Default What's it like on Red?

I am noticing that the Blue server is extremely populated and it's hard to even go to your favorite zones/camps to level.

I am considering red as an option as it's less populated, but I haven't done PVP much in the past in eq. I imagine it could be a little fun, but I don't think i'd want to be caught up in a server where all you do is pvp.

My question is, is Red more like Blue with a little pvp or does is it a pretty hardcore pvp environment with a little pve?

Would it be a good replacement for blue if I am ok with a little pvp?

Are there any other servers that are similar to Blue but aren't as populated?

Thanks for your feedback.

You wont see that much pvp leveling up

That will change at the 52+ levels

You will get to fight over raid mobs most the times, when those mobs are up if you join one of the 2 contender guilds

I couldnt see myself playing EQ getting in queue for camps or whatever the fuck non-intuitive system they have going on blue to determine camp rotation.

Traditionally sub 40 pvp wasn't too frequent, but the server is changing daily, there's more people around and I'd like to hope that pvp happens among the new players. Avoiding pvp on a pvp server is a crime [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If you like being stuck in a med, kill things, med, kill things routine...you'll enjoy blue more than here.

At any moment someone might zone in and want a piece of you here, whether you're full mana/full health, or just finished fighting a mob and really need to heal/med.

If the thought of having to engage in pvp at a moment when you're not "ready" worries you, then you won't enjoy it here.

Most people are friendly, I know the fights I've had most of the time I have a laugh and a joke afterwards whatever the outcome... but there's people here who don't care.

You can't be corpse camped if you say "LNS" (loot n scoot) in ooc, as you're declaring that you'll loot up and leave the zone.

Honestly I'd just roll a character and see how you like it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Red has pvp and a good group xp bonus which encourages group leveling. Pvp will happen a lot sometimes and other times you won't see much pvp. No matter what side of the two big guilds you join you will see more loot here and dragons then you will on blue.

I played on Quellious from 1999 to 2006 ish- and had no experience with Rallos, or any of the other red servers.

I putted around on blue to about level 10, before giving red a try.

It's worth playing on red.

The EXP bonus alone, if nothing else, makes an insane difference.

The downside is lower pop, which can be good and bad, and in time will be solved by people coming over to enjoy less camped areas, and faster leveling I hope/imagine.

That said, the PVP can be enjoyable, and a nice addition to gameplay- just don't expect not to get ganked once in a while.

Default Good Stuff

Thanks for the info...

I like the sound of it so far. Any additional replies from anyone are appreciated.

Also, say I wanted to try and trade blue money for red money, how hard is that to accomplish? Easy to find someone or kind of painful?

red is a nightmare, its like being stuck in groundhog day with Bill Murray but instead of a cute lil town to cause chaos in, it is really a bunch of sociopath angry no-life neck-beards chain killing one another.

It really is a dream come true
