So I am giving red another try. So far though, the only pvp action I've come across in 40 lvls is twinks trying to gank ppl 4 levels lower or griefers waiting till an exp group is engaged to 5 mobs to strike.
So where does the actual PVP go down? Is it only happening for raids or higher level dungeons? Almost every group I've been in so far is afraid to PVP people and would much rather exp than PVP. Its almost as if.it is frowned upon to PVP people, I've even had people curse me out for trying to engage them in PVP fun. I also had a mistmoore group kick me out for killing someone while I was pulling mobs for our group.
So far only difference between red and blue is global OOC, a ton of foul language and bigotry, and an insane exp bonus. So any red vets wanna offer some advice on where PVP action is at on red99? I mean real PVP too not jumping lowbies on twinked alts or griefing exp groups who already have mobs on them?
Thx looking to do some battle tonight after school.

Maybe you can run around and /duel people. Make sure you have them appraise your gear so they can strip down to where you feel its an even fight. Hire a referee too.
This game is hard.

Like open battles between ppl over territory or camps, something besides some random red con wiz trying to nuke you down while ur group is fighting mobs.
Also is it generally frowned upon on red99 to look for a fight? Maybe I'm just grouping with too many recent converts from blue? Idk but ut seems like people get upset when pvp happens.
For example last night this wizard/bard duo was trying to PK my group in MM and they both got wrecked, the wizard then proceedes to curse me out and call me racial slurs in tells until I ignored him. It just seems like there is very little sportsmanship. But again, I've only made it to lvl 40 and only had about 10 pvp encounters but each one resulted in some sort of obnoxious reaction from the loser.
So is this stuff normal for red and will I find more players interested in PVP post-40?

Did you make sure he was ready at full mana and geared the same as you?
I mean, he was engaged with other players. Maybe you should have waited for a one on one so it could have been considered "PVP"

It's true, red has a big leveling atmosphere lower level. The exception is lv 10, which seems to attract pks because you can make a lv 10 pk alt in a matter of hours,so not much effort. After level 10 99% of the pk players you see will be randoms trying to level and maybe pvp a few people, which is fine as far as i'm concerned. Thing is tho that until your guilded pickup groups are going to be how you're getting by, so you face the choice of potentially making enemies with someone in your level range or leveling quick. If i was you i'd just level and keep your enemies relatively small, make to many and you might end up being denied a group and/or join one only to find someone you killed.

Do yourself a favor and avoid PvP at all costs til 60 like everyone else.
Or leave anon off and hope that it comes to you.

just kill people on your way up and join whatever guild you want when you get high enough. you're not burning any bridges by killing lower level people who are new here. they're not really in charge of any of the current factions/ guilds (and probably won't be even trying to lead one until they learn pvp mechanics a little better).

Unfortunately with no pvp item loot and low pop, low level pvp is very limited and sad.
Large percentage of players are butt rushing to level 60 so they can get dragon loots. One of the main problems is that at low levels, PVP doesn't make a whole lot of sense since there is no incentive to do it except for pride. Most of the people that want to PVP at low level will be twinks not worth battling since you can't take their regen item when you steal the kill shot from the NPC that did most of the dmg to them.

PvP generally is frowned upon among people lvling up here mostly because people don't want to jeopardize a group once they've finally found one. When you get to the higher levels people expect to get jumped, though you should be prepared for the level of shit talk to be increased even further.

Crushbone, unrest, and mistmore see the most action on lower levels, alot of 150k twinks run those areas. You best bet is to either try those areas and expect the twinks, or try places like Freeport area and hope for targets. Pvp chances get better when leveling, I would suggest some levels and some Mr gear before getting serious about it.

only real pvp is when you make a twink and keep it in unrest or CB and fight another twink.

Nobody at a low level is going to go sit in a "designated pvp area" all night and look for even matches (whatever that means). People want to level up and get stronger. I'm only 13 and I have got into a bunch of pvp already. Two guys ganked me last night but then we grouped after. Have some fun.
