I'm interested in what you have to say.

Please post in the thread here: http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=145690

I'll start with my reasons. Try to keep them simple and in a personal perspective. I'm hoping if we keep it simple straight forward and personal to ourselves we'll get a good picture of why the people who post here... but don't bolster the population aren't regular players. Of course the sample is biased by forum registries. But I'll post a link in blue server general chat and invite people to speak their mind.

Keep the thread clean and don't go off topic.

Let me start.

I'm unsure of the servers future.
Server feels lonely and empty.
Lack of personal time to devote to a lonely and empty server.

Thank you for your input.

There is your feedback

PvP in EverQuest is kinda like if they had a League of a Legends match type where you just kill minions and monsters. It isn't in the spirit of the game, the balance of the game. Also, the server is 90% sociopaths and eThugs.

In all seriousness I met some good people on Red, but it was too hard to get regular groups w/ the population in it's current state : (

I played on blue and had a good time while I was there, this was when <Full Circle> was a leveling guild.

I logged on red one day while blue was down, made it to level 5 or so before venturing into ec to take a look around. Some druid ran up on me and at the time I thought he had a green light to attack me so I was scared and ran. He caught up to me and asked if I wanted buffs. He tossed a invite so I accepted, next thing I know we are being whisked away to North Karana so that this "foul elf may be cleansed of filth!" as the treants and druids there killed me. Welcome to level 4. I never logged back onto blue again.

Problem is, that druid was an amateur. Any true bro would have convinced you to invis through an enemy city, and without you knowing bound you next to a few guards.

Lots of good feedback in the Red Server thread. Thanks for those sharing. It's good to know where people stand on this. I'm hoping the staff are lurking in these threads. Ironically less trolling going on in Red Server Chat on this thread.

And this is not a recruitment post. It's for information/sharing of ideas/opinions.

[Tzeriel]

Here's an idea if you want a PvP server. Have the Devs make a fresh purple server. Make it like a WoW PvE server, where you can flag and unflag when you want. You'll attract a crowd that wants to play on a fresh server, you'll attract people who will stay flagged all the time and most importantly, you'll attract the crowd who wants to PvP on their own terms. Friday Night Brawls. I'm sure even "bluebies" would flag up for fun events, weekly or scheduled. That way you could PvP without being at the mercy of the sociopaths as to whether or not you get to enjoy it. When you wanna just kick back, group, exp? Unflag.

[Tecmos Deception]

Basically none of the people who play on red would play on a purple server.

[Goofier]

Ironically less trolling going on in Red Server Chat on this thread.

Hence my post.
For the most part, everyone trying to post how much better Red is in Blue forums focus pretty much on dumping all over Blue. If Blue is so bad, why do you even try to get Blue players to switch? Simple, and we know why: More fodder to stroke the aforementioned sociopathic eThug egos.

And this is not a recruitment post. It's for information/sharing of ideas/opinions.

First honestly sincere and non-threatening post about Red that I can remember seeing, and first time, I think, I've ever replied to one :)

[Azure]

You should probably re-read the OP Goofier. Thanks )

Red has probs. This thread (http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=145690)is about what those probs are. Red players don't generally make to much of a mess on the blueboards and when they do it's generally quickly cleaned up. IMO.

This thread is just to inform people were to share their personal opinion on red.

We (I am, royal we here) are interested in what people who don't normally play red or browse red forums has to say. Hence the post here as well.

[Hamahakki]

The reasons are the same as always:

- PVP in EQ is bad
- Playing on an empty server sucks
- Red population are shitheads

Most people don't want to invest time on both servers so they play the one which doesn't have these problems

[Swish]

The reasons are the same as always:

- PVP in EQ is different

I replied with my feedback on the red thread, but I feel like it's already pretty well known and just accepted. reading through it, most people are in agreeance with what is wrong with the server. I cannot fathom a way that you could save that server from itself though, it's too far gone, it's degenerated hard over the years. the only way to save it would be to remove the people that make it such a shitty environment to begin with.. there's no silver bullet easy fix laying around anywhere. who would be left to play with at that point, and how would you repopulate it? no one would ever take on that task either, it'd be an administrative nightmare. even if you started over fresh and tried to raise it right from the ground up, it'd be a nightmare to deal with.

what a complicated situation. I don't envy the staff's position on how to deal with the red server. it's probably just going to sit there and fester longer.

[Fame]

Hope you can find the support you need here.

[qombi]

Needs to be customized to survive. EQ just isn't good PvP. Increase experience dramatically, something like x15 than normal or even more.

Bounty system, player killer who starts the fight becomes loot able coin and 1 item. items in bags are loot able too. 24hrs logged in before status goes back to normal granted no more starting fights the refreshes time.

Everyone starts with a call for help horn that allows you once per 24hrs logged in to summon a friend to your location.

Teams based on good and evil races would spice things up. Custom AAs which are PvP related for each class.

[Kraftwerk]

90% sociopaths and ethugs is too low would say closer to 99%
