It's a shame that monk is banned and the name will never be used ever again.

@OP,

Next time just type "Join Red" and save me the hassle of thinking this thread was serious.

PvP on one side.

Petitions, tracking, variance, rule lawyering and absurd GM rulings on the other. I know which one I'm picking every time.

PvP is scary the first few times you do it. So is training fear for a CT engage. Or running up to pull Phara Dar with everyone counting on you. It gets easier each time you do it and eventually becomes the most fun part of the game.

Why is this always the response? I've never liked PvP combat in MMO games. Has nothing to do with it being "scary" or "hard" etc, it's just not appealing to me. The older I get, the less desire I have to partake in it as well.

I'm glad there are people that enjoy it, and certainly happy that you folks have the option to do so. But why is it so hard to accept that there are those of us that simply don't care for it? And yes, I tried it back on PvP servers waaaaaaay back in the day for EQ. It was just meh to me.

I just got a sex change, voice changer and Autofire program installed. Am I qualified?

more likely that a very good number of the BDA members would just join empire eventually.

I would bet 90% of all blue converts are in empire.

just look at this thread for proof.

did TMO declare victory when they lost on red or only when they lost on blue?

The OP has presented a better argument than most join red posts. But he still misses the fact that most people on blue don't actually petition. There is a handful of guild lawyers that deal with all that. If your guild does get suspended for something -- it is usually 1 mob for 2 weeks. Not really worth quitting the server over -- especially in Velious.

You also seem to think that petitions defeat the whole purpose of the game (which is competition of course). If the whole point of the game is to bully people out of the zone through PvP...than yea petitions are antithetical to that. However, blue players might not inherently hate petition solutions with the same fervor.

I played before there were barely any raid rules on blue, it was tremendously improved after the rules were introduced. When petitioning was low and TMO insta engaged everything -- the server was a lot worse than when petitioning was high a few years later and multiple guilds competed.

Finally, the OP assumes that petitioning wont ever become an issue on red -- not matter how many people join the server and how much competition is created. I have already heard people bitching about Empire petitionquesting last time they had any competition.
