Says the guy who just said, "hehe."

EQ PvP sucks. Compare it to any other game that was built around PvP and it really is a joke. If you never played DAoC near release, you have no idea what PvP is.

Watching two melee "fight" on here is quite hilarious though.

Page 10, seeing new people in the gfay area a lot - chances are people have seen this thread and wanted to give it a go.

God, I would love it if all these red threads would make the populations of the servers flip.

Sadly, I doubt more than a few trickle over, and most don't stay.

Will be interesting to see the populations of both servers when velious comes out. Not including the r99 head start of course.

I am interested in gaining strength and courage to engage in dialogue with the opposite sex. Will playing on Red99 give me the confidence I need in life to improve my life and form lasting intimate relationships?

yes. the choice is yours

You mean a thread posted on the blue boards instead of your own? Yeah how dare blue players read and respond to it.

What do you mean my own? I been here since 2009, newbie. This whole damn project is my own.

Six years on here and you still have to steal other people's shticks.

Only if you want to be a solo god. EQ PvP is all about tactics if you do it right and it takes teamwork. THAT'S what makes it fun. Unless you're a wizard. Then you're allowed to be a hit and run hero.

I joined red after coming back to the game.

I started off blue, but I sat there after awhile wondering why I was gathering items to beat content I already knew I could beat. It's not like this game takes an extraordinary amount of skill to play. It's just very time consuming and unforgiving if you make a mistake, unlike most MMORPG of today, which is the nostalgic appeal.

At least on red it feels like I'm acquiring gear for an actual purpose. Attacking and being attacked gives me an excitement I just can't get fighting scripted mobs. The threat of losing whatever coined I earned before the encounter gives me a urgency to live at all costs, instead of just knowing there's a cleric no more then a zone away I can purchase a rez from if shit goes bad.

And I don't get where the idea that the reds community are a bunch of pvp ganking tards. Nicest people I've met on p99. There are bad apples on every server, but I barely see any on red. And so far I haven't encountered a single person come up to the spawn I'm camping and just claim it's his, trying to skew arbitrary rules to favor why he suddenly owns a camp you've been at for 4 hours. So far for me it's always been people either asking me if I'm camping said mob, then wishing me luck when I say yes. Or its people asking me for a duel for the spot, which again so far has been done fairly with both parties letting the other get to full mana/health before starting.

I have yet to hit the end game pvp, so perhaps that's different. But so far leveling to 38 has been nothing but great things.

^^This pretty much sums up my experience to date on Red. Well said.
