I can confirm i'm kicking ass on red99 with a fresh newb monk with no twink gear. All groups have been super nice.

We have had ranger tanks, monk tanks, bard tanks, druid healers, 2 rangers in a group, no healer in a group. All the scenarios possible, and the 290% exp bonus is killer delicious.

Just have to look out for the twinks and player killers while leveling. The nice thing is because of the exp bonus people are pretty open to inviting anyone to group.

You can get level 40 within a week easily.

Preach it brother...bless this post.

If it's so fun to play red why not get rid of that xp bonus? Then u can enjoy having no gear and playing in wacky groups for almost three times as long!!!

Next time you should tell the rogue that holding aggro on a monk vs a twink isn't easily done when they're not playing their class correctly and using evade. Next you should tell them that because they suck so badly at EQ aggro mechanics that they should just go back to WoW. After that, you need to pull enough mobs to where he gets his hp dropped to about 30-40%, then FD to kill him with low hp-aggro, and then you stand back up and finish off the mobs.

The old XP bonus got taken out ages back, which collapsed the 3rd raiding guild on the server at the time, <Red Dawn>. Nightly population swiftly dropped to 70ish. I leveled a wizard in that time but it was mighty slow solo.

Thanks for confirming that red is some bizarre bastardization with only the faintest cosmetic relation to classic EQ.

Listen, we all know the only thing red has going for it is the low population. That, and the fact that most of the server is in the same guild, so the loot flows free and easy.

So, yeah, if you want to play something that doesn't resemble classic everquest, has a super crazy exp boost (leveling is too slow/hard for those elite red players), and has little to no competition for gear, red is for you.

Of course, after years and years and years of listening to red players talk up their server, the population has been pretty static and stale....so I guess not too many drinking the koolaid.

So...you're saying the main pro for Red isn't the community, the pvp, or the loot environment, but the ridiculously high exp bonus, as if the server needs an artificial incentive to get the majority of its population to play there?

Hunh. :|a

I feel your frustration op. I made a rogue when joining p99 without knowing about the ragebringer situation. You have no idea how many times I have faced mocking on my path to 50.

maybe you should twink out your monk, fucking filthy casual scum
