I worded that a little wrong. Xp for 8 days get 54.

I just logged in to check my monk as I'm sure I did to 52 quicker than that, but sadly the /played function broke at some point and has me at 325 days [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It is a lot quicker on red, and encourages grouping and making friends with others. On blue an iksar SK comes in and say "hai guys, room for another SK?" ...the response is usually one of "we have a tank, sorry". On red it's "come on in, XP for all".

Come to red, where there's no discrimination against race or class <3

Also I should say that if you're PvP shy, not informed on PvP mechanics, or want to ease yourself in slowly... roll a cleric.

The old EQ saying, "you can never have too many clerics" applies on red as well.

You guys should start a new thread, since the title of this one is a lie.

Here, I'll write it for you.

Red population on decline, blue exploding due to velious. Come play...pretty please?

This is the truth. Red is all about fun. No strings attached. get on, grind, pvp a bit, have fun. Paladin, Sk, Bard, Ranger, Ranger, Shaman group? HELL YEA! I did one of these and got 10 levels in one day, sure it was 10-20 but that would never happen on blue.

Pvp is 100% not a threat, literately bind where you're grouping and you will not gaf, Ive gotten 2 rez's on xp deaths so far, you die you lol and you loot and then you get back to it. Its such a blast.

The other interesting thing is it is strangely MORE classic than blue, even with exp bonus. The reason for this it 'feels' classic, you are having so much fun. You're grouping with people wearing bronze armor or no armor at all, using fine steel weapons. Ugh its just so fun

The way I've been describing it is Blue is like math class, red is like recess.

I just thought it was gonna be a slog, I was like man I dont want to level another toon with no gear that's going to suck!

I was wrong, dead wrong.

If leveling is keeping you off red dont let it.

If fear of people trolling you and just ruining your day, dont let it. the first time someone even looted my plat after many pvp kills was at like level 45.

If fear of toxic people is keeping you away from red, dont because there are less of them than there are of nice ones.

Oh the other lol and classic feel about red is, nobody has any idea what they are doing pve. Pug groups are like herding cats, its SO CLASSIC!
