You aren't reading what I'm saying. EQ's mechanics, even its game engine, are poorly optimized for PvP. PvP in EQ was an afterthought added in by the developers. What does "true fusion" even mean? The EQ devs just enabled player killing in EQ. That's it. There's no additional gameplay mechanics implemented besides looting currency from people you kill. There are no objectives or additional content. You can kill people while they camp an item or you can participate on one side of a fight involving two masses of players mashing their number keys and/or jiggling their mouselook in order to avoid spell interruptions.

Again, you're just talking past me. If you don't like to camp loot then what are you doing playing EQ?

PvP in EQ is just another auxiliary component of the main draw of the game: getting loot. That's why it's a dungeon crawler. There are no objectives to accomplish in PvP, and quite frankly, EQ's combat system is not conducive to particularly deep PvP anyways. If you think otherwise then you clearly don't have experience with games that do PvP much better than EQ ever did.

Which loops back to my main point: if you play EQ primarily for the PvP then you're essentially watching a pornography for the plot. I'm sure PvP can add some fun to the dungeon-crawling aspect, but if you don't like what is essentially the core of the game itself, then I don't understand why you're playing in the first place. Again, if you just want PvP, there are a myriad of games available that do it much better than EQ. EQ PvP is just regular EQ with player-killing enabled.

I'm not interested in your strange opinions on something you've never tried. You were the one sending tells to an afk red tagged character in North Freeport bank hurling abuse about the lengths red players go to with advertising.

Whatever made you so mad, I'm sorry it's spilled over to the forums.

lol, I sent one tell to a red flagged player named something like "Whynottryred" spinning in the middle of the Neriak bank to tell him that all of the advertising is really obnoxious. Was that you? I'm surprised you consider that "hurling abuse", considering the behavior of many people you play with on the Red server.

At first I was annoyed by Red players making lowbie characters to spam noob zones with advertising but now the only thing that bothers me is that I have to keep adding more advertisment characters to my ignore list since they seem to keep making new ones.

I would have thought you'd get the hint when a forum moderator locks your thread and tells you to stop spamming the blue forums with "try red" posts.

Swish has gotten me to try Red more than a few times. I'm sure he's gotten others to try Red. Let the guy promote a server he feels is better. Who cares?

tl;dr Who gives a fuck what Swish does?

Don't know the guy but he seems so mad about blue and that he couldn't get pixels there. Glad you went easy mode bro but don't act like your act of dedication by going to easy mode server makes you anything but a shit stain on the p99 landscape. Either you have a baby dick or a vagina. Which is it? And don't trivialize this serious inquiry with some dumb fuck cat gif


***disclaimer don't care***
Another blue that is waiting for a kill/group or.. well probably just waiting for something.

Stick to blue.

Sounds like that scrub named Iron, or Lron or whatever the hell. Kept saying how great he was then kept getting crapped on by everyone on the server.

But everytime I'm tempted to try red all I have to do is have a look at their RnF
section and the temptation quickly passes.
Sadly why are you kids going to forums to get a feel how a server is? The RNF are literally just here for the kids with no jobs, and there social needs for attention.

Next time actually try PLAYING the game/server.

Herpa derp.

Lron was the server's most glorious troll in his day. The whole "I'm da best!" and then failing miserably at PvP was his shtick. It must have been lost on you. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
