Yeah, it was a lot of fun though. We would gear them out with our mains even and kept the pk's at level 60 so we couldn't pvp with 65's. It was awesome fun though. We were the best geared pk's on the server. I do know that.

My favorite memory was when I was on Ashrael (wizard) and walked into KD from the wastes zone line. AD was prepping to kill king. there were like 50 of them sitting at the entrance. one of their twinks was there with a cof on. i walked in, nuked once and then manaburned him and dropped him b4 he even knew what was going on and got his cof and zoned out b4 they even know what was happening. was hilarious.

I was lookin' for ya last night. Sat at Neriak char starting point watching some monk and druid solo guards they had no business snaring. Fuckers shoulda been taking off light speed into the guard house/bridge at 20%.

Btw ride the shit out of this duo with any melee + a healer (manastone hi) till they fix it luls.

Superling from PB was crawlin' around here too for a while.

RZ best server. Slew Sleeper. Actual resist/reward PvP system with anti-pk and pks then guild wars.

I actually PM'd ya a few times around 10 or so CST but didn't get a response. Figured you were raiding and/or afk!

I blame myself for not making a tell window on the lurk char

These new fangled non-Classic UI mechanics always get me

Blue 100% more classic than red, there's quite a bit of house cleaning to do there. But red is getting its own new PvP dev, and if its who I think it is... great for business.

Nilbog got the ball moving for red a bit recently which is completely appreciated and outside the realm of anything he ever agreed to do.

We'll hafta see about this teams server but if P99 server history is any indication, people will apply the knowledge learned over the years on day 1.... and have an ENORMOUS evil population (like 85%+) with the good/neuts being the edgy so called PvPs will just face plant in the long run.

I'll try and get atcha tonight in game around the time you said ya msg'd me.

I would have gone red if not for the population. I've only been on p99 for a couple months now, but seeing blue have 800+ pretty consistently and then seeing red in the 100-200 range, well that made my decision pretty easy.

There is a reason that ogres, trolls and iksars all have experience penalties, and they are all evil. Barbarian is the only penalty for good/neutral and it's basically paying 5% penalty for slam, their starting stats are nowhere near what you get as an ogre or even troll. Plus losing necros/SKs vs losing druids/paladins is another net loss for good/neutral.

Having iksars on your side leads to early dominance in Kunark as well which becomes difficult to overcome. Other evils can come level up in LOIO, OT, etc fairly uncontested while good/neutral battle each other and evil humans, gnomes, erudites, dark elves, etc. Pretty much all of Faydwer and Antonica is contested all the time, aside from like Misty Thicket.

So to sum it up: better tanks, better classes, better starting areas. This leads to the biggest advantage of all, population. Once the ball starts rolling it's tough to overcome that inertia.
