Well you see...on EMPIRE, yeah you get the top level(till he releases the next "expansion" type deal), yeah you get all the items from a few zones(till he releases the new zones he is working on), yeah you get your suit of Class-Specific armor, but...nobody can get top geared. He released a raid zone about....2-3 months ago, and we have only killed 1 out of the 11 12 or 13 raid mobs there. It's not easy to get there either. Think of a zone where you are required to kill Naggy(think we are only lvl 51) with 1 group, just 1 group, and yes Naggy Cheals on EMPIRE...then imagine getting ported into a zone where the weakest mob has selo's run, cant be split really, and has 15k hp. Clear them out of the way, then spawn a Dragon that usually chain blinds/fears for a good bit of the fight. Yeah...ain't too easy with just 1 group :lol:
The PVP aspect is quite fine too. Whats to complain about? Think one class can overpower another? Not really on EMPIRE. I've SEEN a Wizard own 3 people better geared than he. I myself have taken out a full group with my Rogue. I've seen a CLR own a WAR, I've seen all kinds of crap...not just on EMPIRE but on EQLive too. Yeah we don't have Keeps, Towns, and Castles and stuff like DAOC/Shadowbane, but Magoth has a good PVP server going.
Yeah you might think PVP is boring from simply just hitting "Auto-Attack" or clicking on "Random_spell_2923" but EMPIRE is different. You are always with people...people of your team. 3 teams clash in SolB or Lavastorm = fun. But just my opinion. Out of all the servers I've played on...never once have I had as much fun. But...like Mag said....who cares about PvE...if you want that, than don't play EMPIRE. EMPIRE is for the people who like to kill each other =)
Forgot to add in...the only way OUT of the raid zone is fighting through till the very end. When it first came out if our Cleric died...that meant NO rezzes till we kill the Naggy type mob.
