Not getting griefed
Welcome to Red! Here are a few tips to avoid twink PKs:
• do /anon or /role, either of which will hide your level, class/race, and location; /anon also hides guild tag (though people in the same zone as you can use /guildstatus to find out)
• don't make your level/location known in /ooc (which is a server-wide channel on Red99). For instance, /ooc'ing "22 bard lfg in Mistmoore" has the potential to attract a predatory PK, as does "20-26 Mistmoore group lf3m pref dps/heals" (3 noobs in Mistmoore without DPS or a healer?? Sounds delicious!!). Instead, just don't include location: "22 bard lfg," "20-26 group lfm pst," then let people send you tells.
• level anywhere but Faydwer. The most popular leveling route is GFay > CB > Unrest > MM > CoM, so that's where the twink PKs go. However, there are excellent leveling zones available, especially if you form a group then buy a port there. Blackburrow, West Karana bandits, Befallen 10-20+, Najena, SolA, South Karana, Paw, Kerra Isle, LOIO, more. Many of these zones also have some useful little loot items.
