Rallos was a lot of fun because of item loot but it was not more like counterstrike. There were very few PvPers. Most guilds were anti PK and it was a big deal if someone was labeled a PK.

Im not sure when you played but during Velious:

1. Gfay was trade central. You could PVP there for hours (near crushbone entrance) take a break, go shopping for items and go right back to "counterstriking". 24/7 there was pvp going on inside and outside Crushbone + always trade mules advertising stuff to sell even at 3am. Thurgadin's outside with the water was also pretty much 24/7. It is obvious that item loot was a big part of making low tier items desirable as fillers or else why would Gfay had been such a huge success that drew the entire server there. If you dont get how big Gfay was on Rallos chances are you played in the Bazaar era or whatever the fuck happened after Luclin.

2. More pvp hotzones: Highpass, SK near paw, Blackburrow, Queynos hills, Unrest, innothule swamp, Guk, everfrost peaks where we used to set up ambushes at the invisible wall cavern.

3. It wasnt a big deal at all if you were labeled a PK. Some viewed it negatively but many anti-pk like me held the view that without them it wouldnt be a PVP server. Flowers of Happiness, Artful death, Darknenbane, Malicious intent, Black claws, inimical, all guilds with a good number of players which youd have pvp with daily. Again if you feel there was very few pvpers, you must have played post-Velious because there was always pvp at each log-in, thats why it was so addictive to me. The combination of FPS style gameplay (albeit in smaller doses than an actual FPS) with a full side dish of a large RPG world to explore. Fun pvp times are burned into my memory, like these 3 guys who killed me in Queynos hills, went to shop in Queynos and then begged me to stop as i kept nuking them from rooftops. These kind of events happened each time i logged in on Rallos.

Also, in a guild like Hand of Dane, lots of the anti-pks had no interest in pvping at all, im not sure why they didnt roll on a pve server. Me and a few others would be the only ones actively seeking PVP inside that guild, even though the roster shows 200+. Our guild leader was like 62.

Flowers of Happiness had a roster 3 times the size of a solid anti-pk guild like ascending dawn and you joined FoH to pvp. http://ralloszek.stephans.org/rz/allguilds.php

I played on p99 when it was 200-250 high peak pop. Pretty amazing how it's grown and still stays consistently the highest populated everquest emu's

even most of the pvpers were rpers. something like classic RZ will never happen again. not enough casuals.

Yeah artful death was often preparing you to get PK'd with a little "Oh, someone new to sketch!" in OOC. Alot of flowers also liked to troll by acting like "sweethearts" and then PKing you. It could have happened again, but NOOOOOOOOOOOO Red99 had to be QUAID!

For people who know what the fuck they are talking about and made nostalgic by my post you can mess around with a player finder here http://ralloszek.stephans.org/

I used to fight all the time with a guy named Castback and still remember this ranger called grumpygus who cc'd me for 30mins.

How's the pop on that season wipe shit hackfest server? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Now now I didn't take a dig on red, this was really more a jab at the fact that all these great ideas won't go anywhere. Gotta take action yourself, the only person in this post ive seen take action is Vile with Secrets, just facts man. Maybe someone can prove the whole community wrong and make the best eqemu pvp server ever /shrug, even I am still waiting on that Jesus.

Also pop wasn't too bad last season, as I recall we hit up to 225 chars online at one time which was the best we have had in the history of the 'season' based servers /shrug. We aren't trying to control the universe here man just let people have some fun, people seem to think I am a lot more sinister than I really would ever care to be.. lol
