Just tested it. It's the same "crowd control partial resist system" just like what was on VZTZ. The one that over 60% of people voted against on the forum poll.
As a naked druid with 25MR, cast snare on myself 10 times and landed 6 of them. That's how it was on VZTZ, you resist too much with 0 resists, and don't resist crowd control spells enough with high resists, ie: not similar to actual Everquest PvP at all.
This is how every fight goes using this system. Two or more casters port around looking for solo players to zerg. All spam roots, snares, and stuns, other person dies without being able to do anything. It's entirely no-skill, zerg based PvP. Nothing like EQ live at all.
This system also makes it much easier to die than real, legit EQ. The amount of time it takes to do a corpse run in Everquest is so long that increasing the quantity people have to do will just cause tons of people to quit because they just won't have the time for it.
Best geared warrior on VZTZ being chain rooted, snared, and stunned to death below, boy that really looks like a fun server to play a melee on. Can camp every item in the game then still easily die to 2 naked casters:
