. . .Honestly I'll never understand why the blue server gets so many more players than red.

Because if you are a true PvPer like myself, you want your PvP to be challenging, not impossible. That said, a new starting player on red has to deal with twinks ganking them over and over. PvP is not fun when there is no possibility of winning.

Sure I could probably join a guild or accept a handout to twink my toon, but part of the fun of EQ has always been the long journey to 50, and outfitting one's self on their own merits. The feeling of accomplishment is immeasurable and what made EQ so addicting.

On blue, I can get that sense of accomplishment, which is far more satisfying than killing player one for the hundredth time.

it takes like 30 minutes of exping to get out of level range of any twink you encounter

I'll be honest, it does suck when your group is griefed by a lame twink. Once my UR group broke up because of it. But you know what? In my experience, that only happened once. Other times the twink left after messing with us for a few minutes, a friendly twink and his 60 friend showed up and fought him, or our group moved to a a different spot and continued xping.

Anything you can do on blue is possible on red. You don't need to twink yourself or accept items to have fun on red. There's not too much pvp on the low end because it's so beneficial to xp with those in range, but I did get my first kill (wearing chainmail) in my teens. The majority of pvp you run into will be 40+, after you've had a chance to farm some items and gear yourself.

Plus it's not like that exact same sense of accomplishment doesn't exist on red. No one's going to force you to take their items or money lol, and plenty of people choose to gear themselves over taking handouts. If you really are a true PvPer, you belong on red with the rest of us.

Was always kind of annoying being unable to use rain spells on mobs in groups for obvious reasons.

I think my red cleric has 60 less wisdom than my blue cleric... funnily he still does a good job of healing [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It is far more gratifying fighting over pixels than it is waiting for them.

Kunark is not a particularly difficult expansion, and FTE is not a particularly interesting mode of competition over content.

90% of the players who have been in mass PvP here don't go back to blue.

Until you guys experience that, you're judging the server prematurely.

Wait. I can log on the same account with two windows and one on each server and not break the rules?

Yes, one character on red, one on blue.... from same account. Totally fine.
