Red: Can you be bio?

[Cecily]

What does bio mean? Because I don't think you mean what I'm thinking.

It entirely possibly. You won't be able to take on the mobs of a group of twinked out bluebies, but it will work out. And with the group exp bonus, you will be flying up in levels.

Bio like natural, non-GMO, not twinked, PLed or such. I mean looting cracked staff, crafting banded and not wearing bronze till you loot it at level 25+

this is how everyone started.

And why couldn't you now? You can do it on blue, if you're a group of five...

Just stay out of unrest for the most part.

If you level in non popular zones, you're good.

I'm 34 now on Red and have horrible gear, content to just afford spells at this point [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You'll be fine if you have some RL friends to join you

In all honesty, I can't fathom why people are so afraid of pvp on red. If you want to avoid it, you can and will for 90% of your leveling experience. Places like Blackburrow and Unrest have twinks camped in them to pvp with because it's easier to log in for 10 minutes to check those zones than run around the world for 3 hours in hopes of getting a kill.

LOL^

But really yes its possible while I wear gear generally 4/5 people I'm grouped with a lot are large races because they can't afford the gear to be an awesome tank as a dark elf per se hehe. People over there can also be helpful- contrary to some of the red forum presence the old players have been doing a lot to assure new players a more comfortable play time on their server, sure you'll probably be on the receiving end of a pk a couple times but knowledge of your classes and numbers can help overcome that. (give or take situations with a few certain ridiculously twinked alts)

To the OP. My first toon on Red I did just what you are asking. I even did trade skills to make my own armor. Even raised fishing to eat. I sort of wanted to start out like I did in 2000 with nothing given to me but earned.

But you had better have thick skin because you will get your ass handed to you OFTEN with twinks butt raping you with a LOT better gear and mana pool to use. But I found it very rewarding to go that route. Lot of satisfaction knowing what you have you earned the hard way. And you learn a lot of new zones and areas doing it. I would highly recommend you doing it.
