If you want to raid casually, red is better for you

[Susvain2]

On red we have no variance, no 16 hour windows. There is no waiting a year for your epic, or waiting two years for VP loot. Over in <Holocaust> we have a lvl 58 wizard with his epic, Phara Dar Robe/Earring. He's not even level 60 yet!

All the new players get loot over on red, there. in <Holocaust> there is no app process, no website to apply too. Join up 46+ and raid with all nice and helpful pals and get loot right away.

If ya want to be a casual raider, red is the best choce, come on over, we'll help ya get started

I have two lvl 55s in two months...you get to level 40 in like three days....full group bonus ya get 4-6% a kill

[Ravager]

Who needs EZ server?

[Susvain2]

How many times have you leveld up on blue? On a15 year old emulator, where ya got a bunchof lv l60s already, do you really need to do the grind again on every single alt? Do you feel legitimized because you killed 500000000000000000000 Goblins insead of 5000000000? It's okay to have quick leveling, it doesn't make you any worse at the game

[Ravager]

I didn't imply it made you worse. It just sounds boring is all. The grind is the point of classic EQ.

[Lunababy]

enjoy your raid while people come kill you and grief you

hes right there is very little pvp and you get to level super fast join an enormous sized guild with zero standards and raid on a schedule with zero competition or variance

its a casual raiders dream

in the past 24 hours on red, there have been well over 300 pvp kills

at least 60 of them were in guild v guild pvp over raid targets

how many were Sirken DTing people lol?

enjoy your raid while people come kill you and grief you

Colgate has a lot of posts.

[Rangerest]

all posts count in red forums unlike blue where people with 5,000+ RNF posts never get added

[Susvain2]

Everyone who tries red, who came from blue, talks about how they could never get that adrenaline rush you get from PvP on the blue server. No matter what they do. The other day I was walking through LFay on an alt, i got attacked by two noobs, i chased them out and didnt kill either of them. This little event was more fun than anything i've done on blue in 6months.

[Susvain2]

I know how alot of my fellow bluebies feel. You are intrigued by red, but you think to yourself "hmm, i've put in a ridiculous amount of time on blue and leveled many toons and farmed so much, I can't start over, itll all be for nothing".

You just need to get over that. It doesn't mean everything was for nothing on blue. You can make the change now and start enjoying the game again. Do you really want to apply to a guild on blue for 2 months and wait 2 years to get the best Kunark loot? Do you want to wait a year for your epic? Do you want to "earn" your loot by staring at a mobs spawn point for 15 hours at a time?

Come have fun on red and enjoy everquest again.

I know you are a pathetic TMOtroll, but just saying...

If you have two level 55s in two months on Red, you either get PLed, transferred a lot of money from blue, or you play far too much Everquest. Not casual. XP bonus is nice, but not absurd, especially if you factor in low population (actually finding groups), griefers, etc.

[Rangerest]

no it's definitely absurd

[Emile]

No variance, no long windows, no waiting in line for epic, no infinite wait for vp loot. Sounds great. But the trade off is that you have to play with red players.

hes right there is very little pvp

Sirken alone scored 19 kills yesterday, tune in at http://r99pvp.com before making these wild accusations.

Plenty of pvp, come on down.

Clearly you havent tried a full group on red, or possibly play outside of prime times. Constant groups during the day time, or you can make your own. You can get from 1-15 in a day soloing gnoll fangs in rags. Full group bonus is good enough to take my troll SK from 26-40 in unrest in one day as well. Level 59 hell level? 2 hate raids. Enjoy spending a month getting to 30 though.

So when they gonna add the 'red buff' command?

Maybe you are just bad at this game. Going from levels 20-40 is very fast on red. With a full group in Mistmoore you get 4-6% exp a kill. I have a 54 ogre sk, and 55 dwarf rogue in two months. And i haven't exped in two weeks. I've transferred over about 50k from blue, so about 17k worth of items on red.

I am not trolling anything. I play with a handful of BDA members/officers and they agree and endorse everything i've posted in this thread. They want the same things as me, for their blue friends to acknowledge and accept how fun and even better red is, compared toblue

[quido]

leveling up on red is super easy even with PvP

[Susvain2]

I'm not saying i'm casual. I am hardcore.

But that doesn't mean I am wrong. On red you get to raid everthing with no variance. There is a set raid time for each target. There is no formal dkp system, the new people get loot from the start. The raids are quicker because there is a scheduled time. There is no rotation so there is more loot and you will get your epic faster on red than ya would on blue.

[Susvain2]

No variance, no long windows, no waiting in line for epic, no infinite wait for vp loot. Sounds great. But the trade off is that you have to play with red players.

My guess is you haven't experienced it first hand. Of course there are some bozos, but you act like there aren't any bozo's on blue. Honestly the people on red are genuinely friendlier and more helpful than your average blue player. Most people on red want to improve the population and player base. There is no hybrid discrimination on red. There isn't elitism for groups either, people just wan't to fill up the groups with anyone to get the exp bonus. It makes things interesting again. And on red, every item has a use or a different use than blue. Every item is used here, resists take on a whole new meaning on red. No items go to waist here.

[Barkingturtle]

No items go to waist here.

Belt slot has been disabled on Red. Gotta work to keep yo' pants up.

I semi raided last night. I wasn't part of any group but I saw a white dragon die and that was pcool since I don't get to see that every time I log in. Was funny to be feared for a while but in all my wizgoofiness I survived to tell the tale.
Congrats to all!

P.S. = this happened all on BLUE.

I have level 33 and 40 red chars, but it took more than a few days for sure. Every single Mm group I've had so far got grieved out of zone before too long. Maybe it's just bad luck :shrug:

[maskedmelon]

Red is for type "O" blood types and those are the players they really want to recruit for challenge. Griefers are type "O" who lack power, type "A" who hate the world, type "B" who are bored, or type "AB" who do not need an excuse to engage in unusual behavior. In my experience griefers are generally a minority, while the rest of the players just enjoy a good fight (read: are typ "O", and/or male). The problem is that on open pvp servers the griefers are what limit the population. If red wants more players grief the griefers ^^

[Susvain2]

There are not many griefers on red. You guys are reaching for excuses to find reasons to deny yourself from having fun.

My first toon is my 54 ogre sk. I saw no twink griefers until I was level 32 in Mistmoore. This rogue twink who killed my group and after killing us all once he cracked a few jokes and let us move on with no interference. That was all the griefing I saw on this toon.

My second toon my 56 rogue. I had a lvl 9 shaman fungi griefing twink in Crushbone. She was a beast and murdered many noobies. But ya out level her pvp range in a half hour or so. You can go from 9>14 in under an hour easy and then she is harmless. The next griefer was a lvl 26 or so troll sk fungi twink in MM. He wasn't good enough to kill anyone in our group because we had heals. The next griefer I met was an uber lvl 30 ogre warrior in Mistmoore, and he attacked our group BUT we had defeated him. It was an epic accomplishment. It was great for moral and bonding friendship with the people in thegroup. I still have friends from that night.

Those are all the griefers i experienced leveling up. Honestly, the main mindset leveling up is to not even engage each other in pvp because everyone just wants to exp and get 50+ and pvp then, or raid.

[curtischoy]

I've only played a bit on red and it isn't bad. Lvl 19 cleric. Took me maybe 2 hrs to solo to lvl 5 and then maybe 6 hours to group to lvl 19 (this time is including downtime for deaths, and people including myself running back to town to get spells and train skills). I've gotten pked twice in that time by twinks rushing our group when we had multiple mobs in camp. It was not aggravating, just slightly annoying.

Getting a group on red is actually much easier than on blue even with the low server pop. Global ooc makes it much easier and the fact that with each addition to your group you get so much more exp people don't really care that much about group make up. So pretty much any group will take you as long as you are within level range to get exp.

I still enjoy blue more as I never liked pvp on EQ cuz it was never balanced for it. Red to me is simply blue on easy mode, and that is not a bad thing.

[Bristlebard]

Quite depressed that no one appreciated my Scarface pic. I thought it really captured the essence of the red server.

[Emile]

Of course there are some bozos,

A quick scroll through the red forums shows what an understatement that is. Red sounds fun, but it's populated by a pack of manchildren climbing all over each other to see who can be the biggest troll. It's annoying and that's why no one wants to play with you people.

You guys need to take your head out of your rears. Red has a very vocal minority who post on these forums. There are lots of awesome people that play there that you've never seen post on the forums.

I don't really care for EQ PVP but if wouldn't mind it if it meant I had a chance to raid. I would probably just sit and let people kill me if they want to PVP. Whatever. Log off and get my corpse latter.

How can I be sure that I'm guaranteed chance at raid loot?

[Faywind]

What are the best PVP classes?

depends on the type of PVP you want to do. if you want to be a roaming solo ganker roll a wizard or a druid.
