SZ was the first and only Live server I played on.

Good read. Wish I played on SZ way back.

Sullon was always the least populated of the 4 servers. It does sound like it was quite an experience, but I am very glad to have played on Vallon instead.

I don't think the op really captured the essence of SZ. It was very different from that description. Also it lasted much much longer then a few months.
imo three things killed sz. --More than one character per account (introduced during Luclin) --Luclin --- with its instances (risk free exp and loot!) and safe zones (how many wizards would afk in the nexus until mana burn was up. Go for a kill, and then afk again....) --cheaters I didn't mind the massive team imbalance. On the good team we had some superb players and were still able to get things done. Getting things like a cleric epic was quite an accomplishment, something people on team easy (err evil) would never get. The players who stuck with team good in the later levels were of excellent quality. (though man, many personality clashes, trying to keep a guild together or even a raid....) For me what made SZ exciting was mass pvp as well as the sense of danger at every corner. | ||

Luclin had instancing? That's news to me.
SZ was fun the first few months, even with the rampant cheating they couldn't keep up with. Masses running around with bardspeed even though the offset was flagged, infinite breath, warping, instacamps, showEQ tracking, etc. Once the "newness" of the server wore off, it was a disgusting cesspool. It wasn't pvp after a while. It was exploiting, griefing, and training. I went over the moment it opened like most did. I remember LoS from my server made a guild that was nearly untouchable for most of that time. I think they were called Ruin?(It's hard to remember minor details like names that far back) Another example of us "bluebies" shitting down your throats. | ||

And with the best gear and hacks Ruin had about 10% of Darkenbane's points and never overtook them for number 1 pvp guild on the boards, even when the guild went inactive and had no member's for 2 years, they couldn't overcome Darkenbane's insane number of pts. lol but I guess getting the best gear is the goal for blubies why would any guild want to be ranked number 1 on a pvp server lmfao. | |||
