blue was out before red, most people dont want to start over... but sometimes it just takes giving it a chance to realize how much more there is to eq with pvp

The lure always seems to be the promise of fast leveling and PvP to solve problems, except everyone always talks about how friendly and cuddly the population is. Where's the PvP? Seems like all these new folks are fodder for the twinks. The original PvP servers were the best because it was some sharks and a lot of fish, red has distilled down to tons of sharks and barely any fish, which is why these threads are necessary. Gotta feed those sharks.

Why even waste your time on blue? You are just gonna want that next level....that next piece of gear....then what? You end up killing every raid mob over and over, I would imagine it gets stale and boring very quickly. Your pvp encounters are always different and you will never have the same encounter twice, doesn't that sound more interesting than hitting auto attack on "Raid_target_05" for the 100th time?

EQ PvP is like 70% gear, 15% skill, 10% numbers, 5% RNG luck.

Empire has the gear, Empire has the numbers, and they obviously have some modicum of skill. Sounds to me like the server has been won. Wipe it clean #Teams99

dude truth.. if anyone thinks PvP gear dependent they just dont pvp that well or much...

Gear helps you recoup after a fight or helps you survive in mass pvp.. but it will not = kills if you dont know how the mechancis of this game work in pvp

Mr helps you avoid roots but even at 120 an enchanter can still land a lvl 4 mez on you after tash...

An enchanter with half his inventory empty who knows how to dispel & range spells can eviscerate a well geared anybody.

Gear has more of an effect on PvE than it does in PvP in 99% of scenarios.

Empire wins every mass PVP engagement first and foremost because they know how to win mass pvp engagements.

Friends knows how to win nearly every group pvp engagement because they know how to win group pvp engagements.

Blue twinks die to Thunderdrome every time because they dont know what the fuck they are doing.

I'm sure Swish is right that grouping at low levels with no gear newbies on red is a blast. But a ruleset that encourages people to fuck with you in a horribly balanced PVP setting just sounds awful. No amount of exp bonus and mages in rags is enough to convince me to overlook that some twinked-out psychopath can grief me at will. If that's your cup of tea, then more power to you, but red is definitely not for everyone.

i dont think classic eq was ever a good pvp game. period. the fast leveling and what not is great, and i do agree that blues pop and high end player base is a bit of a downer at times, but ide rather play blue then red because everquest pvp just doesnt interest me at all and at end game im sure its a big part of the game. i guess ide rather wait on loot then fight over it.
