No risk yet people plug faster than they did when there was no experience bonus, hybrid penalties were in effect and there was exp loss on pvp. Go figure.

YT and the participation award generation being afraid of a 300 player population seeing them die. The eqpvp server is so fun mostly because people don't care about dying, so they fight against odds and corpse rush because who cares it's about having fun.



Although, I will give the players the benefit here and say one of the biggest deterrents is the decision to give PvP corpses a 6 minute rez timer. From an architectural point of view how could this even make sense? In which universe does forcing someone to log out of the game completely (out of character select) in order to preserve their rez timer make sense? The logic is die in pvp = -1 population guarenteed. It means people will NOT fight unless their odds of winning are much higher than the chance of losing the fight in total. This is what breeds the zerg and fear of death. Nobody wants to run naked to their corpse across multiple expansions and velious sized zones.

God the project management here really fucking blows.
