LOL.
1) EQPVP has a lower population, even with people 2 and 3 boxing.
2) You will see more pvp in one hour because you have everyone starting out in the same areas, around the same levels. You also have alot less zones with classic then on red99.

Once people have tried it and a wipe happens it will go back to a 30 pop server with 12 people playing. Or rogean will release a teams server and crush that server over night. Anyway enjoy.

Most people I know playing Zek heard about the server less than a week before launch, including me. I think the wipe in 6 months will actually increase the # of people interested due to the ability to start fresh.

There is more PvP than Red because red is mostly full of nut cuppers who desperately cling to their pixil advantages and twinks to convince them they are actually good at pvp. When anything is presented that shows even a slight threat, most of these nut cuppers run and slam vs taking a YT. It is a laughable state of affairs.

A great example is that Ohhnoo moron who jumps into Mistmoore with all his twink gear, runs down to GY and proceeds to attack players fighting multiple mobs. Once he could not easily gank and started taking damage, he books it to zone in and plugs. Logs back in 15 min later and trains the group hardcore then proceeds to go back up top and KS mobs that OOR lowbie players are killing at entrance. Real Pvp [You must be logged in to view images.

The rest are people who don't even pvp which makes the server even more laughable. To call Red1999 a PvP server is to mislead people about what this dead server really is. A place for bitter trolls to troll anyone dumb enough to roll on this server. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Shadowbane, Darkfall, DAoC, EVE and many more all had/have very strong PVP elements. EQ didn't even beta test PVP.

Shadowbane was a pure PvP game! I don't remember raiding ever being a part of that game. The PvE elements were basic for the most part. It still angers me to this day that Wolfpack studios did not take an extra 6 months to fix the bugs in that game b4 launch and to secure proper login servers.


That is why Zek is looking so damn good. We can control cities and improve guards etc.

I keep logging in on Red99 and raiding with 20-40 friends and PvPing against 20-40 <Empire>. I'm leveling up another character or two (after my level 60 bard and cleric), helping guildmates with epics and various mobs, and experiencing new raids. When I'm on at primetime, I usually find people to level with here and there (but not always). When I am on at 4am, I can free-farm whatever I want. Maybe I'm missing something, but things seem alright to me!

I think the key to having fun is making friends. I think Teamspeak is vital to friendships on such a small server.

I agree. The server has been fantastic the last while. A lot of old faces and new getting immersed. We've had great PvP against Empire and a lot of people are getting loooy a d enjoying themselves.

I think for the most part the dynamic of Tempest/Empire makes the end game a lot more fun.

from very limited university-funded government-assisted research ive done, it appears both servers coincide relatively well

some rejects who lost their way on r99, such as myself, play only zek and it provides an immersive pvp community and experience ive been missing since 2013

some r99 elitists said naw, and missed out on the early zek game. even (and especially) if theyre skilled players, they're not gonna be a fan of how they have to start behind the curve on zek and wont ever play there when they see ppl running around in 150 MR gear and wurmies slaying them without a chance to fight back. tldr snoozed and loozed kinda folk

and some healthy well-adjusted individuals play both because why not. all it takes is you to copy-paste your eq directory and you can play them both you lazy fuck

i consider myself in the first category personally
