i think better advice would be to never give out your account info.

What is constantly?

I didnt say PVP did not happen, i said the ratio was poor vs PVE.

If you can show me some people who spend 90% of their time PVPing for days on end ill hand you the money.

My specific example was "Group moves in to KC, kills other group there, fight does not go on for an hour, losing group packs their thing and leaves"

Im not trying to say some PVE groups arent forced to change PVE poopsock spot from PVP

That in fact does happen

90% of the pvp time spent are, currently Full Retard and Flowers of Happiness

and your above example, happens literally everyday, fights over KC

My proposition is:

If you can show me a full week, 7 days (not necessarily in a row) where your guild pvp 90% of the time, for hours, within a 3 week frame, ill give you 5k. ill pvp with full retard for my last week in EQemu (till velious, maybe).

My example wasnt to say "This doesnt happen"

It was to say "This is the main sort of pvp you will find, group A moves group B from camp spot, group B doesnt try to get camp back more than once or twice"

i think what you need to play is a game like league of legends , or battlegrounds in wow , where all you are doing is pvp

if you are here only for pvp , you are in the wrong place big ecoli

btw can my buddy have your shaman if you are bailing? ill give you a discount on a hydro unit if you dont want him.

But i think you should play on red99 still

I am not here only for pvp, but here for it alot. If Rallos was setup like this, i wouldnt have played past the first free month. I played 2 years.

Its just so bad.

Its a bad analogy to point out these other games as if EQ was not made to be like this, because Rallos had constant pvp.

Just an example, im playing a 23 rogue on emerald dream WoW emu.

I see this 28 hunter doing an escort quest, his pet is getting attacked by quest mobs. I decide to attack him. I fuck him up good but he finally kills the mobs attacking his pet, gets on me and kills me.

It was a learning experience. I learned that i cant stealth if im marked by a Hunter mark. Next attempt ill be better, and maybe i will die again and keep learning. And have fun while doing it. This is how Rallos was. This is not how Red99 is. Each and every time i meet someone in Wow, the gauging time if i should engage or not isnt long. Wasnt long on rallos either, just /who and bag my shit if there was potential hostiles/targets in zone.

This is the sort of attempt that a new player is penalized for doing here with xp loss. Even having played for that long a time in EQ, im not sure how well a 16 necro will do against a twinked out 18 war. You have to die to learn this. You have to lose progress in PVE (which is mind numbingly boring already, when you are past the first toon nostalgia) in order to have fun in pvp. Especially as a new player who is not twinked out, its a hit or miss gamble each time he attacks a player, and considering the age of the server, chances are he will be getting a hard twink and die.

Of course you could say "but he wont be meeting many twinks, his range is not populated" which is true (and boring if you like pvp). But hypothetically, as soon as pop would get better, people will start making them twinks, bleed out the new players and its back to low pop again.

People are just holding on to that edge they have by already knowing the game, that edge of having twinks that can delevel naked noobs, that edge of zerging/dominating with sheer numbers and xp loss.

This (and the devs who have seemingly no intention of changing this) is why this server will remain low pop. Most new blood will be shredded and shitted out because the learning curve is 90 degrees with xp loss. Not only that, it makes for a really boring experience (to me). I dont play games to get bored. Even as a 59 shaman i had a bunch of learning to do, the prospect of being forced to do lots of PVE just to pvp as much as i wanted to and get really good did me in after i got deleveled to 55.

There is nothing to do in EQ but fight over camps, and devs wont let players do that cuz "This is not CoD". lol.

Ive fought enough for this issue, its time to throw the towel.
