PVP in EQ really isnt all that interesting really. Its good for a few laughs but thats it.

My pvp experience in EQ has been press button, move around and hope you dont get hit by sword, axe, whatever else.

Not really an inspiring mechanic.

Proof you never played on a pvp server.

trust me I played on zek server for 10 years , had battle of 70vs70 and even more (when zone crashed) and pvp was nothing like push a bouton and wait , every class had his own strats , there was really skills in pvp , not just gear

Like i said my european friend, I didnt find it all inspiring

Shadowbane had the best PvP mechanic of any online RPG. The whole game was based on PVP. I am sure you have heard of it, most hardcore pvpers online have it and will testify to this. Was buggy as hell though.

While i agree in some ways with Kron on shadowbane, i have to say the best game with the best pvp mechanics for me will always be DAoC, i loved the hell out of that game, and when i got bored of EQ PvE i would jump on mordred and destroy everyone and everything with my guild. Had a blast.

While i would enjoy seeing some form of pvp i think with the way things are set up the only option would be to have it as an alternative to Alt-p with no donators or anything that would completely unbalance the pvp.

Personally as far as the poll goes i would love to see some solo/group RP oriented quests implimented. Quests that require players to go to the old cities and such that can kind of bring some of the immersion/nostalgia back tothe game.

I would also enjoy seeing some more solo/group content in general - i LOVE the way you guys have set up the raid zones, i think that some solo/group content that is involved would be great.

Maybe adding some LDoN zones that actually drop some gear would be great - i remember in live that there were some great drops in the LDoN zones on top of the points u spent on gear, was one of the reasons i enjoyed running them. Here, the Ldons are nothing but a mindless grind that really needs to be looked into imo. The item rewards are awesome, and particularly great for non-raiders, but honestly the grind itself can drive you insane. Add some more variance to the missions and giving the options of more drops in the zones (not just the 3% or w/e chance for a ldon item to drop from a hard assassination boss.)

My 2cents.

I like the idea of pvp arena stylized combat. That said, I'd find it more interesting if instead of characters being popped to level 70, let's make it 6v6 with the characters at level 25 with cb/unrest/paludal armor/jewelry and epic 1.0 weapons.

The reward would have to be tempered to the reason for the inclusion of pvp. Is it a way to gear main characters via LDoN points etc or is it an amusing distraction that will reward tokens that can be turned in for new pet orbs.

I've never been a big pvper. most of what Brontu said covers my 'other' pick..

I would just reinforce the fact that what I've read about the custom scripts and such with the newer raid zones, sounds awesome. Solo/group content with anything close to this would be most welcome.

I really miss the days of farming Karnors to do armor quests which prepaired me for level 70 zones... I'd love it if that continued outside of raiding.

So I would vote for tier'd based LDON's and/or remake some underutilized zones that are equivalent to a particular tier of raiding as an alternative to do armor quests.

I'm pretty new to this server, so there might already be stuff like this but I haven't found it yet... just thought I'd chime in.

Armor progression works well here imo. Every part is timesinkish and is very fun.

Progression as follows:

Karnors > Aug > Kael > Aug > Stillmoon/ToV > Aug > Fire > Aug > VP > Aug > HoH > Aug.

LDON gear will get you to slightly better than Fire, fully augged ofcorse.

Most content for base armor can be done by a group that has been following progression.

Content balance is strong, progression is strong and more importantly, the server population is kind and helpful. If you hit a roadblock ask for help and theres a strong chance you will get it.
