The thing about Blue is, it doesn't need a "Try Blue" advertising thread. Think of it as comparing sex and State Farm. Blue is like sex: people are going to find it and participate without anyone having to do any work to get them to because sex/Blue is fun. But Red is like State Farm: no one wants to switch insurances or play on a server full of social malcontents, so it takes a whole lot of advertising to get people to try it.

Having 100 people doesn't translate to fun: See PVP that is so brokenly unbalanced.

I guess it all depends on each persons version of fun. Some play to just log in & have fun in whatever way they wish for X amount of time.

[heartbrand]

Having 100 people doesn't translate to fun: See PVP that is so brokenly unbalanced.

First, prime time pop is ~200. Second, it depends why you play. The raid scene is pretty much one guild at the moment with occasional fun skirmishes. It seems based on the amount of bitching on the blue boards in regards to raiding, that many people wish they could raid more mobs, more often, and get more pixels. This desire can be satisfied via Red99. Obviously those who play Blue for the EC Tunnel trading game and the "nostalgia" feel of grouping @ orc 3 in EC, won't find Red99 the right server for them. But I have to imagine there are power-gamer types on Blue who want to be the first to kill Vulak / AoW, etc., get big loot, and not wait 3 years to get it. For those people, Red99 is where they should be.

There are plenty of people raiding with me right now who are converts from Blue, so while you personally may not be interested, it has attracted people.

[feanan]

Its just slightly amusing listening to red people make fun of blue players as carebears...as they try and entice people over to their server with 300% exp bonus, free, gear, and no waiting for raid mobs.

But yeah, red hardcore!

[heartbrand]

I leveled to 60 with zero exp bonus with constant pvp and where you lost 1-2% exp every time you died in PVP, including in levels such as 59 where it can take an hour + to grind that back. I'm not sure what you're talking about with free gear unless you mean some friendly hand outs, something easily obtainable on blue. And I'm not sure how not having to poop sock mobs is "carebear", we fight for the mobs.

Isn't there just one guild on red that gets all the kills. So there isn't reallt fighting. Just a big zerg force?

[heartbrand]

There's one big guild and a smaller guild. The smaller guild just contests VP at the moment. That could easily change as the raid scene is always evolving. I still believe Red99 is the perfect place for a mid-range PvE guild on blue99 [whatever class that is] struggling to reach the next class here. While PvP might not be fun to many people due to EQ being in an unbalanced PvP game, most raid PvP encounters can be won solely based on numbers and positioning. With the new Play Nice Policy that allows you to call Loot and Scoot, no one can sit on your corpse and you suffer really zero long term damage from losing a fight.

[Whirled]

Yes, but, 4 out of 5 young doctors surveyed prescribe BLUE server.

Tried playing on blue , got to level 10 and went to Blackburrow. Every gnoll had a level 60 and a fungi twink parked at its spawn point. I killed two gnolls and looted one tooth. I was immediately flooded with tells informing me that I did not have the proper clearance to kill gnolls. That I would have to join one of the guilds that were currently on the rotation and wait my turn for teeth. Before I could even send a reply 6 lawyers spawned and filed camp dispute papers against me. True story.

i for one, found the people in BB collecting gnoll fangs when I first came to p99 - to be exactly what I was wishing the server would be when I logged on.

An overcrowded BB was what made classic eq classic.

Its a shame that its not overcrowded anymore.. the only way to be efficient in killing all the gnolls because the zone is empty is to be a twink and solo.

Nerfing gnollfangs imo was a mistake. But I'm not in charge :)

Yeah, classic was awesome the way it punished players foolish enough to play human/erudite/barbarian without either a voodoo video card or enough cash to have a second box on the side sniffing packets to help you cheat. :rolleyes:

[HippoNipple]

So because of this thread I decided to give blue a try. I have seen several threads of blue people desperate for population and thought I could be a valued member of their community.

The community was terrible and really changed my opinion of the game. When I tried doing the old dungeons I was used to playing back on live I was ostracized by other players in the zone.

I was told to F off because I was a hybrid and I didn't have a fungi tunic in CB.

When I went to Unrest there was a group of 3 guys taking all the trash mobs in a PL group, they called me a newbie scum and said I couldn't join with them because I wasn't leet enough. I sat along one of the walls along with 20 other people in my situation waiting to try to peel off a random beetle for some experience.

I was forced to go out on my own and fight light blues in a remote location even though there was this large population because of my class and poor gear. I couldn't do group content to get gear so I had to solo mobs and sell what I could to finally raise 200pp. I was told to go to EC to purchase gear so I made the long boat ride over.

Once I was there I wasn't able to purchase any gear because the prices were so inflated. Something to do with exploits and RMT causing insane inflation to the servers economy so I couldn't buy anything.

I found someone that was willing to help me by answering some questions. I wanted to know that there was a light at the end of the tunnel. He was a level 60 mage, so I figured he had some good experience with end game and might give me some motivation to keep going.

Long story short he said it took him 3 months to get into his guild. I don't want to name the guild because I don't want to put anyone specific down. He said for him to earn DKP and be allowed to stay in the guild he has to duck cast CoH for 2-6 hours straight once a week for his shift. If he misses one of his shifts he is docked dkp and his guild would probably lose their place in line for mobs. I asked him how the competition was and why people were just waiting in lines and he explained to me that the end game is basically like this. You are forced to log in and stay put until a mob appears and then you attack it. This can go on for hours.

I'm glad many of you have found a place that you enjoy but it just isn't for me. Thanks for reaching out and trying to recruit though. It just so happens it was pretty good timing for the WoW expansion to come out and it is my understanding they have a better system to provide more challenging PvE, a large population and even allow for PvP on their game.

After my experience on blue it is the only alternative for me. If only there was a way to take the game of Everquest and introduce a system to compete for content so things were fair, fun and competitive. It sounds like a dream, if only it was a reality. Take care everyone and good luck.
