I Making sure you check who's in the zone every 5 seconds before you decide to do an exp pull. Making sure you're always buffed, have good resists on. It's just a certain dynamic that's thrilling sometimes.

This sounds like an absolute nightmare. As i've said before, I tried red twice, was corpse camped and griefed off the server before getting out of the newbie zones both times. The playerbase is toxic.

Sorry what did they hand out best in class titles for again? Why are there pvp patch notes?

I wrote those?

Gay men should be required to use women's locker and rest rooms?

U wot m8?

On another note, best of the best class titles were given out for pvp events... not pve events. This completely sabotages the whole "pvp was of no interest ever to the developers/staff" during this time.

whoah whoah whoah there buddy, are you starting to argue about semantics here? dont make me go look up 15 year old print articles where Brad Mquaid said exactly that.. OH WAIT I dont have to becuse the internet is amazing.

Brad McQuaid:
Absolutely. First, it gave us confidence that an MMORPG could be commercially viable. It also reinforced our belief that unrestricted PvP was a bad thing. We'd played PvP MUDs in the past and were not fans of them. The wanton PvP in UO confirmed for us that we wanted to make a primarily PvE game.

If you're going to try to discount people arguing the same point as you, then you are perfect for a PvP server.

Look I'm trying to get hot lesbians to be required to use the men's locker room can you cut it out already? Oh shit I gave myself away.

To think I had that clever alternate agenda all lined up for nothing kills me now.

[Softcore PK]

Does it matter if it was designed primarily as a PvE game?

The best parts of EQ were largely unintended by the devs lol.

[iruinedyourday]

Softcore PK you have a point haha. But really all I am trying to bring up is that after 15 years on live they only did minor tweeks to pvp and never really made it right (IMO) and that if pvp tries to follow the 'classic' model it wont really work (obviously the devs here agree cus its not classic right now [You must be logged in to view images.

I'm probably trying to push my own agenda of trying to get an Item Loot server PvP server that I can /goto and hang out on as long as I want and when things get to gnarly i can /gobacktopiece and live on the old 'afk going to go microwave a pizza' blue server.

I afked to go make a pizza last night at 10% health, and it never felt so goooood.

Maybe not, maybe Ill just stfu and try to level up a Pker with this XP boost you guys have and be like, DAMN DUDE this is fun!

Seriously wtf do I know about the actual quality of the current design, I havent made a character on Red except to make a petition. I suck. BAN ME (plz dont)

That's how i feel after reading your response, thank you for making my day.

If you played on Red 1999 in the past, why did you quit?
I did not the enjoy the everyone against everyone style of PvP.
The presence of twinks was a large downside as well.

I have several twinks on Blue. But being geared out on Blue tends to helps other players.
Twinks on Red seem to be only there to ruin others fun.

What did you like about the server?
There were some nice people there. Some guilds were recruiting and equipping newbies.

Would you want to play again?
I would give a Teams based PvP server a fighting chance to win me over.
Teams PvP is appealing to me for two reasons:
1) My lack of PvP skill would not be as detrimental to my survivability. There is strength in numbers
2) The fast that everyone starts from scratch means I wont be facing up against a 35 epic'd rogue with a fungi and 150MR.

It's a pve game with pvp added that I think is better than all the other MMO's that are trying to have pvp... well.. since daoc.

Items with separate stats, battlegrounds... all that... stink and I hate it. That doesn't mean there's pvp intention, it means they tried to make a separate game within their game.

Ya'll keep tryin' to hate on item loot, but I notice you aren't on WoW PvPing either.

Damn so. Are you talking to me? You quoted me. But if you listened or read anything that I posted you'd see that I said I WANT item loot. Dude chill, stop attacking people that are not being confrontational. This is a forum, not a PvP server.
