Item loot just leads to an unhealthy lack of melee classes, and naked casters being prevalent. There's no real need for it, and from what I understand Rallos ended up being about as blue as most non-pvp servers because of it.

I agree as well. Not to sound like a bluebie and all that but I just don't have the time to play like I did during live and I'd like to play a rogue or something melee based. If I have to worry about losing gear I'm not really going to be interested in playing.

I don't think it will be that hard to figure out where the PvP is happening. 90% of the time it will be the usual spots. The only thing that would be a challenge is if you were hunting one specific person or if you felt like going to check unrest or some other out of the way dungeon for PvP. But it is just a time sink then, like EQ is always, and does not hurt gameplay in the least.

big ego man. you're afraid to tell anyone on these forums who you play/played in-game.

if you did, I'd make sure you popped up on the wrong side of the YT a couple times once server comes out [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Oh, and for people advocating item loot...

I would personally prefer it, but its going to kill pop, and make the game less enjoyable over all. I highly doubt most of the people advocating it have played on P99, and can honestly say after camping Frenzy for 40hrs with no FBSS drop, that they want item loot.

It would only be an incentive for naked mage / wiz + whatever healer combos running around ganking loot. Thats why it was taken off TZ and VZ fairly early on.

Item loot seems great,

but if you have exp loss add'd to it, someone could just camp your corpse for a while.

say he saw another good item he wants on the body, you are not gonna loot, and he's gonna kill you again, another exp loss? logging off isn't gonna work if it's his new exp spot.

absolutly no gain from kills should be granted, beside loot, coins, and the joy of the kill, as people will probly exploit the shit out of it.

I used to play on Rallos Zek where there was item loot, and a lot of corpse camping. I would definately advice against item loot/exp loss.

Rallos Zek wasn't a fun server. Melee were forced to run naked because of constant gank by naked casters and therefore were free kills since it was just a matter of root/nuke/nuke. Actually almost everyone ran naked unless they had no drop. Corpse camping was very widespread.

There was another zek where there was simply coin loot, that was all right. I personally would advocate for coin loss at most, or nothing at all.
