![]() Why don't you play on the Red Pvp Server?
Red and Blue have a big population difference and I want to ask why.

![]() I don't have any interest in fighting other players...none whatsoever, unless I'm goofing around in the tunnel. Speaking of the tunnel, sometimes I find it fun just to goof around in the tunnel with other people; last time I logged into east commons in red, there was only one other person there.
In addition, I have no desire to start over and farm all the exact same gear or grind levels again on my bard. Once is enough per class.

![]() Server population is too low. I play EQ for the camaraderie that I seem to be unable to find in other MMOs. While I am sure it exists to some extent on the Red server, it seems less likely.

![]() Cultivate an atmosphere of quasi-friendly rivalry/competition and get some GMs/players to organize PvP events and I'd think about it. Not interested in being the subject of Billy the Kid's latest photoshop mashup.

![]() I voted that I don't like EQ PvP, but that isn't quite accurate. I actually think classic EQ is a better game to have PvP in than the vast majority of other games. EQ PvP has something meaningful to it besides ratings or points, cause it's a competition over scarce resources.
But since I didn't start on PvP on live back in the day, I never "got" EQ PvP, so I'm on blue now because that's how I played before. Also though, basically everything else on the list that is bad about red. Low pop, bad image, already established on blue, etc. | ||

![]() The populatio on red is just abysmal. I tried...I REALLY wanted to enjoy my time there. But it's a ghost town, and if I really wanted to play EQ completely alone I'd just start my own emulator. PvP on live was a blast, but mostly becuase there was a server full of other people to actually PvP with right from the first night.

![]() Add option : PvP was an afterthought of the developers at best.
The game wasn't made with PvP in mind. It's a PvE game that had certain elements of PvP imposed after the fact. As much as I loved playing on Rallos back in the day, looking at eq PvP now its laughable.

![]() Red is a solo game until 50's. While playing you have to also enjoy trolls and complainers.

![]() I have seriously considered playing some red and why I haven't gone over can't be explained by one reason only.. It is a mixture of the people playing on red, the ruleset and the population.
Firstly I don't like the ruleset. Sullon Zek had a great rule set where teams were forced. Over on red 90% of the people are in Nihilum and that blows because im a perpetual fan of the underdog and I wouldnt want to be on there team - it would not be any fun! However going up against them isn't fun if you only have a very small amount of people doing it with you. Secondly the people really turn me off to the server. RnF is fair play and I appreciate it, but some of the people I see over there create posts that really make me question whether or not I want to be on a FFA pvp server with them. The population is of course an issue but a secondary one - if the server were different more people like me would play on it.... I seriously just don't get why everyone who goes over there joins the same guild.. that is not how pvp happens. Then nihilum people just talk shit on the forums all day, its an awful atmosphere in my opinion. Forced teams at the conception of the server may have helped stop that from happening by at least creating some legit opposition. Heres an example of why the server is fucked: people who are not in nihilum level to 60, they get bored of having no one on their team, no way to get uber gear, and get owned by 6-1 odds in pvp. They sell their character. Who buys it? Of course the people with all the platinum buy it --> nihilum people. Now if teams were forced ala Sullon Zek, nihilum wouldnt buy that character because it wouldnt be on the same side they are on.. There are plenty of other explanations as to why forced teams = better than FFA, but Im tired and rambling =P | ||
