Velious the kiss of death for pvp

[fiegi 8.0]

big lime keeping it real

It's been over a year since we've seen any real mass PVP and it was only about 2-3 fights between Azrael and Nihilum when Nizz came back. Unfortunately Azrael had to have about 95% of their members online to field 40+ and it wasn't even phasing Nihilum to bring 50+.

I think it might have been better for the server long term if Nihilum had lost those battles and pushed people to the opposition instead of the other way around, but that isn't how it happened.

TLDR: there hasn't been meaningful PVP on R99 in over a year, hard to kill something that is already dead.

While there was some mass pvp more recently (mentioned above in Beastagor's post - praise him). This was the most accurate and least bias post you've ever made in regards to that topic. Impressed.

No reason to FQ for a dead guild. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

What do you expect? This server has always been this way and always will. People cup their nuts in fear so hard here it's gross. Everyone is worried about their ego over emulated elf ques, to go out on a limb and risk losing a pvp battle would mean bringing shame to your family name or something. I've seen some spurts of PVP battles but it usually ends in one side getting emo and quitting.

This is a niche game and server that is going to slowly dwindle away over time. There are not any new younger people coming to play Eq emulator. The rest of us that have been playing this shit for years are falling off the map slowly due to marriage jobs kids etc.

It ain't gonna happen if a 2nd guild popped up started contesting and winning, the landslide of warmbodies would shift from guild #1 to guild #2 after a couple weeks.

When holocaust was first entering veeshans peak and we had a couple throwdowns over Phara Dar it took 2 weeks (1 loss, 1 weekend not contesting) for 10 people to leave Azrael and join Holocaust citing reasons like the core not caring about those who havent gotten "BiS" yet, or the guild being dead.

I personally put a ton of effort into the contesting at that time, - but I really had to drag with me into VP all the people who shortly after left to raid uncontested in holocaust or take a break from r99 untill Azrael found ourselves in a more favorable position again.

maybe nobody wanted to be in a guild that treated them like shit to gear up lite and his buddies while inviting people like sektors/borbb
