The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Fans of original EQ, and veteran MMO PvP players, should definitely check it out. It's a faithful "classic" free PvP server (through EQ Emu), that has a ruleset very similar to that of old-school TZ/VZ/RZ. There's some pretty good competition already, but the server could use a few more people.
Anyone who finds WoW PvP to be too casual / risk-free should consider trying this. The old-school EQ game and PvP mechanics still have a lot of advantages over more current/recent releases. You actually have to fight for content, zone control, and there is some actual risk in dying. The PvE game is generally more challenging and rewarding, too.
