There is no “skill” in Everquest

I'd say there's a pretty wide skill gap

It is knowledge vs skill. This is not a skill game. It is knowing what you should do in certain situations... and in this game I'm not talking about lightning fast decisions. You have plenty of time to set up your buff order and then when a winged death hits you, casually think, oh I should dispel this.

If you make the mistake of chasing down someone with a dot on you it should only be a 1 time mistake.

The only skill i believe is in the game is jousting for melees, but that may be because i'm terrible at playing melees

Fellas, I think there is skill in Everquest I've seen it numerous times.

One of the primary excuses for not engaging in pvp I hear is gear gap this, gear gap that.

Again, this is just a small part of a larger project a few pals and I are developing.

godbless

Fame, I'm all with you in your efforts to encourage pvp, and would happily engage in the training battles you've pitched. I don't understand what you mean, though... handing out gear sets to people?

edit: and there is skill in everquest. certain people have a certain acuity, some don't. some are pvp aces, some just haven't grasped the groove.

Awesome! Heh we're not gonna be handing out sets. There is a plan in the works though for a low level progression pvp league system that aims to include everyone during off raid hours but also serves as a population perception boost for new players coming to red. (I know red is "dead" but I don't give a fuck I love this game lol)

There is a lot more and a mountain of details to get through but I think eventually we might get something rolling that could help improve population.

Baby steps.

PS This plan also includes a role for griefers, we're all people.
