Trying to play without stepping on toes here.

Like Seducio said, just enjoy the game. This should be your main reason to log in. If you worry too much over too sensitive players, you will not enjoy. PNP is all you need.

The reason I'm responding is, to give you another suggestion. Have you ever consider Red? If you play lots of solo, it is perfect. Don't worry about actual PvP. I have couple toons in 40's and I didn't experience PvP yet. And just about everything is available. You want Jboots? Go, get the ring, chances are, no one will be there chasing AC. And so on...

Things probably gets different at +50 levels, but until then, it is a nice relaxing game to play. And those players you do meet, they are all polite. That is so far my experience. I got some gear, I got some help... Just today I started new lvl1 toon, and didn't take long someone asked if I'm new player, was going to try to help out.

On Green players can be quite toxic. On Red, players somehow don't really try to offend other players too much. I wonder why... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You may want to give it a consideration.

To be fair, I do have to mention, there is a guild, (Apex) that their members like to attack helpless players, that are leveling up and trying to get their first pieces of gear. But all in all, so far I like Red the best of all three servers. And I do have few toons on each server.

But if you group a lot, then Green is of course much better choice.

Demonstrably untrue.

"massive multiplayer online"

The point is to play with people. Even if you're a soloist you're undoubtedly a part of some community.

Now sure just like if I were to say "no one wants to kill children" you could accurately point out that it's not technically true. But the point is that the statement applies to almost everyone. 99.99% of people are playing MMO's and not specifically going out of their way to ignore the presence of other players. They are social games first and foremost. Hence the placement of MMO in MMORPG.

For you. Not for everyone. The game supports MM.

Appreciate the comments everyone. I'm going to just try and go with the flow. The good thing about being a wizard is, if something's being camped or crowded, I can just pop on over to try another spot. There's always gotta be *something* open, right?

I will say up-front that I do like to solo a lot. But that said, for all the struggles and congestion of Green right now, I just still kind of prefer to a server like Red. It is nice to be able to get all the camps you want, but at the end of the day it just feels lonely. I do genuinely like being surrounded by other fans of EQ and knowing that there are people around me even in a place like Neriak Third Gate. The potential to relive some of the fond memories I had, like hanging out at a bar with people and chatting, is most likely to happen on a place like Green.

Plus I still dream of seeing a raid one day, and I was told straight-up that it would not happen for me on Red. Not to mention the last time I tried Red, some dude was getting griefed repeatedly (PvP kills are announced server wide) and that kinda scared me off. xD
