Most people just hate being griefed, the live PVP servers had the same problem.... this server actually peaked in its first week or two, it was awesome for 2 weeks after launch. But all the casuals quit because EQ PVP is too stressful for the average player. The p99 team nailed the coffin shut when they tried to make the server less classic in a misguided attempt to help the population with global chat and exp bonuses...for awhile red population was helped a little because Blue to Red trading was allowed and it sort of made sense to farm items on empty Red server and then cash in on Blue.... But yeah, EQ PVP has never been balanced and it's most fun when you are making someones life so difficult they want to quit...which they do....

read cast's ancient blog about why the lag made him ragequit as he lost so many levels to it while bard kiting at launch "why I was the *real* first level 50" | |||

the addition of velious was the final nail though, i already had to check like 12 zones in kunark to find anyone to pvp and now you added even more "space" to feel empty

aside from porting people, you literally would sit there in temple of veeshan casting o'keil's radiation on the tank over and over to make it seem like you were participating and then tried to lie to me when i confronted you about it so you wouldn't get kicked out other times you were dead and being bindcamped in plane of mischief if you're so "anti-zerg" then why did you join the guild for several months? you claim you just wanted PvP, so why join the guild with 90% of the level 60 population? you also joined nihilum, which was in the exact same situation you're holding a grudge because everyone in the guild treated you poorly for doing barely anything worthwhile and for being a social pariah | |||

PvP (and PvE) Everquest needs many modifications to reach that point where it would be sustaining. The concept of needing to continually "level up" and get new gear is an empty premise when left unchecked, it's something that becomes nothing more than busywork, while simultaneously unbalancing the playerbase and the game world. It's a toxic symptom of capitalism, where people think they need more more more "stuff" in order to have value in their life, when actually none of that means anything.

Wizard DPS with 100 people present is completely negligible. If I had "participated" by casting a single lure or two on each trash mob, it would have done nothing useful at all. The raid wouldn't have gone any faster. Quote:

If I had joined another guild it wouldn't have allowed me to PvP more. It actually would have meant less PvP, seeing as how Empire people just ran away from PvP unless they had an insurmountable advantage. So at least I got to fight the <Friends> people sometimes. Eventually that got boring too though, seeing as how Empire just gave up on PoM at night and let <Friends> have it uncontested. Also, the game wasn't nearly as unbalanced during the Nihilum era. <Azrael> was a much bigger threat at the time and it was Kunark era, so there was less of a gear imbalance. Quote:
You know this too, or would know if you paid any attention (seeing as how I was always doing this in Halls of Testing or in PoM groups, which you were frequently at), but your head is stuck too far up your ass. You think being an uber geared Monk means you achieved something worthwhile, when all it means is you grinded PvE a ton uncontested. If the server was actually balanced and there was real PvP competition, then during raids I would have been very active. Instead, the server was ruined by the zerg bullshit and cesspool mentality of the players who were obsessed with pixel-questing, thinking they "won" by doing nothing but the same braindead PvE over and over and over. I scored more PvP kills than anyone else in Empire, and that's with only playing for 1 month too, since I only came back right before Velious launched and the leaderboard had been up long before that. This further shows how completely pathetic the overriding mentality of the guild was, when the most undergeared player in the guild is the leader for PvP kills, and yet people seem to think that person is not doing anything worthwhile, just because they don't act like a brainless slave during overpopulated PvE raids. Trump-heads.
