the Red PVP servers population is steadily growing! I think partially to the amount of high end PvP going on between guilds. Azrael + the resistance v Nihilum for raid bosses, mass amounts of death and kills all the time.

Population was at 156 at about 7est.

Little bit later we hit the 161 player mark! Steadily rising week after week. join the fun while its hot.

Still waiting for the teams server because it will actually work opposed to red, if they just revamp red to teams it will fail miserably.

I'm in my 30s now and I've actually seen people in every common exp area I've been to, which I really didn't expect with 100ish people online. If you're into grouping I've actually found it easier to get into groups on Red because nobody cares about your class or race and are a lot more flexible on levels...they just want warm bodies.

If all the bluebies wait for the teams server to drop to start playing on a pvp server, the current red pop that will switch will most likely grief you off the box. Start playing red now. Learn the tactics of PVP and make alliances. Learn who the true enemies are and learn who to avoid. I can almost guarantee that groups from current red pop will be switching and will be hungry for blue blood.

Recon, baby.

Teams99 will be dead a few months after launch once the rerolls remember how terrible EQPVP is and how terrible the R99 community that will plague it is. Let them destroy teams99 just like they destroyed red99, the only thing funnier than 1 dead server they make excuses for being dead will be 2 dead servers.

Poor dude, foaming at the mouth so hard for Velious he's taking it out on the PvP teams server. Close to posting "u mad?" type gifs but I just feel pity for him right now :(

the server got to 160 people, it was rarely going much over 130. i'd say that is a noticeable difference. everyone I know is going red, it is the right thing to do

The only reason red is even as high as it is now is because everyone is bored of kunark after 3 years.

That must be why you tried to app to every single endgame guild on Blue, with the latest being IB only a month or two ago.

Also, if you think red is hugely superior to blue owing to the increased skill and dedication of its players, you need to get a job or a girlfriend or something physical to hang your hat on, not your skill at a 15 year old video game. I'm definitely competitive when it comes to EQ, but I don't base my ego around my EQ achievements.

Yeah because the 80+ people in ecommons tunnel afk/semi afk alone count for a lot, Not to mention the other ones poopsocking boss mobs, or afk in other zones doing nothing. As for the red vs blue skill thing, Yeah I would wager to say most of the red players who stick with it will beat out the majority of blue players any day in pvp. Why? experience. Sure certain blue players might also play on red alternatively or vice versa, But like Zade said.

If you want to sit around and wait for teams server, Soon as you roll a character you will be gone in less then a month because you can't handle it. You'll be either griefed/trolled, Put the trust to wrong person and get your shit stolen and cry, or burn out trying to find people to play with because you don't know anyone.

All these blue players looking at teams99 like it will be salvation, In the end its going to be all the red population old and new with some extra blue players who caught the pvp itch and want to fight for their dragons and loot not sit there and get a first to engage message or whatever the fudge you do.

When the blue population gets mad enough. Lots of mad floating around, but I bet the people getting angry have yet to try the server and therefore can't pass judgement on it.

In all seriousness, I just started on red earlier this week, and while much of your early leveling is done solo the people just can't be beat. I understand red had a reputation that scared away many prospective players but I urge you to give it a shot.

Theres never been a better time to start up on red, with many low level groups forming, a great (for the most part) community that is willing to help new players. Alecta is an awesome new PvP Dev who just started giving the server some much needed attention. If you heard about the teams server the dev team is planning, now is a great time to log on red and get some practice in.

/t Crex on red if you have any questions or want help or a new pal on a new server.

Why are blue players looking for salvation? Because their server is so close to death that the devs need to revamp it and launch another one as a last ditch effort to spark some interest?

Oh no wait...that is your server.

Blue regularly peaks at over 1,000 players, threads start when red hits 160. Blue is doing just fine, red is on life support.

it is a well known fact that pvp server players are simply better at everquest since you are required to know more about the mechanics and subtleties of the game

choosing to play on a pve server is the same as publicly admitting that you are a mediocre everquest player

Being good at pvp in EQ is like being proud of winning he special Olympics as a normal person, pvp takes no special skills in EQ whatsoever and ganking people when they are low on life or in gangs doesnt make you good at a game. PvP is just PvE with ganking, same hotkeys same skills, EQ pVp is not hard whatsoever and never was, EQ was never and will never be known for its pvp. So talk all u want wth your 80 people, bu ill stick with the 1k that doesnt get joy out of making others gameplay miserable just to satisfy my need for others to feel as bad as i do in real life. PvP is just as EZ as PvE, keep telling yourself that it isnt t make yourself feel better about your lousy numbers, but ill stick with facts.
