Rogean be our PVP Savior... - Page 2

Once your hardcore raiding guild figures out that resist gear is better for pvp, it's all over. An uberguild from another server decided to play on SZ, and we failed hard trying to beat them. In the beginning, they outleveled us by a fair margin, which was just about an automatic win due to resists and better spells. But then they started to raid dragons and gear up. Despite all of our res-box trains, despite camping their geared corpses for 3 days in Skyshrine in an attempt to rot them, and despite our bind-point camping and deleveling one of their bards, they eventually got into ToV and farmed all its insane +hp +resist gear. There was no way to recover from that. Our only hope of beating them was that they would get bored and quit, which they did.

I'm from Rallos Zek as well and I just have to say that EQ PVP was horribly balanced. That's probably an understatement. It was probably the WORST balanced PVP. What made Rallos Zek so much fun though were the people. This was before the days of "lulz" and "epeens" and all the fucking nonsense that makes online communities so petulant and repugnant anymore. A majority of the playerbase on RZ were mature and intelligent adults. The people that wanted to grief either didn't last long or they joined Darkenbane. Either way griefers were not much of a threat beyond level 20.

It was a lot of fun as Hippo obviously remembers as well. I certainly don't expect anyone who wasn't on RZ to "get it" so I'll just end my rant there.

As retarded as it was, I had more fun - on live - playing Sullon Zek than any other server.

It was all about the rush, lol. Still remember the time I killed a level 40ish at level 12 in DC by drowning him. Fun times.

Bards charming the guards in OT and wiping out 50 plus players at a time.

And FANSY!

Best Bet might be a SUllonesq style server... Just ensure all teams have all classes..... and just police hacking... and allow 2 boxing..

There's always bad apples in the PvP community. That was arguably part of it no matter what. I don't know about 2 boxing. I like the idea of actually having to seek out other players to join and be a part of the old experience. I think the server would see a lot more players than TZVZ ever did simply because of the stability issue. It would actually be classic this time around, which is a huge draw for the people that came and went on that old server. I think a mirror image of this PvE server with PvP enabled and RZ style would be awesome.

The only thing that actually poses a problem is the policing of it, it would be nice to not have to. If MQ preventative measures were already taken care of then there's not much else to police though. The player base usually makes the rules, because no GM's are always online. I think it'd be cool though.

The old EQ PvP community are essentially all in touch with each other in some way. We all know each other either directly via phone numbers or by just spreading the word. TZT is still going after 10 years and all the old players are still there. There's not much marketing to the whole thing, it would just take a server and the brilliant host of developers and project managers that are here.

PvP in Everquest is completely retarded and anyone who likes PvP on Everquest is completely retarded. So, I guess start up a Special Olympics server for people who like the absolutely godawful PvP system that the Verant developers shat out when they ate too much salami at the cafeteria

No. You.

how much would it cost to get a pvp server going?
i'd personally donate to get a pvp classic server.
plus it would give some of us late joiners a chance to play from scratch too

Imballance promoted grouping in pvp.

If I wanted to hear people cry about pvp ballanced around 1v1 (which everyone is talking about). Then I'll go back to WoW.

Rarely on Sullon Zek did you see singles runnin around in highly contested areas.

The epic battles that ensued were unlike any other game also.

What started out as one or two people corpse camping turned into everyone bringing as many people possible to an epic scale slaughter. There would be over 200 people in a zone warring. It was the best.
