People have figured out the emote system for only engaging people who want to fight. Not sure why the players have turned the solo zone into a duel zone, but I agree with Bombzz, if that's what it's going to be, it'd be helpful to get pointers from who you fought about how the fight went.
On paper, a solo zone sounds like a blast, where red = dead. In reality, it's a duel circle jerk where many classes, casters mostly, are effectively disallowed from participating because a theurg/wiz can't bow to begin a fight and win. Furthermore, people don't want to duel many classes, like BDs/necros/minstrels, so there's not much fun to be had there either.
Alteri, another freeshard, had a bounty system, where people who were alive longer were worth more rps/people who had won the most fights without a death were worth more rps/some variation of that. I'm sure that's a significant amount of custom coding, outside the scope of what phoenix is trying to achieve. Unless devs intend for the solo zone to be a duel zone, I'd suggest adding a separate duel zone, or an arena within the solo zone, where people are supposed to respect rules of dueling and encourage constant attacking/adding in the solo zone.
I appreciate the dev's work on this event and the events generally, but this one excludes a lot of classes - mostly based on player behavior and not because of the design of the event. That's probably why there's so much less participation in this event than the last one, also splitting the action into smallman/solo cuts down on participation in each.
The last event was absolutely the most fun I've had playing daoc in over a decade. Although many people did not appreciate the constant jamming of fights, nothing got my heart actually pounding more, and more invested and excited about fights, than the prospect that anyone could inc at any time. I'm probably less than enthused with this event because expectations were set so high with the last event.
I'll largely be sitting this one out.

I loaded up, ran around, killed two people back to back. Get over to the dueling area, stack another bodie, get zerged down.
Literally the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. If I wasn’t busy this weekend I would have camped it with an archer.

hi omicidi.. you should have just prevent the center and you would have been fine... i guess you have engaged sitting peaople that have been watching fights?
and then you have died in a rvr zone? isn't that to expect?
