A lot of EQ PvPers didn't play to fight over high-level loot. They played to run around and kill other players and to add an extra level of danger and realism into the gaming experience. Well-implemented World PvP in an MMORPG is something we've yet to see. That's certainly the basis of what EQ PvP was trying to accomplish originally. Everyone seems to forget that EQ is supposed to a massive, videographic version of D&D.

That was about by far the minority on live.

Here its still by far the minority, but their presence on the forum is louder. As long as people keep repeating that PvP only mantra, people will keep joining Nihilum. You can read LoZ boards and know that the people who talk that game here, talk the exact opposite there. EQ is about player progression first and foremost. Without character advancement, PvP gets increasingly hard and increasingly boring.
