It's not dissimilar to when you grow up and your parents tell you only 1 chocolate per day from the fridge, so you and your siblings dance around all excited when you get your one chocolate, it's a fun shared experience...but on red it is when you grow up and can buy a whole packet of chocolate and you can gorge it all down in one night, lonely, and have no one to share the experience with....and then you just end up fat and lonely with 10x level 60 toons decked in NToV gear.

So ultimately all you end up with is 10 empty chocolate packets and no experiences, or fun.

(Hopefully some of you can relate the chocolate to character's relationship).
That's a good analogy and one of the drawbacks of playing on Red - the lack of population and it feeling empty.

But on the other hand, when I've tried to play on blue/green I feel like it's all meaningless, all these hours invested into a charachter that will never be able to use his gear to compete against others and I can't stomach staying there. I guess what intrinsically separates us Red99:ers vs the bluebies is that we're competitive people.

So with those 2 negative options, I personally feel like the least bad option is to play Red99.
Also, I think most people on Red99 are really nice folks contrary to its reputation so that's not a factor that I hear so often on the forums about its toxicity - not true. Sure, perhaps very end game raiding, but what can you do.... I know I'd rather deal with that than lawyer questing and standing in line for pixel kills on blue/green.

Thanks for your input.
