The first MMO experience I had was SZ. 10 years later, I'm still looking for that same experience. I'm coming to terms now that it will never be replicated.

I swear, every time I post something about SZ about 3 or 4 veterans of the server chime in. Keep the faith... the developers here can be stubborn but they don't seem to be completely devoid of reason and critical thought.

Most people on Rallos rolled with additional gear on top of their no drop gear. No drop was just the threshold where you couldnt drop under gear wise. I think this is unnecessarily harsh. People would still get gear from other players without removing the no drop tag.

Thats the stupidest idea ive seen on this server, ever, barring adding jet skis.

Im trying to find a way to not be insulting and comment on this, but im failing.

Heres something as far fetched but less stupid, just for reference: Make the banker as hard as a Dragon, and let players choose 6 items from players bank if they kill him. Will get a heavy faction drop from doing this.

You know there's a server without penalties involving pvp death


**** THE FUCKING BLUE SERVER ****

There is no pvp there and as a result NO PVP PENALTY.

It's like going to a beautiful island vacation, for as long as you want to play there if you are so inclined.

For me it was like being a 200lb rottweiler in a fucking chihuahua cage.

Want free buffs at EC tunnel? Gear in the 50-100pp range that will make your life a thousand times easier? Go play there! You can even roll a healer and group with people wearing fungis, 12+dmg rogue piercers, tstaffs, the works! It's so "pleasurable" and easy.


Now for the people that want a more raw, classic PvP experience? Come on down. But, applying common sense here...

You're just starting:
A: You have friends coming with you with similar play times -> Roll a classes that while be weaker soloing duo well.
B: You have *many* friends coming along -> have some discussion about your play times and if it lines up, roll a balanced group. If you're brave, have it be a balanced melee group.
C: You are coming by yourself and completely retarded-> roll a melee, complain about server "decline", "hard" xp and "pvp penalties".

This isn't a server yet for the clueless or casual/solo melee player.

I've read enough of these stupid theory threads. (Let's keep bumping them too)

What I see here is the result of the modern MMO "community (lol fucking right sure)" crying about classic Everquest. Completely expected.

When the market is flooded with cheap items and if/when your more dedicated friends are willing to power level you and protect you from pvp until max level, I'm sure you will enjoy it more.

Until then? We're getting what the top guilds on blue have always wanted, uncontested raid spawns.

The stupidest ideas typically come from the masses of WoW or wtfever players (who should be going to Star Wars by now?) who claim to know what's good for a classic pvp server, when it suits their interests. There's tons of them, I think it would be a 600 way tie for stupidest idea, because really, each of them has explored the depths of stupidity far enough I care not to venture.

/Harrison off

See you on the court.

So you say an idea is stupid, but can't say how? so what your really saying is "im the typical 24/7 raiding type and I don't want my precious gear looted from people who are more skilled then me", just trying to clarify.
I see you fail to suggest a non-sarcastic alternative which further reinforces that you are nothing but a filthy bluebie.

[Humerox]

now what about eq pvp truly involves skill?

it's gear, pot, level and clickie centric.

lets say i'm in unrest as a 20 wizzie...and a 24 or 26 wizzie pops in and decides to nuke me? what amount of skill will save me? if i'm not close enough to a zoneline where i can use the "plug" skill...i'm gonna lose.

same thing goes for the rubicite bp - wearing 23 warrior. unless i have the "oor healer he didn't expect" skill, and i'm not close enough to the zoneline to use the "plug" skill...i'm gonna lose my nice robe to make a twink richer while i get to use the "QQ" skill.

item loot is not going to help bring people in, and only the truly hardened could put up with it in the current economy. i could...i'd play no matter what the ruleset is...but what casual in his right mind would?

not to mention that it would ruin any semblance of anti-pk...which is what helps balance the server and makes it fun. everyone would have to pk just to stay ahead of the curve.

Ok, so you think that looting banked items from corpses of players is a good idea? Care to explain why?
