PvP Zone?

I'm tellin' you guys... New server, dedicated mods, p1999 style, sullon zek ruleset (maybe reduce the pvp level limit to 10 or 15 levels so you can't "grief greeny" all day), cheaters take a swift banhammer to the nuts. If I could pick and chose a couple other rules... no training, and only 2 teams, good vs evil.

Although I love this server and all the work that's been done, I'd jump to this kind of pvp server in a heartbeat. Staged Dueling isn't the pvp we're looking for. "The arena" isn't the pvp we're looking for. Turning in the book isn't what we're looking for. Specific zone pvp is a start, but it's not what we're looking for, because many agree that safe zones were the beginning of the end of EQ pvp, especially when AA's were introduced: manaburn someone and instant gate to nexus, talk a little shit, afk message "lawl pwned betch" and make some food, take a dump, come back and do it all over again. Retarded. The safest you could get in old school pvp was to run into your own city... but what if this certain person had ground out faction there... uh oh, spaghetti-o's. IT WAS AWESOME. And this coming from a ranger, on the super outnumbered/outgeared team, with no instant kill button, by the time I got am2 they nerfed it (before I even got to am3), and I STILL liked it that much.

I'm tellin' you if it was moderated, and the aforementioned rules and setup were implemented, it would freaking rock. ROCK I say!

What really needs to be done is a solid group of players with a good donation history talking to the devs. I think they are "overworked and underpaid" as it is right now trying to get Kunark on the map.

With the right initiative though you can make anything happen =)

i am probably wrong about this, but wasn't there some sort of function on live were you could war with another guild? I seem to remember hearing something about that but it might just have been hearsay

I doubt this is ever going to happen. I don't think the devs really care about PvP enough to take the time to code something like this in. Who knows though.. maybe after Velious is released they'll have time for this kind of thing.

Another way to solve the problem with people zoning away from the pvp zone to get away is rooting or fearing. The classes that can't do this cant pvp anyways so who cares about them or they could just make a pvp friend.

I'd love an RZ style classic server that had this much attention. Perhaps we should get together and find a way?

I still say guild-enabled PvP is the easiest option. What good is a single zone that will be camped at the line and what kind of a coding nightmare would it be for the devs to concoct something like that? Guild PvP would keep you on your toes all the time and would create real rivalries. Heck, I think the upper level guilds would find this useful when it comes to who can claim spawns in the planes.

Hell, fighting for a kill is what we did every night once I got into a raiding guild. It was pretty awesome actually. The top 4 or 5 guilds on the server at the time didn't like each other one bit, but they usually played pretty fair as far as when it came down to giving up the mob if you lost... really my pvp exp was amazing despite a couple of select experiences.. Then again I was near the top of the food chain when it was happening too.
