Suggestion: Take this thread and 10 pounds of sand and shove it where the sun don't shine, er, move it to the red forum for some kneejerk +1'ing. Also, deceptive title for 9857th tiresome "come to red" thread is bad and you should feel bad about yourself for having posted it.

Loves me some Kaev.

I laughed when I envisioned him reading.

P99 blue is more mechanically classic. There are a lot of game breaking classic mechanics for pvp that really had to be removed or else it would be item quest

P99 red encourages more grouping etc... Which may make you feel more classic feels.
Especial if you "ground up" your way without help.

There is some interpretation to classic but the goal is to get it as mechanically classic as it can be, feels be damned.

Since eq did not even release with red servers I would say that blue is definitely more classic.

Hey Yums, still sad you left blue for the easymode server. I'm a solid 12 months past actually caring about these posts, now it's just whether I feel like poking 'em, kinda like a bored kid with a stick looking at an anthill. OP seems a bit touchy, wonder how long he'll last on red if one of the srs trolls decides he might be fun to rustle.

Come back to blue Yums, you know that over 9000x XP multiplier on Red is about as unclassic as EQ gets, you might as well be playing live. Come back man, it's almost :classic: here these days, kinda sorta.

Very smartly worded, I like it. Agree fully, save for polar opposite on wanting classic experience as in feel, not mechanics.

The mechanics of EQ weren't what was so good and differentiated it for endless years to come from all other MMO's and games... it was the feel... the style... the true desire to make comrades and advance, adventure, wreak havoc, whatever together. I never played another game with so many great options for what and where I did/went throughout gameplay. It was more or less the same in any zone with little to no difference.

EQ gives a great feel of difference between races, factions, zones, mob types, etc. and the entire world can be enjoyed by anyone who chooses to do so without negatively impacting productivity as long as you have companions to adventure with you.

While the first post is pretty carcinogenic, I'd say the only reason red feels more classic to me is that I don't have the balls to delete all my 40+ characters and twinks.

Red is too barren and I hate solo classes.

Nonetheless, I don't have time to play either, I don't even know why I post.

Blue? Red? It's all just a bunch of old dorks playing NerdQuest. Sad we can't all just get along. LOL.

Pew Pew!!!

This^ so just play both & you get to meet someone else playing the game too

[Lunababy]

Is this classic?
No

Is this the closest thing to classic without a time machine?
Yes

+1 for troll thread btw

....not sure how troll thread or offending anyone if PRAS both servers and just saying I'm finding red play style feels more nostalgically classic for me....


Good job showing off how polarized you are on the subject though. Sounds like someone who has been on here a long time with one formed never changing opinion of the way things are. I'm more curious to hear form other newbs, not established players who have been around since p99 launch/several years, as this pertains more to NEW players reminiscing who have experience both.

Regardless, all of p99 is awesome and we are lucky to get to experience it at all as stated. I like being able to play both, love my blue pixels, love my red interactions and experiences.
