4 levels, super quick and easy change get it on next patch. It makes pvp meaningful and more inviting for new players. I have no personal problems or fears with this personally inb4 trolls.

Oh yeah. It's classic. It will also give the illusion of resists working better.

Not much point to this with teams impending. Also the majority of PvP servers during this era (late Kunark) had 8 level range.

Not the FFA one.

I don't think Nilbog wants to have a custom eq pvp server, because in my provable opinion, custom servers do not do as well as the classic servers.

The same people who brought you xp loss on death and a belief that you should be able to spam root on people because it brings "balance" are behind this level range offset.

Probably shouldn't talk for nilbog.

I don't and I didn't

What would be custom about SZ teams, anyway? Sullon not classic like RZ/VZ/TZ (released in Velious), but was the first server with teams that made much sense. Didn't someone on the dev team say that Red99 was supposed to be a combination of different pvp rulesets?

IMO

SZ teams
VZ and TZ 8 level limit
VZ/RZ/TZ play nice policy

makes a much better emu server than any single live server ruleset. FFA had its time to shine, and now it's time for something different [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

As opposed to those 200 people being divided into the x (greater than 3) number of teams we have now?
