That's alot of content to play in maybe just enable certain Kunark/Velious zones.

The problem with such a big world is that the population is small and the PvP encounters become more rare, especially with no Translocators, we have to rely on getting around on our own.

And, as any class that cant port, or + Movement Speed, welcome to sitting somwhere for eternity. =(

For everyone who has been complaining about a lack of a good "classic" type pvp server this is your chance to play on one. The server is very solid and I am having a blast so far. The more people that start playing regularly the better it will get.

EQ up to velious was the best time period imo, expecially for pvp. Yes there are a lot of zones, but as the post says, the implementation of hotspots for exp concentrate the population to a cerain extent in specific areas.

Like I said, those that have been wanting a "classic" type server for pvp, this is your chance.

this is more of a classic server rather than pvp, Im going to continue to hold out until an accellerated xp max level 50 server with pvp rewards comes out.

Tallon Zek was not 1 item loot. It was coin only.

Agreed. For a server to be sucessful it has to bring something new to the table. Besides from the fact you say your server will be around a while, it has to be fresh or somehow different to spark real interest.

Good luck.

Well, tbh this server has brought something new to the table. This is the one server where I can play EQ like it was originally in it's pvp heyday- at the time of the Velious expansion, the last Verant produced expansion. Most of the people who I played EQ with originally agree that the Velious expansion was somewhat of a "watershed" time for EQ.

Moreover, the server is legit and classic, the server is on a great box, it's got a great connection, and it has a dedicated group running it. As far as pvp rewards go, yeah if done well they can be nice, but a true pvper doesn't need any more of a reward than the simple satisfaction of killing another player~

Rallos Zek had item loot. I'm not sure about the others. Item loot is all the reward a true EQ PvPer needs .

I was really hyped to play this server, but then I came across this: http://www.pwnedemu.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=24 . What do you guys think about this?

[Smedy]

Im truely suprised to see such a big featured server already open for players, you clearly did a good job by hiding while developing it (which is a good thing in EMU world, cause 90% of the servers never make it to actual game-stage)

I've spread the word to my good friends from vallon zek pvp, and i hope to see many of your faces on the battlefield!

I have one question though, i dont know how foolproof 7.x version is, but how do you attempt to keep the hackers out?

[Fjolvar]

You just convinced me to go buy EQ again. This server sounds perfect even though I'm not entirely crazy about Luclin, I'm glad you guys didn't add PoP! One question though, I read on the website that it said it's no longer divided up by races, instead by guilds... is this true??

[riff]

HAHAH... I went on youtube and were telling people on the PwnedEQ videos that they should go to eqemulator instead.... didnt know it was the server i play on.. wheeeewwwps

I cannot speak for Tallon, since I didn't start there, but I assure you that Vallon Zek began as 1 item loot.

They both started as 1 item loot. It was around 2000 when they changed it to coin only. I remember because when they were going to come out with the decision to be coin or coin+1 item I was sitting in Lfay on Tallon grinding away and someone made a character named Coinz and another person made a character named Lootz and they kept dueling each other This was back when the chat message for duels was still global, and the message "Lootz has just defeated Coinz in a duel to the death" kept popping up. Despite the vocal side who wanted it to remain 1 item loot, the whiners won out and they changed it to coin only.

Before they changed it we used to have 2 sets of gear, pvp gear and pve gear. I was a Wood Elf, and when we would go raid the Gnomes I would stop by the bank and put on my pvp gear first. That way if you died you didn't lose any of your leet equip (i.e. your Crushbone Tunic haha)~ That, and you got really good at bagging your nice stuff when you got jumped by a ganking group. Ahh those were good times.
