Why did you quit red?

Callin bullshit. When I played on red, I'd get attacked by everyone within level. Usually they were geared far better than I.

I don't blame them either. Teams is critical for a population IMO, especially given classes and pvp in EQ not being terribly balanced.

Also that thing about lvl 58 and up pvp sounds solid

setting up 'contested' zones is a pretty cool idea actually- theres already enough 'customizing' going on with red that its not really part of the 'classic' experience anyway-

some of the more popular and high ZEM zones, make em contested, along with any and all raid zones... would probably be a huge step for red-kind.

Zones like MM/unrest/com/solb will still be hot zones full of pvp but it gives the more casual players an alternative where they know they can go and be left alone, and pvp on their terms-when they want to.

pnp already makes red non-hardcore, so a custom ruleset like this seems pretty reasonable, tho i would have no idea how much work would be involved in something like that

...when did you play? Because this was a recent change that caused grouping to be more beneficial than killing everyone you see, because of the XP change.

It was specifically designed to foster a more group friendly environment, and I've only run into a couple people who are having the experience you had (which used to be the norm, before we changed a bunch of things).

Best suggestion for RED server EVER!!!

I would say level 46 though, to make all the raid scene PVP.

Obviously exp bonus below this level would have to be on par with BLUE server, but still this could bring a lot of new blood to RED server.

It would also bring tunnel questing to RED with all the good and bad that comes with it, but the best thing about this PVP restriction is new people could actually form their own groups and guilds in peace and have time to prepare themselves for the raid PVP.

There would also be cabs available in RED, and that is something both new and old players would welcome.

Do this and save RED server.

[no chewie dont]

surprised no one suggested saving red by disabling ALL pvp

I would play there if I could hand in my book to discord and be non PVP flagged.

[indiscriminate_hater]

should just take away the pvp group penalties in blue so that red names can group/get buffed by blue names. i remember i turned in my discord book on live because i thought it was cool, then shit my pants when i realized i couldn't be healed by groupmates.
