EQ: Too many zones for PvP after Kunark

[Knuckle]

I do admit the idea of merged zones intrigues me. Guk portal leading to sebilis instead of outside innothule, for example, provided you have your sebilis key quest.

However, this idea will never come into place, because then the server becomes 'custom'. I see the advantages, and players would love it, but it would scare people off before it could ever happen.

dont think it really matters much atm since it will likely be a year+ after server launch before velious is even added, worry about it then imo when there is a better overview how it would effect the server based on how big the population is at that time.

i wouldnt even consider adding velious unless the server pop was at least over 500 during primetime and since we do not even have a server nor an eta of one that is a long way off.

That's pretty much exactly how SZ was close to the end of Velious. Nobody from the good or neut team ever dared venture into Sebillis. Never saw any neuts or goods attempt to xp in Karnors either.

Only dungeon you could find neuts was Velk's lab and the goods were either hiding in some obscure spot of City of Mist or out in the middle of nowhere in some outdoors zone. So yea, even with 1000+ people online, PvP was almost impossible to find because there were just too many big outdoors zones you could hide out in and do high level xp in such as burning woods, wakening lands, cobalt scar, emerald jungle, trak's teeth. If you didn't play a porting class you're gonna be walking for hours looking for where these people are hiding.

Even if you spend hours running from middle of nowhere XP hiding spot to the next, when you finally find someone in a place like City of Mist, if they don't have a 70%+ chance of beating you, they're all just gonna gate before you actually get to them. So now you just spent like 4 hours searching through zones in 3 different continents for nothing.

Unless you plan on having 2000 people online, adding more zones to Kunark is just a bad idea since Kunark is about the maxmium number of zones a PvP can handle in the first place. This is why I say integrating content past Kunark into older zones would probably be better.

Some of the shit you spew makes me wonder if you really did ever play on SZ. I'm thinking you are just trying to re-hash shit you read years before or are getting info from some scrub who did play there.

If it was so damn hard to find people to pvp, then how did evils - the highest populated team on the server, thus should have the hardest time finding people to kill - constantly lead in points with multiple kills a day? I played up to PoP and never had trouble finding fights; I didn't win them all, but I still had no trouble finding fights.

And when you're dealing with teams, it is war. War is more than just killing and getting credit. If I cleared out a zone but didn't any kills, I still counted it a success. That is one negative on the point system. You shouldn't need an incentive to PvP, otherwise go join p99. It encourages one on one pvp and people will be more apt to flee than stay and fight. I think we can all agree that mass pvp is more fun.

[Doors]

The only thing I'll agree with is removing the /who command. Shits gay imo, if the server pop is high enough, shouldn't have this in.

Also anything mimixownsall writes I just end up not reading because I can't stop starring at his sig.

[Lasher]

I love the /who command but it can be a curse and a blessing. I have had people log out on me while i was in enroute to them. Hopefully the server has enough pop and it wont be a problem

wormoct never played on SZ.

Thats a FACT.

If he actually did play on VZ or RZ or TZ, he was only there long enough to poop sock straight to 60, then quit 2 weeks later when everyone else reached 50+.

He says so himself.

If you listen to wormoct about anything, then you will get your just desserts.

I was an iksar monk named Fraud in <Ruin>, who were you? High level PvP was usually non-existant. Neuts and goods didn't put up a fight. It was like fighting against retarded people swinging at you with soggy hotdogs.

Grunter would scurry off into the shadows while yelling "CLEARLY A DARKENBANE VICTORY" while accusing everyone of hacking while running 12 copies of SEQ on his computer.

You were probably some low level that never dinged 60 before Luclin came out which is why you think PvP was plentiful. There's always some level 8, lowbies roaming around east commons or something to fight.

So, you rolled evil team along with 70% of the population and then complain about the lack of pvp? Not everyone was a sebilis project that got a free ride to 60.

doors, god by reading your shit signature, i want to punch you, though you may be a hippy, have some respect for the founding fathers

I can't tell if the above comment is sarcasm or stupidity. Doors sig is now my Windows background. Thanks Doors, if you did that comic, mad props. I bet GW and Franklin would have a good laugh at it.

I went to this college, and while I still lived in the area the above article was published. It definitely lends legitimacy to your sig.
