Hello all,

I read new rules were implemented on red and the one I liked the most was the -4/+4 killing levels. What also attracts me me is the xp bonus since as a parent its really hard to make good progress sometimes. What else? I like the idea of low pop and the potential of raids and others things that are camped 24/7 with a waiting list on blue. Even for roleplaying purposes it just makes sense if i see a DE worshipping Inny that I should kill him.

But I love wars and pallys but they are so gear dependant that Im afraid to roll one... I dont mind trying a caster but damnit I wanna smash things!

Ive been spoiled on blue... there is something about my chars that people donate nice gear to me without me asking and I was also lucky to have 300pp to by a skyfire sword for my lvl 10 war and ive never felt more epic and Im afraid to go back to rusty weps. Oh well right? This is EQ and with a low pop count it feels that its only right to start out crappy again with nothing.

So whats my question? I would love to rock a pally with good xp here and I think the blind is good for pvp right? I also wouldnt mind a war too just for potential raiding and high end group tanking... but since they are so gear dependant should I stay away for awhile? I played a shammy once and had fun, how are they? Ive read enchanters are great but i feel like i would be a terrible mezzing enchanter but I dont know since ive never played a mezzing class. A wouldnt mind lvling a necro. Any advice?

Pvp sounds fun and starting on a low pop server sounds fun too!

PvP sounds fun but then I see how much hate is on these forums and I figured I don't know if I like the thought of being ganked by twinks non-stop.

All this Red hype sounds like they ran out of their food supply because they trolled all the new players off the server.

?? saw 300 + like 2 days ago ran who out?

Roll what you want. There are more than a few guilds willing to gear out new players. Don't worry too much about being ganked either. If it does happen, don't make a big deal about it or it might get worse.

Yeah it will happen from time to time. But it isn't as prolific as people make it seem. Been to unrest and MM plenty of times and only happened twice to me. The next time I logged in, I was too high for the twink to attack me.

This 100%. when i got into the unrest/mm rangei lvled so fast in those zones that in unrest i never even saw any pvp and i was in and out of there in a matter of hours thanks to good guy Gnorme. Mistmoore only had a few twink pks that showed up in the 2 days i spent there and both times i ended up grouping with them after and grinding for a couple hours. All in all having a badass time on red thus far. Just got 40 last night woowoo.

I can handle dying as long as I dont have pp on me [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Think Im gonna roll a shammy. First non tanking class in my eq career. Looking forward to grouping with some of you. Think Ill make it a goal to get into Fresh. How does the pvp affect the EC tunnels? I imagine very little people being there with lots of corpses on the ground. Am I going to have to fear buying or selling in EC?

Blue is so awesome don't know why anyone would play red!

By the way Sajuuk, I've heard that paly's are nearly impossible to kill in pvp. I was actually planning on making a paladin as my alt in the future.

This game/server is hard. Choose the class everyone recommends you to play instead of the one you enjoy playing. That's the best way.
