As I said in the other RED thread...

Differences between RED and BLUE in my 6 day adventure (currently lvl 33!)

1) You lvl wayyyyy faster on red. It makes going back and exping on blue nearly unbearable.
2) Tougher to find groups on red, but when you do...exp is off the charts.
3) You will actually see newbs, or people undergeared (bronze/banded/cloth/cured silk) all the way up into the 50's even. Twinking still happens, but not like on BLUE
4) Community is very cool for the most part on both blue and red (I think it's an ode to EQ's social dynamics) yet RED takes the social dynamics to new heights with the drama of PVP and forging alliances/enemies.
5) More shit talking on red, and generally more crude about it as well.
6) Red adds to the EQ vocabulary the words "Rustled" "Salty" and "PRAS"
7) Less fights at item camps on red, and if you are fighting about it one will usually drive the other out of the zone (again, taking that EQ social dynamic to new heights)
8) You generally won't find overcamped zones on RED. A few exceptions would be maybe KC or MM but even then it's not like how it is on BLUE.



So my conclusion is that if you can deal with hateful crude trash talk and a little harder time finding groups, red is great. It gives me a new refreshing everquest experience. I am always at the edge of my seat because at any moment danger could be coming. When I used to be a strictly PVE player I used to find that sensation repulsive and completely un-fun. Now, I log on blue and I feel like I've logged into this hollow empty world. Everyone just running around collecting pixels and making new alts...and for what? So you can keep grinding more pixels and making more alts? It's an endless madhouse. I see the treadmill now and it's sucked the fun out of the blue server for me. On RED that treadmill still exists but is lessened by the exp boost in pve, lack of competition for exp camps/zones, and added PVP element to keep shit FRESSSSH.

I was just talking with a recent transfer and he told me that in a 5v5 fight at the entrance of Chardok, he started to shake and get really excited about killing other players and learning how to survive.

Those PvP jitters. It's common. Good shit.

Come try it out FRIENDS
