Nearly 200 people on red off peak today. Can you count 200 in the screenie? :rolleyes:

Don't troll. We've made big strides on Red across the board in all categories, one of which is population. We're regularly seeing well over 200 nightly and growing.

We (the staff and the players) have put a lot of effort into making Red99 an enjoyable place to play again - don't discredit that work by trolling the box in server chat =X.

[Faron]

I've been thinking about doing that. When I'm medding after a quad I'll tab out to another game, but when I come back the EQ window will be black. Alt-tab will maximize and correct the blackness, but it's rolling the dice because probably 75% of the time the game will crash. I'm guessing I can switch back and forth between red and blue without the blackout.

[sunmilk]

That screenshot about totals red's population :/.

I would say your observation would be closer to truth if you were referring to red's population about 3 months earlier, when I started. At that time the population was literally around 70-80 during peak weekday hours and as a new player I really wondered if I could actually have fun on a server with sub 100 population. No one was in the newbie zones (OBVIOUSLY), but there was some sort of hope that maybe at higher level (or at a later time with higher population) I would be able to enjoy red.

Anyway, the population has tripled, *nearly quadrupled* since I started playing. During peak hours I am seeing always 200+, but more recently 240-250 people. Compared to the 70-80 at peak times when I started (and questioned if I would have any lasting interest in) the server, the red server is flourishing. And I have to say that this is LARGELY because of the most recent patch that was released on red, of which the massive exp/grouping ++bonus overhaul was a large component.

In short, it is disrespectful to the staff to make comments like this when they are the ones expending so much effort to bring fun and longevity to the red server. Your commentary comes off as some mixture of bitter and jealousy, made all the more obvious since it is completely lacking in fact, both in a spot and longitudinal sense. Trust me, I understand you intended hyperbole but your sentiments (words quoted) are practically memetic within the blue community, and really capture a sort of sibling-jealousy you guys get when you see GMs giving love to their OTHER server. Or when you see fellow blewbs dipping their foot in that nasty, nasty abomination of a server -- RED. It's okay guys, different strokes for different folks.

But again, it's really disrespectful to the GM staff. They have done some amazing work since I started playing here, and I can only hope that things continue on as is.

Hope they helped ;):)

If any new red players manage to trade their blue plat for red and want some decent starter JC'ed items I'll absolutely make them up for cheap. Usually on weekends as Euro/US play times tend to clash otherwise :p

I am wary of people cashing in on generosity, so don't ask for 10 HP rings etc for your 4 other friends :p

I don't play on Red, and I don't plan to. The recruiting efforts in the general section used to bug me, but they don't anymore as long as the post title has "Red" in it. It gives me the option to skip clicking on it entirely. Yay.

The server staff is nothing less than amazing, btw. P1999 blows doors on old retail. The GM's on Fenin Ro just seemed so angry lol.

If you don't want a red/blue feud, you may want to ask your red buddies to quit trolling blue threads on a daily basis. Can't ask one side to play nice when the other is shitting in everyone else's pudding.

With that said, bump for my red pals!

Every single fucking thread on blue that has some form of a problem, be it KSing, poopsocking, or ninja looters has 2-3 reds on it going "roll red pathetic blubies, we don't have these problems there you pathetic blubies." I don't think I have EVER seen a blue comment like that on the red forums, yet it literally happens EVRY SINGLE FUCKING BLUE THREAD. I'm sure I'll be flamed with all sorts of "mad blubie" comments for this.

Few, if any, red players should be coming over here to do that now outside of RnF. If you see it in Server Chat, and it's unprovoked, let us know.

Actually you'll find Flamewraith (or other bluebie) initiating, then red players defending the red box. Only takes one mad blue player to spark a reaction (and then blame it on the red players).

Delicious tears as always in these threads, don't get mad at the red server... come and give it a try.

Kinda hard to not flame when every single day there is a new red thread in blue forums, we get it, your server sucks ass and would die without the exp bonus. If we wanted to play on red we would be playing on red, please stop with the stupid recruitment threads, we have seen it over 100 times this year.

TLDR shits old.

Have you considered trying red to let out some of the frustration you're feeling over these threads?

I don't play red. If any of the posts that are clearly red themed annoy you to this extent, do not click on them. You can't get mad at someone else for willfully reading material that you claim you do not want. Don't read them. Move along. Go to RnF and make a big thread about how much you hate it.

[Glenzig]

This has gotten to a breaking point, so I'm putting out a final warning to all involved.

1) Cross server recruitment threads are not going anywhere. If Blue/Red community members want to promote their respective servers on these boards, they may do so. This does not mean you need to spam the forums with 100 threads. I haven't really seen that happening (until today, when a handful of people decided a 15 year old elf-sim forum was a great place for satire).

2) If you're going to post a cross-server promotion thread, keep it clean. Do not attack either server or it's respective players. We are all here to play Everquest. Each server provides it's own special flavor and helps different people achieve what they'd like to achieve on this Project. There is no "right" way to enjoy Project 1999. Let's be mindful of that moving forward.

3) There will be no more antagonizing members of another server by posting negative comments in their respective promotion threads. Too often I've seen:

OP: Come play here! It's great!
Poster1: harhar your server is terrible
Poster2 (defending OP): at least we <insert whatever here>
Poster1: See harhar that proves it, terrible

If I see anyone doing this outside of an RnF thread, your forum account will be banned. If you don't have something nice to say, take it to RnF. If you don't think people should play on <insert server here>, take it to RnF. If you had a bad experience on serverX 10 months ago and want to let everyone know that's the way it still is, take it to RnF.

We're going to keep this clean and civil from here on out. I have no problem removing people from both sides for violating these simple, easy to follow rules. Don't test me on this, because I <3 you and will absolutely remove you from these forums if I have to.

Lastly, thanks to everyone who cares about the Project enough to respect it's staff and it's servers. Special thanks to everyone out there who couldn't care less about all of this, and/or don't even know what I'm talking about. I love you most of all.

[GnashingOfTeeth]

Posting itself is fine.

The negative dribble that flows out as the thread goes, is indicative of the perception of what RED was or is... the gutter. I played there, quite some time ago, would not return, regardless of changes.

But to each his own, I do feel to impose on the blue forums and say don't read the red threads is well... rude. Way to many flames have been started, to many assholes exposed.

I would prefer to see advertising on blue in threads that are solely posted by GM's and Mods, and locked. I would have no issue with that. Advertise away, as long as it is staff.

2 cents

[Swish]

GMs aren't likely to post interesting videos or screenshots from recent happenings on red. It's a good recruiting tool and a nice PSA of what's happening over there :p

The only drawback to the current setup is some of the blue community are intent on flaming and then blaming their anger on it being in the wrong forum and getting mad despite being told not to vent/troll.

Anyway are you stuck in the tunnel on blue? Hadden due in the next 2 hours but you're waiting for him out? Why not roll a toon on red and get the best of both worlds...? ;)

The longer I play p99 the more I'm glad red exists. At first I didnt like red, cus I just started and I knew nothing. I thought that if people liked red, would they leave blue? would I be wasting my time trying to level up and by the time I get end game, I'll be wishing I was on Red? omg the foma is killing me, the foma!!!!

then I realized who cares this shit is amazing, blue, red, wahtever as long as its p99. p99 is god and I'm going to play this game forever, one day I will create a pvp character and he will be fun to play with.

and all will be good with the world, because both red/blue will exist, and those that know will know that they are both amazing. As will be the inevitable 3rd and 4th server that the next 20 years of p99 will create.

The crappy gear, the lack of spells and plat and getting chased around Lesser Faydark in your skin by an uber twink are all worth it with that sweet sweet exp bonus.
