Lovely will train the demonstrators with some exploit, and after successfully wiping the zone he'll petition to have the bug fixed.

Aha... AND Half-Elves. I believe that fixes all that. I'll just go edit my post now, thanks.

Remember, guys:

Sullon Zek experience was increased and exp death penalty vs mobs was decreased because there weren't enough people playing and it was hard to level (ie getting caused massive mob-style exp death intentionally, this should be in the realm of Play Nice Policy, period). After this change, Sullon Zek had the largest PvP server population until the bitter end.

I suggest PvP Teams. Teams put the casual player in a great guild-like entity right away, and fosters more PvP action. You see someone not on your team? You KILL THEM!

Casual players often don't join guilds, nor want to. But throw them on a team and suddenly they have a huge sense of camaraderie, a purpose, and friendly help to level. Things become much more fair and balanced.

So I propose:

-Teams:
Ogre/Wood Elf/High Elves VS
Humans/Barbarians/Erudites/Dwarves VS
Trolls/Gnomes/Halflings/Half-Elves

Here we see every team has a 'large' tank type, a good int caster, a good shaman and priest chassis. And we'll see some more interesting combos in race/class. The major problems with teams, ie all large races and necromancers on one side, for example, can be averted this way.

-No more Play Nice policy. This will both eliminate most GM interactions and it will make player interactions fair across the board.
-Enable all-range PvP. This is just fun and logical. It removes the totally retarded mechanic of out-of-range casters. Eliminate exp loss and loot rights from characters who are more than 4 levels above you.
-Remove all No Drop tags in the game. I feel this is critical on such a low-population sever. Especially if we include:
-1 item loot taken from all possessions including bags and banks, except for melee-only style weapons. No more caster favoritism in item loot.

We Sullon Zekkers were mighty disappointed when they chose to not include ANY mechanic that made SZ the most interesting PvP server ever introduced; instead we have this player-hemorrhaging monstrosity that is nothing like any of us from any server remember.

This

When sullon zek came up, the quality pvp clans that had quit rallos zek and everquest altogether came back to EQ for the sz launch, and it was glorious.

The hard coded teams were brilliant.

The total player governance was brilliant.

The xp boost to go along with xp death was brilliant, got half of that here.

Honestly tho its too late, p1999 shot its wad, it wont wipe, and it wont make wholesale changes because it wants to more mimic a few peoples idea of the classic timeline than the pvp timeline. It's just p1999 blue with pvp and that's all it will ever be.

like, reallistcially

p99 vs r99 a different audcience

its amazing this has to be pointed out, literally, for itt but bare with me, I'll try to break it down


no emu server, and i played guildwars I - III (emu pvp not 3rd party shit company bs), empires II, cohpvp1.0 etc

no emu PVPVPVPP server has had 1x, classic, no bonus, at all, exp... even Sullon Zek, THE eqpvp meter, had bonus

ON ITS OWN LINE: pvpers have 0 interest in exping beyond 3 day max 50dru PL, for obvious reasons

\The POINT: having an exp bonus FOR AT LEAST, GROUPS,, ETC,,,,, would not negatively effect the server, only the opposite, as-is pvp, SZ got xp bonus cuz only server lost xp ..on ir pvp death... RZ HAD ITEM LOOT IN RANGE BUT NOT XP LOSSye...VZ/TZ COIN LOOT.... this server has coin+XP so ?????????????????????????????

an xp bonus for grouping is reccomened... less chance of PL, make firAnds, share xp detriments aka troll sk

Bros, I could quote all of you. From Vile, to Darwoth, to Tombom. We aren't here, to shit on mobs.

Increase exp rate all around. Crybaby 50's will cry about it, but half the shit they used to get to level 50 has been or is in the process of being nerfed anyways, so why should I care? Have fun playing with the few dozen people who have 16 hours a day to commit to getting up to max level within a reasonable time frame while everyone else gets bored and quits.

Tough balance to find but the fact remains, you are losing your casuals. And eventually you will be left with a distilled version of vztz full of no lifes. Vztz for all its faults allowed you to break in fairly quick with boxing and increased xp. Im playing a dorf paladin and have been putting in some long nights. Without bard gifts or a full group in a good camp with dung bonus, i literally want to cut off my fingers to stop me from playing this faggot game. Do somthing pretty quick or rename server to VZTZ- druel cup edition imo.
