EQ PvP being "unbalanced" is some kind of urban legend started by someone who tried it, failed at it, and decided the problem wasn't his lack of skill but the rules of the game.

Saying EQ PvP is unbalanced is like saying combat sports are unbalanced because you can't just walk in a boxing club as a beginner and start whooping ass. You'll get your ass kicked for sure. Is it because "boxing is unbalanced"?

The learning curve is a bit steep, but so is boxing. It takes a while before you even start to understand what you are doing.

Even awful PvPers such as me eventually learn stuff and score some kills and avoid some deaths. It's really not that bad. Some classes are better overall PvP'ers for sure, but it's all very situational and the most important part is to learn that situationality of each class and how to avoid situations where you're likely the underdog. That takes maybe a couple months tops even for a borderline retard PvPer such as myself.

And I can guarantee you that scoring a legit PvP kill is a satisfaction and a thrill that people on blue simple never get a chance to experience.

There is no benefit to playing on RED. It is a dead server, hence all the red people coming on blue forums desperately trying to get a larger pop.

We love you. Why won't you reciprocate? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hey thanks for the clear answer + honesty. I guess the main questions now are; What could one do to recycle or make it a server that people would want to log in to in the future? Is it even feasible without a major over haul, wipe or fresh idea from the start?

1. Keep Blue as it is
2. Make Green99 as an additional server pre-kunark
3. Soon as Green99 wakes the sleeper* - merge it to Blue and make a new Green.

This way people can experience progression gameplay every couple years or however much will waking the sleeper take from a fresh Green launch.


* Actually probably leave a few months after Sleeper is awoken before merging. So people get to experience the awoken-sleeper velious for a few as well.

Anyone ignoring Swish is missing out on some quality posts.
