Its time to go Red. Pop on the rise. Noobs protected. GM Events. Put your story here!

[FranktheBank]

I have been wanting to try red because; the xp boost, the ability to deal with trolls on my own, and most importantly the increased things to do at endgame (when raid targets are down).

My biggest hurdles; 1) I've always been on the ground floor of server/game releases, so there isn't a tremendous amount of people higher level/better geared than me (aka I'm scared) 2) That I won't be proficient at PVPing with my class enough to not get rolled by people (aka I might be bad) 3) I love epics and I want to have one eventually, but some of them are ridiculous to get and doesn't velious negate the need for a few? (aka I'm dumb?)

I will try rolling a character this weekend I guess.

It's a steeper learning curve if you have no EQ pvp experience but you'll soon learn a lot more about the class you choose after a handful of fights (what works, what doesn't, what gets resisted)... and beyond that you'll start spotting patterns of behavior.

If you're playing an int caster, definitely get some int gear (both for pve leveling and pvp), same for wis casters... your mana pool is important.

Also important, get some HP rings!

Then it's just a matter of practice, lots of it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

<Holocaust> finally got toasted now that members have taken the antisemitism to our forums instead of just their own. It's a fantastic thing for red that has happened. This is the time for people to roll on red. The server has a constantly adjusting dynamic and it is finally in control of the community. I am looking for more people that are brave enough to stand up to the assholes who would come to our community and throw our reputation in the garbage. If you feel like this person could be you, please send a message to a member of <Fresh> and get yourself on board.

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.

I just wanted to add to this. Above is mostly true, except for popular leveling places. I've had nothing but bad experiences in Crushbone and Mistmoore.

yea but to be fair, Crush bone i had outleveled before I could even find a port to gfay and in my 1 day in MM i was finished with it.

I was killed by 2 twinks in MM, neither looted my plat so was not horrible greifing jerks, just some light xp interference for about 15 mins. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

get 50, and its another story from then on. Without a tag you are kos to everyone.. and it can be brutal. But still, the bonus makes you shrug it off and its all pretty fun at that point!

What happened recently on Red? Something to do with Holocaust? Tonto? and some guild alliance or something?

[Ohno]

Red is just as bad as ever...gave it a go and more surprised that it's actually worse. You got a guild named Holocaust... ok it's just a word right? Yeah they have Reich III and Mengele as members.

Maybe it's because I'm an adult now, but I'm having serious problems finding the humor.

That guild has gone. You're more behind than I was a couple of days ago [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
