I'd be far more concerned about the VZTZ crowd trying to shit on "bluebies" every chance they get, just for the lulz, with or without item loot, than I'd ever be about some guy quitting because he had a bronze BP looted off him. I mean shit, people like Salty (massive bluebie himself btw) are already trying to make lists of people to grief. These are the people that pride themselves on trying to dwindle the population because of a 'lol i made u rage quit' mentality.

The community that populates the server will affect the longevity of the server far more than anything else will. I can only hope that the VZTZ side is balanced out by enough real PVPers and "bluebies", else we will likely see the same old people trying to grief the population away til there's only those ~50-100 people left logging in on any given night.

And yes, a few months into the server we will likely see twinks popping up. When you can stay at level ~10-14 and bind in gfay with a full set of unlootable twink gear, what exactly will deter you from steamrolling lowbies 24/7? At least on RZ the undergeared could band together and potentially benefit from fighting them off.

This is the kind of situation where corpse-camping would be an appropriate PvP response. Without item loot it would be the only viable tactic.

'Course I think item loot should exclude melee weapon slots. Just my humble opinion.

Item loot is far more damaging to a smaller section of classes than the rest, so the next point is even worse due to it.
EQ pvp is already terribly balanced. This will make it infinitely worse, and always has.
Item loot was the least popular option of ANY live server that existed.
Item loot excluding primary, secondary, and ranged is far more acceptable. (though it's still fucktarded to melee while virtually ignored by casters of any sort)
Item loot will just promote naked caster ganksquads. Everyone knows this from experience.
Item loot is just another scream from the crybaby minority for more mechanics that promote abuse and griefing over actual pvp.
Item loot, modified correctly, is the only option viable. If it's all out "loot anything they have" it's just going to be fucking retarded.

Minority crybaby whinebitch opinions:
Training allowed
No GMs ever
Corpse camping allowed
Bind camping allowed
No rules at all
Item looting with the above all allowed

This sounds fun, guys. It really does. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
These are absolutely fucking horrid suggestions.

Well i know i wasent alone in enjoying every second of Rallos zek, maby becuse it was my first server that i played on or maby becuse the dynamics of the pvp appeled to me. With item loot you never forget a name =)

Yes i was sad when i lost a BD-bracer when i went afk 20 sec outside velketors labyrint to grab a coffe.. but what comes around goes around. I atlest had the name of the char who did it =) Ither i could hunt him down and try make his day missarably or i could go on exping farming cash to buy a new one..

With just coin loot and some silly exp penelty i wouldent even have remeberd the incident... just goten a rez and be on with whatever i was doing..

Harrison you sound mad in almost all your post bro. Just sayin.
Also by saying Item Loot I am referring to not being able to loot hand items.

Harrison, also me and I know a lot of other people want this and do not want all that other crap you mentioned. I am opposed to griefing, want GMs to help in extreme conditions (with raid ending trains mostly) Most stuff should be self goverened with the small issues like corpse camping. Just log off for a bit and play someone else, you have been beaten in pvp that day, lol.

Non weapon item loot is the way to go. Should just try it if there is a beta see how it works. If no beta, then lets just play! =P


Also RZ was booming in pop till safe zones etc was introduced. Loved every minute of it and have been unable to find that pre Luclin era EQ feel again, ever.

item loot will hurt the server period most vets want it in but it will make it hard for new people to join the server BUT that being said we were playing on a server will terrible drop rates im sure if drop rates are higher than where we were it would be fine

[Spike Spiegel]

Yeah item loot sux for sure its way nicer just getting to poop all over noobs and not even worry about it. I love owning and then just going AFK and coming back looting my stuff and totally pwning again.

what can I say its the bomb. Also +- 10-20 level limit is best cuz fighting someone within like 5 levels is way hard. When I'm level 40 and fight a level 25 its way way better.

No item loot cuz its too hard on rogues. Mithril is so good but also so shiney. I dont want to get killed.

We gotta make this server the same as P99 blue to help server population guys. I think that it would be even better with just a good /duel system and not even random unorganized PVP that always gets you killed when you are just PVEing

[Clyve]

I'm gonna play a paladin, so I expect to be hounded by casters all the time, but I still want 1 equipment slot (non melee) loot.

I don't want a bunch of griefing or anything else like that, I just want to recreate that dangerous immersion that was Rallos Zek.

[Tewaz]

Item loot except weapons and everyone respawns with weapons. Boom /thread.
