Can't fight level 60's, confirmed will still get ass kicked by lvl 30's willing to fight back, regardless of your fungi.

<3 fungi twinks. Love to humble them and rub their face in the dirt when you show them how shitty they truly re by killing them... with no fungi, or good gear. Honestly, I'm going to be farming and handing out Nathsar Greatswords and other solid performing low lvl weapons just to rewards newbs willing to fight back against twinks.

Honestly, your biggest threat before lvl 40, pvp wise, is fungi twink melee characters. And the best defense against them is a strong offense. You don't need actual pvp gear to fight them, resists don't matter, and they usually have crap resist themselves. Bakingsoda eats fire nukes like nobody's business. What they have is strong offense with twink weaps and mad hp regen.

Regardless of all of that though, agree with OP 100%. Even if a twink kills you and moves on that isn't griefing. Griefing is twinks logging in once an hour to full clear 6-12 people form an XP zone, demand they call LnS, and not leave the zone until everyone has fled or logged off. That's pointless... come in, giv ehtem a taste of PVP, and leave. LnS from what? you aren't there to xp or take a camp therefore you can't demand LnS be called by them. All PVP does not constitue LnS. All PVP is not griefing.

It's ironic though people call me a griefer or PK'er when I am a newb in self looted gear and rags with not very many kills to my name. It's a PVP server.. I came to fight other players. If you don't like a fair fight at lvl 30, WTF do you think you're going to do when you XP up to 50 and have to face raid geared guys that roll 3-6+ deep at all times for their PVP action lol.... pointless to level up here if you don't like PVP


tl:dr Don't level on a PVP server if you don't want to PVP. Don't expect not to be killed. Be willing to kill, or you will die.

And if you don't like to PVP, according to Holocaust you can just roll a bard and swarm kite and no one can stun/snare/root you because that's griefing, so Bards get free pass to lvl 60 with no PVP interruption, according to <Holocaust>

When playing a game of Prisoner's Gambit with memory; the most consistent strategy for long term success is to co-operate until betrayed. Once a person betrays you, you betray them for all subsequent games. Adding forgiveness to the strategy is something I consider a matter of personal taste.

Don't confuse applying this strategy to PvP in an MMO as being a naive Bluebie.

You are presented with two options before you click "Join Server."

1: Project 1999
2: Project 1999 Red

Making the second choice implies certain risks.

Any whining past that point shall be reciprocated with my eyes making a 180 degree arc.

Honestly OP, what did these people think was going to happen? It's beyond me.

They were lured here under the guise that <Holocaust> tag would prevent them from being slaughtered like the lambs they are and this would just be blue without lawyerquest.

My first GF, which I met online (never did that happen again!)

but then I loled

had an older brother who was suicidal and had a wide range of mental and social issues. She tried to get him to play WoW and his version of playing wow was sitting in lower level open pvp zones killing random mobs until players showed up and proceeded with ganking them over and over.

[skitterburst]

the problem with low-lvl pvp on this server (imo, newb here) is that no one steps in to stop the twinks from endlessly killing the same grp over and over until plugs happen. what we need is a guild dedicated to keeping the peace.

because what does it accomplish? you dont lose anything for dying, there's no item loot. the fungi twink is prolly bound 3 feet away and can loot up and do it again and again and again.

bind camp, force lns, and enforce on initial pvp zone
