Why are people always so butthurt over the world seeing they are bad. If someone is going to gank you THEY ARE GOING TO GANK YOU, YOU WILL DIE. We can have a forumz flooded with bad SS's and terrible ms paint collages (I love these). Or organize it and put it up on a leaderboard to see who is best at EVERQUEST.

I think I prefer the hard work done by the grade school level artists of this forum. The leaderboard won't provide as much entertainment value.

Think outside the box.


Sometimes you can have the best of both worlds.

I am all for item loot, not only because it adds a unique element to the server, but I fear that without it Red 99 is just another Emu server. Population will hover around 100 people and eventually die. I wont beat a dead horse (you can find my posts elsewhere defending item loot) but if you are too carebear to deal with it... go blue 99, and let us hardcores pvp's have our own server without blue influence.

I am down for item loot or any other ideas of pvp death consequences. The reason being is I do believe their is such a thing as a pvp crime. Making pvp extremely costly makes the population more inclined to force all players to self govern themselves.

This idea of "hardcore" is a delusional concept. The more free community and competetive is the one that removes the pests and forces the individual to have standards. Anyone without standards (virtue, honor) where removed like any rodent or disease infested bug.

Killing people randomly and having the "survival of the fittest" attitude just leads to who is the victor, the cockroach or the disease that is attemping to kill it off.

On VZ when item loot was on there was such thing as quality pvp. We had players who honored certain codes of conduct like corpse camping and training while others who didnt. The ones who didnt where outcasts who where killed on site and only had the ability to deal with each other in trade.

Virtue is the "fittest" this whole tribalism concept of who can be the best trash can or cockroach is a childs view of reality and wouldnt survive in a world where death was the consequence.

The greater the consequence the better individuals govern themselves. In this we can have a great pvp community and without this we just have a sewer of a pvp server where the diseases and rodents fight it out on who can smell and be the lowest form of pvper.
