[Poll by Post] Red99: A short questionnaire for our Blue community members

[SCB]

If you played on Red 1999 in the past, why did you quit?

I played for like twenty minutes once when blue was down.

What did you like about the server?
Global OOC is pretty cool. XP was really fast, but again, it was like twenty minutes.

Would you want to play again?
I'm always tempted to try red. I probably wouldn't commit to it fully, and can only really play EQ in spurts every few weeks, but the fast xp helps mitigate that. I love PVP in general.


Going to answer the below because I basically have never experienced what red is actually like. I've never even fought anyone, because every zone I was in was empty at the time.

If you have never played on Red 99, what has kept you away?
First, some background: I exclusively play PVP servers in every MMO but EQ. I play some F2P MMOs purely to PVP (ToR, Rift). League of Legends is my third favorite PC game of all time, so I'm used to absolutely shitty communities, and trash talk doesn't bug me.

That said, Red seems to be full of sociopaths. What they seem to want isn't even PVP really, it's just an excuse to be a dickbag to people. Sure they describe epic fights at dragons and whatnot (which sounds cool), but let's be real for a minute. Just look at the dick-waving in this thread - it's like they can't help themselves.

You might be able to make EQ PVP fun. I don't know. I know it doesn't seem fun, but I'm willing to give it a shot. Teams would go a long way there. House rules and non-classic tuning would go even further. That said, I don't think you can make that community anything I'd want to be a part of.
