Greetings Blue
 

Well in light of recent changes to Red, it has become more stressful than fun as of late...

so I thought I would give Blue a try see what is going on here.

I will be playing a gnome wizard named Shesh If anyone is LFG! :)

Welcome!

What changes were made on Red?

PnP rules about leaving ppl alone for 1h after killing em etc. Resulted in all the griefers going from corpsecamping people into spamming ooc as career rules lawyers. Every kill text is followed with incessent spam of "Playernamehere please leave this zone in timely fashion for the duration of 3600 seconds not a nanosecond less thank you".

Basically imagine playing Monopoly and getting the go to jail card, then a guy screams at you in glee for 5minutes about how you cant collect 1000$ as you go.

^^ that sums it up lol


I do still log in occasionally, but I usually can't find a group and end up getting pissed off. Log back into blue, get a group in under 10 minutes. It's a shame the server pops aren't more even.

Well for the record, don't let the forums or OOC scare you about Red. Most people/players on Red are good people who just want to enjoy Classic eq as it was with PVP. However the 10 people that are habitual greifers and assholes really take it to the next level.

The reason I am giving it a break is because of the new "play nice policy" this has really made those griefers step it up a notch. Now apparently if you get killed in PVP the loser has to "Loot n Scoot" which means you have to leave the area for one hour?!? the rule in it self is nothing but grief. Or have fear of being banned. I like P99 and I am still getting that nostalgic feeling. but these new rules have literally made the game stressful as I am horrid at pvp and play a class that just gets owned in pvp (mage non epic) so everywhere I try to level Once I am killed I have to leave that zone for one hour. so basically since I cant port and I always bind myself in that area log off for one hour.

That doesn't make sense. I haven't seen the PnP policy for Red, but from the rest of this thread, I thought the killer would have to leave you alone for an hour, not the other way around :confused:

Edit: Ok, I went over and looked at the Red PnP thread. That's fucked up.

Ya its part of the loot n scoot policy basically to the Victor goes the spoils. No they cannot grief you but in all honesty that was never an issue. Now basically the winner gets the zone. If you die in pvp UNLESS both parties agree the loser has to "scoot" for 1 hour.... thus ruining the fun of eq. With threat of ban. For example I get killed have to scoot for one hour move on after an hour of running maybe more I get killed in next zone and rinse and rrepeat. I will probably still hop on red of course but it has gotten out of control. The gms really need to rethink these rules

Welcome to the server!

Lol, these red rules can't really exist, can they?
