Why not switch?

[tnttoken]

Why continue to play here when an organized guild could move to red and literally free farm Kunark and alot of smaller Velious stuff.

Leveling is alot faster and camps are open all over the place. A guild could come in and level together and have a blast.

Some of people's biggest complaints are that they will be griefed by deleveled epic rogues and twinks...
First, twinks literally just park their chars in main zones and log in to see if anybody is there and then log off. Some of those zones are Unrest/Mistmoore/City of Mist/KC. If you come in with the understanding that you should avoid those zones when you are new then your life will be great, twinks will not travel to obscure zones to hunt you.
Second, they made it so you can't use epic until level 46 so there are alot less twinks griefing than there used to be (again will mention that twinks won't travel too far to hunt you).
Third, besides the very few idiot twinks with daddy issues most twinks are there for a kill... once they get it they usually leave you alone to continue your business. Very few will continuously grief you over and over.

If you are bored on blue and would love to start fresh.
If you are tired of camps constantly being full and having to wait your turn to level.
If you want exp to come fast and have a more dangerous experience then just mindlessly leveling and getting gear to do nothing with it.
Then get a good group of people/guild that doesn't want to wait in line all day for a mob and has a little bit thicker skin and give Red a try.

Because there are like 15 people on there, half of them retarded, the other half have nothing to do so will just try and grief you all day.

Most people play Blue because of the population. Everquest is absolute shit without any population.

Because RED is dead, man. Part of the fun is the socialization with other players. It doesn't matter that the camps can cause frustration here, it's better to have too many than not enough.

Red server ran all their own players off and now they just want fresh meat

Most of the people that post with such strong opposition to red are the ones that tried it, leveled to 15 (which takes 2-4 hours for a new player) in a popular PvP zone and got killed, then logged off forever because nobody would hand them gear or money or hold their hand.

You do have to have somewhat of a brain to survive red I will add.

Because EQ PvP is not balanced and not fun.

As someone who played red awhile ago with a static, up until mid 40's, I will say that having completely open camps everywhere is great. Wonderful to be able to pick what you want to camp without fear of someone already being there. Although if you want to get camps in popular zones, then you will have to expect to deal with annoyances...

Literally, the server was boring when there was barely 100 ppl on, I can only imagine what it would be like now with 40 people typically. That said, the zones people would want to themselves is where the twinks and griefers hang out looking for fresh meat. So your still going to out of the way locations, like on blue.

The only real difference is rather than interacting with other people to buy,sell,xp, etc. as you would on blue, you end up only interacting with people when they try to kill you. It gets really boring after awhile, especially when those people attack you mid pull. So huge, wide open places making it feel like an empty world other than the things that wanna kill you.

All in all, I'm amazed that the staff has allowed the server to remain. That they haven't taken the server, wiped it and recreated it as some form of team server that everyone seems to want is amazing. It really shows a lack of appreciation for EQ PvP (Which really only works in a team format) and a lack of caring for what the future of the overall P99 community is. It's theirs to do what they wish with but certainly not caring about improving things.

Why not try red? Cause vast open spaces with no other people to interact with other than those that want to shit in your cereal isn't fun or engaging. (Not that doing the same content in pvp or pve is either but at least on blue you have some people to meet and interact with in more than just 1 way, while doing the same content over and over and over and over and over and over again.)

Lies like these do not help your cause. Most of the people who post with such strong opposition to red are people who realize that red is full of toxic people who are now reduced to very annoyingly spamming the boards with threads trying to get anybody at all to play with them.

Casey still on red? I liked that guy.
