Toxic!
 
I thought hey it’s a low population server what could go wrong. Double xp that’s cool. I’ll make a cleric, who would ever want to kill a cleric? PvP isn’t that bad. I’m sure there is some order there. I mean how bad could it be... Things I told myself.

I’ve been on this server for about 3 months now. It was definitely and enjoyable experience when I started. Many fun groups made some friends. Joined “the guild” ie. Sanctuary. I leveled my way to about 50, that was the plateau. All down hill from that point on. Groups scarce, people randomly trying to off you for no apparent reason except to get your plat and see their name up in pixels, oh and get the obligatory “PRAS” in /ooc. The best part (which makes me laugh) is you don’t gain xp or loss xp in a PvP encounter. So what’s the point? Pure unadulterated grief, yup that’s it, grief. Oh, I’ve listened to people try to explain why the server is the way it is. The answer is always “it’s Apex’s fault”, this is an absolutely laughable statement. This isn’t Apex’s fault, this is a lack of self control and the aptitude to be able to take garage and at the very least make a sandwich out of it even if you had to cringe.

I’ve always tried to be light in a dark world. I would have thought maybe just maybe there was a glimmer of hope that I would be able to be the light in the darkness. Ha! Boy was I wrong. I’ve even rezzed people that have turned around and killed me. Ask kindly for a port to get ported to an awaiting party to gank you at some random place you didn’t ask for a port to. This sever has zero organization and zero purpose. I assumed that maybe these people had some brains and could assemble something great from a pile of garbage code wise, nope, fail, epic style.

So, will I stay, is it toxic? Yes, to both questions. The solution seems to be, get to 60 and only use that toon to raid. Expect terror destruction and mayhem from about 45ish to 60.
The only ones that could fix this sever are the creators of it to code some semblance of order. Devs you made garbage deal with it. If they won’t deal with it population of the sever rise up and do it yourselves. I have many great ideas for this server but we would need to work together to make it happen. Let’s create structure and a lasting legacy not be apart of the demise.

Makes me want to play on Red tbh.

Not a whole lot of toxic environments left on the Internet anymore...

One last offense before the thought police surround us, lads?

...not quite sure what you got from the post but your response seems schizophrenic. If you think I’m trying to make things ”kum ba ya” your dead wrong. I want healthy PvP with a purpose not disorder.

in my experience there are only a few real griefers on the server. But since the population is that low, that's already a decent percentage of the population.

PvP on itself is a nice concept. Resolve camping disputes: easy. Can't stand other guild? Make a guild war. The PvP on this server is nothing like that unfortunately. Here are the 3 types of PvPers that i encountered:

1) The philosopher (just one person, has toons at different levels). He want's to raise "awareness", so he kills you out of the blue with a maxed out raid geared level 25 toon. That one actually isn't so bad, pretty funny even. He honestly thinks people need to be more aware of the hostile environment. He only kills you once and usually doesn't loot you.
2) The "other players are just mobs with more money" type. Those are mainly in for the money. They kill ruthlessly and efficiently, take your money and go. Of course they try to time their kill such that you can't really respond, maybe while fighting some mobs.
3) The "god complex" type. Those just kill to feel superior (which they usually are, raid geared to the max). I do understand that type. What i don't get is the persistence. It must get boring after a few times... but apparently, for some people it's great entertainment.

And that's all i ever witnessed on this red server. No noble fights for camps, no guild wars, just petty crimes.

I agree with this, although I’ve never encountered the first kind. They must be pretty rare.
