Also there's a few people trading blue/red plat around - worth looking into if interested in having some startup cash :)

I think he is referring to the fact that chocolate is generally deemed "poisonous" for dogs consumption. Though I had a dog that ate several full bars and lived quite long. Her stomach may have been made of steel though.

Funny metaphor though. Giving people something toxic...

I played red, it was kinda cool for a little while. Eventually went back to blue. Might come back for a little while...Dunno man.

I tried red yesterday. I got to level 2 and then some twinked asshole (with a friend hovering nearby to back him up) killed my naked newb ass. I didn't think that shit started til 5 and up. I didn't even have a chance to earn enough for my offensive spells yet. Not fun at all.

Most of the twinks will only kill you once, if at all, when you're new. At least from what I noticed. Even gave me back the little bit of cash I had on me. But I only stuck around til 24.

I've started probably 6-7 characters and never had that happen, I'd say that's just unlucky :p

If you die in pcp you have a LNS policy serverwide, you simply relocate to another area and go back to xping. People just can't cut it on a pvp server sometimes but in reality its morew real than a careb .... err blue server ;)

Yeah, my pampered bluebie ass just had my pride hurt for a sec. I know. Lol

But I guess I had the thought in my mind that being as obviously naked and new as I was that I wouldn't be a target. What kind of asshole goes around killing people so obviously new to red?

For a while I was streaming nightly on my channel on Red99 http://www.twitch.tv/jamesfullard recently had a falling out with a member so I moved off on my own with my real life best friend. Have not streamed in a bit but plan to restart soon. People find easy ways to talk down about something they do not understand. You have dicks on blue and the only reason you are not crying about them is they cannot kill you. These low end griefers you nag about now, you out level them in a few hours. Red has some of the nicest people I have ever met in this game and I stand behind Red99 all the way.

Blue could never come close to comparing to Red99 even with the low pop which oneday I hope to help change.

I was honestly surprised how nice the community was. Only played for maybe 3 weeks, never got a kill (was playing an enchanter though), but still had a blast. People were kind for the most part, and more than willing to give a newcomer a helping hand.

[Sidelle]

I'm gonna give red another try soon. Even if it's only to kill that guy. Twinked piece of shit picking on naked girls. :D

[Manticmuse]

I still have a mid 40s druid on red from that time KWSN made an attempt at establishing a foothold on red. For two weeks red was way more fun than blue...the shine wore off though. Interest waned, the guildies who stayed on red left for Red Dawn or Nihilum, half of the KWSN red players seemed like possible rerolls of the same 50 ppl who have been on red forever. Most of my confrontations involved someone hugging guards or zonelines, and I got the sense that to be a serious pvp'r I couldn't just work on my class, I would have to farm and abuse the shit out of clickies. In retrospect it was just starting over that was fun, with an occasional good pvp fight every 15 levels or so.

Got kind of sidetracked there...I guess what I meant to say is that it can be really fun, especially starting out. The rest is just my personal experience and why I stopped playing red.

Sums up red basically.

[Malone88]

As a former bluebie, I just got burned out on the 50+ XP grind, so I gave Red
a try a few months ago.

Pros:
Group XP Bonus is da bomb:
No concerns about min-maxers, so play a hybrid.
Who cares if you die, Xp is so fast you make it up quickly.
Explore zones that are empty on blue because they have lower ZEM.
(I've grouped in SolA, Rathe Mountains, Frontier Mountains, LOiO gobbies on
red, but never on blue because ZEM not "high enough".)
Huge motivation to add players to group and get full group bonus.
Global OOC makes it feel like a community and easy to find groups.

Cons:
Nihilum controls the high end content.
Zones like Unrest, MM, COM -- expect Twink Pkers.
Global OOC can be toxic.
Forum threads can be toxic.

Missed out on the Swish twinkage package, Oh well...:)

Pretty accurate. If you get into the highend game on Blue, you will want to move to Red unless you are okay with spending your evenings sitting on a raid spawn fully buffed hoping it will spawn.

[capco]

I'm starting to consider giving Red a try. I know as a newcomer it will tough (extremely tough) but if I manage to stick it out I can see how the sense of accomplishment would be amazing. I really like the idea of grouping in places that most people never group in because of the added XP bonus.

As I don't really have any friends to start with on Red (maybe I will ask around and see if I can convince some Blueberries), are there certain classes that are best suited for the Red experience?

My main on Blue is a rogue, but I have a feeling they are one of the weakest PvP classes in the game, if not the weakest (or perhaps I'm wrong; just guessing). Maybe I would be better off picking a class that doesn't rely so much on being part of a team?

[Derubael]

I'm gonna give red another try soon. Even if it's only to kill that guy. Twinked piece of shit picking on naked girls. :D

Fortunately, he can only kill you once, and then you can "loot and scoot" - get your body and move on. I need to add a stipulation to LnS for noob zones so that new players don't have to leave the zone when calling LnS, something that can cause problems for starting zones like Halas or Qeynos, that only really have 1 viable low level spot to xp at.

And if it makes you feel better, when Laledorie started up on red she streamed with Onekill. Within an hour they had like 5 people and a high lvl druid bashing their faces in. They took the beating like champs and ended up getting a ton of PP and items for their trouble.

Those uber twinks running around killing noobies are just starved for PvP, so they grab it anywhere they can (even when it's hardly worth hitting auto-attack). Most of the time they are going to kill you once, then grab you by your collar, pull you up, pat you on the back and let you run off to kill goblins. Some will even give you items/advice.

With over 200 players online at peak time, there's no excuse to not try Red! If the low population bothered you before, you will be pleasantly surprised to find that it's easy to grab a group - everyone wants that XP bonus - even if you're a hybrid class, or another class that's traditionally passed over for more focused classes without a penalty. In fact, rolling a hybrid and grouping on Red 99 is a great way to circumvent that awful XP penalty!

If the only reason you haven't logged in is the pop, it's time to give it a try! If it's the community, you'll be surprised at how much it's changed. If it's the mechanics, there has been quite a few overhauls to several systems to improve PvP mechanics on red. Come give it a try and see what happens!

Usually people are using global OOC when they are looking for more, which makes it very easy to get in. I even play at off-peak hours and I regularly can find groups.

Levels 1-20 are the least populated, so those are the probably harder for finding groups.
Once you hit mid-twenties or so, then you start grouping with the same folks and get tells the minute you log on telling you where they are grouping that night.

And like I said before, no min-maxers so hybrids or zones with low ZEM are not really shunned because group bonus xp is so good.

Hell, if I have a good group/duo rolling in a good dungeon I can give a crap how many people are on the server at that moment...Sometimes less is better. I certainly don't miss those LFG times sitting in KC waiting for a spot to open up.

All you nostalgic "shit's classic" folks crack me up. So close-minded to think that maybe the new "shit" is better than classic...

[Tewaz]

Try red and try a class you have never played before. Rangers, Paladins, SK's, and Wizards are all great PVP classes on red. No one will ever mention the exp penalty for hybrids and you have a genuine shot at grabbing an epic since there is no huge bottle neck of waiting 4 years for your guild to rotate, the item to drop, and the 8 people in line in front of you get theres.

[Stormlight]

For what it's worth, I enjoy seeing your recruitment posts. Tenacious and entertaining. :D FFA, random, non-lore pvp isn't for me, but I'm glad there's a place for those who enjoy it.

Hi, this is the Server Chat forum, and these kinds of caustic comments aren't allowed here. I'm glad that you have an opinion on what our servers bandwidth and our CSR staff's time should be spent on, but that's something that we'll decide for ourselves!

As has been stated in the past, these red recruitment threads in Server Chat aren't going anywhere - so long as the message itself isn't offensive, we fully support their existence. It seems, however, that every-time one of these goes up, someone from blue, "the non-toxic server" comes in and makes a post like this - essentially proving there's just as high a percentage raging assholes on blue as there are on red.

Red hits 200+ people every single night, because we've been working really hard to improve the server - taking steps to improve the community, the mechanics, and the accessibility for new players.

Last, but certainly not least, if you don't like reading red recruitment threads.... don't read them! If you can't control your outbursts and start frothing at the mouth and bashing your keyboard when you see them, it's probably best to stay away so you don't catch a forum ban!

I had fun on red for awhile with a couple friends before they stopped playing p1999. I'll say three things:

1) My experience on red was that anyone higher level than me was awesome and helpful totally cool dudes (maybe one or two exceptions). Anyone my level was twinked and scowling at me ready to attack.

2) lack of population, plus the general KOS everything mentality, meant grouping never happened for me outside of my two friends.

3) I learned a lot and got to experience itemquest the likes of which are not possible on Blue. Any drop I sought was uncamped, and it was pretty cool. I learned a lot.

Went to red from blue about 9 months ago and have no regrets. Almost every one of the forum trolls are pretty stand up guys.

There are FAR bigger spergs on blue than there are on red. It's a different beast altogether and I guarantee that once you pvp your first time or see your first competition in zone doing a /who you're not gonna want to go back to that snooze Fest.

theres more to red than just pvp, there are plenty of mechanics that work differently on red (aoe's for example, and friendly fire in general) that make the server actually interesting to play on- you have to think and in some cases change your strategies that you've used on blue for the last x amount of years.. its not just about PK'ing, though that is extremely entertaining too

There are also an enormous number of pve tricks you can employ including:

- perma rooted charmed pets.
- Malo while pet still charmed.
- ToT team members who are oom/fm or bards and getting some free mana.
- used to have clickies to ourselves but it appears that's on blue too.

Lots more I'm not thinking of right now.

The only way to get people over en masse is to set up a ticket barrier and tell them the queue for dragon pixels starts "here" :(

I'm quite surprised the "classic"/start from scratch crowd aren't over on red giving it a try, its a refreshing change from seeing level 3s in full cultural.

I'm confused...is this supposed to show how popular pvp servers were? Cause I count 44283 non pvp players to 3569 pvp (excluding test + chat servers) at a ratio of ~12.4:1, which means red here comprises a higher percentage of the population than the old pvp servers. Classic eq only attracts so many people, and a higher percentage of those are already playing red than back in the day.

I'd consider a red server if there was some sort of dramatic added XP bonus or FV loot rules.

You mean something like this?


Group Experience Bonus -

Project 1999 Red now has a 50% experience bonus from 1-60. In addition to this, for each group member, a 40% experience modifier will be added to all XP the group obtains. This means that with a full 6 member group, you will be provided a 290% bonus to all experience gained, 1-60.

This will provide a faster leveling experience than on blue, but still allow people to take the time to learn their character, meet new friends, and encounter new enemies on their way to level 60. Have your friends roll on red with you, and enjoy the journey!



Granted I suppose 290% isn't that dramatic.

[Swish]

Have your friends roll on red with you, and enjoy the journey!

pras Derubael

[SNIPERS]

I've hit 60 and raided on both servers and i'll tell you this about red...i quit and here's why.

- the whole server isn't toxic, it's the 80/20 rule. 80% of the bs and drama is caused by 20% of the people
- your forced to either choose nihilum vs. the resistance vs. fly solo
- Both leaders, nizzar and jibekn have a history of RMT. I don't like the fact that upper management has had this huge blemish on their resume. Lite isn't a leader anymore, but he's so fixated on hating nihilum and he's just retarded.

the box is small and personal, but becuase it's so small...you're forced to interact in one way or another with these toxic people if your reach endgame..i.e. lite, nizzar, jibekn.

Hi, this is the Server Chat forum, and these kinds of caustic comments aren't allowed here.
...........
It seems, however, that every-time one of these goes up, someone from blue, "the non-toxic server" comes in and makes a post like this - essentially proving there's just as high a percentage raging assholes on blue as there are on red.


high percentage of raging assholes? a bit hypocritical, doncha think Derubael, to get on someones case for "caustic comments" then make one of your own, in the very same post?

[Swish]

Deru has a point though. People look down on the red server, refuse to try it and get mad at the red pop wanting to boost its numbers. Why? What's wrong with offering a hand to those that are interested?

Personally I enjoy the "red is bad" comments - they keep the thread bumped and make me want to try harder to change that perception.

Tewaz I'll be back on Tuesday to make your items, if you'd like to pass on the good karma that'd be great - maybe we could arrange a buff session for players in Crushbone, EC or FoB (and I can port and bind trolls/ogres/erudites/etc if needed)

TL;DR - consider red.gif

[Brut]

Don't think red is that bad or that EQ pvp in general is bad. Problemo is the server populance is a pale disappointing shadow of what it was on launch, and unfortunately no time machine available.

[Derubael]

I don't really consider that a caustic comment. If it had been aimed at someone specific, maybe, but describing a disposition (albeit a poor one) is, in my mind, not crossing the line.

This however, does:

That means there's 84 douchebag idiots online at the same time. Grats record high for the week. Server isn't worth the bandwidth or gm/guide time. Go play wow if you want to pvp ffs. OR And this is completely possible you could shut the fuck up about trying to recruit people that already know how shitty your server is and keep on living in your 84 person glass house telling yourselves you're so bad ass and the 1000+ people on blue are just carebears not even knowing what they're missing. News flash we know what eq pvp is and are not too retarded to think that it's fun.

See the difference? =X.

I don't understand the point of posting these recruitment threads in the Blue Forum.

Wanna point me in the direction of where else the red server could recruit 15 year old elf sim players from?

This is the best place because people believe in P99 over "other" EQ servers, and its confirmed a better attempt at classic here than SOE's progression server attempts.

Sorry about that. By all means just ignore this thread if not interested though.

...Why are there seperate Pvp Server Chat/Guild Discussion/Trade Hub/RnF then?

[Glenzig]

...Why are there seperate Pvp Server Chat/Guild Discussion/Trade Hub/RnF then?

So that they can discuss issues that are specific to pvp. That's different than trying to recruit players to their server. If they started posting junk about their intra-server disputes, then that would be removed no doubt. But they are allowed to post recruitment threads and comment on general server issues in this section of the forums. Derubael and Sirken have already been over this several times.

[Swish]

Perhaps you'll be interested in pvp teams further down the line? Why not get a good feel for basic pvp mechanics and combat now?

Think about it ;)

[SenoraRaton]

I demand EQUALITY for all then! The Red server has had its red privilege for far too long, special RED only forums are an atrocity. Where is the blue only forum, where we may truly seek refuge from the scourge that is the red server?

Send a PM if you need anything made. Plat reserves low so unable to do anymore nice freebies, but things with gold bars/cheap gems obviously still doable (cha bracers/MR bracers etc).

I'd guess anyone who can make it into the 20s on their first charactee will be able to save some plat...or of course there are those who trade their red plat for blue, so thats an idea too :)

I give what I can! If someone were to sponsor helping new players get some basic MR/stat gear I'm sure that would build a player base that'll have the will to try pvp but also to feel invested and stay.

...which is to say that a lot of blue players are used to having full Sol Ro temple armor, fancy robes and all sparkly at level 4-5, and don't want to start fully naked.

Not much I can do about weapons, robes, and that kind of thing but there was a red player in another thread offering to help in that aspect. You want bling tho? I can do it...and that is thanks to an investment by a certain red wizard I leveled with who invested in me when I first went to red. In true EQ spirit, you keep the karmic wheel turning :)

Well on that kind of point, its true that you won't last long on red without some persistence.

People can be persistent with blue, even poopsock a mob for 8-16 hours, but some don't like the idea of having to do a 5-10 minute corpse run because of pvp. It's quite odd to me.

Your argument for Red is that we can turn the game off when we aren't sitting at the computer?

Because the argument for Blue was that standing up and going to the bathroom/doing some quick chores did not involve the extra steps of finding a hiding place or camping out.

If you think blue is this non-toxic environment that won't burn you out.......

Come join us if you want to see raid mobs and have a Velious launch that isn't north ro/ice clad crashing with entitlement fights and 1500+ (plus every one of their alts) portal teeth lines

There is also this thing called "raid time" that isn't 10 hours before a mob pops at some random hour of the work day. We start at an expected time without tracking for 20 hours. Its like real EQ was. Blue holds itself to be this bastion of integrity and kindness. Why weren't mobs just put into a calendar rotation? And if a guild failed to show up at the designated spawn time (or within an hour) the next guild got it? Answer! Easy one I have it! Blue is extremely toxic! No one has any real interest of community except for promoting themselves or twisting rules to put themselves ahead.... and if you think the RL attacks were bad on red!? Good God the things I have seen on blue at times. DISCLAIMER: There are shitty people on the internet! Red server or blue server! It matters not!

BOTH servers need to clean up their act. Red is no different than blue.

There is an entire thread stickied and dedicated to scamming on the blue trade forums. NUFF SAID.

Because I'm medding. Or I'm waiting for Hadden. Or I had a phonecall. Or I wanted to go stand in the backyard for a minute. Or I wanted to get my /played up.

Not having to camp out and log back in is a convenience that is less available on red. If I can just afk, my tells will be waiting for me when I get back. Or messages from guild or from the zone. I don't have to resummon my pet. I don't have to look at the loading screen for a few seconds.

Blue allows safer AFKs than red does, which is convenient. It increases the amount of time that I am playing the game when I am sitting at my computer because I'm spending less time camping/relogging/running to a safe spot to hide.

It's not a HUGE advantage but it certainly isn't trivial.

You can also call loot and scoot, so you can't get corpse camped. You die, nothing really happens, and you can get your stuff and continue to play.

Made a new char - logged in - killing first mob I see.

Some guy comes at me and slaughters me - fair enough.

Loot my corpse and attack another mob. Same guy killed me again. 3 times within 10 minutes...he was heavily twinked.

Finally I just respawn, log off, delete char.

I imagine this is what happens when two blue people encounter each other in the early levels of red :P

Ill bet that person who found you a couple times just raged quit after an AC camp dispute or bard monopolizing his merbs in OT :P

I gave Red a try a long while back during the time that the Teams server was announced as coming 'soon'. Same experience as the poster a bit above. I started in Faydwer so I knew better than to try to level in Gfay, and headed for butcherblock. Got bombed repeatedly after cresting level 6 from bone chip turn ins by a twink druid with high HP / Mana gear. Called loot and scoot, logged off, took a break, returned, and headed to Steamfont to continue leveling.

Within 30 minutes I was getting bombed by the same druid again. I had Anon running so I was at a loss at what I was doing wrong. Logged off, deleted, and gave the guy what he wanted. He wanted me gone, so I was gone.

For the folks beating a dead horse with the "join Red" threads, I pose you the following question.

If Everquest with PvP was the BEST way to play the game, wouldn't Red have 1200+ players in the evening, and blue have 200 instead? If I wanted a fantasy game with PvP I'd be playing DAoC. EQ was never meant for it.

I'm giving Red a try right now. I'm only a Level 2 Pally at the moment, but so far, of the few players I've bumped into, none of them have bothered me.

I can see this server being fun as long as you don't go around trying to make enemies. Things will be what they will,.

I think he is referring to the fact that chocolate is generally deemed "poisonous" for dogs consumption. Though I had a dog that ate several full bars and lived quite long. Her stomach may have been made of steel though.

Funny metaphor though. Giving people something toxic...

milk chocolate is relatively harmless to dogs and will most likely just make them sick, the darker the chocolate and the more coco in it will kill them especially bakers chocolate...
