can't really expect pvp red to ever be as popular as the standard server.


It's not an eq thing.. its just a general mmo thing... ffa pvp isn't as popular as PvE when it comes to mmo's


although I'm sure eq pvp could use improvements that neither here nor there... pvp in general for mmo's is not as popular as the PvE.



I do think pvp in eq relies way to heavily PvE content either way.
