You bash Blue server constantly...Yeah not salty at all.

The occasional bash never hurt, not sure about "constantly" though. All part of ForumQuest. I'd like to see the red community continue to grow, there's nothing wrong with that.

Anyway, people bash red all the time but that's acceptable apparently?

I'll just go back to my server of 10 people and be bindcamped at my character creation bind spot til the other 9 people (all level 60 hitting a level 1) are done saying "lol u fag u better log out haw haw, we can do dis all day"... that's what the red myth is, right? ;)

Come on down and see the truth, much more fun than that.

[Skittlez]

If I start a guy on red, should I go with a farming class? Basically group zerg to 50 then farm some shit is what I'm thinking. Either Enchanter or Shaman maybe. Dunno what would be the better farming class for Red.

I gotta have my gear though so I need some class to do that.

Kinda hard not to bash tracking (read: staring at the computer screen refreshing track... thats it) 50 hours a week to be competitive within your guild for drops

We have been asking ourselves a lot lately what can be done to make the server better for everyone. We have had a great idea and I really think that people are going to like this one when they see it in action! We have opened several Newbie gear recycling plants around Norrath. These are high tech facilities that process leftover raw material and repurpose them to be used in new products!

We just ask that you pick up a yellow bin from one of our distribution centers and leave it by the street so that we can pick it up and take it to our plants! (read:send a tell to an officer)

What kind of items can be recycled? Please review this list of recyclables!


Bronze armor of any size
Banded armor of any size
Damask armor
Raw hide Armor
Polished bone bracers
West Karana Ogre items
Split paw armor
Goblin forged chain
Dwarven ring mail tunics


We also have a Sharps disposal kit!

[Glenzig]

Fresh has been great so far for me. I don't really care about guild politics and what has happened over the last 3 years on red. All I know is that since the start of December I have been in Fresh and it has been a very positive experience. Would guild again.

[Layne]

then youll love this:

Wtb /transfer plz :D

If it was a one way deal i think that would be more appropriate. I mean what you have with this system are a bunch of people boxing on blue w/ no worries killing green names and junk just to exchange for 3-4x on Red when the whole philosophy behind a pvp server is competition and pvp. There is none of that when all you have to do to make money on red is beg/port/farm low end. I love pvp don't get me wrong, played Tallon live. I'm not trying to bash red at all just not sure I agree with being able to transfer plat while keeping chars on both servers and being allowed to box the two servers. Again love pvp enjoy the slaughter guys n gals!

honestly mate there is hardly anybody on red ever trading to blue. they come around very rarely and when they do its usually not much and all their stuff gets bought out very quickly by 1 or 2 people who play red and happen to have some blue stuff laying around they have no desire for anymore.

trust me on this one there's not some black market thing going on of people boxing blue and farming and doing these transfers every day

I can sympathize with people who would like to try out red without leaving behind something they've put time and effort into on blue. I didn't try red for the longest time much for that reason. But really, starting new on red is a great experience.

Almost no one is twinked, and the huge group xp bonus means players seek each other out and group up to level. Porters are pretty helpful getting new players to XP groups without payment. It's a lot of fun, epic battles against every XP mob since your tank has rusty weapons and your casters don't have a ton of cheap twink gear to boost their hp/mp pools.

Yeah, there's "griefers" here or there, but I've gone 1-35 on a cleric and only run into them twice even though I've leveled through crushbone, unrest, and mistmoore. They're just bored idiots who can't whore a leaderboard on their mains so they do it on twinks. They get bored if you don't give them what they want on their twinks too though, and then you can get back to your fun easily.

Meanwhile, you're playing EQ. But it's EQ with PVP in the mix to keep things interesting when you want to switch it up!


It's worth a shot if you're at all interested.

Population hovers around 300 nightly. There's a lot of previously blue folks over here.

Still a few guild options, camps aren't insanely crowded, you can PvP over things you want.

It works really well if you come over in groups. Leveling is easier that way. Prophets of Slosh is a guild like that, and they do pretty well for themselves.

Holocaust bumped its requirement to level 51 for apps. Lot of epics flying. I think Azrael (our competition) is recruiting pretty actively as well.

Now's a good time to try it out over here.

Lot of us willing to help people out in the rough transition.

Here's my story. Spent hours on my first character, grinded to 27 on my druid. I was a HHK in a group for maybe 4 hours and went afk for 10 minutes to fix my heater which wasnt working properly. I come back, my party has flamed me for being gone too long, killed me, and looted the measily 100-200pp i had earned just that day giving out SoW and buffs in Kelethin just for spell money. I looted my corpse, asked if i could have my money back and told my group leader i didnt mean offense. He refused, i realized how pvp was on this server, and quit.

Dont waste your time playing on this server. Its a toxic, terrible community

[clellaen]

Here's a story for you guys wondering how red is.

Grinded my first character on the server to 27. Had some fun, met a buddy to duo gargs in OoT for some spell money. I was wearing all cloth and leather at 27 like a boss druid when I went to an HHK group. I was in the group for almost 4 hours, when I needed to take an afk. I told my group I needed an afk, came back in 10 minutes after fixing my heater which wasnt working. I was dead, my group had flamed me for being gone "too long" and looted all of my spell gold. I was literally running around in all cloth and leather and lost my entire 150p to 4 guys who were friends in HHK and twinked, and I guess upset. I looted my body by my group who just killed me and apologized if I offended them and started to run to zoneline. I wasn't going to stay in the group. The group leader messages me and says "All you have to do is ask to be let back in." I said no thanks, he said fair enough, and when I noticed he had looted all my money I asked if we would return it so I could buy my spells. When he said no, I logged off and deleted my character. No time for a community like this, PVP or not. Gamers have changed in the modern era, and this server is simply dreadful.

This is the experience you will have on red. OOC is pure guild-drama annoyance, players who are twinked and level 9 will run through crushbone and other critical grinding areas for low and new players, kill them all, loot them, move on, rinse and repeat every few hours.

By the way, I don't even have a character on blue. I love to pvp, and gave this server a solid chance. If you at ALL enjoy the EverQuest experience and want a good community and pvp, this server is NOT for you.

Lesson; Log out when you're going to afk for a significant amount of time and always have your money in the bank. If you're in HHK doing goblins you're literally 20 feet from a banker and as a druid I'm sure you could have used it.

You ground a druid to 27 in a few hours and left red because you died and couldn't go put your plat in a bank that was right there? How is that giving red a chance?

PU groups on red are a risky business. If you had found a guild and learned more about what red is you'd have had a better outlook. The FIRST thing you do is accept the fact that you're going to be PK'd. We have low tolerance for people that think this is blue with added PvP. It's not blue. Fortunately for you - I guess - you realized that fairly quickly.

[Ezalor]

he's right about the red community being toxic though

encountering a normal, mentally stable person on red is like finding an albino animal in the wild

don't expect anything beyond a cesspool of delinquents. but if that kind of thing appeals to you, proceed on over to red because you're probably one too

[citizen1080]

Eh...i have had pretty much nothing but good experiences on Red. And I am horrible at pvp. My wizard is 56, cleric 53, sk 50. So i think i have played enough to have a valid opinion.

Yea you run into some retards, griefers etc. But blue has more than its fair share of these same types of people as well. Just instead of killing you they are KSing, ninja looting, training, stalling raid mobs, camp stealing, or just being general tools.

If you join the pvp server with the expectation that you are going to pvp you will love it. If someone is griefing you then kill him, leave, log out, ask a friend to come kill him. You have lots of options. Getting mad is not a good one however.

An example of this would be a few weeks ago I was lvling in CoM on my SK. Another SK in range of me inspected(saw i was twinked to the gills) and ran off. He ended up trying to grief a shaman in patchwork and other crappy noobie gear because he was easy prey. Did the shaman scream, cry and delete his toon?

Nope, he asked me if I would help. So, between pulls for my group i would run over to stables and run him off till he plugged. This SK is a prime example of a red douchebag, but for every one of him there are 30 or 40 good people who will help you.

Later that night I (thought) i logged off. Turns out I didn't and that same douchebag SK bind camped me for 10-20 free pvp kills and looted a few hundred pp.

Oh well, my bad for not making sure I logged out. Lesson learned, character not deleted.

I greatly enjoy Red when i have the time to play. The raiding can't be beat for someone with a busy schedule. I know when raid mobs spawn and simply log on and kill them. No poop socking, no fte, no wasting days of my life staring at a spawn points.

And even being shittastic at pvp, i still get kills once in awhile, and if i don't want to pvp, it's real easy to avoid it.

blue pop certifiable as well at times

[Paleman]

I was on red grouped in unrest the other day with some guy named hardcore, who was a complete and utter retard, and I thought it was hilarious. He was a druid that stood and meleed all the mobs, didnt cast a fucking spell, talking about how he knew everyone on the server as if that mattered ( I mean 300 pop, thats like saying you know everyone in the trailer park) Later on a monk named suicide, came and ganked a friend of mine. After that Hardcore told the group " dont worry guize, I know him and I told him to stop" which I thought oddd. Why would your friend need to be told that? Anyhow, later on our group got ambushed while killing a ghoul and hardcore died losing XP from the ghoul in the process because I got tired of healing the scrub. So me and my friends told him that the ghoul was our friend and we told him to stop but he wouldnt listen, which made him all cranky.

After this he offered to PL the group we were in with his naked druid, because that works. He tried that for a while as me and my friend laughed at him and then gave up and left zone. I started talking to suicide, ended up getting along and he PLd us for about an hour or so. He is a pretty cool dudeski. Thanks again!

My lesson learned that day was stay quiet and learn who the ree rees are. Have fun with those, and get along with the people who arent complete fucking imbeciles. There are alot of dumbs on red that you can just have fun with. Even though it seems that alot of guilds are just trying to get gear, its not really the determining factor in PVP, so you can still survive, and win. Its frustrating at times for sure, but fun.

eq community is toxic in general. People fighting over nonexistant shit, selling nonexistant shit for real life money, people freaking out over you inspecting their nonexistant armor. The game is free for people who live on welfare to play.

The only difference from nice people you find on blue vs red is people on red front an agressive attitude, if you can break through that barrier im sure the people on red are no different from blue.

[Examino]

don't bother playing red. they're all rejects IRL and take it out on a game. truth.

[clellaen]

Hey guys sorry about the triple post.

I'm really not trying to talk shit on anyone's idea of fun or anything. I'm just trying to give my 2 cents, I always play PvP realms in games and love it. EverQuest is my favorite game ever, played it on and off since Velious. But PvP on "red?" It's for the fucking birds guys.

By the way, I grouped with Hardcore as well. He was literally the worst player I encountered during my experience, and his guild, FoH, mostly followed suit. He was not only bossy as hell, but very opinionated on how every person in his group was playing. Completely egotistical.

If you want a community you can enjoy communicating with in any way, just give up now on this server.

[clellaen]

And for the record I know the bank was there. I was a new player to the server getting used to things again. If you guys want to be that unforgiving to returning players, then advertise that you have little to NO patience with returning players. It saves everyone time.

[Paleman]

unforgiving, you learn lessons by fucking up not by daddy saying its ok now try again. On a server where you are pitted against literally anyone its foolish to think anyone is going to give you a notification of what they intend to do and what their standards are.


did your friends give you warnings before they pranked you? red server isnt cum ba ya like blue.

You act like people should actually expect the retarded chaos that is "red" when they make a character there. Ok. I just disagree. I'm also just letting folks know a different opinion. Sorry it differs from yours.

news flash: the raiding scene on both servers is flawed

on red, it is even more monopolized than it is on blue. you have one zerg guild (holocaust) which according to sirken comprises over 1/2 of the server population and downs literally 100% all raid targets with no variance. if your problem with blue is the raid scene, you're gonna have an even shittier time on red.

raiding is not the entire game of eq btw bruh. both servers will leave you dissappointed if you're not in the zerg guild, but at least on blue, you won't get griefed by a cesspool of sociopaths and subject to global ooc retardation while leveling 1-60

i have raided on blue a little bit, im not obsessed over raiding at all. I honestly just like discussing things, hence why I am discussing them on these boards. I raided plenty on live im in no fucking hurry to join the clusterfuck at the end of the game on p99. I am not in highschool anymore man, I have a life with hobbies and a wife and shit this time around.

so you are saying the same guild has existed that dominated through all of the red server the whole time? I dont even need to play on red to know thats not true.

I cant take seriously a guy who cant phrase sentences properly. Also whos to say thats my max level toon, or only toon? maybe its just my sig? The point is when you assume things you make an ass out of u and me sir.

Played on Blue for seven months or so. Took a character to level 44, joined a start-up guild and played officer for a while. A "Raid" for us was Solusek's Eye.

Guild lost leadership to BDA, then pals stopped logging on and so did I. Sensed something bad was waiting for me if I continued to grind. This was well before I even knew what "raid classes" were.

Fast forward.

Rolled brand new on Red in October. Character is level 55 with bits of gear I would never have seen on Blue. I got murdered a ton as a low level, but kept on playing. The more fights I get in the more tricks I learn and the longer I draw out fights. Sometimes I even win.

I go to Fear, Sky, Hate... I kill Maestro and I kill Dracoliche. I group with friends and take down monsters for epic quest items. I protect my own when I see them being harassed and I hand off gear to new players that I so easily see myself in.

All that in less time than it took me to get to 44 on Blue.

Played on Blue for seven months or so. Took a character to level 44, joined a start-up guild and played officer for a while. A "Raid" for us was Solusek's Eye.

Guild lost leadership to BDA, then pals stopped logging on and so did I. Sensed something bad was waiting for me if I continued to grind. This was well before I even knew what "raid classes" were.

Fast forward.

Rolled brand new on Red in October. Character is level 55 with bits of gear I would never have seen on Blue. I got murdered a ton as a low level, but kept on playing. The more fights I get in the more tricks I learn and the longer I draw out fights. Sometimes I even win.

I go to Fear, Sky, Hate... I kill Maestro and I kill Dracoliche. I group with friends and take down monsters for epic quest items. I protect my own when I see them being harassed and I hand off gear to new players that I so easily see myself in.

All that in less time than it took me to get to 44 on Blue.

congrats bro, your story has truly moved me. red is still dead, sub 200 pop. Go away

[Ezalor]

on red, an entire guild (nihilum) was disbanded by staff and the guild leader (nizzar) perma-banned across all accounts for getting caught running a RMT scheme on raid loot.

before getting disbanded, at least 1/2 of the total server pop was tagged in nihilum and they monopolized every single raid target for 2-3 years.

if you think that blue raiding scene is fucked, just wait until you play red.

[Paleman]

congrats bro, your story has truly moved me. red is still dead, sub 200 pop. Go away

explain to me why 200-300 population in a game (at this moment) where you need no more than 24 people max to do almost everything content wise is considered dead?

[Glenzig]

Man all this blue rage over the state of the red server. Keep it up guys. Any publicity is good publicity.

[Whirled]

Man this blue server is all the new rave. Keep up the great work guys + gals.

[Humerox]

explain to me why 300-400 population in a game (at this moment) where you need no more than 24 people max to do almost everything content wise is considered dead?

fixed :D

[Humerox]

news flash: the raiding scene on both servers is flawed

on red, it is even more monopolized than it is on blue. you have one zerg guild (holocaust) which according to sirken comprises over 1/2 of the server population and downs literally 100% all raid targets with no variance. if your problem with blue is the raid scene, you're gonna have an even shittier time on red.

raiding is not the entire game of eq btw bruh. both servers will leave you dissappointed if you're not in the zerg guild, but at least on blue, you won't get griefed by a cesspool of sociopaths and subject to global ooc retardation while leveling 1-60

the difference is that on red things can and have changed in the raiding scene in relatively short periods of time (including now). you can /ignore OOC or place it in a separate box and only look at it when you want to. you can avoid the griefers with smart play. guilds and guild power changes all the time .

on blue you have one guild that has monopolized over 3 years of content and the only way to change that is to write 15 more pages of rules. you have people raiding with empty slots. the waiting on the cycles of rotation is idiotic. skill has been replaced by the amount of time you're willing to devote to staring at your screen waiting and playing like it's Second Life whether it's some raid mob or it's some silly camp you have to wait for another mouth-breather to release.

make friends early and join a guild instead of trying to be a solo PvP hero because it's not going to happen. you will see content and do things that aren't possible on blue unless you have 50kdkp in TMO.

and you just might have fun again.

You guys make red sound fun. would like to try it if i ever get my account unbanned :)

It is a lot of fun to never have trust in any of your group members for the entire experience you play. Or for when you need to afk to take a shit. Imagine, as you are on the toilet, every squeeze with failed outcomes is another moment where the angry rogue in your group could be backstabbing you right in your fucking asshole as it's defecating.

Good times red, thanks for the RIDE.

still mad you ground all the way to 27 on a 200% boosted server and got ganked in a random PU group with 150p in HHK and a banker right there? maybe the group needed heals bro. should have banked and camped until you were done squeezing 'em out.

even though the opportunities are greater than the corrupted toxicity that is known as blue, it's not blue and you must have a thick skin. Banking and logging for 10 minutes would have saved you the rage.

you'd be absolutely correct when saying it doesn't fit the playing style of a lot of people. we're not looking for those people. those people are entirely satisfied with the state of affairs on blue or they can't adapt to the fact that they're going to get killed by players on a PvP server.

thanks for trying it out. it wasn't fun for you...although a longer sample may have been beneficial to you. you know...one where you learn not to hold a fistful of plat and go afk on a PvP server in a random xp group.

[clellaen]

Thank you for trying so desperately to justify the actions of the worst humans on your server. I didn't quit over the plat as much as I did an accurate vision of the future.

The people you are looking for? They are Hardcore, are leaving daily because of ^^^^, or they don't exist. Enjoy your Hardcores.

You have nihilum ptsd or you aren't very involved in the end game, and I can tell that from reading the last couple of posts you made here. All of that is ok, and red not being for you is ok too. It would also be ok if you swallowed it like a man and let those of us who enjoy Red have our one thread where we try to express our interest in recruiting new players. Thank you very much, I hope you have a great life.

"swallowed it like a man"

Welcome to red, and if you dont enjoy your stay, then fuck you

[Ezalor]

nothing wrong with red as long as you know what you're getting into. just don't expect a thriving and contested raid scene

[dontbanpls]

It's not like that, your interpretation of anything anyone is saying to you certainly seems to be. It would just be best if you did not continue to post about something that the majority of us deem to be quite a minor annoyance as if it where a great social issue of the generation. It's all about perspective. Yours seems to be quite negative currently, and not just about your experience on the red server but towards people over all, in my perspective.

I am not trying to keep people from playing blue so you don't need to be so defensive. If standing in line thinking of clever ways to convince the staff that you are more deserving of items than someone else seems appealing, or if you just really love selling epic MQ's so that people can't complete their own quests the blue server is probably a great place to play.


The red server operates differently and for some folks that has no merit. I am sorry that you are one of those people and I hope that you find a way to move on with dignity.

I told a story that was true and that got people upset. I continue to post when people attack me for not banking and shit, or when they say "swallow it like a man."

Dude, you comparing red to blue means nothing to me. I dont play blue, I dont care about your opinion on blue. Really.

I pointed out a reality, a fact, about your server. That fact was then "undermined" by my inability to bank. Lol. Again, irrelevant to your terrible community.

The only thing you digital heroes have done is desperately try to distract attention from your glaring issues in attempts to convince more "noobs" (which you so obviously tolerate....) to waste their time giving you company at night. It's pretty fucking pathetic, especially since this server isn't shit close to the community in 1999.

I'll bow out, but not for my dignity, I don't need to prove anything to you. Your questioning of my dignity at this moment is fucking hilarious. I will bow out for your server's dignity though, which is not as easily disguised as this thread is engineered to display.

[Swish]

Red is a learning curve, there's no denying that. If you're smart you'll pick up things that are common sense quite quickly (such as turning off trades unless you're actually trading, getting resist gear, a see invis item, etc).

If not, you'll learn, but you'll learn sooner rather than later. Its not much different to learning pve things on blue... monk pulling tricks, sneak pulling, how to split certain camps, when to cast that big wiz nuke etc.

Are you annoyed that you learnt the hard way on something? Probably happened to a lot of people, not that they'd admit it.

Rolled a bard, who can I send a tell to for a pixel package? Need some small bronze or banded so I can stop slayin orcs in my underwear.

I'm really liking the idea of red because it adds a new dynamic to the game for me. For example, I saw this dorf running back and forth between Felwithe and Kelethin so I knew obviously he was doing the mail quest. He got jumped by an Orc Pawn and was at dangerously low hp so I stepped in and helped him out. He had about 3% hp left when the orc died and all I could think about was how this dude must have at least a few pp on him from doing the quest over and over. I had to make a decision, kill him and go buy myself some new bags or let him go and hopefully make a new brother in arms. I ended up leaving him be as a potential ally in the future on this server could prove more useful than a few backpacks now, time will tell tho.

EDIT: Example 2, seriously, read this angry red players previous posts. Haha

I recently played through FF4 again (first time since the 90s) and I have to say Edward is probably one of the worst playable characters in the franchise. Props having an FF character pic tho the early Japanese FF art is awesome.

I had a good time on Red over Turkey Day Weekend (i didnt whine in global OOC for free gear either)

I'd go ahead and say the Blue community is way worse than Red. At least the Red community isn't duplicitous about trying to screw other players over.

(whiny little kid voice) "waaa, this is my camp now you left for 15 seconds"

"waaa, no this is my king camp - my toon was in tube room sitting, I was just taking a nap"

"waaaa, I'm gonna kite and stall this raid mob even though its a punk ass "illegal" move and deny it in ooc, its gonna take weeks for us to get lawyerquested anyways"

Personal attacks from red players based off info politely addressing issues to fellow members of the EQ community?

Never saw that coming.

[Paleman]

ok i wont feed this fool.


but last word.

[skipdog]

By the way guys, I'm not trying to end red. I really don't mind you guys playing here forever. I AM trying to prevent new players from wasting their time based off false information and fake stories. Sorry to be the only truthful person here

I hope you realize that declaring that 'everybody here who posted a story of a positive experience on red is lying' is extremely stupid.

I have had a great experience on red. I got ganked a few times while soloing on my journey so far(up to 50), but the vast majority of people are just super nice and even when you do get killed, I've never had a single person try to camp my corpse. I usually send them a 'nice kill' message, we chat a bit, and I get on with my day, no xp loss or anything. I've been in a couple groups in very popular areas that got ganked by a fungi twink and it was... EXCITING!! Some of us died, but so did the pk'er and great fun was had by all. I also had times where a fungi twink drove us out of our spots and I simply had to log or go someplace else. That is fine too! Overall, I've had a super positive experience on red so far.

[clellaen]

Im not saying that skipdog. I never once said that. Please do your research if you want to make blanket statements.

I'm adding a real, negative story that happened to me. If more players shared their negative views on here instead of MAKING UP BULLSHIT STORIES, then players can make a better decision before they play here.

If that doesn't make sense to you, then this really is the server for you.

[citizen1080]

Like i said...just ignore the troll. If this was legit he wouldn't be intelligent enough to continue breathing.

[clellaen]

You don't think this could happen on your server? Are you to that point of delusion?

[clellaen]

You can call people a troll for telling a story and then defending their story and themselves, but everyone on here knows what a troll is. All they have to do is simply look through my 43 measily posts highlighting the disgrace of this shadow EQ community to tell who the real trolls are.

Yes, you did say that. You absolutely 100% said that.

"Sorry to be the only truthful person here." That statement implies that every else is lying and creating fake stories. My story was not fake. Red has been an incredibly positive experience for me and that is the truth.

I can't imagine Red being much worse - maybe just as bad, certainly not worse

I'm adding a real, negative story that happened to me. If more players shared their negative views on here instead of MAKING UP BULLSHIT STORIES, then players can make a better decision before they play here.

the only reason your experience was negative is because you allowed it to be so. you obviously thought that random, seemingly friendly pickup groups on red were safe because you killed a few mobs together.
you leveled up extremely quickly and spent no more than several hours on red. you did not join a guild, you did not make a serious effort to find like-minded players.

instead you keep 150 plat on your character in HHK while you saunter off AFK to relieve yourself. some random rogue obviously got mad that you were not fulfilling your group obligations and ganked you.

then you come on the boards and scream about the red community. I'd venture to say that had you:

A) bound outside of HHK.
B) banked your plat.
C) told the group you had to log for a couple
D) joined <Fresh> and leveled with guildees

that your experience on red would probably still be ongoing. just mho. what upsets me about your "negative" experience is that you brought it on yourself and it was completely avoidable had you been a little...let's say...smarter. regarding the situation you placed yourself in, that is. :)

EDIT: You didn't spend enough time on red to learn anything about the community. your experience was with some random PU group. you'd be griefed harder on blue, trust me.

a) Incorrect assumption.
b) I still had banked plat, though only 100. I had just sold at the nearby mearchant and forgot to drop extra plat in bank. not upset about the loss at all, am upset players wouldnt return it to noob checking out server
c) Another incorrect assumption
d) No thanks

[clellaen]

By the way, I would gladly give 40+ posts to warn other decent EQ players expressing interest in the server to save themselves the misery and time of dealing with whatever the fuck kind of people I encountered.

you don't play blue or red and are obviously slamming both communities. you don't mind tossing out spittle-laced obscenities in server chat and tarnishing the project because it doesn't meet your rose-colored expectations.

got it.

[clellaen]

I'm obviously not slamming blue because I haven't said anything about blue and don't know anything about blue.

You still can't admit I'm right. Got it.

You also still can't admit an active member of your community embarrassed himself by making up a fake story to mitigate my personal experience. Got it.

Reminds me of all the people who played Dark Souls with their network cable unplugged and said PvP is horrible what's the point.

But tell us more about yourself.. did you level your own raid mob tracker or do you use one provided for the guild? Or is your main a tracker? How many hours a day would you say on average you spend refreshing a track window for dkp?

im actually just copying parts of his posts and pasting them at this point.

Example?

Talendor

He was my favorite to track.

This is still possible yes? To track this mob for 15 hours a day?

[clellaen]

Nirgon I will refuse to address you in the future out of respect for your decision to not read stuff. Carry on though sir typing

[clellaen]

I'm still waiting to here one good story about this server that is real.

[Nirgon]

There's no variance on red. Happiest story ever.

Just one fine example:
One time Severilous spawned and no one tracked it for 60 hours to get it.

[clellaen]

What's funny about red is you all can pvp noob afk'rs, but you talk about banning someone who told a story you didn't like in a story thread.

Now that I think about it, this community is completely pointless

[Nirgon]

Does everyone being happy about killing Severilous while not being miserable tracking him 60 hours count as a happy story? Or you still won't answer me cuz I didn't read 68+ times how much you hate red or how retarded people who disagree with you are?

[Paleman]

[citizen1080]

Eh...i have had pretty much nothing but good experiences on Red. And I am horrible at pvp. My wizard is 56, cleric 53, sk 50. So i think i have played enough to have a valid opinion.

Yea you run into some retards, griefers etc. But blue has more than its fair share of these same types of people as well. Just instead of killing you they are KSing, ninja looting, training, stalling raid mobs, camp stealing, or just being general tools.

If you join the pvp server with the expectation that you are going to pvp you will love it. If someone is griefing you then kill him, leave, log out, ask a friend to come kill him. You have lots of options. Getting mad is not a good one however.

An example of this would be a few weeks ago I was lvling in CoM on my SK. Another SK in range of me inspected(saw i was twinked to the gills) and ran off. He ended up trying to grief a shaman in patchwork and other crappy noobie gear because he was easy prey. Did the shaman scream, cry and delete his toon?

Nope, he asked me if I would help. So, between pulls for my group i would run over to stables and run him off till he plugged. This SK is a prime example of a red douchebag, but for every one of him there are 30 or 40 good people who will help you.

Later that night I (thought) i logged off. Turns out I didn't and that same douchebag SK bind camped me for 10-20 free pvp kills and looted a few hundred pp.

Oh well, my bad for not making sure I logged out. Lesson learned, character not deleted.

I greatly enjoy Red when i have the time to play. The raiding can't be beat for someone with a busy schedule. I know when raid mobs spawn and simply log on and kill them. No poop socking, no fte, no wasting days of my life staring at a spawn points.

And even being shittastic at pvp, i still get kills once in awhile, and if i don't want to pvp, it's real easy to avoid it.

The douchebag sk was Atank. My toon was Banhammer. You can check out the red99 leaderboard to verify this story.

Also, being Bob...the most trusted person on the box for years. My opinion > yours.

Keep posting though

you should make a toon on red to inform people so that your mission would be fulfilled sooner imo. just a thought for your quest that you are on.
