EQ was just NEVER balanced around PvP, and as such it has great inequities (wizard manaburns lolz comes to mind)

I had little problems as an Ikky Warrior carving out my own little rep for not taking shit from anyone on Rallos Zek. This is the first blue server I've really been on too and its great, but my fondest memories are mostly PvP related.

I'm not saying EQ pvp wasn't/can't be fun. I definitely think it can. I am looking forward to and will be participating in the pvp event that will be going on. I just pointed out the obvious - this game was never balanced around pvp.

We didn't have all this whining about camp stealing and raid rotations on RZ.

Soooooooo ridiculously fucking truth. Thank you. Most annoying shit ever.

As much as I'd like to have the PvP fans (myself partially incl.) get a chance to relive their classic EQ experience, I have reservations about the idea of creating a 2nd P1999 server at present. The reason being simply that I fear it would split the current population, making the game virtually lifeless at off-peak hours. We've just recently reached a point where getting a good PUgroup at those times isn't completely impossible, and I'd hate to have to go back to soloing 90% of the time.

I've previously advocated a 2nd server (be it PvP or otherwise) at a time when the population can "handle it" (my estimate is +2k at peak hours), and I stand by that.

I think a 2nd server could be good for the population once it hits 1k+, until Kunark comes out anyways. Last night there were 800+ and everything was over packed. South Karana had 30 people in it. Aviaks was crowded, hermit camped, never checked centaurs because at a camp check several people said centaurs were camped, and the spires were completely camped. I had to kill wondering mobs lol, I didn't even do that on live.

As for when Kunark comes out, I totally agree with a 2nd server being bad news though. As much as it sucks being overcrowded, being under populated is the worst. I really miss PvP but wouldn't want to risk ruining what we already have here for a shot at a good PvP server.

I now come to this board just to check and see if there is any news a of pvp server. I also make sure and click on an ad every time I visit [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I would donate $ for a pvp server.

I agree it's a major concern that a second server would dilute the population of both servers, but I wonder how many people like me are out there that don't play atm but would play if a pvp server were created?

A lot of people. Probably 200ish non boxed players who aren't playing right now would be back (those who played TZVZ), given that it was classic. Those who are on TZVZ as well. Probably even the developers there, haha.

Lol, yep, I would bet those guys would come over. It must be a strange dynamic to have only only around 30 people on that server at a time. Maybe they would join together to form a powerhouse guild on a new server.

I can vouch for myself and my friend, both former TZ guys, as people who would come back to play on a pvp server. When I was playing on the project1999 server, I actually met a lot of former RZ and TZ/VZ players. I think these guys are some of the most dedicated eq players out there.
