Default Blue Perspective

I want to come to red99. I started playing live about 2 months before Kunark, so I missed almost all of the level 50 endgame, plus I was always intrigued by the idea of adding PvP to the mix.

But as I read the forums I see a clique of raging neckbeard tryhards that are treating the coming of red99 like it is the missing fourth piece of their life's puzzle after masturbation, microwavable food and conspiracy theories. I know literally nobody who is posting here and I immediately hate almost all of you. From a blue perspective, the group clamoring the loudest for and about red99 sound like human cancer.

I see people here bragging about accomplishments that I would be embarrassed to even remember. The more intimidating you think you're being, the sadder you actually sound and the more repellent you are to blues thinking about participating. Not because you are scary, but because you care so much. You are not admired or feared by casuals. You are just avoided.

Short version: These forums make red99 sound like it has prenatal cancer with a side of Asperger's. You realize you NEED well-played casuals, both to put a pulse in a raid slot and to have someone to be better than? Be less repulsive. Start by toning down the caring.

Also, if there are any red99-bound guilds or players who lurk this mb but mostly eschew it, I would love to get in touch via pm or a post. I'm looking for a crowd of people who do not routinely spew vitriol on internet messageboards, roleplay, get drunk expressly to play EQ, and have not experienced the majority of their relationships as disembodied voices over vent.

You're going to find that most of the ingame population is as sad as they appear on the forums if not moreso because they can now grief to fulfill their shortcomings IRL.

It's pvp. It attracts the lowest common denominator of human filth. It is no different in any mmorpg, ever.

OOC is filled with shit like, "gnomes are like little jews", "****** ****** ****** ******", etc.

You just ignore it. It sounds like you can't handle the internet in either case and not just pvp.

Ryba, in my experience i've noticed that the most vocal forum posters make up a very small amount of the population.. the rest of the population doesn't post because they dont feel like dealing with the bullshit that follows.

if you dont like the language, i believe theres a bad word filter, and if you don't like a particular player, i suggest using /ignore

just don't judge the entire server based on a dozen or so forum posters.

good luck!

Harrison, if PVP attracts "the lowest common denominator of human filth," then why the fuck are you trolling around in the forums? What do you do all day? Is forum browsing a professional career these days? The tone in your reply matches your avatar... sad, lonely, and drunk. pls gtfo

If you're looking to make friends this post probably isn't a good start.

Ryba I'll be your friend. But I don't play that much... you're on your own still...

If you aren't getting run off the server, they aren't having fun. If they're getting run off, they cry for a wipe based on an exploit that they shared. Pretty good system really to protect their "we won legit" image.

Just use /ignore and try to meet the normal people. GL.

This is why global ooc is terrible. Luckily, it's only in for beta.
