Fact: EQ was meant to be a PvP game - Page 5

I watched that short documentary about EQ, and the devs said they were arguing over whether the game should be PvP or not. It's my opinion that EQ PvP was accidentally genius, and to this day it remains the best gaming experience of my life.

Clearly you missed Ultima Online / Asheron's Call. If you think EQ PvP generated drama, imagine losing every item you have on you upon death lol.

ppl can't fathom that, Yes they honestly missed UO if they think EQ got it right, haha! Maybe they'll give the comment like- it wasn't 3d, I'll then point them to darkfall online- 3d version of UO, with a bit of morrowind thrown in there (for the most part)

full loot up to and including house looting makes UO the master of all pvp games

EQ definitely had PvP in mind but no more than PvE. EQ was the one game that did PvP right whether you think it is good or not is beside the point. They developed the servers differently as I recall in the fact that changes they made to PvP areas did not effect the blue servers. More companies need to follow that example.

I may be remembering that wrong but Rallos is where I started back in the day, and I did that for a year before moving on to Brell blue server and that's what I remember.

I think you are remembering wrong. Patches were not server specific, they were client specific. Regardless of the rule set of your server, we all used the same client.

This poor attempt at a troll thread is generating some very worthwhile replies [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It's been a surprisingly good discussion that hasn't gone totally south yet.

Can you really go any further south than how it began? :3
