I Use to be a Blue man , then I went Red

[QFuzzle]

Dudes, there's nothing "wrong" with either side of the spectrum here.

People can find fun in playing on either server, whether it be exclusively one or switching between the two freely. I have characters on both red and blue.

I find this bashing and belittling of the "other side" to be annoying. Both sides can come up with a thousand analogies as to why it's better to stick to their own server and why the other server is inferior or "worse". To highlight dumb stuff like "On blue you wait, but on red you compete" is total crap. There's waiting and competing on both servers, just to different levels and degrees. Yes, of course the population on red is lower and top heavy, and yes of course you have to wait around and can't kill your opponent freely on blue, but it's silly to sit around and nit-pick at each other in defense of why your server is "better". It doesn't have to be black and white. What's so difficult about appreciating both sides of the spectrum for what they are instead of going out of your way to make others feel bad who enjoy a gameplay style different from yours?

Personally, I've spent a LOT of time on both PvE and PvP oriented games. They both have their pros and cons. It doesn't make either one superior or inferior to each other (some may disagree). It boils down to a matter of the mindset of the player and how each person wants to spend their time (a resource we can't get back). Everybody, and I mean everybody, has a different gaming experience. Transposing your own on top of somebody else's and saying they're wrong to think/feel differently is narrow minded, to say the least.

This back and forth antagonizing, belittlement, passive aggression, and inferior/superior crap is toxic and pointless. I know some people get their rocks off doing this sort of crap, though, so whatever. People need something to argue about (guess that's one reason why the RnF section exist). I kick the dust off my feet at them.

at 60, where the game starts.

Completely disagree, 1-59 is the journey and the fun part. Once you hit 60 the game is over and it's time to reroll.

I deleted my blue characters before leaving for red 99. I was filled with promises of new found riches and glory. Come to red 99 they said, it will change your life they said.

Fast forward three months later and I am still sitting in a damp, dimly lit basement of my mothers house. Still never having the courage to walk outside and feel the warm, soft embrace of a girl - let alone the courage to converse with one.

Making the switch to red was a mistake.

This is an A Grade thread.

I wish my morpheous try red thread from 2010 wasn't dead, and stuck way down locked in the general forums somewhere,

those were good times

free your minds

I even think a lot of the people who spam hate at me on the red pvp forums are all people who came over from those posts and now hate eternally because they took a bite of the forbidden red apple that is r99

[Expediency]

Whoever came up with the idea to make TMO pay tribute to enter HoT is a real champion of everquest. If thats not true, it should be.

Blue might be lawyerquest but at least there is some law. On red to survive you have to become a tributary state.

I too have referenced the red pill/blue pill...probably without realizing the original [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It really does feel great logging into red. Even if you're having a bad day and are stuck in a remote zone with little to do, you can let it all out in OOC to those who are keen to listen and give good life tips.
