MiM AD FoH didnt matter they all feared the Senken. I cant believe some of the old wudan members ive seen in this thread. I remember starting up with the guild when needra created it. Wow its been a long time. I played Senken the greatest SK ever and Tenken. I started back in beta though I was in the regulators when all the pvp guilds from atlantic server on UO moved to rallos zek when eq opened up. Once they all left we went sabbat for awhile then created Wudan. Those where great times though... the best was just like 60 man battle royals in fear while CT was deathtouching everyone it was epic. You guys remember that small group of pvpers that always ran around together I couldnt remember there guild name it changed always but Reddogg was in it Ssok the bard and some necro and wizard. I always fought reddogg me and him battled for top sk spot with gear. Its good to see you guys I just started on p99 yesterday so im a lil late.

Zyrino hahah Ya I remember you well man. God its been a long time. I was thinking about playing there but the pop was so low I didnt know if it be worth it. Plus a friend of mine used to play here so he gave me his plat and I bought a toon. I suppose I could trade for one there how ya been man? Nirgon I remember you too bro.

I was in Ascending Dawn also. First day we tried to take sleeper down was stopped by GM, we went nuts but they promised to allow Rallo zekian to re-do sleeper again the next day with suspicious. After taking down sleeper the next day with other guilds along with Wudan, there was no drop from the sleeper as one enchanter had predicted. Instead we all got a sucky 2 AA's as a reward..

Since then, many of us never came back and should had listen to that enchanter!. Before that when Ranger's had a patch bugged with delay on bow shooting like a machine guns and we were looking at the sleeper, this enchanter begged to kill the sleeper but it was decided by the leader of AD not to do it..

.. now we wish we had!.

Nice screenshots!.

That's why RZ was the lamestpvp server. Along with the fact you had blacklists for people who actually participated (and had anti pk guilds w/e the fuck that means) in pvp and you had a 4 level range iirc.

Tallon/Vallon with coin loot only and 8 level range was the best. That is, until people started xteaming and pande took over.

Truth here.

The big guilds on Rallos Zek had regulations against "unauthorized" pvp. This meant anyone found pvping without their permission was blacklisted.

Whereas on Tallon Zek, the server couldn't even host GM events properly because before a GM could set up and explain the rules, people would already be murdering each other in mass.

As a comparative analogy:

Rallos Zek was the 8th grade prom of servers; the main guilds actively chaperoned and cock-blocked anyone from getting fucked on the dance floor.

Tallon Zek was the Johny Cash at Fulsome Prison; wall to wall mosh pit of the worst murdering raping necrophiliacs known, all wielding shanks ready to stab the next man in the face. It was great.

and what would that make SZ or discord lol

[Nirgon]

RZ was also an FFA server with politics. Being a random PK was pretty much a political death sentence.

People got fucked on the dance floor bro. Hard.

I got respect for a lot of the reputable TZ players.

[Skitliv]

The fuck are you idiots talking about?
TZ you had guaranteed teammates predetermined for you. Do you know how fucking easy that makes it? Sure, there were politics on RZ meant to discourage random PKing by way of blacklisting and KoS list...but that's exactly why the people who DID pk there were so much more badass- it was us versus the world. Not only the world, but the RAIDING world. So we were infinitely outgeared and outnumbered. Server politics are not indicative of the pvp environment because anyone with any balls ignored the silly "blacklist" concept.
Not even to mention all the different generations of guild wars and the fact that even amongst the "blacklisted" there wasn't complete solidarity.

If you pvp'd on RZ you had at most 10 people on the entire server (if you we're good at making friends) that weren't looking to band together and fucking kill you and camp your corpse in shifts for days. You really think you're special when the server is coded to guarantee 1/3 of the population as being on your team?

Rallos Zek, best server because of item loot.

[Krolo]

That is why people find RZ humorous and sad at the same time. The server had every opportunity to become the thunderdome incarnate of EQ pvp. Instead your betters enforced NO PVP regulations on an unregulated server, lol...

The fact that your huge guilds banded together, holding hands to fight the sleeper is a true testament to RZ's pvp impotence. No respectable competitive guild on any other pvp server would have ever let an apposing guild get a free shot on a raid target if they could help it (at least on TZ that is).

On Tallon Zek, a guild (Veneration) awakened the sleeper, not to get a first kill and certainly not to bring everyone together, dick in hand, for a brief moment in history. No, instead they did it purely to fuck over every guild there after from ever farming primals the way you could pre-awakened sleeper. That was how it was done on pvp servers. Fuck, even on the blue servers, the guilds at least new the strategic advantage of cock blocking other guilds from primals (pssst to inhibit competition).

Your hardcore item loot and ffa pvp server rule set means dick if the people that matter are going to carebear it in the first place. Yes, RZ will forever be recognized for killing the sleeper post-luclin with luclin gear. It was a true pve feat and will never be taken away. But the fact that the sleeper managed to stay asleep post luclin so all the heroes could eventually band together for friendship and glory, is just one of the examples of RZ pvp lameness.

[SamwiseRed]

oh damn Krolo on the offense. I gotta agree with the anti pk thing, whats the point of the server? The only pvp going on was deleveled rogues with epics killing low level 20s. Oh and wizards manaburning people then waiting for CD.
