EQ2 wasn't designed to be a PVP game, but it does add a little bit of spice to the game. True… EQ2 wasn’t designed to be a PVP game, but it does add a little bit of spice to the game.

I was in a guild that raided weekends, and occasionally once on a weekday. Partially, it was also due to me being a in different time zone from everyone, and unable to join a full time raiding guild that requires attendance every night, EST. After awhile, there was only so much that we could accomplish, and although there were a couple of zones we haven't raided, it wasn't quite possible for us unless we turned into a "uber" full time raiding guild. My interest in the game started to decline then, because I've reached a stagnant point whereby progression wasn't really happening, or possible. @Lishian: As for playing on a PvP server for EQ2, I didn't really like it either. Games that are designed for PvE ground up, and the slapped a PvP ruleset on top generally don't turn out well. The game has to be designed with PvP in mind, and around PvP. Seeing that you've played Lineage 2 at some point, you should understand what I mean. I was in a bit of the same situation when I played.

I like to quest, and enjoy doing it in peace and quiet, I don't want to have to constantly be looking over my shoulder to see if someone is about to gank me. I played pvp on both WoW and VG, and I loved it on WoW because there's really no quests I was trying to do. But EQII is way more about the quests and quiet enjoyment of the game to me then it is ever about the pvp. Unfortunately, I’m pretty anti-pvp, especially on this game in particular.

I'm sure many feel exactly the same way as you do. I have felt the same before. Try the PVP server if you haven't... it adds a whole new layer to EQ2. How many times have you run from the TS griffin to TS? No problem, right? On a PVP server, you have to remember that there might be some Freeportions somewhere between point A and point B that want to pk you! When you have nothing to do... no raids... no quests... you can always go and gank some players. Not drab at all. I’m sure many feel exactly the same way as you do. I have felt the same before.
