Its time to go Red. Pop on the rise. Noobs protected. GM Events. Put your story here!

[bankdawg]

I'm an ultra pvp noob and started a toon on red Saturday. Got up to level 5. I got a few questions. What is LNS that i hear about? Is this like anything goes? say you're in a group and the group thinks someone is looting too much and you can just kill them? thats kinda funny if so. I could be way off base but it had this hunger games like feeling to it. i was in a group in cb killing the entrance mobs with my groupmates but felt like we could just start hacking at each other any minute.

Red 1999 doing better than it ever has. Breaking 200, even 250 now, and still climbing.

If you've never tried Red, or tried it long ago and didn't like it, now is the time to give it a shot. We've implemented a number of systems to make the transition to a PvP server much more noob friendly and not as punishingly difficult as it was years ago. Keep in mind that you can have one client open on red and one client open on blue camping item0001 and that is perfectly legitimate.

There is no XP loss on PvP death. Your coin can be looted but your items can't (store platinum in expensive gems). The PvP level range is now +/-4, and we've put the level restriction for PvP back into Soldungb and Permafrost (previously, any level could attack any level - now its +/- 4 again). There is an enormous experience bonus that greatly promotes grouping over soloing, making it easier to find a group and less likely to get destroyed by that fungi twink in your level range.

If you're out of range of PvP, all of the regular blue server PnP rules apply. Any situation that cannot be resolved through PvP uses the blue server rules. However, any situation that DOES have a PvP option (read: anytime there are players in range of killing each other) must be resolved through PvP. In the past, level 60's could come up and steal your camp/kill any time they wanted. This can't happen anymore, as you are protected under the PnP unless you're in range with that player. This also means there's a lot more protection on Red than their used to be for a wide range of situations. We've made things easier for the new player while still leaving the old guard plenty of room to play.

When you do die (you eventually will - its a PvP server) you have the option to Loot and Scoot, meaning you can get your corpse and leave the zone after being killed in PvP. No more forced corpse camping. No more bind camping. "Griefing" is next to impossible now (with a few exceptions which take an extreme effort by the griefer and are generally reserved for only the most heinous and hated enemies. The playerbase is extremely helpful, and there are many players willing to "show you the ropes" for your class or just EQ PVP in general, as well as hand out free items or platinum (gems) to get you started. Even the fungi twinks hunting low level players tend to run around with a bag full of lowbie items, handing items out to the players they kill. It's an entirely new atmosphere on Red.

If these recruitment posts are driving you insane, go log into Red and see why everyone can't stop posting about it. We've had some "big name" Blue converts over the past 6 months, and anyone who comes over with a good attitude and the right expectations ends up having an absolute blast. It's rare to find a blue transition that DOESN'T stick around these days, and that's got us really excited for the future! We're adding more Guides to Red very soon as well, so we'll be sure that the rules get enforced the way they are supposed to and people aren't being cheated or shenanigan'd.

There's never been a better time to go Red.

p.s. as always, please take trolling to RnF. This is the server chat forum and no matter how much you disagree with something, if you start flaming and trolling you risk getting your forum account hammered. If you hate Red recruitment posts so much, don't click on them.

I have never viewed hunger games, nor have I rolled red, but somehow this analogy seems fitting ^^v

yes. groupmates will attack you and that's legit. As for LNS - when you die from PvP, you can /ooc "LNS" to invoke the "play-nice policy" which allows you to safely loot your corpse, but then you have to leave the zone for 1 hour

Not a new vid but with a few buffs it's possible to team up and rid Crushbone of any annoying fungi twink [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Bump. Big things happening on Red. Players beginning to accept responsibility for the server. <Fresh> hosting the events that the server wants to see in absence of higher ups. The time to join and have FUN on red is now. The era of the griefer is over. Come help that stay true.
