OP Raises some valid points, but I mean EQ was like the first big game of it's kind, I don't think anyone really knew what it was going to be or where it was going to go, so they put a lot of stuff in there that really didn't get developed as intended esp. with them selling out to Sony.

There are a lot of things that dont make sense to PVP in game as well. Invis vs animals, undead.. any animal pet line, Feign death, etc... none of those have any use for PvE.

I think the intent was for it to be a balanced game and most people found PVP servers to be pretty boring in all honesty... Made things a lot harder and in the search for mad lewt, the easier the better.

Fixed that for you.

EQ was not intended to be a PvP game. There is a quote a page or two back from Brad mother f*cking McQuaid stating it was not intended to be a PvP environment.

End of discussion.

Intended or not, eq pvp sucks. its not balanced its not fun.

Were you just discussing the idea of eq being pvp or are you another red fool trying to recruit for their server? Because thats getting really F*cking old

I have a great idea, lets scrap red. get blues pop back up maybe 50 people and forget red was ever created...

You are crediting the original designers with too much skill.
More likely they just stuffed up the spell design for some spells.

I'm sure you could find plenty of useless spells that are useless for pvp too....

Sense animals
Invoke lightning
Firefist
Invisibility to animals (camoflague is 4 levels lower and invis vs a lot more)
cascade of hail
calm animal (where would you use this instead of harmony?)
Spirit of cheetah. (not completely useless, but very very close to it)
scale of wolf (we dont have it, but would you really bother with it anyway?)
greater wolf form. (who would bother, normal wolfform is just as good for what druids want)

etc.
