Blue to Red

[Biaxil]

I'm happy about the influx of players on Red from Blue. The server is consistently hitting 300+ now and seems to be still slowly growing. Hopefully more of you will join us.

I tried red with a couple of friends but you have a few twinked asshats who think it's fun to kill untwinked noobs over and over so one of the friends decided blue was better after all. Not a great way to encourage new players.

The secret is to avoid CB, unrest and MM. Not going to run into many twinks outside of those places. Also it isn't as if the deaths cost you anything.

They get to loot all your coin no??

[Nirgon]

You can level past those guys in one night

Just log for a while and come back, they get bored and go away

Yes, thats why you never carry any pp on u. Because of global /ooc, EC is not a trading hub and instead the bank at Freeport are the major trading hubs. You meet at the bank if you want to buy something and trade in the bank so whoever gets your money can quickly put it in the bank vise versa.

Little trick if you have alot of STR, carry lots of copper so when someone kills and loots you they become heavier muhahahah...

So the best plat farms are useless. I'm carrying like 3k worth of plat and gold atm I can't do that on red. Or I would get rolled and lose 2hrs worth of farming. I tried red and got much lunch money stolen but a red con. I may try again while I'm farming a slow spawn but I would not want to invest any real time there.

Your brain is stuck in blue mode.

Instead of farming and praying you don't get victimized, have you ever thought of making plat off of being a predator? You'd be surprised at how much plat you can make by making friends and hunting other players - you actually can make cash having fun! It's an insane concept.

Yeah I don't fancy myself a thief. If someone invests time in making plat and you take it you are stealing their time. That is just wrong.

Even just being shot at with arrows is too much for some

I got prof

The new blue blood converts are rising. Groups and camps to be had. Fight for your right to pixel party.

Another trick is to buy gems (not sure which ones, can someone help with that?). You buy the gems to absorb your money and when you are in a safe spot you can sell them back to a merchant. You lose about 5> pp out of every 100pp which to many on red, that lost is worth over the fear of losing precious pp. If someone else is farming that area and is pvp to you, either fight them or go somewhere else, make a alt or/and wait. With the pop still low you dont see as many people as you do in blue and eventually the camp spot should open up and be open for a bit.

[Biaxil]

Yea, that guy was meant for blue. I don't think he gets the concept that you shouldn't ever just be walking around with 3k on you at anytime.

Or, you could go farm sea furies, which on red is empty half the time, and dont turn in your gems for plat till you are at the bank.

Why the shit would anyone carry 3k Plat on themselves on either box?

Red is lot of fun. I've found for the casual raider Red is the better choice imo

[Fame]

Red is not nearly as bad as I thought it would be, there are many friendly players there, especially wizards!

No variance is a beautiful thing. On red you log in at 5:55, because your raid mob spawns at 6. Kill it, shower in pixels, go do other stuff.

Endless hours of FTE jav spam


It is amazing anyone still raids on blue.

I have a feeling that, like me, you are really not cut out for red. That's not a bad thing, just an observation.
