Open Question to Blue's "Competitive" Raiders

[Bhubbles]

I'll preface this with - different strokes for different folks...

Blue - you end up doing the same thing over and over again.

Level up a character to 55+
Dabble in the raid scene
Find out it's insane to put in that kind of time/work
re-roll a new character to level up...

*Personally this was not for me, sure the first time through when red wasn't around it was fun - but doing it over and over again... Not for me.

Red - Long hard road, but very rewarding in the end.
Level up to 55+ (not easy and definitely can be lonely along the way)
Get to casually raid (if that's your thing) from 1-4 days per week 5:30 - 10:30 (depending on time zone).
See 98% of the raid content that's out and get geared relatively fast.
Be in a casual guild - pvp, get your epic, snag a few smaller targets.

Either retire from EQ or continue casual play in whatever fashion you deem fit.

* Personally I love the pvp aspect, and along the way I got to see a lot of the things that I didn't in 1999-2002. VP, TOV, Sleepers and I also got to see every raid encounter in the game except Tunare (but let's be realistic - no sane person wants to clear POG).

If you want to play the game with out any limitations I would play red, if your just looking to level up and chat in groups over and over go blue (This is from a Casual players mindset).
