Considering Playing

You'd probably like a blademaster or barb. And of course you need to join harshlands or lost city. Lost city is better since harshlands is pretty much dead.

Harshlands is not dead You can't go anywhere these days without seeing at least half a dozen red names in any given location. More if you count the pink names. And it isn't the same people or guild over and over, either. We have a rep for being "Carebear" and PvE oriented but a lot of people are bucking against that image right now. There are definitely PK and even a few RPK guilds out there, but there's currently some backlash against high level people going after lowbies who just entered the PK levels (3x). So some guilds are trying to shape up their image a little and go after their own levels. But there is still chaos in Harshlands if you don't watch your step. ^x^

Anyway, all that said, Lost City and Harshlands are the only two PvP servers. Lost City has been around the longest, is full, and has its Territory map basically fixed in place with One Ruling Them All. Harshlands is 3 months old, active with plenty of room for growth (read: less lag and space to breathe, but plenty of people to take as allies or enemies). The Harshlands Map is divided more or less evenly among three guilds with a few other guilds grabbing the remaining half dozen or so lands. The two oldest guilds currently maintain the most territorial power, but newer ones are starting to make themselves felt, one territory at a time.

If you like drama, and the chance to make a name for yourself, come to Harshlands. We have anarchy Or at least an attempt to make anarchy. There are also plenty of innocent people to corrupt out of their PvE experience here. Be aware that while Cash Shop use is not required, a lot of the high levels have gotten where they are by using it. But then, Lost City has a much higher playerbase over all - a dedicated gamer (or a rich one) has a good chance to catch up to the top dogs here with some luck & skills.

The crazy wizard lady that should probably be running off to a PvE server but is sadistic and loves the chaos and thrill of the unknown.

(Edit) PS: Sounds like you want to play a barb. If you follow the typical build, they have massive HP bars, great Pdef, and are The Tank of the game outside of a Venomancer's pet Hercules (a $200 cash shop attack/PVE pet). You have your choice of Wolf, Tiger, Lion, or Panda, that transforms into a flaming white tiger and mauls things. Attack power isn't the highest in the game but that doesn't matter much when few things can kill you. Secondary choice would probably be human Blademaster, which is often called up as a secondary tank or secondary Damage Dealer. Sounds like you want to avoid Squishy Mage that deals Magic DD, possibly squishy Archer that does distance physical DD, and Cleric that heals you and does magic DD but is squishy too. Last option is Venomancer, which is a squishy magic class that has its own personal tanks to use as meatshields (pets). They can DD phys/mag depending on their build and pet.

(Edit Edit): By the way, QQme doesn't seem to be camping SP for the purpose of killing lowbies right now. Signs point to the current QQme squad placed in SP being there to PK their PKers. Either that or I got off easy for being so visible in forum? Hard to imagine, I ain't much to worry about.

Veno might be unique as a class, but they're the most common one in the game. I think virtually everyone has at least one Venomancer character - they deal great damage, can tank (with pet), can cast, and are sexy catgirls and foxgirls. (No male Veno class, oddly enough. Barbs are male only, btw.)

As for Equipment drops: You can get binding scrolls from the cash shop with RL money. I think they're pretty cheap, about 30 cents (silver) each. Equipment can only drop if you are killed by another player when your name is Pink or Red - which is what PKer's get for killing. It's the Infamy penalty. White names can only drop from Inventory.

Lost City above all servers!!

A QQme guy told me three or four days ago that anytime someone reports them killing white names they're basically insta-banned. Another QQme guy the day before that told me nearly the same thing, but that the rule was applied only in Secret Passage.

I haven't seen very many QQme bloody red guys very often in the past week, so I guess there must be at least a little truth to that. Not sure though, since that kind of thing can easily get misinterpreted.

Too bad. I think we need the apparent "old" QQme. Makes you work for and really appreciate getting out of the low levels.

EDIT: Just to keep my post on topic, I'd recommend Harshlands because we need more people! Probably more than Lost City, just a guess though since I haven't played on LC.
