Is Red99 Dead?

[I Felt Nostalgic]

Every time I log on nobody even answers OOC. Dead server?

[enjchanter]

Im playing there most nights!

[Imago]

What time are you logging in?

[heartbrand]

No, now that Chardok 2.0 came out we have been seeing daily pop hover around 600 to 700.

[Irulan]

I always get a rise out of OOC. Try some Chuck Norris jokes.

[Ignight]

Trust factor is real low on R99. Most people assume new toons are just a recycled player. I don't answer /ooc because I turned it off.

[ducktv]

Server is dead

[Madbad]

sadly

[White_knight]

It's dead in terms of fun personalities and PvP.

The last few nights/weekend I played seems like theres quite a few no-name new players. But yah cassified as dead for sure.

/ooc is dead - the new players just dont get ooc banter at all.

[funnland]

Depends on your definition of dead.

It's basically a bunch of random people who stumble onto the server (Sanctuary), and what is left of Apex (80% of the core members either quit, or went to RoZ).

[I Felt Nostalgic]

Sad times...

[coderedirecthit]

Suffering a low spell of self-confidence and self-love OP logs on to R99 for some warm elf-bro attention to boost e-mood.

Promptly ignored by weathered and cynical R99 veterans.

Concludes server dead.

[White_knight]

^which idiot apex member is this logging in an anon forum account

Server has been dead since 2016.

[I Felt Nostalgic]

I looked forward to killing Gnomes expecially...

[aaezil]

More than dead needs wipe very badly

[Quiet]

No, now that Chardok 2.0 came out we have been seeing daily pop hover around 600 to 700.

Would return to lead the Chardok defense force. Summon the Gongshow.


Quiet - Leader of the ToV Defense Force.

[I Felt Nostalgic]

I would be into playing on Red if there were people to play with. :(

[Ignight]

OP sounds like a few long term crybabies from these forums.

[SteppinnRazor]

>parked faction abashi necro in chardok cause' 2.0

>checked daily for pvp

>found no pvp

>found sanctuary group in there, low 50s tho

>couldnt attack them, trained them instead

>sanctuary dude made emotional forum post about it

>wipe pls

[derpcake2]

[Tassador]

> didn't invest time

Server is alive and well with plenty of successful people playing emu 60 pop on Sunday :)

[White_knight]

> didn't invest time

> won

"Everyone who quit red99 lost" current Red99 player philosophy.

[Smedy]

Every time I log on nobody even answers OOC. Dead server?

its been dead for years, unless there is a wipe i'd stay away. There are 6 times more aons than players on this server.

[Swish2]

If it's so dead, why is everyone coming back to check the forums?

Tassador 3 years quit and still posting... yikes. Let it go for real if you're actually gone.

Server is complete and total shit. Its dead.

[Dillusional]

That server has been dead since two weeks after launch.

[I Felt Nostalgic]

I made an Iksar Monk, leveled to 12 solo then went into Kurn's Tower to find it completely empty. Red99 confirmed dead.

totally worth posting. the sensitivity level is at a all time high. some here will say they ignore you but actually read all your posts and get mad.

Well then...

[Imago]

I disagree - these were taken in the last 24 hours -

[White_knight]

Rofl 24 hours for 3 yt ( considering this is an extreme example we will add a 50% reduction factor)

Okay lets math this baby up.

24hrs/3x.5 yt = 16hrs per yt on average

THRIVING.

[Imago]

Rofl 24 hours for 3 yt

Idiot. These are my YTs, not all of them. You wouldn't know, since you don't have the cojones to log in and see for yourself.

When you do, let me know. My boots need a good shining with the blood of the innocent.

[ducktv]

Lol pathetic. Server is trash and dead.

Thats more kills then imago got in 6 months playing in empire, says a lot about the 40 people still playing here

[kotton05]

Cojones to log in lol. Imago you’re a body bag. Farming sanctuary in cloth while in ToV gear doesn’t make you good.

Shits dead

[Imago]

Farming sanctuary

Pretty sure cats like Filpox and Zaro were some of the only pals you had left on the box when you cucked off to RoZ. I'll send them your regards.

[woodlone]

all these people talking shit, but can't stay off the red99 forums....or quit talking about it.

LOL love it when 7 year old accounts pop up 2 to post.

It's like which red99 player us boxing this old forum account of theirs to try validate their point.

An educated guess would be that it's Imago's.

If only they wiped red99 then it would be 135+116+the 200 who dont play.

A server wipe doesn't unban accounts.

[Imago]

RoZ #s are counting boxes. So that’s 58 at best. Probably 40-45

[White_knight]

...

You might want to rethink this statement.


Hint: (server wipe = everyone starts from scratch, and accounts take a whole 2 minutes to make)

Dont pretend atleast 1/3 of red99 isnt boxes now Mr It Takes Balls To Login Into a Dead Server.

[Ignight]

Hint: (server wipe = everyone starts from scratch, and accounts take a whole 2 minutes to make)


Oh, now I understand. We're talking about a bunch of people who are just too scared to login unless they wipe the current active players. Cuz they would lose.

[Tassador]

Scared to login to everquest emulation. If you’re north of 20 and employeed you should be petrified to login into eq emulation. Unless mental aids.

[White_knight]

Oh, now I understand. We're talking about a bunch of people who are just too scared to login unless they wipe the current active players. Cuz they would lose.

Yes, all 300+ players that don't play on red, some with with 2-3-4 NToV geared toons or access to atleast one are too scared to login because they would lose to the current players.

ROFL

Hint:

Literally the worse players from before are considered the best players now.

Have you ever thought that people dont play because they arent insane enough to keep collecting gear on toons that just collect dust?

Anyone NOT logging into Red99 are the true winners.

*logs into Blue*

Tassador quit 3+ years ago, still posting here is what I'd define as

Make one of those 2 minute new accounts you were talking about and play, why do you need to wipe everyone else?

[I Felt Nostalgic]

Give me a fungi tunic and I will play on your Red99. If you decline then that just proves that it really is dead.

[Ignight]

Wait, because I won't give a fungi the server is dead? How about you go get your own fungi? You certainly can.

[ducktv]

Fighting over phara dar is fun. Fighting over the 50th phara dar is fun. Fighting over the 150th phara dar is pretty fun to, but not as fun as the 50th phara dar. Fighting over phara dar is less and less fun the more times its been fought over. The 250th phara dar was hardly worth logging in for, the 300th not at all.

Ignight has never really had to fight for anything despite playing on a PVP server. He tried to fight for stuff on zek but he lost and went back to red99. He camps nostalgics and talks to old friends, theres no need to fight for those things because no one cares about savants caps or wus trance sticks. He also has no friends. What a little bitch, lol.

[Tassador]

Swish thinks you need to play to post. 22k posts still got a 2 by your name. Sorry you losr

[I Felt Nostalgic]

Yes.

I tried to get my own fungi from you.

Obviously, I cannot because you won't give me one.

[Swish2]

Just a sign that you can't let go and probably do log in sometimes. Can't shake it eh? ;)

I log in sometimes, once every two or three months. The server is complete dogshit and the only people still playing are retarded. Get fucked.

[White_knight]

Love it how people say this server isnt dead.

Facts: it's an EverQuest server with 100 players (at peak only, usually averaging 30-50 at other times) and an active boxer community of ~1/3 of that value.

That is about as dead as it gets...and if you think otherwise than you're just an idiot.

But but but...

*insert antedoctal story about how I startrd on red and can log in to any camp I want*

Ya no shit Einstein that's because no one players this forsaken server.

You can box on Red? I wouldn't mind be able to dual box a Monk and Shaman at least.

Seriously though.... If I were to play on Red, is there a class that is highly sought after in any active guilds?

he also eats diapers out of dumpsters and he’s french lol


gross

[Tradesonred]

lol i just read the reddit stuff, i guess i was a non-factor after all. What a shitshow. Wouldnt have wasted time trying to stop sirken from making the pop take a nosedive before velious if i had known, not suspected, staff just didnt care.

Red is great man, like just the other day I ran through 11 zones and saw a guy.

Can't get much more populated than that.

JK I haven't been on in months lul

[Jimjam]

You know those pictures of The Emperor of Mankind 'sat' on The Golden Throne, all withered and corpse-like? From Warhammer 40,000?

That is basically the anthropomorphised Red.

[frostcrypt]

i like to log on and get harassed in tells by 5 dudes 2 boxing that wont do shit in a 1v1 fight, but yeah its dead

[caldknocker]

Convince at least 200+ people to cross over from blue to red.

Or, Purple server which transfers chars from both red and blue to the new server.. let the already levels guild compete for dominance.

Keep red
Keep Blue

Make Purple

I dont have a problem with Red server. Seems fine to me.

[Dwarflord]

its a special place for special people

it was fun during kunark imo

[JayDee]

The quality of pvp really does drop each expansion. Classic is strong because the zones are densely populated and gear does not have the significant impact it does in the current stage of the game.

50 people running around at peak hours in velious with the top players having vulak vyemm eashan gear is not appealing to prospective players.

[Jimjam]

I remember 1 grouping hate zone ins with a bunch of 50s to get trash drops and just having a few groups of Vulak 60s drop in on us!

Kinda fun in its own way, but not how I want to spend every evening!

[Dwarflord]

on rallos low level pvp was amazing @ Velious thanks to guardian armor, before vel you NEVER Saw melee twinks pvping

once luclin came out and spell effects casters got a big boost, which they lost once ldon came out and people would kill eachother for +1 augments that made stuff no drop

[White_knight]

Red99 thriving.
60 pop.
Definately not dead.
Camps open when you want them.
Raid mobs up 24/7.

If you like single player games then red99 is the servior for you.

[Richard]

I'm looking to play after like 17 years of not having played EQ and for obvious reasons would pick red. My only question is with the pop so low is it hard to get a bind somewhere or am I more or less stuck playing some kind of caster?

I haven't played in a while, but I think you would probably be able to get bound. You could ask in OOC and it's likely enough someone online will have a character that can bind you. I hope you won't let Bind Affinity keep you from playing the class you want to play.

[HippoNipple]

There isn't a worse PvP Everquest server to start on right now in existence.

[Richard]

@Videri-- Fair enough, I'll sort it out as best as can and if I have to do a long corpse run, well sometimes you eat the bar and sometimes the bar eats you.
