Project 1999 Red: Classic Everquest

Coin loot only? Huh?

Why was that decision made? RZ wasn't coin loot only in 99.

They changed the loot rule on RZ about 1 year into classic on RZ, Alot of player quit RZ after the changes.I really feel a server should never change rules after it made and player join server on them rules, it's not fair to the people that put there time into playing on that server under them rule sets.Whatever Rogean and staff decide on R99 rule set im game as long as they dont change it afterward like RZ did..

Pretty sure there was 1 piece item loot through kunark. I do remember it being full loot at the very beginning but too many people cried and complained so they changed it to one item and nothing that is in bags.

Anyhow, I find myself not being as excited anymore. Part of the fun of rallos zek was taking something that someone spent days camping and the flipside to that, having heart palpitations as 10 people are chasing you after you just looted a GBS.. that feeling you get in your stomach knowing you might lose what you spent 3 days camping.

On RZ you could always loot one item beside what was in hand,secoundary slots and bags rest were all free game.

A classic red server doesn't have to adopt all of the rules of RZ. I'm not sure where people get this idea but it's silly. A classic red server just means that the PvE content will all be classic and that the PvP rules will probably be some hybrid of the rules of the various pvp servers that existed in the early days of eq. As fun as item loot is for some people, it's an absolute no-no with the eqemu pvp community the way it is (which is comprised almost entirely of griefers and shit heads who are unaffected by bad reputation). They're concerned about the population staying consistently high which just won't happen with item loot.

So excited about this. I started playing on the official Progression servers lately which are nice, but I really miss the old school RZ PvP. Level 1-4 corpses littering the starting zones etc. So much chaos to begin with and so much fun!

Starting up on whatever PvP server sony have now (Vallon?) is pointless. Too many restrictions, too many twinks.

Current EQLive pvp is dead. Too big a world, too small a population, too many 1 hit bs abilities, not to mention Mercs /shudder

One thing I always loved about EQ Pvp was that there was no instant cast bs 1 hit kills like so many other games. (This did not come until around Planes of Power) Which is why I am soooo psyched about a classic legit pvp server.

Not to mention blue is too easy. I get bored of just camping for levels and gear... whats it all for if you cannot kill people with the gear you get and fight over the good spawns and have epic guildwars. Whats a guildwar on blue? Whichever guild cries more wins. Fight to the death I say!

RZ wasn't the only classic pvp server. Tallon and Vallon were both released before kunark.

So you can't attack people out of your level range? Pass. Ironic waiting this long only to have the developers candyass the most important rule.
