Try to think about a food you were nervous to try at first but loved.

Anyway I am not going to try to cram Red server down your throat I am just hoping we can attract a few new people who will really enjoy the server and want to participate.

Thread reminds me of trying to get my son to eat broccoli.

Nobody who actually pvps begs blue players to consider red its empire/all the other weirdos who play red for uncontested camps or because they couldnt hack it on blue

Dont get me wrong i like free yellowtext on naive bluebies but fighting you guys is like kicking a retard in comparison its fun at first but eventually it gets boring

I think your wrong there. Empire doesn't need to beg blue players to try Red. They already have more than enough mouths to feed. TMO and others who want to see new people on Red are the ones who are posting these threads. I have no clue who you are but I am almost willing to bet your a bottom feeding troll. You know the ones.

Some of us would just like to see the population grow. We would like to see 2 opposing guilds whether it is Empire v TMO, Empire v Casual Scum, or even TMO v Casual Scum. The other guilds on the server have their own goals and I don't think competing with Empire or whoever is on top for raid content is part of it.

People throw around Bluebie like its a bad thing. I think the scorn each feels for the other is part of the problem. These servers and the way they are kind of segregated seem to intentionally breed competition and discourse.

/sarcasm on
/shrug but then what do I know I am just a bluebie pretending to be a pvper. Who is pretending I might actually be a factor one day.
/sarcasm off.

Sorry I just saw this. So did he like it? I hated broccoli the first time I ever tried it now I love it raw, steamed, however it is prepared. My Kryptonite is liver I cannot get past the fact it is a filter and the taste kinda throws me off. Funny considering I eat sushi, and a whole lot of other odd foods that others might not like.

Red is cool because all that gear with resist.... Actually helps.... For instance a Crown of the Froglok kings on blue is not as highly loved as on Red. Gear actually means something. Not just for PVE , but for red... The change in dynamic is great. Especially if some ass clown is camping your fav mob... You roll in with guns blazing and bust his ass out. All that high end gear at the end of the day... You can flex use it on your enemy.

and to me this is a huge dick move. But this is the mindset of red which just makes me feel everyone on Red is a dick. Why would you kill someone camping something? i mean really? Red is where people with no respect for others go to play.

Well you could agree to take over camp when hes done??? I guess if you love sitting and waiting for camps you could... You would've loved the poopsocking days of the classic ERA , back when IB would sit for 3 days for Naggy. It was absolutely disgusting.

That's the thing that is difficult for a lot of blubes to grasp and was entirely foreign to me. Prior to learning the culture, I'd have agreed. It's all a matter of perception though ^^ If you identify as a victim, you'll be bothered by it. If you take it as part of the server/community and laugh it off or plot a counter strike, you are bound to have some fun ^^ It is a PVP server after all ^^

Of course you can't win all battles when competing against other human beings and that is something very difficult for many people to accept. If you want to be the uncontested king of your world, there are thousands of single player games that cater to that ^^.

I played on a blue server on live till Kunark... my buddies and I went to pick up Kunark at the game store and the two guys behind the counters started talking about playing to Tallon Zek and how PvP was so much better. They made it sound so great that we all agreed to try it.
I don't remember much about the early days, though I do remember a specific few "gankers" who farmed noob areas. The funny thing is that a good player will eventually outlevel and outplay those scrubs. If you need to vastly outgear and outlevel your opponent to win, it probably says something about your level of skill tbh.

I cant add much to this, aside from saying that the mentality between the players is different.
If you just want to go through content and do it without added risk, you probably wouldn't understand pvp. But if you enjoy conquest, triumph, defending your camp, taking someone elses camp, escaping the perfect ambush, then pvp brings so much more guts and glory.

I also enjoy the banter and chatter after pvp. It isn't all the trolling and hate tells you see on the forums. It can be a lot of fun to talk to someone more experienced and ask them what you should have done differently. It adds an element that isn't found in video game AI the human element. Or talk about places and things in game and irl that you may not have or may never see. So it isn't the hate you see on the forums honestly I think the forums really hurt both servers with the way they come across to someone who hasn't experienced them.


Example: Killed by Tamtam and we chatted about surfing and where he lives which I have never been. Also about what I should have done as a melee against a druid outdoors. Sorry Tam I figured id use you as an example since I don't have the balance to surf but have always found it amazing.
