I played on EQs Discord server where you basicly started completely over everytime you got PKed, you lost everything including levels and although it was fun for a very limited amount of time, it could have never lasted. Most people quite the first week.
Having buyable/free items available to easily aquire is virtually the same as coin loot or bagging. People will wear thier crap items while PKing and their good stuff otherwise.
I mean they are the same as coin loot in that youre looting stuff youre most likely just going to vendor as its vendor bought and I mean bagging as the free items you could loot are worthless.
If you mean looting all, including bags, then people just wont play because of the poor balance of classes inherent in EQ means certain classes will virutally always be the winners and once someone has lost all the gear theyve spent hours farming, they wont do that again and there wont be a point in playing.
Youre totally ignoring the fact that people actually put time into their characters and to have all that work taken away in one fell swoop makes loot all a bad idea. You really should consider my slot looting idea I posted previously.
Also, youll attract nothing but the curious and assholes who will farm the shit out of people who will then quit leaving noone for the assholes to farm who will then quit.
You might as well make this server a naked PvP server with no loot what so ever.
The psychology of people just wont support a loot all server for a long time and if the server isnt going to last, whats the point.
