msg to the developers


There's a problem here.

If you look at the logs of playerkillings in the past, and especially the comment sections, it appears people really managed to find innovative ways to pk. Something that hadn't been done before. Be it using berserking medallion on 5 people with packable vovs, be it separating 5 men and locking the remainder in Dale marshes, be it combining the total powers of a sapphire sword and maxed warrior to kill two, etc, etc.

So what have we seen in the past 5 years?

Rarely any top20 log.

Relatively less pvp (inter)action.

Boredom/decreasing activity.

What's the problem in terms of pvp?

There is just not enough innovative things out there to do. Coding 5 or 20 more lockups doesn't help. That encourages 24/7 play to get all the keys, not doing something FUN.

Taking away MT glass, mordor bushes, etc, also didn't help.

But more importantly, there is just not anything to do atm! And I am not talking about about coding a quest that takes 3 hours to complete, or a similarly-timed lockup in order to use, or an item that comes from a 3h-quest that pwns.

What we see now, to recap, is a ton of players spending a ton of time gearing boring eq, not hunting around, or if hunting, relying on their mappers, having all keys, so what's the fun?

Are you trying to tell me they're having fun killing me everytime I decide to hunt them to death, or mess up once after hours of trying to get them to do anything? I'm not sure they're having fun.

The place is just packed, we know everything, and it's boring. Do something about it?
