Ya POK was alll cool for buffing ec but it created gate camps. Not only that but no lifes would make circuits of he best leveling areas wheras when no portals it took some time in between ganks.


Sullon was the beast and most populated. It wasn't till after Hate/Tides/BP wars calmed that folks moved to Rallos. (That and Devs allowed people t xfer to red which ruined Sullon)

Log if you need to afk for sure.
Always make friends or will die alot more.


PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW BLUE to RED XFERS. It will ruin the server guarenteed. I watched it happen to my beloved Sullon.

I dont recall blue to sullon xfers. Sullon was merged before that went down I think.

What I do recall, and was another nail in the coffin of SZ, was people going to that "Legends" sever to get raid gear and then transfer back home to SZ.

That was pretty bad. (and I did it too [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.])

Rallos was "most populated" but there were two healthy teams servers for years. Maybe Rallos had more people still while Tallon/Vallon were in its prime but it couldn't have been overwhelming or there would have been two Rallos type servers IMO. Rallos' 4 level pvp range was just too small IMO to gain the popularity that it might have been able to get.

With that said, I could care less what pvp ruleset we have, just glad to have the chance to play with some excitement again.

Saying 1 server had a bigger population than 2 separate servers is delusional at best.

Its kind of a double edged blade, teams servers dont really work unless theres a 1000+ person population, so you need a ruleset designed to work with less people. Problem is the only other choice is FFA which scares away a huge portion of people on the fence about playing on the server in the first place.
It has nothing to do with "l2p, get better, log when you afk", FFA pvp is just not as fun... simply put Rallos had half the server population than teams servers, the only sect of EQ players smaller than the FFA's were possibly the RP'ers (FV server).
Compounding the fact that gaurds dont even assist people being attacked into this equation what are we left with? a 24/7 gank fest, which people wont take seriously.

Which im sure will be what all the "hardcore RZ'rs" claim pvp servers were, but they werent - at all.

Blue -> pvp
Legends -> Sullon / Rallos

[Evoken]

Sullon for sure. Not digging FFA.

Teams aka guilds.

I think the staff is concerned that team pvp is bad for dispute resolution. What if two allied guilds want the same mob?

End game guilds are usally comprised of more than one team.

Team pvp in EQ was awesome. It's stupid in a lot of other games because they have only two teams.

teams are gay, quit trying little kids

I'll play whatever. I do prefer teams as a former team server player as there were some cool things about that. Bigger range for pvp for starters. Forced friendships, situations where a "fellow race" was getting jumped, it was almost duty to help him out. But whatevs, I do like that "rep" means more on a FFA.

I like what you said. I've been pushing this on red99 with some other wood elves or ogres. Just invite to group and kill shit. Eventually yeah, if we fight we fight. Last night a Dorf tried to BS 3 wood elves. We would have taken him out, but the mob we were on was eating us and we wanted to not die. So I invited him and he joined us and we had a good little session. Maybe somebody can make another EMU server for PVP-Teams
