I don't think you will get a very big population to start out with so I would suggest limiting the zones to Nektulos, LS, SolA/B Najena EC Nro Oasis Sro and customize some kind of high level zone, maybe Lguk (the drops in there are on par with Sol B) on the side somewhere. Off of Sro perhaps. Of course the starting zones would be neriak and freeport. Just make evils in neriak all others in freeport.
Don't try and do anything special like all these other people are doing like battlegrounds and other ideas. EQ pvp was good enough back in the day without this stuff.
Lvl 50 max, free for all and no level restrictions.
Old zones, no revamps.
Exp modification. I know I wouldn't play if it took me regular time to level, that's just dumb on a server that can go down at any time and be lost.
Just open more zones as the population increases.
Trust me, if you just bring back old school PvP then you will have a lot of people come to play.
I for one get frustrated with taking over cities, controlling areas ect. It's EQ it worked fine the first time, don't change it.
Old school PvP is where its at.
P.S. Don't open any expansions except for maybe Kunark and that's a huge maybe.
