Here's the thing: new players don't know any of that, and more importantly none of that is relevant when you're trying to get your level 2 necromancer to level 3 in the Field of Bone and some douche with a fungi keeps killing you. Red is a bag full of players, and every griefer is a hole in that bag. Blue is a bag without holes, and unsurprisingly it keeps more players.

New players also don't know that you might eat 2 harmtouches from mobs immediately upon zoning into HS, but I have faith they can learn. Have you ever actually seen a fungi twink in field of bone? I mean .. really?!? If that's what happened to you, then you are stressing over an EXTREMELY fringe case - it's rare I see ANYONE in FoB, let alone a fungi twink.

You can insult new players for not knowing how to PvP fight, but all the PvP knowledge in the world won't help against Mr. Fungi. You can talk about loot and scoot, but new players won't know about it, and even if they did with or without their corpse they still can't take on the fungi. And you can talk about camping and waiting for him to go away, bit no one in their right mind thinks that's fun. All those thing don't matter, because at that point Red has already lost another player.

If you use LNS, a very detailed description of which can be found pinned at the top of these forums, there'd be very little relevance as to whether you could subsequently take out the twink - it'd be a violation of LNS to try. There are play nice policies that it behooves you to learn and understand on the blue server as well, right? Also, I haven't uttered even a tiny insult - these 10 guys you see with thousands of forum posts, they troll all day long, and in /ooc too - You don't know how to ignore trolls or something? Maybe they're right about your overly delicate sensibilities. I never once had to camp out of pvp, either. You act as if fringe scenarios are the regular scene, and that's just bullshit. Use your head and the impact of griefers on your r99 career will be practically nil. We've probably spent as much time on this conversation as I've spent being actively griefed on red, and I have hundreds of cumulative character levels.

Now you can insult those players all you want. You can call them weak or stupid, or anything else, but at the end of the day insulting people for leaving won't make them stay. All I'm saying is instead of thinking like veteran Red players and looking for reasons why everyone else is a loser who doesn't deserve to play on Red in the first place, maybe y'all could try having a little empathy for what it must be like to start on Red. If you want to improve the population that is.

"you" being the aforementioned 10-20 trolls. As if there's no fkin trolls on blue - they just have different subject matter, and give you the shaft in a different way. Grow a pair, buddy.
