Because TZVZ wasn't fun to play on due to all the differences from EQ live PvP so most people quit:

1) Allowing 2 boxing makes PvP terrible. Attacking people that are dragging macroquest healer mules behind them all day is ridiculous.

2) Casters are already the best PvP class pre-Kunark and TZVZ staff not only put in several caster improvements but also a melee damage nerf on top of that during the <Heresy> vs <Fish Bait> era.

3) You could channel gate with 30 people attacking you (yes, seriously, 30, I did it multiple times) so casters really never had to die if they didn't want to = terrible balance

4) AC did nothing so warriors and mages tanked the same in PvP so a mage gets cleric buffs and has warrior HP while doing 20x their dps
