Since to this day, theres still a ton of confusion being propagated about what EQ PvP really is, and since 99% of the people on these forums didn't play EQ PvP on live, or weren't old enough to accurately recall it, let me draw you a picture.

EQ PvP is

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] + PvP

That means getting:

to kill

EQ PvP is NOT

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] can fight [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Terrified of item loot

[heartbrand]

Yes, absolutely terrified of play my wizard and dropping bombs on melees from the sky that can't hit me due to how god awful the z-axis is and using trak tooths / hoops / golem wands on everyone while holding my pinky over the gate pot hot key.

[Nirgon]

Like I said. Too classic for these guys. P99 purple is more like it.

Again, this is what will happen with item loot:

Nihilum or whoever the Alpha Guild is if this went in with a wipe will roll around in gank squads raping newbs and taking their gear. Said newbs will be corpse camped likely, griefed off quickly and quit the server. Alpha Guild will devastate Beta Guild's raids, loot all their corpses, massive QQ will ensue, corpses will be sat upon, more QQ and more quitting. People will never group outside their guild cuz they will be terrified of being PKed mid group and looted. Everyone will have multiple gate pots / hug zone lines, and the apps to the Alpha Guild will continue to flow in as everyone seeks the protection of being in a zerg to protect their pixels as opposed to being in the underdog guild that's on farm status. PVP will continue to disappear, the end. That is how item loot will play out on a server of this pop. Now, if you had a much higher pop server where one guild couldn't effectively do that, then it's a whole different ball game. Back in the old days the whole min/max every1 haz 100 pots etc. etc., wasn't the same, now it is. Item loot won't work here, get over it.

You mention levitate and z-axis and shit in the same sentence as golem wands.

If someone does that, dispel them for a full xp loss. Really hate to share my deep dark pvp secrets with someone, especially someone who can't mention them in the same paragraph and put 2 and 2 together.

I know what happens with item loot, I played on a server with thousands of players that had it.

We logged in for more than just training each other, corpse camping and whatever the fuck else I read in the last few threads.

That's cool, maybe you haven't seen the pop here lately. This is a server of mostly min/max chest thumping power gamers who want yellow text to stroke their e-peen. Item loot will kill pvp.

[Nirgon]

Some people who brush their teeth and go to bed at a normal hour like Huggies want a real PvP box.

The heeb grime must be cleansed.

Item loot now, item loot forever.

[Nirgon]

No the pop will -1 when you get a cloak of flames or fungi looted.

That's about it.

[heartbrand]

Ya, because people with end game raid gear are going to be walking around solo getting dropped by those in not the top guild with item loot in place, and will have their best droppable equipables on.
