Starting to question the +/- 8 level dynamic

[Billbike]

Yes let's lower the amount of PvP, great idea Yukakawa.

Good job everyone on the QQ, y'all will succeed in turning red a very blue tint.

[Nirgon]

I thought it was a server with the option to pvp not a server that creates every possible incentive to pvp. Let's have pvp gear and ffa ranges. That will certainly be red.

Red, true red, 4 levels. Bud.

Hope your griefing poop socker community turns out for the best. I'm sure it will attract many new players. Cry for grief oriented rule set-> server population dwindles-> cry that server sucks.

[Rushmore]

play better imo

Last night at 20 I was stomping level 4s. Ususally as I ran by I just practice my jousting and they die quick.

Dont know why I am able to do that but its not 8+/- range, and there wasnt anyone in zone so I dont think they were attacking anyone to be put in my range lol.

[Palemoon]

That is the danger, that the server just becomes a grief server with a population of 50 instead of a real EQ server with PvP enabled.


I think more of a scaling level range would work better.

+/- 4 levels until 20
+/- 6 levels until 45

and then 8 level spread thereafter

There is definetly a large contingent of people here who play just to grief. They do NOT need to be catered to.

I like Pale's idea.
or just make +/- 5 and try item loot please =P

[Softcore PK]

Make the first 20 levels VZ and TZ (not VZTZ) rules. Elf, short, human and dark teams. Can group/guild with the other teams, cannot attack own team.

[Pudge]

it is true you dont want newbs getting ganked and discouraged low level.. and here ppl level so slowly it's not like they can say "well i only have to endure this a for a week or two.." like they might on vztz

make it +/- 4 starting at level 1, but at 25 it opens you up to pvp with ppl 6 levels higher than you, and at 35 ppl 8 levels higher than you. it would look like this:


levels 1-24: +4 -4
level 25: +6 -4
level 26: +6 -4
level 27: +6 -4
level 28: +6 -4
level 29: +6 -4
level 30: +6 -5
level 31: +6 -6
level 32: +6 -6
level 33: +6 -6
level 34: +6 -6
level 35: +8 -6
level 36: +8 -6
level 37: +8 -6
level 38: +8 -6
level 39: +8 -6
level 40: +8 -6
level 41: +8 -6
level 42: +8 -7
level 43: +8 -8
levels 44-50: +8 -8

I think most of you are hitting the nail on the head here. The majority of EQ PvP'ers aren't actually looking to PvP - they just want to grief. So lets not cater to them. I like the scaling level range idea.

[Misto]

Said + or - 4 levels b4 this server began.

Unfortunately the overwhelming population of this server is retarded and wants to relive VZ/TZ.
