Massive multi player online pvp having fun playing with no pvp and no players. /cringe at forum weirdos.

I never understood why people make fun of people who enjoy playing on red. People can have a number of reasons to enjoy playing red other than your own. For some it can be nostalgia, empty camps, nice people to hang out with in guild like Sanctuary. You don't need more than 10 people in a guild to enjoy yourself.

My point is, we all have differing viewpoints. Not everyone compares the current R99 experience with the haydays of 2015 or even way back on EQ live pvp.

Live and let live.

It's EQ, the end game is ass everywhere. Red is people in stupid gear chasing you down or Blue is playing a game of "I touched it 1st".

You're level 23 my man. Wait until you are 60 getting chased by 10 windstrikers and people cheating. I know the fast xp is fun and all but the end game is ass here.

^ was a non factor for the short time he played on red

Because red players pretend they are troll proof and good. The regular red player > [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Being good at EQ in 2020 is nothing to harp about sir.being bad at eq in 2020 well there you have issues.

The only ones returning are people trying to grief players while they wait for the next server to launch.

This post isn't intended to discourage people from playing at all, I think red99 is really good to feel an itch for a certain group of people, primarily people seeking a quick nostalgia fix since Red99 has an easier endgame situation than Blue. Having said that, red tends to go through phases where the pop temporarily goes up a bit and people talk about how it's on the rise as if it's going to hit 500+ (or even 100+ pop) periodically and it never does as the newcomers quickly burn out after getting their fix of nostalgia or get burnt out on the toxicity and emptyness of the overall server.

tl;dr play and enjoy the box but don't look too much into periodic spikes in pop as overall trends

Its called boxing and stable quest. The server is dead as fuck and populated by the same 30 retards that can't let it go. Enjoy.

what?

He's trying to show you how most of the remaining pop on red99 boxes toons, so yes there appears to be "70" players showing at server select but really its 40 players tops. As 30 of those are boxed toons. There are guides passed around between people on setting this up. It's as ezy as 1.2.3, a.b.c.

Those days when there's 30-40 pop on usually indicates maybe 20-30 real players...let that sink in....EverQuest with 2 expansions and you're playing it with 20 other people.

But if its your cup tea - enjoy.
