Red just has its own kind of bullshit you gotta deal with(this isnt a conversion point or anything) Some is just more tolerable than other. For instance how people suggest moving zones...on blue you get asshole druids/bards PLing and jacking everything and you usually have to move until a GM responds(which they can be quick about sometimes) That said, red's been fun even though the druid destroying BB...was my group haha. Made one of them quit on the spot, the others are still playing(myself included) | |||

1) EQ PVP mechanics suck. I'd rather play DAOC.
2) Giving up all my gear, running around naked, and being slaughtered by 5 year twinks | ||

I played a lot on Sullon on Live.
I dont think EverQuest was ever properly designed however the main reason I'm staying away from Red is cheating (I dont really see how P99 team could do what Sony/Verant failed to), delevelled raid geared alts and, at a Kunark Era, godlike Alts in general since pretty much everything is dropable. All-nodrop + no level loss rule would probably make me play on Red but I highly doupt the EQ classic community would like it. | ||

What you're describing does exist and it's definitely cheesy/griefery but it's not cheating. I think the main issue is the perception that the server is full of assholes and trolls. I'm sure it's being cleaned up but how do you reconcile the "red is fine, come have fun" mindset and also tell someone "well if a level 20 is killing you with a level 60 Druid backing him up you can just log off or go somewhere else" mindset? EQ pvp is fun. It was the most fun gaming experience I've ever had, but I don't feel that p99 red will recapture that feeling for me especially due to (in no particular order) the toxic playerbase, deleveled uber twinks that are basically unkillable, level restrictions that enable out of range healers which ruins pvp, and low population.

If you played on Red 1999 in the past, why did you quit?
I've dabbled a few times, never made it to level 5 though. I love the idea of the added element of intelligent opponents, but my playtime is extremely limited (probably < 10 hours a month, usually in 1-2 hour sessions) and starting from scratch in a barren (yet harsh) world is just hard to get past. Especially since my class of choice would be rogue, which makes playing in these conditions even tougher. Also, some of the stuff seen in global OOC is pretty pathetic, but /ignore works fine for that. What did you like about the server? Again, I love the idea of the added element of intelligent enemies. I put time into pretty much every live PVP server at one point or another (Rallos, Vallon, Sullon) although I never made it too far for the same reasons I described above. Starting from scratch in a harsh environment is just hard and occasionally frustrating, knowing I have my "main" that is already somewhat established on another server. Would you want to play again? I'm certainly tempted to play again, although it really comes down to my extremely limited playtime. The EXP bonus is definitely a step in the direction towards attracting me to this server. I'm also interested in the Teams server if that ever comes to fruition.
