Would anyone else like to make pointless posts or argue semantics?

Or you all could start right now by doing your server a favor, shutting the fuck up, and promoting a better way to find new players and keep them.

Yet even More posts from clellaen without actual content. This thread is a perfect example of what to expect before someone takes the time to roll on red and just assumes things from the first bad experience.

I never played pvp in everquest, i have some newbie questions.

Are classes balanced to fight each other?

Im afraid to make a wrong toon and realize that most people plays x class because it is the best to pvp. Anyways, is there is the OP class but i do not like to play that class, i prefer to not play red.

My favourite class is SK, how bad or good is in pvp combats? as tank, non-pure-caster, non-binder, non-teleporter, how hard is his life in pvp server?

thenk you

Greetings!

I figured I would post my experience here.

After reading the forums and watching a few of the videos, I decided to give red a try and made a dark elf Shadowknight. Neriak and Nektulos were essentially vacant.

The /ooc chatter was surprisingly tame probably due to the time of day. I was expecting a toxic mess that I was going to have to /ignore and was pleasantly surprised.

Off to killing moss snakes, skeletons, bugs and wolves. Eventually I had enough to buy a couple of backpacks and looted a rusty two handed sword.

After some time I saw another fellow, a level 1 Enchanter, near Neriak. I kept an eye on him and hunted the other side of the hill for a while giving him time to get to level two before I went over and tried to cut off his head.

Rounding the top of the hill a short bit later there is another caster just sitting there (blue con). I head over and whack him with my sword and he takes off running, finally stopping by the guards. He has gear and presumably knows what he is doing so I stop attacking. Neither of us is particularly sure who dies if any in this situation and I have some things to tend to so I camp out.

A short while later I return and run around the hill again this time to find BOTH of them standing there. They back up a step. I send a tell to the first fellow I hit and we decide to group up for a while. Quickly they ding and go down to buy spells only to find they don't have enough so I give them each 5gp from my rusty weapon sales (clearly, still a bluebie).

Eventually I have to go and return a short time later to find the Enchanter (now yellow to me) sitting there at the entrance. I try to cut his head off and quickly find out the hard way that the Neriak guards in fact do not approve of such things.

Had a good time. Will be back.

That's a bold race to pick for shadowknight.

thenk you

there is ways to be OP, and there is ways to evade people who are using that advantage.

For Example people complain about twink rogues with epics ganking them. I have been attacked by many yet only one has managed to kill me ( I am a level 40 druid and still wear mostly rawhide armor). As long as you arent lazy and use your most useful pvp spells you will survive fine. Since I have track I bind it to my movement keys so I am constantly pinging it to see who is around. If I see someone I know is hostile or someone I am unsure of I track them, when I am grouped I press my hostile pvp hotkey, type out the toons name so either someone in the group can tell me if hes friendly, or we can all be on our toes to respond quickly to any pvp engagement. Things like this will save you and your groups life.

as for what class is op, Druid, Mage Necro comes to mind( or bard if you can do it right). any class that can deal with you from a distance is gonna kill an SK unless he has a partner with him usually.

In pvp there is alot of things that you dont know if you have only played PVE, so you will be learning as you go. I advise you meet some folks that are good at playing here, they will hopefully fill you in on these things. Alot of shit seems unfair at first but once you have practice dealing with it, it just becomes another simple obstacle.
