you don't want PvP, or can't handle it, go Blue99.

Teams confirmed 100% more red than R99.

server where hypothetically 33% of server is not attackable more red than ffa?

cool story
