The annual please play on red thread

[heartbrand]

I know I know you've seen this thread a thousand times. This thread isn't for everyone including people who just hate the thought of being killed in pvp. But if your hesitance has been because there's no groups or starting out is tough, Red Dawn a guild on red99 has on avg 25-30 people of all levels on daily with PL groups and weekly planar clears. Yes I know this is a shameless attempt at begging or coaxing players to come to red99 to my guild. Flame away but give it a shot!

come on over

[The Situation]

Annual? You guys beg for players every other day.

[heartbrand]

please don't confuse norrathian years with earth years

[pharmakos]

Can confirm I've spent many hours on red today, and been enjoying it... monk has done 11 levels (19-30). Good time to play pals :)

Is this the part where the vocal minority on red try to pretend the population is thriving while endless people continue to spam "WTT Red plat for Blue plat!"

[DarkwingDuck]

I'd try red a bit.
I did my entire stay on live on rallos zek, and my entire play onp99 on blue...
It is nice to not have to watch ur back..
What are loot rules etc?

[Swish]

No item loot, no XP loss on PvP death.

PvP death = respawn with 0% mana.

Red population on a steady increase lately. XP bonus boosted red last night.

I play both servers, and have traded out red plat for blue in the past (notably to Gaffin to get him started)... but continue to make plenty of red plat, /shrug.

swish forgot to mention that there is coin loot on R99

also, when a pvp death occurs there is a global broadcast stating the names of the winner, the loser, and the zone.... i.e. you kill me and everyone on the server would see:

[PVP] Pharmakos <Guild> has been defeated by DarkwingDock <Guild> in East Commonloands!

[Swish]

Yeah don't be carrying around more than a few plat. Lost 37pp the other day, was heartbroken :p

so I tried it. Made a character on red. Got him to lvl 15....

- have not met a single person I could group with
- when I asked high lvls in my zone for buffs I got turned down every single time
- sent few tells with general question regarding pvp rules.....did not get a single answer
- had to watch all the BS in ooc
- got bored and left.


summary: red is boring as fuck, its a waste of time. People are generally not friendly, not helpful and there is very few of them, most is high lvl so you will never see them - just dont bother them asking for buffs! They are busy and have no time to help new guys...yet they come here telling everyone to come and try it.....mkay

red sucks blue sucks

go outside

its weird, but the typical attitude on red is "only give them help if they don't ask for it"

lol

[Jimjam]

I'm not prime time, but the last few times I've logged on to red it's been a bit sparse at the bottom. Crush, GFay, LFay and so on all just 1 player in zone.

Using buffs as a crutch for levelling is pretty lame though, I guess I am a masochist :p.

[Aaron]

If nothing else, global ooc would turn me from red. I remember when we had global ooc on blue and it was horrible.

[pharmakos]

a bud of mine said on a different forum "it takes a special sort of mentally disturbed adult to enjoy red"

and its true

[Wudan]

its weird, but the typical attitude on red is "only give them help if they don't ask for it"

so if a naked lvl 6 asks for buffs he will not get them? No wonder not many people want to play there.

[applesauce25r624]

you mean weekly

[pharmakos]

yeah pretty much

i'll personally give my gimpy pally buffs to anyone, but most people don't roll on red looking to make lots of friends...
