But I thought everyone is playing on Zek.

Maybe wait until Zek dies out first.

Definitely not the same, and it has already died out. It was a hack-enabled custom pvp server just with some classic zones. There are reasons as to why the pop is in the 30s with people 2 boxing and 20 of them sitting afk in nexus (lol) as buffbots or just asleep/working

That new Zek server is not even similar to Everquest.

A new Two-team server might work. Any more teams than that is a bad idea IMO (Based on experience from SZ).

race teams and item loot

[Ziggy]

there were a lot of people who were supportive of race teams when red launched, from what i understand ffa was chosen because it is the easiest to implement

IMO just allow Red/Blue pp and item trades again and see if it brings life back to Red.

It was a great way for bluebies to try out red without the traumatizing experience of starting up naked on a PvP server for the first time in their life. Also a nice way for red vets to make some plat on Blue for shits and giggles.

I dunno why it had to be disabled, I suppose to remove the "it was a cross server trade" alibi from the RMT'ers, but then again, it shouldn't be too hard to just cross check both servers' logs and see if there was indeed a cross server trade. But what do I know.

How about a rallos server? Was best ruleset imo and it was the most popular as well wasnt it? Not sure if sz or rz had bigger population but sz was always lame for me (high lvls constantly griefing etc)

The current red server is the rallos rule set isn't it? The only difference being that rallos allowed one item to be looted if I remember correctly.

I would be willing to try a team server. I really think it should have item loot. Also, in my opinion, no items should be exempted or protected from item loot. If you use it you risk losing it. Yes, even epics should be lootable. The loot received upon killing another player could be randomly selected by the game but nothing should be safe from being selected.

This is a dumb idea. I can understand random droppable loot, or choosing droppable loot, but having someone lose weapons is just dumb.

raiding on a pvp team server does have a problem; certain classes cannot be on each team.

good side will have:

paladin
druid
ranger
and possibly bard

evil will have
necro,
SK

the rest are more so neutral. I suppose a bard can be neutral too; but they are mostly good . also pre kunark has no evil monks.

how would neutral races determine what team to be on? and will options for ralloz zek following wood elves still be considered evil just like on live.

non race or faction teams, auto assigned at character creation
