Just have the /testbuff package provide some basic gear that anyone could get in a week. A low/mid-level warrior isn't completely helpless with 80-100ish MR, but if you expect them to PvP with 25 MR, nobody will bother testing melees.

I agree with this guy.

"balanced pvp" with junk gear is not the same as "balanced pvp" with standard gear.

You almost need a short test for:
newb gear - almost no resists at all (1 to 14)
mid level stuff - befallen, mist more, etc.. (15 to 40)
planes stuff / guk and dragons (41 to 50)

Serious question, is there any sort of name protection in place or are trolls free to jew our names on release?

So is this legit about Beta being released soon or are you guys all just excited? I visit these forums for updates but all I see is posts of people saying what they WILL do if and when the server actually is up.

Is there a true ETA posted by any devs?

Wassup to all my homies from VZ/TZ! Can't wait to pwn these blueblies and hear the tears!

I don't know anything about special name protection. I'd say be there first, as is the case on any other server. Rogean might have a different answer, but that's mine.

Seems silly not to make the minimal effort to protect the names of the players who are likely to make up the core playerbase of the server. It's not as if it'll get launch delayed by a month. Why let RL griefers shit all over the people who will make your server as popular as possible? A lot of red99's appeal is that many of the big VZTZ names will play there.

its not classic to get ur name stolen upon release

The big difference in our pvp server and vztz is that we aren't making it for 10 people. Sorry, that shit isn't happening. There are loads of people with vztz source and they can bring it right back up if they want to do the same thing over again.

Everyone is an individual to me and I don't care who someone is or was.

In closing, this is not and won't be vztz.
