Give Red 10% of your population

[syztem]

plenty of blue players are still coming to red on a weekly basis, enough to feed the server just not to grow it. people who can't deal with dying once or twice in pvp, or not finding a group a few times need not apply you aren't wanted on red anyway.

I tried red. Played a sham to... I dunno... high 30's I think.

Only saw pvp in mistmoore/lfay. I kicked that twin sk's but a time or two. Thought he could dive bomb in and spam Co's while he ran away to try to pve death us. Joke was on him.

Also, heartbrand, the problem isn't low pop. The problem was the griefers. Oh, and eq pvp sucks.

No matter which game, most of all PvP-players are the same:

"I am better then you"
"Why dont you PvP you pussy?"
"You are scared of my skills arent you?"
"LOOK AT ME, I am a PvP Player, arnt I am cool?"
"Everone who dosent PvP is a loser"
...

Sorry, but I dont have time for such attention-whores [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

My last character I levelled on red (pretty slowly since I was soloing with an untwinked warrior) saw pvp twice in 40 levels.

Once was in Nek forest with an Enchanter that refused to share zombies with me.

The other time was whilst I was AFK under the Butcherblock pier (amusingly, looking at my logs, it took longer for this paladin to kill me than it took me to get back to my corpse... poor paladins really are slow dps).

All this time I never used anon and often advertised where I was.

Sometimes I even log in to unrest in the hope of summoning a griefer twink to play with me, but even those don't materialise any more.

Low level red is very quiet.

PvP requires more skill in most games. PvE is generally something that doesn't change, you know exactly how the scripted program will react. Fighting against other players is much more dynamic and thus also more rewarding, in games where the PvP is good. Everquest PvP isn't exactly good by itself but it serves to create necessary dimension in a game that lacks purpose. The PvE of this game has long been figured out in every way possible, there is no actual "quest" left in the Everquest. PvP forces you to be more careful and it makes the game more dynamic; going to any area of the game is going to be different depending on the other players who are there.

PvP doesn't stand in a camp with a wiki that explains the exact methodical process and required resources to win. It's almost always personal and intriguing on a small server, which makes it exciting.

Also, being "corpse camped" is LARGELY mitigated by the LnS rule. Unless your the type of person who insists upon raging at their attacker, calling them out in ooc, etc, people generally don't corpse camp. If you persist to try to level in a zone where a twink is rampaging, that's on you.

Low levels are a bit rough because it means you have to generally acquire gear through the generosity of other players and be PLed here and there by strangers, but once you "join the community," it's a lot more fun.

Logging on to have picnic time every day worshiping someone who sits at the camp you want because they have more free time -- not fun.

Reboot to classic pls. Loved the server back then.

Velious era is the worst, class balance is just urrrggghhh.
