My outlook on P99 red

[VelleK]

This is so far from EQ 99 its not even close, I get the general population is lower that's fine but when u make a Iskar don't even think of the "LONG HAUL" of exp ur gonna miss out on. Look towards soloing forever cause no one but MULTI BOXERS are around this game is a utter waste of time I tried and tried and there was noway to progress I just kept dying BUT according to other people I should make a mainland character well what the hell I want to play a Iskar SK like I did in on live back in 99.

The prices of red is extremely to high, I have not SEEN ONE not ONE boss spawn in Kurns tower I was there 3days straight 10hours a day all weekend hounding the spawns not one poped so ether their not spawning or someone glitched them or something.

I don't think the Iskar's have so much vs them its not even funny not only being the most hated, No main land, No groups, negative exp, its just wow... only people who play them have been piggy backed or multi boxed which is not 99..

Im sorry but I will have to uninstall and bid my farewells and stream a different game and server though the place in my heart for 99 is for the best I just don't see it anytime soon. 3years running and barley toping 1k people online...

the only part of this vitriol that's true is that it's difficult to level away from not only the mainland but from GFay itself.

7ish Months ago I strayed from blue onto red and foudn it to be quite the opposite.
Bitches love iksar and there were almost always people to group with.

His complaints are ridiculous though because red 99 is not classic eq, if he wants the slow grind he should get back on Blue. Red is classic eq + a bunch of fluff to attract new players because the server on it's own is not good enough to do so (at least 1/3 of the population are shitheads that will camp you in their fungus while you're still wearing cloth and swinging rusty's)

[SamwiseRed]

leveled several iksars to 45+ always groups in FoB, kurns, WW, FM. OP must play during euro hours or just makin shit up.

[Swish]

Kegz sends his regards and spam emails to you, OP

[VelleK]

Not sure who Marcus is but is not me, As for it yes I am on Red. And I have been in 1 group total. Not many Iskar's to see in this area so all the Iskar's your speaking of maybe were maybe popular at one time but the place is a damn deadzone I went to lake, ww, fob, kurns all day just to make sure to have a good laugh at some of the comments here. and sure enough I seen ONE person in kurns and guess what. there was a multi box behind him druid lol...

Once I said hi the person ported out and then the multi box went shortly afterwords. So yah.... I would love to get killed on the pvp server honestly then at least it feels like a pvp server right now I see no action kinda is lame.

I can count on one hand the twinks that PK consistently on red. Other than those...not much griefing goes on.

1. Mesrine - deleveled rogue that sometimes PK's in CB and Unrest
2. Imawizard - deleveled wizzie that PK's sometimes in CB
3. Survival - Super-twinked ranger in CB and GFay...but if you pay him he'll pretty much leave you alone. His <Faydark Taxman> guild roleplays, lol

That's all I can think of off-hand. 3. Three players that consistently PK. There's one or two that hang around MM for the 20's-30's crowd and a couple that gank in CoM.

NONE of them stay logged on long because they're ADD.

Right right, you know of every single twinked pk'er that graces the server. Quite believable, except you missed about the fifty of them I've encountered in

Greater Faydark, Crushbone, Mistmoore, Unrest, Field of Bone, Guk
and many zones I'm missing, but AKA: all the most popular leveling spots and newbie areas.

And it doesnt matter how many or few there are when one of them can easily wipe out an entire group of non twinked players. Hell, even moderately twinked as my monk was (fully geared, not the best stuff; robe of living fungus, master wu's trance sticks ETC) with a healer/buffer in group we could not kill this one particular monk that would show up every hour or so and ruin our group xp. fact is that they are pretty consistent, it seemed to me like they just left twink pkers camped in certain zones and would just do rounds because you will see some come around like clockwork.

[Bodybagger]

OP is trolling... as for twinks on red, they are a problem sometimes, but less frequently than powerlevelers/overcamped zones on blue.... so grain of salt. It is within their right to do. I don't see the fun in it, but whatever. I really don't see the fun in not only killing newbs but coining them... at least there isn't item loot, and you don't lose xp. So all in all it's less bad than dying to a train.

They make cycles because they are cowards who want to rack up leaderboard kills without the risk of true pvp and getting contested by another twink showing up to counter grief them or a group getting organized and lynching them like the turds they are. That is why they hop off after they wipe a group or two. Once everyone is prepared for them, has pvp spells out, has see invis on everyone, etc. they don't stand as much a chance of rushing in mid combat and systematically raping everyone one by one before they realize what has happened.

Good news is if you just stick to it, you can quickly out level them and once you are 40+ twinks become more of a non factor... though an epic rogue will almost always drop an unsuspecting pure caster who is recovering form a fight... such is life.

You're a moron. Grief kills are 95% of the kills that happen. The majority of the leaderboard is twink grievers. You neglected Bakingsoda (#6) with 120 kills, almost exclusively in crushbone, who has 250k+ in gear. Silvers has 200 kills at MM. We almost killed him the other day with a bunch of scrubs. Within 5 minutes he brought 2 more twinks to PVP until we had to plug. The red crew tries to recruit players to their server from blue, only to grief them to try to show off their very small epeen. It's a joke.

With two characters under level 37, I've barely ever played an hour straight without getting attacked. Which I don't mind, given its a PVP server. But it's always being attacked for no reason, by people with full MR gear that are full on twinked. The inbreds on red make the blue endgame players look like saints. Yall enjoy your garbage can

I thought you ragequit three days ago, did things get better?

Think maybe you're exaggerating the problem power levellers pose int he same way I'm exaggerating the twink PK problem. Since I stopped playing Red I've gone back to blue and started at lv1 and have not been inconvenienced by a pl'er yet.

Stop going to Unrest and MM, its not hard... or is it?

[Wwoe]

Pretty much every negative thing said about Red on this forum is true. If you feel like soloing 90% of the time and getting PK'd by super twinked monks that can kill an entire group, while people talk about random nonsense in server wide chat. Then you will love Red..

[Thyrm]

1) remove neck tattoo
2) get a job
3) now that you have a job, play during evening prime-time hours when there's actually people online
4) get a group
5) play better

[Flexin]

Man played the same char on red for 8 months, never had a problem with twinks, never had a problem with getting griefed. Everyone is actually ridiculously helpful, people give away things and PL constantly.

Just because OOC isn't littered with LFG spams doesn't mean you can't go out of your way to make a group.

Sorry your experience was a bit worse, 55-17 and in near rags, should probably just try to get better at the game.

[Swish]

People just upset because they can't gear up in the tunnel. A bit of added difficulty and some can't handle it/tap out.

I tried red last night. Shit was awesome.


I was running around killing gnolls when a supertwink iksar monk ran up, watched me fighting for a moment, and then asked "hey, do you want me to leave the top floor up for you?" lizard bro could have killed me, but in stead he offered to share merbs.


After that, i ran out into qenos hills, snuck up on a necro/monk duo and almost killed the necro. had to dip out because i was naked and outnumbered, but dat rush. No wonder the retards on red are so loyal to red.

[bouncerr 2.0]

after being spoiled by red's xp rate no way i could come back to blue xp.. mind numbing slow and the raid scene is shit.. camp any mobs you want without waiting in line for it too
