In classic you can easily kill a planar delelvled war with a wizard or two or a shadowknight and some decent jouting skill

TL;DR most of the thread...

Velious is a great raiding expansion, but a terrible PvP expansion, the gap between a casual player and a neckbeard raider is just too vast.

It's very difficult to compete once one team gets ahead and that snowballs very quickly.

Still, I find ways to have fun, and you could too.

Effort is required on a PvP server; and, outside of whatever Zerg exists at the time, there's not a lot of room for people who just want to netflix and med.

what about one guild catching suspies for "training" when crossing KD while the other guilds leader can train mobs all he wants? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It's not really hard to compete, regardless of the gear cap. If you have no life you can camp out at raid spots, and just engage mid boss engage over and over until the other side loses interest in the game.

Red has been dead since most of the original players left at the end of kunark due to a series of unfortunate events.

This server had one Golden Era, and that was the first two years. After that, things changed.

Game was a lot more fun in classic when you knew pretty much where everyone would be and at most those zones were 2 away [in small classic zone size] from a druid or wiz port.

The problem with RoZ is it's a garage box on an accelerated 6month cycle that will eventually see velious.

It's not good at attracting casual scum. The same problem velious and r99 have.

The community needs a stable classic box that will serve as a matter of prestige and allow people to casually PvP. There's already 10 good servers to raid on. PvP servers can't compete with big empty servers like Takp or flourishing twinkfests like blue when there's no PvP or player interaction to make them stand out from the other boxes people can just AFK camp fungitunics on. Fungi shouldn't even be in game anyway. EQ should be hard and melee should be hardmode.
