Possible Move from Red to Blue

Derrick · #1 03-04-2015, 05:29 PM

I have been thinking of leaving Red99 and coming to Blue for a while now. I have always played pvp servers in every MMO that I have ever played, it's all I know but in my older years I have slowed down a lot and find it hard hanging with this new generation of pvpers. It does get old being alone of Red99 and getting rolled by groups as I try to xp. I understand it's pvp and I respect that. I just feel like I can't compete any more. I have a couple 50+'s and can easily join Holocaust and zerg raid mobs down but is that all there is? The E-Thug attitudes of some of these kids is just sad, it gets old after a time.

I want to experience end game but the price to pay for getting this on Red99 kinda sucks. Do I want to join Holocaust and zerg everything down? Do I join a low end guild and struggle to get gear? I do have questions though ....

1. What on Blue99 can be farmed for good plat that is a random drop, not a stantionary spawn thats constantly camped, on Red99, Bracer of the Hidden is a random drop that sells for 10k (good mid level cash) so what can be camped on Blue like this for me to make money?

2. I never understood these silly raid rules you guys have. Exactly how does this work? I understand guilds have classes, such as Class R etc etc (I have no idea what these classes are) so can someone explain how raiding works on Blue99?

3. If I were to get level cap on blue99, how would I get into the BEST guild or would I be stuck in a low end guild fighting for scraps?

4. Question on prices of specific items have me curious what they actually sell for on blue compared to Red99 prices, such as ....

- Fungi Tunics
- Mana Stone
- Bracer of the Hidden which I am sure is not really camped or needed lol.

Just curious what camps can make me plat to sustain myself. I made this forum acct because I never posted on here before, the truth hehe but I am just finding it hard to have fun on Red99 any longer. Someone sell blue99 to me please.

Seems like you don't put much effort into socializing so blue is probably right up your alley since most of these fools don't have a clue either

1. Depends on your time zone. For example, if you were playing right now you have a good chance of getting stationary camps such as frenzy/droga

2. Class C is for the hardcore neckbeards IB/TMO. Class R is for the wannabe harcore neckbeards BDA/Divinity/Taken + casual guilds. It's roughly a 66/33 split on raid mobs between the two classes.

3. If your playtime is high you will have no trouble joining TMO/IB regardless of skillset or ethical principles and get the loot.

4. Wiki/Eqauctions

Lol when I first saw "transfer from red to blue" my first thought was "oh you mean velious releasing?" Kekeke..

Bracer of hidden is very useful on blue, sells for 5 or 6k. Depends on what class you gonna play too. I found my best farming is in a trio, but I'm a warrior. All the guilds are a little different. Just do your research on them while you level, don't be so hasty to join a guild. I guested with 4 or 5 different guilds before I found a home.

Also seafury island fte extravaganza can be a lot of fun. But only if you win some

This is an interesting take on the "Play Red" campaign.

Jboots sell for around 6-7k, Bracer of the Hidden is around 6k. You can check out ahungry.com for most item prices. Fungis are around 60k. You should be able to trasnfer your plat to blue at a 3:1 ratio or even more. You should have a decent amount of plat to start with if you have any on Red.
Check out http://www.project1999.com/raid.php for raiding class specifics.
Get some levels and apply to the guild you want.

I like that somebody's actually thinking and speaking up about moving on from constant pvp life and the mindset thereof. Seems like recently all I've heard about is people leaving Blue for Red (nothing wrong with that, just an observation). Being somebody who has played both pvp and non-pvp games, I can relate with you on some of these notes. Sometimes the rush of pvp is lots of fun and interesting, but other times I'm just not in the mood to always be on my guard (or get ganked by a group). Sometimes I just wanna relax and enjoy some laid-back gaming. Also, I'm amused by the way you said you were getting tired of the "E-Thug attitudes". That sort of thing is rampant in pvp-type games.

First response this guy gets is a passive aggressive stab from a red player. Go figure. (Inb4 red logic is hurled at me).

Be under no illusions, you will not be escaping PvP by going to Blue. You will simply be trading one form of PvP for another. Instead of PvP through direct combat, you will experience PvP through rule lawyering, petitioning, training, camp stealing, FTE sniping, epic MQ farming, and the collective monopolization of every decent cash camp 24/7 by one unemployed neckbeard or another. In anything worth doing on Blue, your primary obstacle will not be overcoming the game world and its monsters, but beating out the other players who are trying to do the same thing.

This simple fact is the reason that Red's population has been growing steadily, despite its very obvious shortcomings: it's not perfect, but at this point it's preferable to the alternative.

Having characters on both, it pretty much is this. You trade one set of annoyances for another once around 50+. It just depends what you have more tolerance for.
