"Then in 2001, one of the greatest social experiments in multiplayer gaming history went live. The Sullon Zek EverQuest PvP server was launched. The one rule on Sullon Zek was that there were no rules. The level restrictions on PvP combat were removed, training and corpse-camping became legitimate tools of war, and GM's took an entirely “Laissez affaires” attitude toward players grievances. Sullon Zek was to become one of the most ruthless, savage displays of antisocial humanity to ever exist in an online game, drawing the most competitive, committed players from the EverQuest community to a single battlefield.

Those playing on Sullon suffered incredible levels of torment and frustration, lost months worth of achievements in a matter of hours, and spent endless nights in combat against relentless and merciless foes. Yet speaking with players who fought and died on the fields of Sullon Zek, one finds their appreciation for the server, their sense of accomplishment about battles both won and lost, and their desire to return to be unanimous. As barbaric as Sullon Zek was, it was the greatest PvP server to yet exist in a multiplayer MMO."

I'd like to point out that this was a new frontier, and griefing tactics were perfected here. I'd also like to point out there was a very large pool of players, and the odds of keeping even several hundreds of players in a griefing style server is going to be highly unlikely. I can also point out that a low pop. server with griefing is going to be complete shit.

The greatest experiences in Everquest I ever had were on VZTZ 1.0-3.0 with legitimate mass pvp battles over raid targets. Only in plane of fear/hate did we see trains ruin these fights. Very rarely Sebilis. If even one GM is able to be present for the big raid fights they tend to go smoothly. And even the small scale PVP in dungeons like Lower Guk and Solusek B were fucking epic.

Hacks - They ruined the server at certain points, no doubt about it.
LV - 1.0 . Eventually banned.
8iu- 1.0 Zonecmd delete, ends server.

Nonetheless, between these rare instances of faggotry, there was nothing but epic battles and sweet taste of victory. Mass PVP excluding the above mentioned abuse, was controlled by the better guild, no MQ sploits could save a bad guild from a better coordinated team.

Can one of you PVP doods help me with something:

Did each PVP server have a different rule set ? If so what rule set did each server have.

Obv~ Sullon Zek: No rules.

I'm not sure about the others... would like to know.

Vallon and tallon zek were Team based by race and believe it was +-8 on lvls

Human/erud/barb
de/troll/ogre/ik
gnome/dwarf/halfling
half elf/wood elf/High elf

TZ didnt really have any rules. I dont think training was intended to be allowed but with no gms around people pretty much knew they could get away with it

its been a fun week with all the trolling. made a lot of friends and i appreciated all the tells from my fans. unfortunately im done here. always tried to follow the rules ingame instead of taking matters in my own hands like id normally do, in fear of getting abacabd, but when other people dont have to because theyre friends with Hobby i cant accept that. No hard feelings TR nigz. maybe cu guys on p99RED [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Dear Hobby:

4. In order to hold a camp, the player or group must be able to demonstrate the ability to hold the camp without further help.

Theres a whole thread about the rules of camp here: http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=2653 if you wanna read up. Take note that you dont need anyones permission or anything like that to takeover a camp where theyre not following those rules.

ill miss you

[Ashkari]

I won't.

p.s., I made Fred solo a legate after you departed. It got him down to 87%, so I'm pretty sure he can't handle one. You were right! So live on with the knowledge that you won the moral victory.

i guess youre forgetting how we both saw him at sub 20% life hiding behind walls and running around the whole room while waiting for klubba to come back from afk to help him finish up and heal multiple times. i do take responsibility for not demanding to kill every PH on every cycle because im sure that did lead to some confusion. although on the other hand none of you ever asked me why i was killing 33% of your mobs either, so im still unsure on how Hobby magically came up with the decision of "let me ask some other TR members what they think i should do, while you leave the camp" GL on the camp. What the fuck is up with those fucking bodyguards not spawning tho real talk. They werent that rare on live.

[Bruuce]

i think youre being sarcastic because besides from your terrible judgement call tonight weve never spoken. thanks tho!

Kid ragequits from a forum? I didn't know you could do that. Amazing.
