Does it matter if it was designed primarily as a PvE game?

The best parts of EQ were largely unintended by the devs lol.

Softcore PK you have a point haha. But really all I am trying to bring up is that after 15 years on live they only did minor tweeks to pvp and never really made it right (IMO) and that if pvp tries to follow the 'classic' model it wont really work (obviously the devs here agree cus its not classic right now [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] ) But I think they should take that philosophy further!

I'm probably trying to push my own agenda of trying to get an Item Loot server PvP server that I can /goto and hang out on as long as I want and when things get to gnarly i can /gobacktopiece and live on the old 'afk going to go microwave a pizza' blue server.

I afked to go make a pizza last night at 10% health, and it never felt so goooood.

Maybe not, maybe Ill just stfu and try to level up a Pker with this XP boost you guys have and be like, DAMN DUDE this is fun!

Seriously wtf do I know about the actual quality of the current design, I havent made a character on Red except to make a petition. I suck. BAN ME (plz dont)

If you played on Red 1999 in the past, why did you quit?
I did not the enjoy the everyone against everyone style of PvP.
The presence of twinks was a large downside as well.

I have several twinks on Blue. But being geared out on Blue tends to helps other players.
Twinks on Red seem to be only there to ruin others fun.

What did you like about the server?
There were some nice people there. Some guilds were recruiting and equipping newbies.

Would you want to play again?
I would give a Teams based PvP server a fighting chance to win me over.
Teams PvP is appealing to me for two reasons:
1) My lack of PvP skill would not be as detrimental to my survivability. There is strength in numbers
2) The fast that everyone starts from scratch means I wont be facing up against a 35 epic'd rogue with a fungi and 150MR.

I like the idea of red, but I don't like having no teams, I went to red it was fun and yeah you can make friends to make teams, but I prefer the pvp side when there are set teams that have to stick together to defeat the other sides.

Also i love twinkling in eq, one of the most cool things IMO, but the level 20 chars currently wearing all level 50+ gear and getting camped isn't so much fun.

Guilds choose not to attack but can if they're having a bad day. Just like they can train you, but that's beside the point

They've also said Red -> Teams when it happens(which seems like a massive clusterfuck for current guilds haha) so might as well f around on it now.
