The problem with Red is that everything fun about it is the non-PvP aspect...
the XP bonus, the low pop, the availability of many camps, mobs, zones, items etc.
Even indeed the community, the helpful people, the global ooc. All of this is fun and great.
And you get hooked. and you log in day after day. You feel a bit alone but it's kinda the point and kinda fun cause it goes quick. Sometimes you see some people. At first they help you, they're nice, they PL you, they give you stuff, they buff you, they port you, they invite you to their guilds and shit.

But one day you get triple PKed by some random delevelled bored autistic asshole that has literally nothing better to do with his time. And you can't defend yourself. And you can't attack. And you can't talk it out. And you can't do anything. Your EQ session is just fucked. Cause some random cave dweller in Oklahoma decided to fuck you up and prove his superiority in the only and last place on Earth where he can do so. Red99. That day is the day you seriously put into perspective your whole career on Red. And next day you kinda not log, and play Civilization instead. and then maybe 3 days later you log again. Ah yes. I remember now. The PvP thing. Hmm. Maybe you get hooked for another week and you forget. and BOOM. here comes the nerd again.

You get the point. After three times it was enough for me.
I love everything about Red99 but the PvP. And unfortunately, no matter how you're selling it (we're doing mostly PvE! We need people for ToV! We'll Powerlevel you!) at the end of the day it is a PvP server, and the point is PvP, and in the 50 or so people who have stayed true and loyal to the server to the death there are probably 40 people who love PvP and wouldn't play on a non-PvP server, and think it's badass to PK another player (pras!), and will absolutely love to ruin your day anytime they have the chance to, as it is their only way to interact with the outside world and get a reaction, any reaction, from another human being acknowledging their existence.

These people are not here on the forum to try to recruit us. They're lurking in Crushbone on their Rogue alt. They will never see this message and they don't care. They will hunt for you and kill you and they feed on your tears and your rage quit.

This is Red99. This is what you're joining if you join. Sorry OP.

@strongNpretty: check this on your list as one person who is still actively playing p99 but "salty" about Red, cause apparently you didn't have any in your stats and that feels hard to believe. If red was that magical there'd be more players, it's as simple as that u_u...

Good luck all on the Red server tho. Have fun etc. /o/

I hear you, and i've heard my fair share of horror stories from many folks experiencing these issues before.. No matter what you do, or what server you join.. You're gonna eventually run into a shitbird.

Could be a guy on blue or green who trains City of Mist. Could be a dude who steals loot from Plane of Hate.. Could be a guy who petitions about a camp you rightfully own but somehow he wins and you lose the camp... These people exist no matter where you go.

Had a dude not long ago /ooc that he was paying for my location. If somebody did provide it, i'm sure i woulda gotten shitted on haha..

But thats exactly why im working on a few alts. If that 1 toon gets camped or screwed, i'll just switch over to another and play.. This is why i love this server. The casualness caters to me. I love not caring about the stuff i would normally on blue or green..

But i hear you man, red's not for everybody. And im not trying to recruit everybody haha, but i think this server caters very well to certain folks... And those folks should know that good people do exist here.

To be fair I have been PK'd on red and even ragedquitted once due to personal problems, but even the really crazy pvpers aren't that bad and sometimes very cool depending on their mood and hormone levels at the moment.

Just don't 'expect a lot' and be your own team leader and group go getter and I think you can have success on red. I am tryin to get back into it. But for me it's health. Sometimes I can only sit at the computer for like an hr before I gotta just randomly get up and go piss off for a few hrs and that doesn't work with neckbeards who will camp an item for 5 weeks straight not getting up at all. So I kinda just don't form close bonds with ppl there.

There's a core of ppl who like want you to invest about a year sitting and camping items with and for them, so u can be competative at NtoV pvp but ignore them.

It's still fun tho.

An u can always LNS (loot and scoot) and troll /ooc if u mad

alts are the key to pvp enjoyment because no matter what u can be somewhere else doing something else in an instant if u can't win
