There's no lack of pvp; all you have to do is seek it out.

But there's no point to seeking it out, if there was item loot at least there would be a point to it, something to make it exciting.

Oh, and I know what people say about item loot....blah blah blah there's going to be naked casters gank squads running around killing people, good! at least it would make me nervous about sitting there if I knew they were in the zone, you know adding some excitement to the game??? As it is now I could care less who's in the zone, and could care less if I get killed.

I can't even enjoy reading the smack talk in ooc while I med since that is taken out as well...I just have to sit there staring at my screen like a zombie. Or watch TV until I get mana back.

Yesterday someone in range ran by me and I almost attacked him but I didn't. I couldn't even muster enough energy to give two shits about it. I thought to myself, what's the friggin point, and logged off.

You guys are confused, or maybe i havent explained myself correctly.

I know i can find pvp, like that guy i attacked in mistmoore who zoned and never came back. But my problem is that i find pve to be such a bore, that any xp loss caused by pvp is a hit on my motivation to want to grind pve.

Im sure theres plenty of people like me, its just for some reason some people (most active posters i ran across, i bet others just quit without feedback) have blinders when it comes to xp death because they want it to stay in no matter what:

Case study, guy who wants to keep xp loss in no matter what:

He starts his 6 sentence paragraph with this:
"The EXP loss on here is negligible. That is not the reason PvP dosen't happen."
And ends it with this:
"But add the slow ass EXP with the dearth of people and you get what we already have. A server with a population that is slightly declining every week (what it will even out as is anyone's guess)."

Am i the only one seeing the logic failing here?

Also since it seems i like pvp more than people who post feedback about this like softcore and slave, they are probably not seeing the kind of xp loss im seeing pvping. I have to hold back on top of that because of it, i should never have to hold back pvp because it slows down the pve grind if we are trying to emulate a server anywhere close to rallos.

wtf, you guys keep bringing up item loot. Stop, you haven't been around for the last 3 years of eq box pvp. It drives the population to 40. Yes, It's fun. We have had Item Loot in the past many of times, all It did was kill the server in a 2 week period. The pro Item loot community took a slap on the wrist so they're could actually play everquest with pvpz.

Server is tanking because it's a few years late... but it is what it is..

too many games coming out, Diablo 3, Guild Wars 2, Star Wars just came out.. new WoW xpac... a year or two ago when it was just WoW for the most part it would have been perfect and probably drawn a higher pop

Just enjoy whatever you can take from it.. if you don't like it, there will be plenty of new gaming options for you..

While item loot is an intriguing option one only has to recall the past ratio of blue to red players on live, which was well above 10 blue to one red player. Even among pvp servers alone, classicly there was 2 coin loot players to 1 item loot player. A game like this is best with more people playing, more targets, more amusing drama. There is just no way for item loot to fit in with the goals of this server, barring opt in item loot via book turn in or something like that.

I wonder how hard the book turn in thing would be to implement.
