Blue has a massive afk population

Is this the line to post on a blue 99 thread? Can I be added to the list?

This is the line leading to the line to post in the blue forums. Please log in game so you can stand around with 20 other grown men attempting to get the first hit on the mob and then post about your pixel dominance against artificial intelligence from 1999. Why not play against another person which takes actual skill?

I think peeps need to be honest that a huge part of the reason you don't want to switch is that you don't want to start at the bottom. Which is a sensible feeling. But don't let that lead to 20 pounds of cognitive bias in a 5 pound bag.

Sheeit I debated for a long time whether to abandon my blue mage. Haven't logged him once since switching tho.

yep, the longer the wait the more you'll regret it when you inevitably make the switch.

or when you try green99 and find out its teams and you get stomped out of every legacy camp cus you didnt practice in the years leading up to it on red.

make the [smart] move. Try red today!

I loved "world pvp" in WoW. Not duels or arenas or battlegrounds, but just encountering players out and about in the world and fighting with them, or not fighting with them, or wondering if they were going to fight with me or not fight with me. Like someone said, that added layer of "am I safe?" when 90% of the time you were.

That being said, how does EQ pvp compare? I know literally nothing about it, but I don't see how any melee character could compare to a caster in this game. I'm sure there are ways, but I just don't know them. Also what are the rules? What does loot and scoot mean? What keeps a group member from randomly turning on the rest of their group? Are there level restrictions? Is it a free for all or is there some sort of faction/structure? Do you lose XP when you die in pvp? Or items or anything?

I'll try red. It's free. Why not? But I sure could use some more information on what exactly is going on in EQ pvp.

That made no sense, you literally just posted... /facepalm

On topic though, I think Red just isn't great for the casual gamer like the majority of people who play on P1999. If I could commit a lot of time to EQ then maybe it would be worth it. I like blue because it's chill and I can AFK when I want and not have to always worry. That's pretty much it to be honest.

Really it's the exact opposite. You level way faster on Red, despite PvP setbacks. There's less competition for high-end experiences once you get to the higher levels. If you have limited weekly hours yet want to do what you didn't get to do back in the day (which is my situation) Red is way better.

you're right passing on untwinked new players LFG & requiring people to wait in line for the opportunity to camp a mob for 8 hours is totally casual.

you know compared to loging in and xping with people in rawhide and runinnig around loling and having fun not chasing any pixels at all.
