I think this is the destiny of every PVP server (it's certainly been Red99's fate for virtually its entire existence), and if I were administering a PVP server, I'd try to code up some sort of feedback mechanism. It would definitely be a little tricky to measure, because the players would of course do their best to try to game the system, but if I started by measuring some basic features (average # of players online, kills per guild, players per encounter list kill, etc) and did some hidden resist/ATK penalties and bonuses for the zerg guilds and the resistance, it might work out <shrug>

Played teams in live and had a goog time but it will suck now that everyone knows everything about the game.

Single item loot +-4 would be real cool but I'd be just as happy with a r99 wipe/new server.

Would beard that server so hard.

I have 8 level 59+ toons and I'm willing to throw that all out the window for a reset .

would grow a dirty beard, not shower, lose my job and happily turn into a fat fucking bastard for a new red 99 classic

No, an FFA PvP server is completely capable of having a strong war that goes on for months with good pvp over targets. It happened on RZ and could have gone on for longer.

Some people in that war decided that pissing off the entire rest of the server and using hax was a good idea and... welp.. lost. Hmm. Mmmm. Yiss 8]~

The thing about EQ is there's no MMR separating the dominant players from the shitty ones and losers need to take it in stride and aim to improve. Empire was not unbeatable, just very strong with a top pvp core and welcomed/vetted/helped gear new players... others refused to do so and the results are clear as day.

Item loot would be fun for a select few I'd imagine. I'd love it cus Id root/rain full groups like they were working on CRs too afraid to wear any gear with strangers.
