Red and blue should be merged into one PvP server

Yeah but the difference here is that the vast majority of the player base here prefers the blue server, as evidenced by the population. EQ pvp is absolutely terrible, the mechanics are bad, the community is bad, its like distilling the worst of the EQ community in general into one server. So yes, it would be selfish to say hey lets force everyone into playing red even though the vast majority obviously don't want to play red or the server would not be dead.

Like I said, people don't play there because they don't know what they're missing. It's about the community moreso than the mechanics, and the mechanics aren't even that bad. I don't mean to upset anyone, these are just my opinions.

And if you all were playing on the red server, maybe the community wouldn't be so bad! Not that I think the community is bad, that's just a stereotype.

Newsflash: Blue players have already given Red99 it a try. There was a huge hype for it upon release and everyone gave it a shot. Red99 server failed for a variety of reasons I won't go into here, but to say we didn't try PvP is retarded.

I'm sorry that your pop will never rise above 60 unless it's a Nihilum raid night. Accept it, and move on.

Trying out a server for a month or two isn't really experiencing PvP. Maybe I'm not expressing myself well enough.

Red dead due to community being wretched, hardly because of dev decisions.

Eh, wouldn't say that. It does make the game more entertaining when you don't just kill 3 tesch mas gnolls and tab out at 20%hp 0% mana, but instead have to spam /who, know what person that shows up on list is in range and if they're hostile, keep rotating camera around, stay at decent mana and have proper spells ready in case some druid suddenly runs over the hill to come spam Firestrike on you when you're in the middle of fighting a mob. And then you turn it around and wreck the druid, laugh at him and all that jazz!

Was fun until logging in meant running from LGuk to NFP and finding exactly one random spectre camper otw at Oasis to quarrel with. Did a couple duels on blue to see what resist tables would look like at 60ish Pvp, and did not want to log on red to get blinded/rooted at 150+ MR every 2nd cast for full duration.

No, you're expressing yourself fine. It's just a stupid idea.

That's the one thing I loved and miss about Rallos, Item loot.

Rallos had a very unique community, too. I really liked the anti vs. PK scene there [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'd totally give red a chance if one time character copy were allowed from blue. No server merger though. That's just dumb.

I've always been a pvper, except for the time I played Everquest live..it never seemed a pvp game to me, and the difficulty of the grind seemed enough, but I'd try it out.

Although if it is true that the server is made up 75% of one guild all holding hands together to ensure they don't have any challenges..well, that sounds pretty sad. If its true [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Shed loads of red accounts for sale at all times. That's all the indication you need.
