Red99 Deals (American Made)

[Buhbuh]

<Holocaust>, premiere guild on Red99, is now accepting entire guilds under our tag that wish to transfer over from blue and start fresh on a less populated server. We are seeking to eradicate our competition and make another blue, so if that sounds like a great time, come on over.

We get epics fast, do VP, all that jazz. It's a great time.

Winter is coming, and Holocaust is handing out fur coats to our men, women and children.

Send tells to Drez, Gongshow, Colgate, Miley or Waspnado in game, or you can PM me here if you're interested/ perhaps collectively as a guild tired of blue.

I love you.

Sincerely,

Pal

[Buhbuh]

I understand some guild leaders will need to discuss things within their ranks, and we can also discuss terms upon your arrival on Red, as it becomes more difficult to handle things as more people fall under one guild tag.

I'll be awaiting your PM's. We can setup basic starter gear for these incoming croots as well. All the JC stuff, you know.

Welcome, baby.

Red99 group XP is seriously insane. It's so strong that you don't normally pvp people at your same level because you would rather group with them than be hostile.

I leveled to 22 before even encountering a hostile player, and it really was my own fault because I was going to Unrest (the zone modifier + group xp bonus = omfg good). There are twinks that PK in the most popular zones, but they become fun raid boss for your group to have to deal with and don't disrupt most XP groups.

Overall, I would say the playerbase on red is taking the game less seriously and having more fun with the game in general. There is no real ForumQuest/intensity about who is camping what or who the camp is going to, because there's a mechanic to deal with that: PvP. PvP for 5 minutes with a loot n scoot or sit there and argue with someone through tells for hours while making sure FRAPS is recording? PvP just makes sense in some cases.

Honestly I think some people just play on Blue99 for the raid drama/ForumQuest aspect of it rather than playing Everquest for fun.

Any group of friends that is just starting out on Project1999 would be foolish to not think about rolling onto Red99, especially with 3+ people.

We're not really big on gearing out folks who haven't shown the initiative or drive to play here. If we do that, it usually ends in someone having these massive expectations and entitlement for gear over the gratitude and humility for actually getting them stuff in the first place.

Happens all the time here, so we've eliminated that from our typical practices.

Basic JC stuff is no big deal, hp rings, possibly jacinth rings, 7 MR bracers, 9MR necks etc etc. But fungis? CoFs? Not happening. Not right out of the gate at least.

I played kirbane on sullon zek and recently im sick and tired of live, ive already got the prog and max level for the new expac that came out on the 28th, i did stay awake for 36 hours and drink 10 pots of coffee tho lol. I dont want you to gear me i do that on my own i just need help leveling, do yall have room for a infamous bard? I would love to send people into the icey depths of the velious waters again.

I destroyed a quivering staff yesterday, damn that weight :(

Stuff like that is trivial to get on red anyway. At lvl 22 you could get a MM group, 8/10 some random guy will help you with your gear if its bad enough.

My first trip to MM on my cloth-geared necro got me an advisor robe, a sac dagger, over 100 plat and a bunch of spells. (praise Drakaris!)

People have no use for hoarding low-middle end stuff on R99, since the number of players on the server is relatively low.

I was disheartened by the toxicity of the forums and ooc at first, but as soon as you find out its 1% loudmouth dumbshits, it makes the other 99% that much more enjoyable.

<Holocaust> still accepting blue guilds that want to give Red a shot. Big or small, all may be safe under our tag and get fat loots forever, especially in Winter.

Join us, sweet princes. Talk with your leadership, raise the idea in Teamspeak, come to our TS and chat. We'll get you set up. It's worth it.

Experience EQ zones and dragons like never before. On top of the corpses of your enemies. Get your PD robe you've always dreamed of but will probably never see on blue.

Don't rule lawyer your gains, take steroids with us and fight others to the death.

Imagine the day you get a T staff on Red and that sweet proc glimmers around another person's character, them spinning in circles while you Innerflame them to their glorious soldier's death. And because of your efforts, you killed the opposing team's main assist in PvP, leaving the rest helpless as you take them down even with their better positioning and gear advantage, and you take from them Phara Dar - the crown jewel of Kunark. A crown drops. You're chosen as the player who would use it best.

Gains.

I don't know about you guys, but this story about taking Phara Dar from another guild made my day. This guy is super handsome and smart.

Blue guilds just now beginning the key process to VP should come to Red en masse.

We only have 3 large guilds, one in planar clear level and two in VP/ everything else. There is lots of room for expansion.

Myabe if we could /copy or /transfer :(

Why? Everyone started with nothing at some point. What's wrong with doing that again on red?

[Buhbuh]

Unnecessary. Leveling is fast. We have ample 60 druids, largely uncamped VP key camps, JCing to get you started.

[Buhbuh]

Think about that bros, your whole guild with a fresh start. Help from the community when not raiding.

Help with planar clears.

Mid range items are given away by everyone on the server. Cane of the tranquil, wu sticks, sword of sky fire - shit like that gets routinely vendored.

If a guild comes over, pick a day and we can get all kinds of shit to start you with. Weapons, hp rings, MR bracers, mid range armor.

Are you tired of not having your threads regularly bumped to the top because of their relevance to blue?

Then on a completely unrelated note, you need to join Red99, the greatest server ever made except for live and probably dozens of others.

Kill friends. Kill enemies. Kill erections.

[Buhbuh]

2-4 wks. For sixty regardless of class. Just gotta prioritize 60.

[Pheer]

[lonmoer]

Is there much trading on the server or do you just pretty much wear what you earn?

[Silent]

It is easy to see why level 60s, with epics and high end gear would not want to swap to red because they think they are losing everything and thinking of all the time and effort itll take to get back to where they were with all the camp checks and such. Only they should realize on red there are no camp checks, most zones are for the taking. Get a group and go do what you like when you want wherever you want, If someone is in your way you kill them or run them off.

I am not in holocaust, But when he says VP loot will be rotting again soon enough he isn't lying. 1-60 for a power player is cake, 1-60 for a casual is 2, maybe 3 weeks at best. Epics are a joke, Cleric/Rogue/Monk/Ench all support/dps classes very easy to knock them out. There is no wait list on Verina Tombs or drama because XYZ guild stole her spawn while you were on it. There is no FTE or hard poopsocking ontop of a boss hoping you get FTE or whatever the hell blue uses.

Judging by your magelo link with gear I can see why you don't want to leave blue, Everything you have invested is here. And I won't lie to say that getting each and every piece of that gear again won't be a pain in ass, SK epic/sow sword etc are still hot commodities on red. But even if you had a quarter of that gear not even a half of it on red, You would be a beast in PVP.

But then again PVP isn't for everyone, Nor is red99. You need a thick skin to deal with some of the few annoying trolls that can be solved with a simple ignore. You need to be able to eat a death because some level 30 epic rogue with a fungi/cof and 200k+ more in gear just ganked your entire group without throwing a hissyfit and giving up. Because it only takes an hour or two and your out of pvp range to them.

Clerics, Enchanters, Shamans are in huge demand on red and will always find a group. More so if you play at the right hours or make friends.

[Dany]

Im really interested to join red but I'd have like 0 pp! What is a good pvp class for noobs to PvP and no PP?

You raise some solid points in your post.
But this paragraph you start off with just misses the point of why I never made the switch. (I tried twice... got to level 19 at launch, and got another character to 50 about a year later).

It's not all about loot for me!
I don't give a shit if I can get full VP gear in 2 weeks. I play on Blue because my buddys are here. We've gone on crazy adventures, we've poopsocked for hours, we've gotten first kills together (god those first-time guild boss encounters with your newly formed ((or newly-able)) guild are sweet), we've gone PH after PH with no named spawn, we've died and we've rezzed, we've gone out of our way at 4 in the morning to get a corpse back, even though nobody wanted to do it. Some of us have been playing together for 3-4 years now...

Even though I barely play any more, I always run into old friends I can have meaningful conversations with any time I log in. Kinda like you just got back to your old neighborhood bar that your hometown friends still visit.

It's a great feeling that Red will never match.

I know people think the easyness of red is a good thing. But there are those that dont. Why would anyone want to be able to level to 60 in 2, maybe 3 weeks at best, and basically have Epic handed to them? Really does sound terrible.

No, but that probably accurately describes a lot of people on there 3rd or 4th level 60.

Or, as you guys on red would know, about a months work of work to get 4 level 60 epic characters?

[Colgate]

you actually think it's a bad thing that on red you don't have to sit in a rotation or poopsock mobs with variance by duck casting call of the hero for 16 hours straight?

that's why people get geared faster; there's not a bunch of bullshit hoops to jump through to get raid mobs

It's not exactly that fast unless you have a lot of hookups and connections and play quite a bit every single day. As someone who doesn't have a ton of time to play, I log on for a few hours every other night or so and I'm only like level 21.

Haven't gotten terribly lucky in the group department yet, but I still enjoy the pacing quite a bit better. PVP also adds some excitement to an otherwise relatively boring experience.

Poopsocking at end-game sounds like the worst, I'd rather not partake in that. I'd rather level much more quickly and get to enjoy all the parts of the game I didn't get to enjoy when I was 15.

Had a chat with 4 dudes on the R rotation on blue that just came over to Red.

Honestly, I remember problems that blue servers would have back on live, all these insane novel length discussions about very similar problems people are having on the current blue server, and when I really thought about it, PvP was virtually the solution to every single problem. Couldn't ever go back once I came to PvP servers.

Obviously there are other issues on a PvP server (trains, griefing, scumbaggery in different ways from blue), but it's much more interesting overall. Gotta pay way more attention to things you'd never think about on blue.

You pals should try it. Still accepting guilds under our tag. PM about it, come have a chat in TS. We got all the info you're curious about.

A little anecdote on why I'm a total Red convert:

The other night I was in the Graveyard at Castle Mistmoore. I was grouped up with two Rouges, an Enchanter, a Cleric, and a Bard. I had the enviable group role of Ranger, playing main tank/puller. Killer team DPS, great EXP.

Now here comes the Red part. The Gnome rouge, a guy I had grouped with earlier, starting making playful comments on general Ranger inadequacy. The next time I pulled from the pit, I rooted the mob halfway and made my usual running entrance through the gate.

All my mates prepared for the monster but instead saw me alone sprint up to the Gnome, stand a moment for suspense, then kick the poor guy right in the head. I never swung a weapon or cast a spell. Just a single *You kick GnomeRouge for 8 points of damage!*

He knew why I kicked him, and we had a laugh as my root broke and the mob came running.

On many other occasions, when I was in a group with plenty of healing and downtime while mobs repopped, I'd fight other melees in the group to half health or so while we waited, often without warning them first.

You can't be playful like that on Blue.

[Buhbuh]

I tried playing on red even after holo said they would hook me up with newb gear and phat lewtz, no one ever responded to my pms/tells and i got to level 27ish before getting bored and quitting from not having anyone to play with or talk to

doubt this happened, as I have no PM's from you, and I'm the most active on these particular boards/ in this thread.

it sounds like you just wanted handouts, didn't engage with any other players and have no real interest in playing red though, just from the tone of what you wrote.

[coki]

To be fair I only Pmed like one person on the boards and sent maybe 1 or 2 tells , I am a halfling cleric i think in innothule swamp trying the bard diet with not much luck, name is Pills

edit: not looking for handouts but some people to play with would be nice

coki you really need to group to get those levels quicker - and you'll make friends and get a regular thing going most likely.

Failing that, at least get involved in nuking undead as opposed to living mobs for better mana efficiency.

Advertise in ooc, "mid 20s cleric lfg" etc. Most likely someone will be able to port you if you're not local to a group that responds.

At least they're getting banned. I guess it just comes down to whether you would rather deal with passive morons or aggressive morons. Each server has its drawbacks.

My First Weekend on Red - Loving It.


So I openly asked advice on rolling an Iksar Warrior and was persuaded not to. So I compromised, and rolled a Gnome Warrior: Yoghurt.

I've been subject to some great generosity and have a couple of decent weapons and a full set of patch work (*flex) topped of with a bronze helm. I've also witnessed some brutal PvP and been ruthlessly murdered by one of my own kind.

Brilliant fun and looking forward to more if the same!

Yoghurt.

PS: You are all absolutely bonkers.

So my little level 2 ogre warrior on red was PK'd right outside of Oggok. I was standing by the guards and this ogre (red to me with a huge red sword - I was in noob tunic and splintering club) had a friend pull the guards away and ran in wailing on me. At level 2? Why?

I don't know, seems an unlikely event to happen. Good thing it probably inconvenienced you of like 20 seconds of time considering you don't lose any exp and you were more than likely bound right there.

If you bring 3 people to group with and level in rags you can still literally get max level in a month and get better gear than you have here in another month or two. Plus you can slay your enemies when they annoy you instead of crying about it.

Try it.

[feanan]

ROFL!

Level 60 in two weeks with epics, most loot camps open, VP for all...and you can call loot and scoot when you want?

ROFL, yeah, blue is the pussy server, we can see that can't we?

[Genedin]

Please look in my post history and find where I have said anything negative about the blue server. Boy you are upset and I don't know why.

I left the blue server when I heard about the amount of poop socking that goes on if you want to see end-game content because that's why I play this game.... to do things I didn't get to do as a kid when I played.

R99 offers that to everyone not just those who have tons of time and history on the server.

I hope your day gets better.

I don't know, Holocausts guild recruitment thread specifically states that it prefers Level 60 poopsockers and neckbeards, and requires the batphone as a mandatory staple.

They're becoming like a Red variant of TMO.

So (Mob X) spawns, and Holo/Azrael want a piece of it.... both know the other is going to be there. Naturally, not only is there the mob in question to kill but a decent opportunity for a big team pvp fight.

That's the draw of red, it's not all about small scale pvp...and its why a lot of red players want the player base to grow. You haven't experienced red until you've seen 50-60 deaths in DL, and getting more involved can only make it more fun.

Still the haters will try to shoot the server down, but numbers are growing - pop continuing to grow towards/past 250 at peak time.

When I started on blue there were probably 500ish on the server. You'd all still slate that number if you just "hate red" without having tried it.

I am giving Red a try. But I'm not at all privy to the idea of being PK'd at a camp and having to "loot and scoot" and give it up, or being corpse-camped or bind-camped. Classic EQ is hard enough as it is, harder even that SWGEmu or Ultima Online TSA.

[Swish]

If you call LNS then they'll get suspended/banned if they don't let you loot your corpse...all part of the PNP ;)

As for not wanting to give a camp up, be sure that you can hold it down - stick with 1-2 pals and you'll have much more of a chance than doing it solo.

[Pudge]

If you're out of pvp range at a camp, then it's yours and the blue rules for holding a camp apply. So a level 60 isn't allowed to steal your camp (get evidence though if you intend to report them)

I've literally never heard of this happening on Red. Must have been a freak occurrence.

Obviously a twinked griefer. But calling in a friend to pull the guards away was the 'funny' part of it. Why piss off a new player who's still fighting lizardman broodlings? To be a jackass.

Actually in those rare occurrances, particularly at a low level... the griefer usually throws a few buffs and even an item or two after he's done "playing" :p

[Buhbuh]

I don't know what to tell you. There's a handful of ex SZ players that get off on watching the server pop dwindle. They openly admit to it/ act that way. I've asked for their bans, but to no avail.

Just gotta bypass it somehow.

The thing you have to understand is that on blue other players can grief you too. On blue you don't even get to camp Tranix because Clark is there, or the spore king because Syzzurp is putting in his 95th hour of this week, or raid mobs without being willing to jav spam/coh duck/poopsock/batphone at all hours etc. So the question is whether you prefer to compete via poopsocking or PVP. I consider EQ PVP mechanics to be rather mediocre (well, to be fair so are its PVE mechanics . . .) but its way better than having to put up with morons like Lazie bragging about their list of jav spamming FTEs at 3AM.

Also I think Nirgon has the right idea about Velious on blue. It's going to be . . . insane. 100 people in line for Ziglark Whisperwing. 100 people clicking air for scout charisa. Walking around Kael and not seeing a single giant for minutes. etc.


- Everyone sucks at their class
- People are dumb when it comes to PvP....just camp in a high spot out of sight and log in blow someone up with unexpected nukes and log out


You mean like Chest tagging Noble before he reset and then getting summoned into mid air and falling out of Sky? :D (I have no idea if this actually happened or not; I heard about it and thought it was funny)

I have met some good players, some bad players, and some annoying players. The good/cool ones go on my friend list. I think that's pretty similar to blue. The big difference, I suspect, is that there aren't so many guilds on red, so you are likely to be guilded with some nutcases.


- global ooc is mindless dribble of PRAS, rekt, fire giant, night rider, WINDSTRIKERS


Global OOC is basically a constant stream of RNF that you can't really shut off (some of it is necessary, like LFG and auctions and such). It can be mildly entertaining, but when people enter the Alarti u/no u zone it just gets annoying. I definitely wish I could censor all OOC lines that include pras, crootin, etc.
