Sullon Zek: Lessons from a true PvP server

Tenaj! Now that's a fucking household name from The Nameless lol

Most of Ruin left because SZ got stale, and went to the next newest server. (KB? I forget.)

Stumbled upon these SZ threads and enjoyed reminiscing. Played on SZ from the beginning. I was a mage in <Ruin>, first mage epic and first Sal`Varae's robe from TOV. Most of my PvP revolved around various ToW newts trying to hunt me down while I spent hours on end solo camping Quillmane in SK (there was one halfling druid, whose names escapes me, but had lots of fun battles with). Always enjoyed that. I was there for that epic battle in crystal caverns and took the screenshot that was circulated on many of the SZ boards with the members of <Ruin> standing over hundreds of dead newt bodies (haihowru.jpg). Wish I still had a copy of that on my HD....

I can only speak for myself, but it's no shock that most people in <Ruin> were PvE oriented and basically chose to come to SZ (the core of which were from Legacy of Steel on The Nameless sever) for a chance to start everything from scratch and maybe have a little fun with the "pvp thing".

There was no war between Hate and Ruin, though I believe certain higher members in Hate's leadership were envious of Ruin's prestige and success. i.e., We were both a bunch of bluebies, but at least we were good at it. The "demise" of <Ruin> occurred when most of us migrated to the first "Euro" server, Venril Sathir, in hopes of using the timezone difference in our favor. We dominated VS in much the same fashion (minus the PvP), but ultimately most of us got tired of EQ (or MMORPGs) in general and fled to DAoC and eventually WoW or bi-passed both and went directly to RL.

Anyways, there was lots of hate for us (and still is apparently) from all sides, and I can understand that, but we mostly kept to ourselves and didn't bother anyone unless they made the mistake of trying to bring trouble to us. Was one of my favorite times while playing any MMORPG, both because all of the characters on SZ (all factions) and all the great people I spent most of my time with, which was an obscene amount of my life at the time...

If I had a dollar for every time Kirban popped into velks and I was the lucky winner of his manaburn-a-random-person-then-gate. Sometimes I felt like he just had it out for some people.

One time I was sitting at the zone line and he popped in so I ruptured him, he must not have had his crimson pot on because we sat there for about 10 mins before he plugged. He later made it a point to find me whenever we were in the same zone =(

Despite my better judgement, it has piqued my interest!

[Num1RecommendedByDentists]

if you're looking for a classic everquest pvp experience, this server does not offer one

Its the best custom PVP emu server you can get though. A valiant effort.
