Vae Victus has had more online on red than Nihilum for the last few days, and they aren't the first guild to outnumber us. Nihilum has raided with the bare minimum it takes to kill dragons for about the last 4-5 months (seldom more than 20). Several other guilds that had numbers at or above our own at various times quit on their own accord, when they lost in pvp, or failed to accomplish what Nihilum accomplished when they had equal or greater numbers. No one held a gun to their heads.

Theres just no point in playing if you have nothing to fight over. If you can't even kill Nagafen in classic, you failed as a guild.

Not sure the point of that screenshot, as it only serves to prove you don't get it. Nihilum won because everyone else did nothing but soil their names and their guilds reputation. Then when we were successful because we tried to treat the average player with decency (even our enemies), people come back and blame server problems on us for beating the other guilds and our all around success.

People should learn from that. EQ pvp, contrary to popular belief, is not counterstrike with swords. Its Everquest with options. Its reputation and politics. Its actually quite "sandbox" in its pvp form, for a genre later called "themepark". Sandbox in that, you have the option in EQ of being a pk, an anti, a raider or a casual. You can play for pve, pvp, or both. You can help form guilds and alliances, or you can play as an entrepreneur (provided the pop). PVP is not the end game in EQ, even on a pvp server, and it never was on live, esp RZ. Content is the end game in EQ (with options!). RZ had pks, but the majority of the server, even the people who won the BotB and pvped every day, would be hardcore "bluebies" by todays retarded standards. . PvP is a way of settling who earns the rights to pve. But its completely up to you the way you play. A group of players doesn't "hurt the server" because they win. Its the losers that have done far more damage in and out of game than anyone else.

i was getting 1% solo xp per bat and wasp at lvl 3-4 last night. too much effort to ask blues to switch over to red when the server is low and we have to level up another character in empty zones.
There is permanent xp bonus already. The bonus Nilbog is putting in next week is above and byond that.

Your problem is you are still killing bats and wasps at lvl 4? Its a common "bug" or (not bug) that at the very low levels you need to kill things that are even to you or at the most one level lower, otherwise you run into a big xp nerf like when you are fighting light blue mobs. You are so low level, your xp is like you are fighting light blue mobs but the mob still shows up as dark blue.

At your level the xp is currently double. Make a new charcter and get to level 2, count how many mobs it took you to do it. Do the same thing on blue99 and you will see it took twice as many mobs to do it.

tl;dr: Fight things as close to your level as possible for the first few levels. Also ask in /ooc for buffs and maybe a starter weapon or two to make this trivial.

And correct me if im wrong but, I seriously doubt people even on blue group for the first few levels either. Its a solo game the first few levels (usually).

I find it hard to believe that you were getting 1%/kill even killing lvl 1 mobs at lvl 3. I was getting about 3%/kill on mobs barely dark blue at lvl 39(dead side entrance mobs in lguk).

Nilbog commented somewhere recently about the reworked xp on red, but I failed to find it in under 1 min so I gave up.

"Jen Jen" and "Dwarf". We should make a trio. I was thinking of making a "gnome" wizard.

if you get to freeport or swamp area I can give you some free jewlry. same goes for any other new players. Nothing too exciting but those hp and mana add up quick in the newbie levels.

New players having a lot of fun on red!

In one weeks time a very hefty xp bonus is going in that will last two weeks (one week before, one week after our Kunark release that is on Aug. 17th). That coupled with the already existing permanent scaleing xp bonus = you can get ready and level up for all our wide open content.

Latest news is, Veeshan's Peak will be up and running from day one (aug. 17th) on red99! So ALL content currently on blue99 will be on red99 for you to experience and enjoy!

New large guild <Vae Victus> (JenJens guild) has members at all level ranges, groups always happening.

Come now, and (like legoland).. play YOUR part on this fresh and stable classic server!

edit: I almost forgot, the dynamic event that will open up Kunark starts on Aug 17th and the rewards for turning in the quest items (that all levels of characters can aquire) can be as good as rings of teh ancient, manastones, rubicite,etc!

Did you miss out on these items on blue? Did you miss out on these items on red? Well its ok! Now you have another chance to aquire these legendary items by helping our fellow players unlock the gate to Kunark!

See you at the Iksar Pilgrim camps on August 17th!!!

Nice. Where should one expect to be for this dynamic event, or will it be server wide?
