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! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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

If I had more energy I would argue with you about it only being 10 people. It's always WAAAY more than that. In my experience PvP servers/etc throughout the MMO genre (and all other gaming genres for that matter [CoD anyone?]) attract the biggest douchebags bottom feeders humanity has to offer. I'm no psychologist but I can promise you this is a universal truth and why I avoid PvP centric servers and games. Shame, I love the challenge but I'm not interested in associating with these assholes. THIS is why the population of red is so low. Period. I don't even have to have played there for one fucking second to know either. Just go check their forums for a small taste.

Edit: No, I'm not bitter at all. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
