No really, I do sometimes, then I look at the population and think, hmm how am I going to make friends HA. Not so concerned about being killed, it's a pvp server it is bound to happen. Might be nice to do content I've never been able to do on blue, but it doesn't seem like a classic EQ experience when no one is around, might as well play p2002. Just thinking out loud. Bored at work.

Don't worry about the pvp, it is almost non-existant until the higher levels.

The early levels are the hardest in terms of grouping, but after that you will find enough people that group regularly and everything is open.

That plus you can pretty much go anywhere anytime. The PvP makes it interesting.

Pick any class you feel comfortable soloing with until level 30+. It will be hard to find groups on your first char until you get to at least 30. With your second char you can PL with gear or a friend on a group dependent class pretty quickly.

Enchanter would be a great first choice if you can stomach soloing those first few levels. There are a lot of twinks you could duo with down the road and raiding guilds also welcome Enchanters. It would also be pretty easy to find some people to help you out with CHA starter gear too so you can start charming asap.

Make whatever you want and find a group of pals to play with, server is actually p fun lately if you join a crew to roll around with. Options are apex, thunderdome or epidemic.

To be honest, i might actually do an enchanter again. At least i know exactly how to play my class and CHA gear for an enchanter is hella cheap..

red is a great way to say goodbye to the p99 project.

You're not going to want to go back to blue because of blue names, lines and rule lawyers but you'll hopefully come to the same conclusion most of th server has already in that it's dead and not worth investing significant time into it. Have your fun and get out.

If you're on drugs this can be the best or worst thing to happen to you depending on your outlook and prognosis.

Hope that helps

Ps: you're probably an idiot

play on blue till they give this a merciful reset to classic/vanilla (if that ever happens)

the metagame on a 60 pop velious box is seeing how many empty sprawling zones you can pass through before finding another player

El Camacho

Enchanter can play a little different on red as area spells can also effect your group.

and most of the server runs around with 150+ magic resist.

Join a guild Marine. Join Thunderdome, you won't have to wander through zones to find people you can just ask where everyone is at and what they are doing. Play a rogue or wizard, or a cleric or something if you wanna definitely contribute but honestly playing whatever makes you happy is the best bet. People will work with it.

Rogues do suck at solo, but you can often find crews or groups to make your way to 60. Always good dps.

He even thinks about joining Thunderdome I'll snap his neck like a twig

The more he tries to do the more ass beating me and my best dawgs are gonna give him.

Best bet for you bigtime is to use drugs, stay level 1 and sit in OOC.

yea its awesome, but eventually youll be 50+ and forced to join a guild and group with the people who have been here since day 1

and when you see how toxic and socially awkward they all are you will see why it peaks at 100 pop.

This server is home to some of the biggest weirdos and degenerates on the internet

This is a 17 year old game not real life grow up. You can not listen to them fake the funk and use them for geat up it's called business. Can't learn that at your grannies pops. Also have the people are just trolling to get a good laugh. Once again grow up.

It is funny thinking about laying strong roots for when people come back to red. But realistically if it's level 60 with no players all you get on red is the possibility of being trained. Who wants that? Sad stories

I mean depending on how deep your pockets are. I'm just getting to the point where I can afford high resist gear on top of what I have. Not a bad idea to have a few slots interchangeable with resist gear & normal gear (i.e. froggy crown in your back pocket) but my theory is just get the best item you can for that particular slot.
