Look at that backpeddle. That pic is pre-merge, so your attempt to flip flop failed.

Nah dawg this is what backpeddle looks like:

You risk absolutely nothing being a naked caster and ganging up on people with items.

Hah you think there's no risk in regular pvp. I guess you enjoy medding to full, corpse runs, and being camped. I mean there's no penalty for dying right now, it's why no one ever gates, plugs, or fights back. Dying is fun. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I didn't twist any words. You really are just that stupid.

When Tallon launched so many people joined it Verant had to take it down and open Vallon a week later. Both servers kept crashing for a month from overpopulation.

What did Tallon and Vallon Zek have at launch? Oh thats fucking right, Item loot.
If anything you should keep posting you are making some great points on why item loot will work.

These people are going to look for the quickest zerg to join, camp away from fights, and minimize their exposure to PVP as much as possible anyway. I'd wager you're in this camp of players. Without item loot + removing all no drop tags there is no other method I've seen to put a check on zergs. Maybe a PVP server just isn't for u dog.

Or maybe you're just an RZ ganker who has no interest in promoting a successful teams server. Sounds like you just want to run around for a few months rooting and nuking undergeared melees to death until the server inevitably dies. Wizard or Druid? What flavor cheese do you prefer your PvP? Tell me, how many emu servers have you replayed that exact scenario on? Sorry, but the RZ glory days aren't coming back, Al Bundy. Maybe time to move on?

As for your wager: you lose. And if I told you just how sorely mistaken you are, you wouldn't believe me. But really, that's neither here nor there. Even the biggest bluebie could tell you that item loot is a godawful idea for Teams.

Hey! new player here on red99 and loving it so far! Just a FYI, i played on RZ from release and there was always Item loot from day 1 on RZ but!..the 1 major change made early on was that players could no longer loot weapons from their defeated opponents, only 1 tradable item and any coin the person had on them. A weapon could only be looted from a person if he/she was disarmed and it fell into an open slot in their inventory in a situation where a player wasn't carrying a full set of bags.

Another problem was that when players hit the level cap they quite often had a full set of NO DROP items and armor which made it pointless killing them if you were only doing it to gank someone for loot drops. Most PvP battles were the result of wars between guilds or fighting over rare spawns or raid boss spawns which made for a very competitive server.

Most players simply learned to bag their items that were dropable if they were in danger of being defeated by another player. Red99 server is very close to how things were on RZ back in the day minus the no item loot rule set for PvP.

Aww poor baby has to keep posting the same quotes taken out of context because his argument is bad. A bloo bloo. Q.Q

And guess what happened? Tallon took item loot off, and tons of people moved there. Then Vallon took item loot off and it stopped hemorrhaging players. You'd know this if you actually played the game. Verant realized item loot was shit and imbalanced and not right in a game like EQ and took it off. Notice they didn't put item loot on Sullon Zek.

Fact remains you can't argue that item loot is super imbalanced toward casters, that melees don't want to play item loot servers, and that it was deeply unpopular and taken off all the EQ PvP servers for a reason. But please, please, please, keep posting!

you seem mad

Who me? I'm giggling like a sissy over here.
