Hail Denizens of Red!

Pawt here, your resident seeker of Justice! I continue my quest to cleanse the realm of undead and help new players find friends and groups. I continue to have a blast!

With that in mind I'd like to share a few pointers to abate the concerns and questions I had when I began on the server about the culture.


DBAD: (don't be a dick) I am a firm believer in karma. That is part of why I roleplay as a bringer of Justice. I have found that by throwing a buff on someone I meet for the first time instead of a nuke has made me no enemies and lots of friends.
Talk to people: Say 'sup', 'Hail', anything to strangers. This does wonders to diffuse the tension of the PVP environment.
Keep a big Friends list: I even supplement mine with a Google Docs sheet to know what class and relative level everyone I meet is. This helps keeping track of people I meet since everyone is anonymous.
Soloing: Find remote areas. Griefers frequent the common spots where people are known to go. Don't float the mainstream and you'll be a lot safer.
Group: Find a core group of friends your level. I've had some great luck in this department. If you are having trouble with this send me a tell in game. I've made it a point to keep track of some of the best people in the lower levels. Many of which are now members of Justice. I have interviewed and selected players that are non-griefing and experienced. /who all Justice in game if you're 15-40 for great peeps.

Armor as Camoflauge: Select your armor wisely based not only upon the stats, but also based upon the terrain and vegetation where you will be leveling. Remember that if they can't see you, they can't kill you.
