bring one of the mid tier blue guilds of 80 people that routinely settles for scraps, take a month to level up with EZ xp, profit.

Fear of pvp is such a blocker for some people. Nobody turns up and "wins" at pvp if they haven't had previous experience, it takes practice, persistence and a lil research doesn't hurt.

What's so great about a server that you have to constantly beg people to join? If red's so great, you'd think it'd sell itself.

I never tried it because:

A. I thought everyone that played on it was in middle school.

B. I was afraid of getting corpse camped and hating my life.

C. I thought everyone PVP'd constantly and ignored PVE.

Now that I have played here for a few months, I love it.

PK's in Unrest and MM are like a mini-boss that you get to fight.

Low population is really great at the high end and you don't have to worry about rule lawyering.

Your friends are much more important and you hate your enemies with fire.

I leveled to 50 on blue without really interacting with anyone else in the game. Red forces those interactions on you.

Begging isn't the word, and this isn't an "invitation" from the entire community... just from a player who would like to see red get back to 250 again, and then beyond <3

There's a "play nice policy" there which means you can't be corpse camped, you just declare "LNS - (zone you died in)" and they'll eat a suspension if they don't allow it.

Red is awesome. I leveled up to 51 on blue pretty much solo the entire time. I've grouped from 1-52, and 1-47 on both my characters so far. Some weird hours of the day (post 3am EST until about midafternoonish) can be slower, but the server nightly is very active with a wide range of levels.

So far the most noticeable thing about red is how friendly people are when you are looking for XP. Everyone benefits from grouping, people go out of their way to meet up with groups and to stay with them for as long as possible. Yes there are griefers, but they aren't the majority of players here, they just happen to be the most vocal.

Pvp will happen. You will meet Mrbigs, the Unrest caretaker. <Knights Templar> in Mistmoore. They will kill you, but you can always move somewhere else, or log and come back in an hour when they have left. What's really funny about them is you can XP past their pvp range extremely quickly, also a full group of newbies can usually always run out a twink. Yes a few of you will die, maybe more than once, but they only destroy your group and cause everyone to log if people give up and get pissy about it.

People are also very friendly with helping you level. There are a lot of druids around that are willing to port newbies or help buff them for awhile. I personally try PLing in crushbone at least a few times a week, or whenever I pass through the area I'll see if anyone is Xping and would like some free mass pulls.

There isn't any reason to not try red. You can also box blue and red (one character per server) with the same account. Next time you are camping something on blue, sitting in EC, or on a waitlist for a group roll up a red character and play around.

Yep since having to settle on only one top guild and if you don't get along with or like them you are shit out of luck... Sounds loads better.

But thats the beauty of red ! If you dont get along your NOT shit out of luck. You can show up to their raids and drop ice comets on them. 200 people in ej? Fuck lawyers. This is war !

No raid scene lawyering crybabies on red. It runs itself, saves the GMs from having to sit around and debate solutions for hours.

Best raid solution on blue for dragon pixel pops I think.

Yep since killing a Zerg force of 60 is doable...

EQ PvP is so unbalanced and dumb :/.
