Did anyone ever set up a system for PVP or rather the arena? This isn't a serious inquiry. Just curious if there was ever a system set for essentially PVP. What were the outcomes? It was a shower thought that occured to me the other day lol. I wonder how x vs y would play out.

Existential dread? Witty comeback for something someone said the day before?
Have no idea what all that means
My shower thoughts have to do with soap and a hot long haired guy.
Monkey, do we have the same thoughts? Mine are frightening. The soap is on the floor in this picture BEHIND ME, and I'm the only one who can pick it up.Have no idea what all that means

Is it Jesus? You're thinking about Jesus right? Cleanliness next to godliness right?Have no idea what all that means

I do something painfully mind numbing and repetitive for a living so, I call them shower thoughts but my RL job is a lot like grinding out kills in EQ.
Maybe not to this extent lol but yeah, the idea occured to me because during a DND campaign our dm did something where the party has to 1 vs 1 each other and I felt like I was a decently op paladin and then I quickly got annihilated by probably one of our weakest party members.
Absolutely.

Not today DPG!
I was very young when EverQuest PvP was populated and I used to have so much fun on TZ. There's no way to encapsulate and redistribute that experience though. It is not replicatable because the concept is extremely flawed and the entire game has been balanced thinking of only PvE for a long time. But man, back then was such a blast. It's very rare for MMOs to have FFA open-world PvP, so that particular experience was pretty special.
When I was in my teen years I had a lot of nostalgia going back to that and so I developed and hosted a custom PvP emu server that had a modest little community. That was a lot of fun too.
But yeah, EverQuest PvP sucks. The game was not made for that and it was an after thought.

Here is basically my experience with PVP.
You're just minding your own business fighting mobs and suddenly you're dead backstabbed by some rogue you couldn't see.
You're running around looking for someone to PVP and you attack a player that's minding their own business fighting mobs and suddenly they're dead, backstabbed by some rogue they didn't see.
You're trying to do a raid event (before all this instanced stuff) and lead guild on the server shows up, trains you "on accident" wipes your entire raid every time you try to do the content.
You're checking out the raid event you want to do when you realize the guild under you in progression is about to engage in the content, so you train them "on accident" wiping their entire raid every time they try to do the content.
What's PVP like now? Probably not much different, just a much lower population on the servers.
Arena is about the only way you can get close to fighting another player without the expectation for NPC's getting involved in the fight. You're probably going to get jumped because fighting fair is for friends. If you do happen to win, "Just wait till I log my main!"
