[Alawen Everywhere]

That's an Innoruuk drop, one of eighteen, once a week. Welcome to a real database. Everything you think you know about EQ PVP from playing bad code with bad data and 19 other players is wrong.

I added another possible choice for teams (if the server goes teams) on the long ass page I did at:

http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=31288

Race War using race as selection variable: Probably the best choice since each team gets every class. Some people will whine because one team has troll and ogre tanks. Trolls aren't even good on a PvP server because they have 5 fire resist. Barbs are just as good if not better due to practically the same stats and no gimped fire resist.

Dark Elf Alliance (evil)

Dark Elf
Troll
Iksar
Ogre
Half Elf
Erudite


Human Alliance (good)

Human
Dwarf
Gnome
Halfling
High Elf
Barbarian
Wood Elf

English is poor

Why keep posting identical post in different posts. Appearing overwhelmed and nervous makes you look fool

I'm strongly against 2 hardcoded teams, it won't work in eq. Also everyone will xteam anyway so the whole point will be screwed up pretty quick.

Also why make everquest like all the failed mmorpg pvp games out there today? Every single shitty "mmorpg pvp" game out there right now is 2 team hardcoded bullshit, and it never works. There's a reason why we stick around to play EQ pvp! Sandbox style is the way to go, let the players make their friends, let the players make their enemies, and let the strongest win. Competitive at the highest level.

Wehrmacht, I was just wondering where I could pick up a copy of your ridiculously long and stupid posts in hardback form, so that I can enjoy them when I am not at my computer.

Two years later and you are still whining like a champ, and the server isn't even out yet.

Signed,

Gongshow the Great

This is absolutely correct. Alawen is wrong as usual. Even though there are items that easily nullify mez, it's still useful for interrupting spells, so what Alawen is saying is just nonsense. Moreover, just because there's a counter to a good spell doesn't mean that the spell is no longer good. There are still people who forget to dot themselves or don't even know about the item in question. Additionally it's great against people on corpse runs (this isn't a huge point, but I'd still like to be able to prevent someone from gating away if I happen to engage them on their way to their corpse. Is this douchey? Probably. But it's good to still have the option).

Also Alawen, even if you were right, it still wouldn't be a reason to un-classically keep the level cap in for Bard mez in pvp. Keep the cap in for pve all you want, but you can't tell me there's any reason for it to stay in pvp, especially if it's as useless as you claim!

Everything you think you know about EQ PVP from playing a half dozen or more servers including 2 live ones through many eras over the span of nearly a decade where every bard until the cure aria LoY song and enchanter worth a shit in pvp had that shield until /blockbuff is right.
