Unfortunately, there was a bug at that particular time that did make it possible. No NPC in the game was regen'ing hitpoints while in combat. =|

......The once warring clans of Inglorious Basterds, The Mystical Order, and Bregan D`Aerth had put their personal battles aside and come together.........

Look! It's something that will never happen! This is why the Sleeper will never die on P99.








































Yeah.

[Nirgon]

Or how about this server is never going into Luclin or PoP which is what made it possible.

Someone will eventually let the Sleeper out on blue, trust me.

But... we all need scepters of destruction and primal.

bluebie talk about a red server.

Common misconception that pvp in EQ (esp rallos zek) was for anything other than progressing in pve. Rarely was for most, as EQ is largely about pve...

[Nirgon]

I PvP'd for just the fun of it on my main and twinks for the fun of it or looting items from other players.

Yeah, I did the whole out of control heavily staff involved guild war thing there too, but the best days were the Karana/Oasis PvP days and getting your leveling done in the most obscure places because of being a random PK.

As far as "only for PvE progression" - there's quite a few players who'd also jump in here and say "um no" =). Favorites like Sinbad, Platinumkutz, Castin, Firble, Xero (Xearo? the epic mage someone bought and delvl'd) etc.

It wasn't all for raids.. but random pking was in the minority. There was generally factions and rivalries involved. The server was just like any blue server, except you could pvp to settle disputes. This whole, everyones a pk, no order vs chaos thing is one of the biggest things to suck about r99. In a system of complete chaos, its rough on the new guys.

[Nirgon]

I agree with your r99 comments and it being, as I've indicated, the "alternate" 1999 where all evils and roots to success were known. Of course it was going to be hard on new people [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

But, to be sure, early on in RZ... more PvP was a result of random PKs than a guild war. That changed around Velious with the Sabbat split and Ascending Dawn (with help from Begotten, MiM...) vs. Rebirth (PB,FU,Ordo Malleus snuck in there lol).

In fact, the light versus dark aspect was HIGHLY prevalent as was the aspect of being a "kin slayer" on RZ. It was quite interesting and there were Freeport and Nektulos raids where the lights vs darks went down quite a bit, best of times imho.
