Hope I don't deter your enthusiasm....Troll Shadow Knight haha

He's in for the long grind.

Maybe there will be some bonuses with or before kunark.

Would definitely be nice, but such is the price for the fuggin' master race/class combo. At least it'll be "faster" than Blue.

I suppose I can roll a shaman. Although I tend to enjoy playing the class less played - I feel like there will be lots of shamans.

Also, Since shamans have 10000 spells, I don't know if I'd enjoy the oldschool mechanic of searching the pages to equip the spell in my hotbar. Does the red server have the quick select option? Like right clicking the hotbar and selecting "Direct Damage" and stuff.

No, thats a more modern mechanic.

If you want to roll a shaman, roll a shaman. Class popularity goes up and down in waves. Its important to play what you'd like to play for the long haul, cause if you are playing a class you dont like, you wont stick with it.

Aren't there a lot of griefers / pk'ers looking for fresh kills?

naw, not anymore. Those types lost a great "good vs evil" war and moved to another custom pvp server run elsewhere (to give you an idea, they allow training mobs onto raids/groups/whatever as a valid tactic there.. of course thats not allowed on red99).

Of course you WILL find pvp and pvp will find you, but the vast majority of 24/7 "I play to grief" people were themselves griefed off the server. The community now is far more like blue99, but with a red twist to solve ingame disputes instead of things like constant GM petitions and elaborate raid rotations and varriance windows.

Server is what you make of it. Choose your side, make allies, make enemies, etc.

I find it a much MUCH more immersive experience then EQ without pvp option.

say maybe you manage to recruit back towards red99 wouldnt the economy end up being even more lop sided than p99 ever was since 19 ppl have like 5million manastones between them or are you guys handing out legacy items. i will roll a mage if somone gives me a mana stone =P

Obviously the hundreds of people who quit made sure to give all their stuff to someone still playing.... I started playing on blue long after legacy items were removed and it was just fine. I even now own manastone.

Legacy items were removed when SolRo was released.

This is a good time to catch up and get whatever remaining classic camps you want before Kunark is released. Pretty much any classic item you want can be camped without waiting. And if there turns out to be someone at a camp you want, you always have the option to fight them for it instead of rule lawyering and petitioning.
