Pvp without loot is not CLASSIC and I will not be playing a pussie style of EQ pvp.

Just to clear a myth up: item loot, especially at higher levels, does not mean everyone is running around naked. Back on Rallos, the good players always wore gear. Some people ran around with Fungi tunics. (not exactly naked). Did they die and lose their gear? Yeah sometimes. But running around naked meant you had zero chance of winning against anyone.

And heres an idea. Make lots of friends and play with them. I always wore the best gear I could find when I was running with my guild. It added so much intensity and risk to the game. And ironically, with good gear on (more at risk), the risk goes down because you are so much harder to kill.

I've been very uninvolved in this debate, but my first question is there a chance to use old RZ rules and have it be FFA for the corpse instead of the player with the killing blow? There was always an added value in being able to "lock" a corpse especially if it was your friends so that no one could loot it. I'd suggest using the same level limit in place for PVP so that level 1s arent locking lvl 50 players, but w/e.

Above is classic.

i mean i can understand it if the server was gonna be huge with 500+ ppl but i dont see that happening

[lordyamish]

only issue i have with it is when somebody makes their first toon on the server, and the server already has an established player base, it makes it difficult for the new player to get ahead cause they are constantly losing all their gear

unless we're talking about single item loot here, in which case..cry more
