Slathar and friends just mad their own toxicity alienates them from having anything to do other than zone hop / plug / prey on noobs levelin. No one will play with them.
This isn't RnF. Low energy, too. Sad! My constituents know I have been #1 in every single PvP season.

Vote YES and bring back #GuiseOfTheDeciever to Blue 2.0.

Red99 has always been 10% of blue population (roughly) for many many years.

The truth of the matter is EQ PvP has always been a lower population than most EQ PvE servers.

As far as your #draintheswamp comment, l think you will agree with me when I say that's been done, and it's still a work in progress. Red99 is a lot more hospitable than it was 9 months ago.

With that said ...

Look at all the top shelf critters just waiting to be killed on RED. These raid targets are just a few examples. Most raid mobs are just there for the taking. ZERO waiting in line.

A lot of people on red are willing to help out new players! Give it a try!
Ya there's no line but what he's not telling you is that at any time 60 stay at home sons might show up and kill you or train your raid henceforth stopping you from doing it at all

there may be no lines on red but the grip on content is way tighter dont be naive like this guy

Yea right. Come train a raid I'm at and see how long your grasp last.

You're on the juice. A group of 20-30 folks with the right attitude could roll on red and experience way more in 6 months than on blue.

I really don't understand comments like this about Red (and other negative comments in the thread). I'm never even tried Red, but it doesn't take an idiot to see that maybe new players can help make a difference and improve the situation? They can help contribute to higher numbers. They can help to combat griefers, form for bigger kills, etc.

I actually like how Swish promotes Red, it is something he believes in, has a lot of fun playing there, and wants to see the server become a better place. It's really no different than someone trying to build up a brand, or a business, a reputation, career, etc. Things aren't peachy all the time, but you work to make them better, so why not hold the ridicule some, maybe share some admiration?

The red bug is building in my brain, a lot of what I like to do on Blue is try new camps, learn different things, adapt to situations and learn from them. In the quoted comment about training raids, I don't know how they handle these things on red, but maybe you take a few people and post them as scouts outside the kill zone and at the zone in..? see anyone root them in place, let their train take them out. If they get in your camp take em out. Maybe you need to divert some of your DPS to address a situation. It sounds harder and a bit more exhilarating.

If I had time to raid I would want to give it a try, sounds better than auto-attack and wait for loot links (and it wouldn't be at 3am either).

You really can't do nothing on red unless you join the bigger guild and you will never ever get the good loot. So what's the point of feeding into 25 people? They will never quit so it's 17th alts while you drop 400hours of dkp on common drops that would other wise go to the vault. And I have no idea who is buying this stuff...

I would love a new blue.

Most camps are open. If you are referring to raiding only, then yes that comment is true

100% false

Once players get raiding level and join a guild. Within a month or so they are decked out. I have seen it with my own eyes.
