New PvP Server Brainstorm Thread

[Doctor Jeff]

AA's area great because it gives level 60's something they can work on whenever they want.

It encourages people to play together and hold camps and zones even at max level.
If we had AA's on red, someone might actually care who seb is "off limits" to.

Yeah, I agree, and I think something like a low aa max would be possible on a custom server, like a "spec" system instead of the "eventually get them all" system normal eq went with.

Also, note I think this server should have the net positive xp group mod that red has. Super encouraging to group play.

-Full loot

I really like full loot, but I think too many people would be scared of the possibility "losing everything" and never even roll a character. Our pop would be as low as it is now (like 20 people on during my play hours)

For one thing, making it just kunark I think a low pop would be okay, 100 people would be totally cool I think.

Full loot is rough, but I think I would make leveling, gear acquisition much easier to compensate. Fastish respawns, and no placeholders. Good churning gear ecosystem. With decent items off vendors and maybe pvp point things.

Would also like to make plugging not work, not sure if that's possible though.

Consider this: full loot fosters a mentality of caring less about pixels and more about PvP. Items will change hands and you stop worrying about it.

yeah, and if loot is easier to get (no placeholders, no variance) I think this could reduce pixel lust overall and increase fun. Having some decent gear from vendors would be cool too, so you aren't just naked if you lose everything.
