+ it's kind of nice to have a zone to yourself. UNLIMITED EXPERIENCES

False. No experiences involving other people.

But PVP is lame ... Haven't done PVP on EQ since GM events on live but always sucked not to mention no one likes necros in grps.. Might have to roll on here though and try it out not sure if I'm gonna like being ganked though

Pheer, stop trolling in Server Chat. That goes for everyone. Take it to RnF.

If I play on Red, will you guys be nice and not kill me? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

People will kill you, but more often than not you'll find someone to group with instead and start making friends quickly. Then those friends can come help you next time you get attacked. There are so many helpful players on Red it's ridiculous. Of course there's a handful of bad apples, too, but we have these on both servers.

the exp bonus is the part I don't understand. On Sirken's stream a while back it was mentioned that the exp Bonus Red used to have was removed primarily because abusive players who were banned could just roll a new account and get back to max level in about 3 weeks (assuming friends still in game helped).

Yet now the exp bonus is back, in the form of needing to be grouped. Which... a banned person would more than likely use with friends on the server willing to help them out.

So I'm failing to understand exactly what was fixed with the move that was made.

I have no idea why this explanation has become so popular and widespread. Banned players no longer being able to level up quickly was a side-effect, not the primary reason. You can find an exhaustive list/rant of why the XP bonus was removed here. It really had nothing to do with banned players at all, it was about helping to foster a stronger community and reduce the high turnover rate. I think with all the changes that were made (level range reduced, SolB/Perma no level-limit removed, XP, OOC when it eventually starts working as intended) we've been able to accomplish that, along with a strong effort by the Red community to welcome new players and work to fight against the trolls.

pvp not really for everyone

that being said: the appeal is not the xp bonus

on blue, the appeal is gaining levels and items, but the catch is most people dont achieve lv 60. if you do, great, whats next? if you dont, you can have a lot of fun continuing on your journey

if you do ever happen to hit 60, you may find yourself pretty bored. waitin for raid rotation here, some items gained there.. really great fun if you have a good community raid guild

but you can have that community on red. and consider off-raid times.. never being bored at 1-60, always someone to fight, always something to do. alliances are forged, destroyed, guilds rise and fall even without the presence of raid mobs

thats the appeal of red.. its a new dimension to everquest. its not simply about "ganking playesr omg griff u die".. its interesting to see how your grind-work stacks up against another man's. it just is

I see all the words you've typed but the fact that you're in here means you gotta be curious.

Have you considered red? Quell that curiosity?
Have you heard about our lord and saviors Rallos, Tallos, Sullon and Vallon Zek?
