Biggest problem was guild zerg, which should have been addressed by limiting the number of people per guild allowed in a zone and locking people out from looting raid targets if they weren't the guild that killed it (first step in blocking people from cheating the system, there's others, but don't need to write it all out).

Velious itself is a big problem, it's too imbalanced and creates too much PvE shit to do, putting people off doing PvP. It also further splits up the game world, which isn't good for a lower population server.

Plugging shouldn't work, it should cause the person to come out on the other side linkdead, and zoning times should be standardized.

Melee damage in PvP was also a bit too high in Kunark era (and absolutely ridiculous in Velious).

I don't know if Velious is bad for pvp. I've heard a couple people saying it, from time to time, as the reason red died. I could not know what I'm talking about and just repeating a few others opinions. I like Velious as an expansion.

Red died because the content could not provide any further satisfaction for the core set of players who were on fumes already. EQ is about journeys always is always will be. I’d have a quarter of the play time to play a new red but would still gladly play a new red with timeline and just casual qb my way to 50.

I’d never play on a server that I can buy ice comet and level to 50 in 3 days. When EQ becomes diablo2 it’s time to move on to a new server.

It died because the players were assholes who couldn't get along and the staff was forced to step back after trying for many years. Think it's a coincidence that everquest live servers never release a pvp server?

The kind of bergering out crazy behavior that is accepted sometimes encouraged on red will get you black listed on blue. The amount of Jr high locker room trash talk that goes on in occ or in tells is not palatable for many people in their 30s and 40s. It is often extremely vulgar and excessive.

The blue toxic players are way more manipulative imo.
