Joining the Dark (RED) Side.

Any tips besides play a cleric (/veto), don't afk, and expect to get curb stomped a few hundred times?

Appreciate it. Look out for the lowbie necro!

[dethbringre]

That pretty much sums it up sir. /q if you gotta go poop. Take your beatings like a man and don't call for LnS :)

My experience on red in the last month:

Don't let these guys fool you. Leveling up is a bluebie's game on this server, and you need to "get it out of the way" before the real PVP action at the high end. If you're soloing to XP, you can find plenty of great spots to XP in where you'll rarely ever encounter anyone at all. Even if you need to group to XP, most of the people you run into in range want to trade buffs or group up, not PVP. Even people who you find in range who want to fight will often be willing to group up with you after a fight or two.

Avoid places like unrest, solb, guk, KC, and just generally play smart keeping in mind you're on red, and you probably won't die more than a couple dozen times 1-60 unless you are actively seeking out PVP. Pretty sure Tecmos has died under 10 times still over the course of 54 levels.

When you do get killed, big whoop. It's PVP on a PVP server. Pick nearby (but obscure) bind locations for yourself and dying in PVP takes as much time out of your leveling as taking a shit does (unless you're like me and take your laptop to the bathroom with you). Don't get cocky or defensive in OOC unless you really know what you're doing, or else you'll get shit on by people who are better than you and/or trolls.


That's all I've got for now I guess!

Play a wizard, mage, druid, Necro and solo the fuck out of the xp bonus 1-50. Shit will be amazing! wear sunglasses because the futures so damn bright.

Welcome to red, use your / all day :P

[Nodd]

Thanks for the info guys. I look forward to hiding from you all soon!

[dethbringre]

Yeah Tecmos is right you wont find much pvp unless you go to Unrest or Guk. Unrest has Sickpuppy's alts and Guk has FoH. Outside of those two your pretty safe.

[Fame]

go to Unrest or Guk.

[Squire]

Srsly.

[Tassador]

Welcome to the server have fun!

[dethbringre]

I've got a lowbie SK logged in Guk with a bit of gear if you wanna party :)

[Nodd]

I'm still killing fire beetles and putting copper together for spells atm. ;)

[Rheaume]

Tecmos convinced me. Fame added to it. He seems cool from posting tips and generally trying to build the community.

DE Cleric. HMU

[Squire]

Fame is a solid pal.

Shaddox?

Not many DE clerics on the box, lol. Hope peeps give u a helping hand.

[Rheaume]

Shaddoxx and I basically started same time. I hit 5 last night and he was yellow and someone had kicked him some gear.
Nice chap.

[dethbringre]

Everyone likes red that has played EQ previously, think about it, its EQ like you've always played but with more options in gameplay. How many times in the past have you sat at that camp in the past wishing there was something else you could do to stay busy? Keep /who keybound and when you see someone zone in go looking for a fight!

[Nodd]

Well, decided against going DE and am rolling an Iksar Necro.

/bonk self for not going that way to begin with. =)
