I see all the words you've typed but the fact that you're in here means you gotta be curious.

Have you considered red? Quell that curiosity?
Have you heard about our lord and saviors Rallos, Tallos, Sullon and Vallon Zek?

Nah I was going to write something much more rnf-ish but I decided to lay off because of Deru's post...

Because you seriously should.

Xp bonus is so nice. Full groups errwhere.
Call your own camps.
Meet some new friends.
Reacquaint with old friends.
Make a name and test your class knowledge.

And lastly

Pee vee pee!!!!!!
xp bonus totally isn't classic.
I prefer not to be brute forced out of a camp I called by one of the 100 unique users that have enough plat to twink
I logged in and played a wizard, a lot of people handed me 25pp. There was rarely anyone to group with, and those that I did with I was out levelled by thus was not able to group with "new friends"
All my "old friends" are still on blue
Winning a pvp battle has nothing to do with class knowledge, especiallly when its considered legit to peeveepee people currently currently preoccupied or pvp.

So yes, and was not impressed.

I find it interesting that the big selling point people make for red is the xp bonus, the big selling point people make for p99 in general is none of that ez mode nonesense.

Maybe he thought it was a post about I don't know THE BLUE SERVER. Instead another mindless post about red on the blue section of the forums.

Why do people get so bent out of shape about red server posts? Do you feel threatened? We have more than enough people playing on blue.

Do you not want to read them? Every red server promo post is clearly marked as such. Don't read it. Just don't click the link.

Don't feel like red players should be allowed to recruit through blue server forum? Does it really matter that much? Its all p99, just a slightly different version. Plus its GM sanctioned, so get used to it or ignore it. It isn't going away because you gripe about it.

Ok lets start making 5 threads a day on the red forums about how everyone over there should just come play blue instead. Im sure nobody over there will be annoyed by it right? They should just avert their eyes and deal with it

Deru, any hope for keeping things about red on the red section of the forums?

Yeah really....You tell us to keep rants in rnf how about keeping these posts about red that no one is really interested in reading for the 100th time in red forums.
No one is forcing you guys to click on these threads. People make it sound like we're requiring you to click an ad for red99 in order to play. When I see a thread I'm not interested in on the forums, I just don't click on it. If you're not interested in Red, and it's obviously a Red thread, don't click. I'm starting to think people only make these negative posts because they like having something to fight about. Have you considered trying Red to help work that out?

For a lot of other people, these red threads help them find the server, and they have a lot of fun there. Over the last couple years I've spoken with countless people who never would have tried the server if it wasn't for one of these threads, so I'm not going to take them away - particularly when they are clearly labeled and so easy to avoid. It's not like the title is "Trakanon ninja looted by scumbag" and then a Red promotion is found inside instead.

Have you tried within the last week or two? There has been ~200 people on every night this week and plenty of people to group with. The chances of you getting brute forced out of a camp prior to level 56 now are pretty slim because of the new level range and the blue PnP applying to out of range situations. That being said, for some people, Red just isn't for them. My hope is that everyone gives it a shot with these new changes being in regardless of how they have felt about the server in the past.

TL;DR: Try red, not because the red community wants you to, but because the devs and the CSR team that provide you with such a great Everquest experience want you to give it a shot!

Of course there's a handful of bad apples, too, but we have these on both servers.
We hear that all the time on Blue, too. It's not mutually exclusive to the Red server.
