I will be playing this server but probably not PKing unless PKed myself. I like to have the danger and possibility of being killed by other players, without necessarily partaking myself.

^ this is what will make the server more fun and enjoyable imo
more reminisce of EQlive classic servers.

fuck what all the vztz players want, they are the hardcore.
will they strive to make a name for themselves here? ofc but they will be there regardless what shit box is up and content to pvp for bragging rights amongst themselves.

Theres alot of sideline players who have played red on live that wont deal with broken servers or who dont share the same attitude of these vztz players. i mean you cant blame them really for falling into that cycle year after year, failed box after failed box. 150/3= 50 actual players who are all hardcore and have been flaming each other for years about whos best. they forget what live was actually like.

with an actual server and competent staff who are known for putting out quality stuff, i hope the sideline players come back to red and anyone else wanting to give it a try.
we've all seen some interest, albeit small from non-pvpers wanting to try a red server. which makes more sense now then it did on live (or P99)
because at this point and time most have done blue live, then relived it on classic P99 and the only thing missing now is to take part in a red server the way it was before things got progressively fooked on live eg, instances/augs/pok books etc
is it balanced? no but this is closest anyone will find to the golden age of EQ pvp.

what will put the icing on the cake for this server is the community. this server needs the anti-pk/roleplayers/pks/white knights and noobs .. thats really the only balance this server needs to recreate a classic red server.
