The main thing that makes me want to play Everquest PvP is stories like Nath and Jeir and Blart. Unfortunately, they existed on RZ, where the majority of the population were anti-PKs like <Peace of Formosa> that didn't really seek out pvp and didn't even gear for pvp. According to these stories, only dedicated PKs would focus on magic resistance gear. Everyone else was susceptible to root and blind. These days, people that don't really love PvP just play on a blue server (me too, currently) and those that want to be PKs play on a red server...and they stack magic resistance, and they like to PK, and so on.

Therefore, there is no longer an environment like the one Nath/Jeir/Blart were in. I guess the experiences they had are impossible these days. I'm not going to be the littlest wolf trying to prey on the sheep...I'm going to be a noob against 20-year EQ pvp vets. I had fun on Red99, though. I'd give it another go on a fresh server.

Peace of Formosa/Peacebreakers was very much a PVP guild.

Only people truly good at PVP risked their gear fighting. Which is why the devs who won't implement things they can't personally handle/don't want to play don't do it here and on other servers.

As far as Jeir/Blart, I haven't checked all their stories but don't see them taking down any big names. The best take away is that pets and NPCs should be nigh immune to CC with resist buffs as NPCs typically had lower stats numerically and buffs would provide a greater effect on them.

Most ppl here would be bagged and wearing no drop.

But who cares about a classic experience?

If that's your takeaway from the story, then you have no soul or understanding of what really makes open world PvP exciting. It's not about stupid superficial YT's or robotic data. (well, maybe ur a robot)

I was always so scared to lose any gear, I would bag and die and the antis would come back and giv me droppables when I was looting lol... My exp was antis always pkd... All my droppables came from pvp... I wasn't max level and cutting the edge I just played the game and loved it aka blown away.... Stuff like even pumices was beyond me back then I def used some cloudy pots tho.... here I Was disillusioned by the rz level ruleset with no item loot , had no reason to level past 20 deleveled from 25/24.... I like a nirgon post tho seems like he down the same lane... Lot more to say and sense to make but don't matter (sip)

Shout out to the backwards man who was outvoted...

Those were great stories, the Nath + Jeir one especially. But yeah...unfortunately that environment is gone. That's why the game code needs to be changed for a server like p99 though; it's just impossible to get a lot of great interaction with the mechanics that exist and everyone being "in the know".

Seungkyu, were you killed at a very important camp or something? I've not had an experience like that at all and I find it extremely hardly to believe someone would corpse camp you for 5 hours if they weren't also there to camp an item. Anyway, there's something called "Loot and Scoot" that was implemented, so the issue you're talking about was dealt with.

I know, right?? The Nath and Jeir one is so cool. Just a wizard and enchanter, taking advantage of hapless adventurers. And as for the Blart/FoH ones, I suspect Salem drew some stylistic inspiration from them.

Maybe what the next PvP server needs is a big guild of anti-PKs. We need a <Peace of Formosa> type guild. They would constantly endeavor to police the highways of Norrath, keeping the PKs at bay, which would allow a significant bluebie population to develop. These, in turn, would be the prey that sustain the PK life.

Were you there at the beginning of the server? A lot of people quit in droves due to this kind of behavior. The population on Red was close to a thousand!

One example I recall was in the Ocean of Tears. Multiple Holocaust members were camping an island the boat passes by.
They were nuking people through the boat with levitation/sow, then ganging up on those who ran on the island.

This was the one I logged off to eat and watch a movie. Ports didn't exist yet, and there was even xp loss...but I needed my combine two handed sword to kill ghouls dammit.

Many of those people on the boat permadied, lost forever at sea. Soon I see Holocaust members complaining the server population is dropping fast. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I became casual and joined a guild called <Fresh>, but that's another story for another time. Cool story bro.

This guy is so mad about eq pvp game style in 2019. Bet he still sucks at the game. So happy they don’t reset this so I can rest. You better believe this shit opens up again and all you blue queens are dying off.

Your so mad, but then say I'm the one who is mad. Then you say your happy, start insulting me, then randomly insult all blue server people as transgenders [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
