Its not the boogie man, it's a short little white haired fuck with a red shirt and brown overalls, and a pocket full of malchites. And he is stealin your hard earned lewtz without risking any of his. Classic is not balanced in any way melees need gear to compete with casters, casters do not need it to compete with melee, melee will lose gear in said competition and become even less effective... it just makes sense.

Honestly it is not gamebreaking for me either way, but I just don't get how people don't see this.

Tombom in those situations you just gotta bag it. Melee's have a harder life, since its been over 10 years since EQ was released you know what you are getting into by playing a melee.

Item loot or not doesn't fix balance. Wear bronze or banded until you get 100mr and then stupid mage root wont land and then he dies in very few hits. But don't think i'm telling you it is fair at all. You're totally right. If you want low level PK easy mode then you definitely want to be a mage.

If you want to be cool, just be careful and put your stuff in bags if you need to.

Nothing stops people from killing their own race.

i like the whole looting anything that isn't equipped compromise

its not gonna scare anyone off the server, and its definitely a good reward for killing ppl

though it would be tough for us pvp champs to properly take advantage of this mechanic since wiping a whole group 1v6 we wouldn't be able to carry all their bags of crap

IF you killed someone in pvp you got to loot a non equipped item and all there coin.

So you couldn't touch there gear but anything in bags was at play. So at least you got a pumice or some bone chips. But every once in awhile you caught someone having extra sets of gear on them or an item they got in a dungeon that wasn't wearable by there class.

On a pvp server many will run around with MR sets and PVE sets of gear.

Think about it.

I have always wanted to play classic pvp with this rule. You don't have to worry about your hard earned gear yet there is plenty of incentive to kill people.

I'll be honest and say that choosing 1 non equipped item is the best compromise I've seen so far, but it doesn't balance the well geared Vs the poorly geared as well as normal item loot does. There is still not risk when you wear top notch stuff which is pretty lame, and anyone out hunting for people on the grind will definitely not have anything in their inventory worth stealing unless they just freshly killed your bro [You must be logged in to view images.

Yeah if you go pvp in guk you'll still get a chance at some bagged item that dropped off their camp etc, I like it.

no punishment for wearing the best gear you've got doesn't sit well with me =C!

Agreed I think it's actually a great compromise.

I feel the same way. I think the server should start with regular item loot.

If somehow there are problems that are really serious (i dont think there will be) then it can degrade to 1 non equipped item loot since this is the only compromise that still sort-of works and should be easy to implement.

Really though I think normal item loot makes more sense.
