To those upset about asymmetrical pvp.

Asymmetrical pvp is fun. If you give the weaker side opportunities to have the same gear/stats/stealth. And still can achieve victories.

Really fun to switch to the smaller side. Hardcoded pvp stats with stat caps at 150 in pvp and maximum 5 lvl range difference on pvp atk/def/resist regardleswould of character lvl would achieve this. Unresistable nukes. And no exp death from mobs. Everyone respawns in full gear. Bind only in melee bindpoints only. Let weaker forces pell raid targets, ks, train, etc.

Carebear pvp with no xp loss / corpse runs could be pretty cool!

That's probably the only way you could get the normal player base to give PvP a try. One of the worst things about getting PvP on Red, especially with blatant cheating, is them corpse dumping you deep in a dungeon where it took you a while to grind down with full gear. Then you gotta get real fucking sketchy by hoping you survive a handful of run, root, camp sequences to get back to your corpse, just to be griefed again. If at least you spawned with your shit, it wouldn't be so soul crushing for PvP, and would actually make it more fun. The PvP CR is painful.
If this is what it takes to get more people interested in PVP, then I'd be all for it. I know the average bluebie must have tried PVP at one point in their gaming life and enjoyed it, whether it was WoW pvp or another game. However for some reason, a lot of people have this weird aversion specifically to EverQuest PVP.

So water it down a little bit, make it easier for the carebears... thats fine. It would still be an absolute blast. They could even make custom teams & have lockout timers to prevent people zerging back into the fray with all your gear.

It would solve ALL problems that currently plague blue & green in the process.

The problem with red isn’t an aversion to EQ pvp, it’s the players on red that are a problem; they literally grief any new players endlessly and run them off the server. And then they complain that no one will come play with them lol

It's funny how apparent it is to everyone but the actual R99ers. Probably because they're so used to seeing and exuding that behavior that it's the norm for them. A handful of those players here are the forums are being disingenuous by saying that's not the case, or just flat out lying hoping new players will join the server so they can have their 30 minutes of fun before the newbies give up.

I even love when they say "oh yeah, everyone join, we'll PL you and gear you, bring your whole guild, we'll set them all up" then when you join and /ooc "hey guys, I'm new!" You get a string of "fuck you!"s and "go back to blue, you baby bitch!" Super warm, and chill, and welcoming, just like they say lol

If we're going to continue with non-classic P99, then I'd like to see a server with raid limits. 40-50 people should be the max.

I too tried red when it opened. I was playing a monk and could not find anyone to group with. A ranger made it his mission to hunt me down every time I logged on. I had no recourse to snare + arrows. A dozen deaths over a weeks time and that was it for me. If that's what pvp on red is, then I'm good.

Lol, no GMs read this garbage. They haven't given a shit about anything outside of lawyerquesting raiding on Blue for at least 5 years.
