friends somehow is hard to get into, can't deny they very clique

so is empires core but at least they tag people

heck i offered to join friends just for pvp and fun, never even got a reply. I find that funny as a neutral reputation shm that likes to support

never did shit to you guys so whatever right, lets just not pretend they are trying to grow into a competitor

I think EQ PvP was more interesting on live when you had a choice of large population PvP servers with different rulesets to choose from. But an emulator with a FFA ruleset, low population, and no cycled wipes isn't very appealing.

I dig pvp, but hardly if ever play FFA, not even in the 90's on Quake servers. I generally go with faction pvp, or at least team based pvp like in CTF mode etc. I've spent tons of time in PSide1, the SWG GCW, WWII Online, EVE factional warfare, GW1 tournaments, GW2 WvWvW, Classic UO where we did red vs blue and then later this huge pvp/rp alliance warfare thang. Not even counting all my shooters etc. Really? EQ1 FFA? meh...

My experience with FFA, usually not very good communities. Too much anger and hostility.

And if more people thought like you, we would not be having the daily "Come play with me" threads, but most do not.. and that is the point.

What is the point?

The point is, whether its blue or red, it's Everquest. And everyone posting here loves Everquest. We share a special bond, and I want everyone who loves Everquest to have as much fun as possible. If all that requires for you to have fun is post threads like this - I would tell you KEEP POSTING - NEVER STOP. Consequently, I would never be bothered, annoyed or tired of the threads, i'd be happy for you.

its not FFA since people have guild tags and respect those pretty much always

The problems that I see with Red 99 are:

• Low population - There isn't a whole lot of grouping going on if you aren't in a guild. You may have to traverse a few contents to get to the zone your group has chosen to level. Keep your eyes open as you travel.

• Lack of ports and binds - If you're just starting out I'd highly suggest you play a caster to at least overcome the lack of gear / bind issue. You will die on Red99 more than you do on Blue99.

• Economy - You have to put more effort into buying gear on Red. There isn't 500 people sitting in one zone all day selling everything you need. Brightside is that the prices are lower (on average) for most items. On the other hand, any camps are wide open so making plat to gear up is much easier on Red.

• OOC conversations - A percentage of the population is salty and only seeks to antagonize their foes in the global OOC. Nightly arguments, insults, and linking of gear that "so-and-so will never have" can be expected. I'd recommend you put OOC in a separate window as, if you're like me, you'll probably be minimizing it to avoid such nonsense.

Even with all these issues, I have a great time on Red. I'm not in a guild and I play casually a few days a week. I've managed to gear up 3 characters pretty decently and enjoy the server so much that my 60 Shaman on Blue (full spellbook minus Canni 4) rarely sees any playtime these days.

There are 3-4 other guilds that raid and do planars.

Holy shit I never even once considered planar corpse runs with pvp on. That just send chills down my spine knowing that if the monopoly guild ever thought or tried it, they will not allow you to get your corpse back.

Thanks for another bullet point for tomorrows "Im so alone" thread

Most guilds will offer to rez you up if you get wiped from PVP in a hard to reach place.
