Red99 needs..

[Swish]

...fresh players, ready to give EQ pvp a try. If your only experience of red is the P99 forums then you're getting the wrong picture.

Consider red pals. Just consider it.

I actually gave Red a shot the other day. Rolled an Iksar monk. I played for about 45 minutes and never saw another person in FoB. Then I logged off. :(

That's unusual, there's normally some Azrael/Nilly floating around if no other lowbies.

LAWD, bring some new recruits to red...free them from the shackles of the EC tunnel full of greed, full of tyranny, full of evil.

I think people do not play on red because it is bad.

Any entirely unplayable classes on red?

The idea of pure PvP in EQ has never made much sense to me. The game is engineered with such a dramatic penalty for death to make PvE more interesting, along with being among the biggest general timesinks in videogame history. I have a hard time imagining that the fun of red offsets the insane amount of frustration it must cause.

Nothing is unplayable, but there's certainly a ladder of difficulty. Enchanters struggle to land spells as everyone gears for magic resistance. Rangers aren't terrible but they struggle too.

Wizard or druid would help you get around and they do well in pvp (I leveled a DE wizard naked and made it to 49 no problem), necros can level naked and be fine but not the best for pvp (fear isn't usable). Shaman life is similar to necro in the sense that yellow text isn't easy to come by, people tend to zone before they die :p

Red always needs more clerics :)

I would suggest starting a solo class or a healer first. im an sk and its pretty hard to find a group but not impossible on my downtime I do quest gear. I think it kinda equals out especially with the faster xp rates

I think everyone needs to understand how boring blue is, and play red. Yes people kill you, get over it! Grab your shit, say LNS or camp off and try another character, if you can't get your body right away. There was a reason all the other pvp servers back in the day had population. They weren't little bitches about it. There is no con to dying. Just get your shit together and come play red. Plus think about it at least there isn't any hackerfaggots.

TLDR: Stop playing blue, come red less hackers than back in 99-00

[fastboy21]

if you all were really having fun you wouldn't be here posting and looking for players...you'd be playing.

Much bigger player pool. Looking at the typical numbers online, there is probably a similar if not bigger proportion of players on red vs blue here than there were on red servers vs blue servers back in the day. ~15% of total players is pretty decent from that perspective.

Might be tough to recruit from blue considering how different the playstyles are. I guess there is some overlap (teaming up with assholes to be the biggest asshole you can be to other assholes) but with blue you could mostly avoid that by not joining a raiding guild.

[DarkwingDuck]

I played rallos zek almost my entire career on live..
It was ok.. But not wearing gear (50% point of the game) became tiresome, with multiple Gankers there to take ur best items and ur cash...
Pvp is one thing.. Griefing and corpse camping etc, is another. And we know the mindset of "a lot" of pvpers.
Beside if u want good pvp.. I suggest ESO.. Albeit the pve is kinda crappy.. The pvp is a blast.

[heartbrand]

Even the pve is better on red tho. Nihilum will end up getting the vast majority of p99 firsts in velious.

[Bazia]

thats mostly due to the 0 competition aspect

close to test server status at this point

[Swish]

Same could be said for blue tho... why are we even looking at the forums? ;)

this is pretty true. I started red about 3-4 months ago, I'm not even any good at pvp. I log into my characters on blue and I just get bored after 3 or 4 kills; it's the strangest thing.

I honestly like the low population; almost all camps are open, possibilities are almost endless.

No item loot to worry about; and jewelery merchants are far more common than I ever knew.. so don't be like me and lose 240 plat on your first pvp death :P

P99 is more casual friendly. But I don't understand why a casual wants to spend 6 months to hit max level. I'm 37 after 3 casual weeks. There was tough times with the lack of people but it gets better high level. At launch it was pretty fun but it dimmed down because of the terrible xp rate along with pvp. Blues just couldn't handle the grind with the frustration of getting griefed.

More groups on red than on the average WoW server.

Rapture almost never fails to land, though, and in organized PVP that's just absolutely brutal (also having rogues / monks stay strapped with VOG / SOS is nice)

True, but 1v1 enchanters have the option of...

1. Fleeing
2. If they know their opponent has terrible resist gear, actually trying to nuke etc :p

[Yumyums Inmahtumtums]

Ehh if you're prepared and going against sub 55's you can always double weakness them. Dat poor-mana snare is pretty goog when it needs to be.
