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

[Nocte]

If you have never played on Red 99, what has kept you away?
The combination of global /ooc and the attention-starved circle-jerk of players from RnF (If I could do one thing for Project 1999 as a whole, I would remove all RnF forums entirely). I remember that Blue had a global /ooc when I started and it was a nightmare of spam. I don't need to re-live "Classic P99" EQ. In general, I don't think I have the capacity to enjoy time spent reading the same tired catch phrases all the time. Also, the same population/starting over concerns that many have.

Lastly, I never played on a PvP server back in 2000, so I am not missing that bit of nostalgia as it relates to EQ. Because of this, I'm also terrible at PvP. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Don't have a cow, man.

Okay so here's what I take from this thread:

-Lots of bluebies don't know the Red99 ruleset, and refuse to play for imaginary reasons like item loot, xp loss on pvp death, not understanding how LnS works, etc.

Solution? Spam blue server with the red ruleset, in multiple channels so they can't hide the text easily (lol). Or idk, there's other ways to do it.

-Fungi Tunic, epics need minimum level requirement of 46 to equip and epics should totally not be questable until 50. I don't see why not to include this, even if the fungi thing is not classic. Could throw a level requirement of 46 on all raid gear too to avoid those Nihi twinks running around in VP gear on level 30s.

Yep! It's probably my favorite movie. How can you not have known for sure it was amazing?? It makes me cry in the happiest of ways.

I saw it when I was probably just getting out of Highschool, and it didn't leave a lasting impression(I honestly cant remember what its about and buddy of mine made me watch it since he was all about french shit)...plus the DVD Cover(your avatar) scares the crap out of me....something about that face/look.

My girlfriend wanted to see it on Netflix. I was more intrigued more than anything.

Just another example of a red player being entirely dismissive of a blue players concerns. We (I'm speaking for hesitant blue players here) understand the rules, and we understand the enjoyment from pvp. What you (ignorant red players) fail to understand is how to entice a blu player to convert. It seems the typical response is either blue players just don't get it, or we're pussies, or a combination of the two. Getting merc'd by people in your level range in full resist gear, fungis, and VP rots isn't fun and calling us out for refusing to sack up and tolerate it is a poor way to convince people to play on your server.

What? There have been multiple posts in this thread where bluebies listed non-existent reasons for not playing, such as being afraid of item loot or afraid of being corpse camped. I'm not calling anyone a pussy. And wtf how can you say I'm dismissive of your concerns when I just said that fungi and VP gear should be made 46+?

Chill out, friend.

^-Pretty valid points.

Red just has its own kind of bullshit you gotta deal with(this isnt a conversion point or anything) Some is just more tolerable than other. For instance how people suggest moving zones...on blue you get asshole druids/bards PLing and jacking everything and you usually have to move until a GM responds(which they can be quick about sometimes)

That said, red's been fun even though the druid destroying BB...was my group haha. Made one of them quit on the spot, the others are still playing(myself included)
