Let's be real here, the hardcore people who dig item loot that are posting here will still play here regardless of risk/ reward. From what I've noticed, item loot hurts populations. I'd still play, but with the time sink that EQ already is, and with how tenuous getting a kill can be, let alone getting an item (and a good item, at that) item loot still makes the risk far greater than the reward.

EQ PvP had one other thing in it that most MMO's dont-- the illusion of glory. Everyone wants to be the best and very few are. Most think they are but...that's another story. People want the social aspects of EQ and the glory and praise for killing another player. It's a funny thing, because most of the epic fights without trains and uneven odds and bullshit are few and far between. That's a problem with the players, though.

No item loot. But coin, sure, who cares? I foresee a lot of loopholes/ exploits with EXP gains/losses in PvP. I wouldn't get too carried away with going above and beyond classic. We're all here in this discourse for the pure and simple reason that a classic PvP server might be released. Let's not forget that.

This.

Seriously, everyone who's posting here is going to play on the server. We need to advocate for a ruleset that will HELP the server population, not destroy it like every other red box.
