Calling All Blue Players

[rusty81]

Got to level 50? at level 60? maybe only level 30 getting that eh what now I'm bored itch?... I am looking for more, I need a challenge against an intelligent mob!

I want to travel in fear, with a group of friends for protection. I have always wanted to kill that jerk! I want to come to the rescue of someone in need?... any of this bothering you because you cant do it in blue!

Well now is the time Give Red a chance! see you there. :eek:

[username17]

You're asking 60s to reroll and start from scratch?

Pass

[Brut]

Would slay just for awful pun in avatar.

[rusty81]

You're asking 60s to reroll and start from scratch?

Pass

No need to restart, but if you roll an alt why not make it on Red try something new!

[rusty81]

Pfft... Whatev! I'm sexy and you Gnome it... :p

[Legend]

have a 60 55 45 and a plethora of pixels on blue

after you defeat/beat blue you come to red

I have 2 months ago

didn't take more than a month of good grinding to lvl out the hardest slowest lvl class combination in game to end game

most blue players are just bad and would rather sit in ec tunnel so let them

its a disease you can't save them

[Pint]

Agreed, stop trying to "save" us

[Vohl]

I gave Red a try. PvP can be thrilling. Ultimately, I went back to Blue because it just isn't fun to be repeatedly ganked by twinked-out sociopaths while trying to eke out some XP or loot your corpse.

Red is failing for a reason. Rules are a small part of it. The bigger part of it is that those who now use the server have selected who they want to play with them, and have driven all others off.

[freez]

pity reply for all the bluebies that didn't make it to 60 on red.

I pou a fou in my Fanta for u pals

[heartbrand]

I'll never get why fellow red players think this is a good way to recruit to our server

[freez]

im not trying to recruit.

obvi

[rusty81]

Hey I am just saying give it a shot is all. Not talking down about any blue players at all I understand what goes on in red with the griefing. But hey Safety in numbers!

just saying looking for something more, need a bit more challenge well NOW IS THE TIME!.

and as a new player only level 22 so far I have been greeted with nothing but kindness on red.

give it a shot fill the newb zones and have some fun!

try something new!

[Ahldagor]

I'll never get why fellow red players think this is a good way to recruit to our server

they could convert us after death

[Tenlaar]

How about you play on red for more than two weeks before you start making these stupid posts, kthx.

theres a lot on blue that don't speak english worth a shit either

[rusty81]

Well I tried Blue and was greeted with Jerks...

Red nothing but kindness.

so for those of you who want more in your EQ gaming come on over.

[Tecmos Deception]

Really? I didn't notice this in my years of playing p99.

[Splorf22]

I guess it's been over a week since the last 'you blue players suck, come to red so we can shit on you and call you names' post.

[rusty81]

For one, I am not saying BLUE PLAYERS SUCK infact they are probably some of the more hardcore players out there...

Just saying Don't forget if you want more with your EQ experience give PVP a try.

why do people keep taking this off subject.

[Vidar]

red=72 players
blue=632

Why play on deserted server? Any game, pvp or not, 72 players is a crap population. this is an MMO. Low pop MMO's not so good.

Share the love make an alt on pvp!

[Splorf22]

The big difference between red and blue is the percentage of people who derive their primary sense of self-worth from their status in Norrath. On Blue, even though guys like Tiggles are disproportionately visible, I'd say this is less than 10% of the population. On red, it's more than 50%.

[Tecmos Deception]

Damn Splorf. For some reason, I never realized you had so many posts.

[Picked]

I just don't understand the allure to PvP in an MMO. It's like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Play Mortal Kombat if you want 1v1 stuff. Or even an FPS game if you're into the competition against each other. MMO's were built to work together to achieve something. But there are plenty of people who like it I suppose. Different strokes for different folks!

[Stinkum]

I was going to start playing Red again but changed my mind based on OP's overuse of this emoticon --> :eek:

-1 pop

you blue players suck, come to red so we can shit on you and call you names.

I really should delete this forum account.

You sound like a little bitch. I feel less masculine for having read your bullshit here. Luckily I play on red, which means my dick is huge and I have balls of steel.

Bluebies are crybaby shit players don't come to my server.

To me man, it gives a "real feel" to it. A sense of Danger from another unpredictable source. not just another mindless Mob.

just adds a little spice.

Plus what happens on Non-Pvp when you have played for a while and have all the leet gear? what do you do with said leet gear? let people look at it? that is what does it for me. PvP players IMO will get more out of Endgame than non-pvp <-- just my opinion this is not fact.

Ok, we all know EQ is not real life (well to most it isn't) but it "emulates" a real life fantasy scenario. So to make it as true to life as it can be you almost need pvp. you are not only fighting the monsters (that to be honest really don't bother anyone unless you invade their lairs) you are also fighting the common people, the thieves, liars, taken to a next level the murderers just like in any scenario where people exist.

C'mon you have to ask yourself how many times has that guy/gal said something or did something on purpose that just pissed you off... Said something offensive or trained mobs on you "kill steals" what can you do? i guess nothing but /zone complain about how he or she is an ass.

again these are just my views and why i love PVP. The irony is I never go pick a fight i just like the chance that if i want to the choice is there. True Sandbox.

as far as this
"MMO's were built to work together to achieve something."

same thing happens in PVP. except when that person does something to hinder your progress you can do something back.

it also brings people together to work together in groups to be safe, and forms stronger bonds not just the thanks for the group and never see you again. PvP has its pros and cons but so does Non-Pvp.

i guess Evil and Good after all is just a point of view.

[Tecmos Deception]

MMO's were built to work together to achieve something.

Video games were built to see who could keep the pong ball from getting past them. Anything else is a dumb design. Obviously.

I literally just shit myself after seeing this...

Well played sir, Well played indeed... :eek:

[Humerox]

Most of the people on blue that were curious have tried red and it doesn't fit their style of gameplay. They know we're here...all this antagonizing doesn't serve any purpose at all other than to reaffirm their opinion of red.

For anyone that quit red due to resists or mechanics...we have Alecta resolving those issues ACTIVELY. Just fyi

Have a great day! :)

One reason to pvp on an mmo instead of mortal combat or an fps is you have to put time and effort into building your character. you cant just log on and be everyone's equal in one or two hours.

Another reason, not sure if this is the case with p99, but in my opinion having penalties for death is HUGE. I hate when games have no penalty for death. Wow basically has no penalty. Sure you have to spend some gold but if you aren't dumb you can have more than enough gold early on to cover your deaths(not sure if there even is a penalty for a pvp death). I personally prefer games where you can loot armor and weapons. That makes shit real. FPS you can just run shoot die and you are back to running in less than 3 seconds and can be dead in another 3 and up again in 3 etc etc.

[bloodmuffin]

Tried red for a while.

Ended up getting corpse camped by a twinked gnome in NK, then his 60 Pling druid friend. A good 3 deaths and I had enough.

[quido]

I love red.

[heazels]

I'm assuming you meant red teams when it comes out, cause red is retarted getting destroyed by a wizard invis with ice comet is no bueno

[Retti_]

Ice comet like 7 second cast time bro

[Humerox]

There are no penalties for PvP deaths anymore. This doesn't mean that you can't be xp griefed with mobs, tho.

Yellow text is now also in for the ego-centric crowd, lol. Leaderboards, etc.

But then again you can be griefed with mobs on blue...

[Faywind]

I tried red and really wanted to like it but its just not fun playing by yourself. I have trouble finding groups during off-peak times on blue where the population is ~300ish so playing on red with 50-100 people max is just impossible...

Red is unfortunately a dead server. Hopefully pvp-teams will be fun, but for now, I will play blue while we wait for that server.

[Retti_]

Afking and auto attacking mobs is hella fun

[mtb tripper]

you dont even know who i am

[SCB]

I'm so pumped for pvp teams. Can't wait to roll an alt.

Red99 needs to die asap though. Make room for the new.

[NegaStoat]

That's the point though. Red won't die when teams are opened up. Old server is planned to be merged with the new server 10 or so months in after the launch. Yay. No thanks.

Again, if that changes, super. I'll roll on the new server in a heartbeat. If not, screw it. I'm well enough informed of all the unacceptable garbage that red was built on - intentional or not.

Don't let a few bad eggs ruin it for you. Most are kind people on red.

[fadetree]

PvP as a playstyle is a blast. I like it better than PvE....unless the game doesn't support it well. EQ does not. A custom server with a bunch of mods to balance PvP might be cool...I'd probably give that a whirl. But standard EQ PvP? Nu uh.

[Vohl]

Don't let a few bad eggs ruin it for you. Most are kind people on red.

This is absolutely not my impression. When I switched back to Blue a few months ago, there were very few left on Red that had any personality other than that of a prison serial rapist.

[myriverse]

There's really nothing new about it.

Pretty sure we all know R99 is there. We just don't want to play on it.

[Picked]

Bluebies are crybaby shit players don't come to my server.

And you wonder why nobody plays on the PvP server. Seems like everyone over there has this kind of mentality.

People that say Blue is no fun and there is no point after you gain all the pixels is about as redundant as the concept of PvP itself. Don't get me wrong defeating someone in PvP might be thrilling I guess. But it doesn't accomplish a damn thing in the end does it?

You guys make it sound as if PvP somehow serves more of a purpose than PvE. But if that's what you like then by all means keep it up. Just don't get all butt hurt when someone doesn't agree that by ganking some random noob should get your rocks off.

Please do not judge all men on one mans actions. I think a lot of people who want to try PVP are just scared because of accusations based one a few bad seeds. Of course we want the population higher, and yes there are jerks the same can be said about people on the blue server or if it existed the green, purple & orange server. Jerks are everywhere they are unavoidable. Take a look at this post you can see legit post from new players.

All I was attempting to do is bring a few people over the "the dark side" as you would call it. To just try something different. Doesn't mean drop your level 60 character on blue of course not but to add a little variety in your gaming experience is all. Who knows you may like it. There is something to be said about wandering the lands and not knowing what is going to happen with nothing but your small group of friends to watch each others back. I call it excitement and I am just trying to share the wealth ;)

...although I will say if there's a merge at some point on the PvP Teams timeline, you'll all be kicking yourselves for not levelling on red at the moment with the XP bonus.
