A Biography of a RZ vet. ( Resist key details to classic inside)

[yaarii]

Oh and in my experience, team-based pvp tended to seem quite blue a lot of the time. On RZ, if you were trying to level, anyone who wanted that spot was almost certainly going to be in-range, and thus, a game-legal target. On SZ, I found that the hard-coded teams tended to divide up zones so you would find yourself only ever fighting IF an enemy team happened to come along. Which wasn't as often as I would like, because they were all bunched in their own zones most of the time to do their own levelling. I'm not saying there wasn't fun times to be had, but there were less genuine 'seat of the pants' moments.

I liked VZ ruleset, because it really brought about a lot of good roleplaying opportunities. And with the teams being soft-coded, players had a lot of freedom to do what they wanted.

RZ -> player decided "teams", that could ally with/against others or none at all. be broken up, reformed w/e.
SZ -> hard coded teams, f'ing ridiculous evil team advantage. iksars, ogres, best old world leveling spots.

I'd really be curious to see how the fighting on SZ stacked up against RZ at the end game in terms of meaningful PvP.

RZ was trash. EQ is a group based game for PvE. I don't like the idea of fighting some guy one day, grouping with him the next day, then fighting him again the day after. I'd rather have permanent enemies than weird shit like that.

Yea dude, what a real credible post you have. All those epics and no-drop raid gear on PvP servers just materialized out of thin air. Nobody PvE'd to get them.

RZ is trash because if you play the game like it's supposed to be played, random PK, kill everyone guy, then you will have nobody to group or raid with and get owned by people with raid gear/epics.

So the people actually winning on RZ, are the people avoiding PvP entirely, making as many alliances as they can, and doing PvE all the time for loot. Thus, the server and FFA ruleset in EQ is pointless.

SZ was much better since everyone on the server had a much easier ability to gear up. It wasn't based around who made the most alliances and being forced to join a guild or you're screwed.

I don't like games that basically revolve around kissing people's asses to try and get into a powerful guild for you to be able to do anything. A solo, un-guilded player on SZ could do well. A solo, un-guilded player on RZ will just get zerged to death by guilds of 12 year olds all day.

That shit about "if you play the game like it's supposed to be played" was the highlight.
