i dont know what thread linked it but just wanted to say i remember rallos zek completely different

It was very political, and all the top guilds were holding hands

the people actually pvping were in the minority

the server was basically another blue server

when the merger happened u had pvp

Game isn't only about level 60.

So yeah, level 60 guys generally held hands. The PK guilds were weaker rabble guys.

The PVP 1-59 was tops.

It was basically a red server, as they go.

I remember reading TZTimes saying Rallos had a blacklist for people who pkd other players unprovoked

Ya those players were called PK's, a bad thing.

Sort of self regulated version of UO's PK system. It actually meant something to be branded as a PK. People wouldn't group with you, ETC.

It mattered more, since there was item loot. People that agreed to the social norm of not murdering eachother would group together, and exclude scum who would backstab their own EXP group to loot a piece of armor or whatever.

It was great.

Now it seems like the only people who play are PK's which is either goonsquad and WOW mentality creeping over, or that only the people who really liked to PVP came to an emulated version of it and everyone else stayed on non PVP live or whatever.

I like seeing the totally skewed perspectives of people that only cared about playing the game at level 60 describing rallos as not having PVP. PVP ended at level 60 my pal, when most guys were decked in no drop there wasn't a lot of incentive to PVP at that stage.

You're right, all the 4 pvp servers were pretty much the same, with little variation. In the high end scene it was hand holding and diplomacy.

On Vallon Zek where i played which was a "pvp server" i'd say only 5% of the actual population were real pvpers, the rest were bluebies that hand hold until there was drama over some loot and then pvp broke out between these top guilds.

To me this is the perfect game, a game filled with only pvp oriented players pvp become dull and boring, bluebies bring emotion to the game and we all know there's nothing like a scorn'd bluebie, they make the best drama. The only way we would ever experience everquest like it was in 1999 on a pvp server is if they opened a blue server, then at the peak of its popularity they enable pvp so the 100 of us that enjoy pvp could become 5% of that servers population, then you would have a pvp server true to what pvp servers were back in 1999.

oh yeah the loot dramas were great

yeah 90% of the server was anti pk and 90% of the pvpers were shitters.

anyone who wakes the sleeper is a piece of shit and you can tell them that I said that.

Only on these retarded servers where the server is stuck in velious for eternity. On a normal server new content is launched and people move on.

When Green winds down, maybe a year or so since velious just dropped, P99 will be ready for a new server launch.

Hopefully it is a PVP server and they listen to feedback from about 8 years of complaining on these boards.

It will get a lot of bluebies just like red did the first time around. With fixes to things like PVP exp loss, and some custom fixes and a new way to deal with legacy shits and the level up race, we might make a really fun server for a year +
