View Full Version : Twinks in leveling areas?

Its getting pretty pathetic, 3 to 4 people have access to these low level twinks
Makjujuseyo and many others
They have level 60s dress them up in fungis, rogue epics and many other tools and
They just ruin groups, make new players not want to play on the server and spend all day in mistmoore just to grief with no profit.
I know pvp is part of the server, but they are a threat to the server population, bye bye with them

Every time you encounter one of these people, imagine what kind of strange and pathetic situation they must be suffering through in their real lives in order for them to gain satisfaction from engaging in this sort of griefing activity. The reason they do it is because they feel utterly powerless in their real lives (fat, bad, mad, sad) and thus seek to compensate by engaging in gross and superfluous displays of dominance in a 15 year old elf simulator. So the next time you see a de-leveled Epic Rogue with a Fungi and 200k in gear griefing your group, look past the character to the man behind the keyboard, the 350 lb. unemployed man living off his grandmother's Social Security check, seeking solace for a lifetime of failure by finally feeling like a big man in the only way he knows how: griefing newbies with a tremendously overgeared PK character. You will then find that your anger turns into a mix of confusion and pity. The correct response is therefore not to rage at them, but to pray for them, and to thank God that you were spared the circumstances that led them into such a pathetic existence.

With the group exp modifer you don't have to stay in unrest or mistmoore. Take a group and go to sol a, najena, the karanas, upper guk, and other zones. If you bring the group you can grind out a bunch of lvls in 1 go.
Helro
02-15-2015, 02:45 AM
He has multiple chars
level 30 - Silvers
Level 37 - Makjujuseyo
All twinks fungis epics, level 60 buffs and more he just logs on and ruins groups with, trains people, you name it he ruins it.
I guess he cant kill anyone with his level 60
After he kills people he /t them and says HAHA YOU CANT LEVEL

Just push past them, not even worth worrying about them.

I kill people on super twinked lowbie alts because it's fun not to be a man. I have a tight body and like to dress up in heals and short skirts to get plowed by other men. Killing people who have no chance of winning is so fun though.

Sometimes I wonder if people post things like this because they just want to make the server look bad. Like running into traffic and getting hit by a car and then using it as an excuse to ban cars.

go back to blue dude

I know you bluebie noobies find a lot of different places to level, you should stick to your own forums though thats where you kids on here keep getting confused
Rararboker
02-15-2015, 05:14 PM
Sounds like your the only one having issues. Everyone else figures it out pretty quick and if you've been on the server as long as you have and still haven't figured it out, you must be a special kind of stupid. Last night UGuk had 2 separate groups each looking for 1 more person. Sounds like your just making up excuses so your entire point doesn't fall apart because groups definitely exist in other zones.
So you should choose one of these options;
1.) go back to blue
2.) kill the twinks
3.) die
4.) go to another zone which isnt the shitty CB/Unrest/MM route
5.) Outlevel the low lvl twinks (takes like 2 hours max)
6.) Form your own group in another zone
Helro

As an individual who just came to Red about a month ago. I am loving it.
Do you not hear yourself? You are on a PVP server. This is the nature of the beast. With a full group you get close to 250% bonus exp. EVEN with the griefing, I am leveling twice as fast as when I was on blue. Blue = Security. Red = excitement. A level of excitement that can only be had with unscripted encounters with intelligent predators.
I knew about the Silvers long before I ever arrived at MM. And when I entered I did so knowing full well the possible consequences of my actions.
Herlo, Im just asking you take a step back and really think about where you wanna play... this is not simply a server with a 250% exp bonus. It IS NOT simply easier then blue. It is a whole other beast with a whole other dynamic.
You do not wander into the bear's(Silvers) cave (MM0) and espect him not to maul you.
One that has not pushed away this new player. I have fully embraced it and I am enjoying myself much more then I ever did on blue.
KelticKope
02-15-2015, 06:20 PM
I would go so far as to say, the "griefing" has been the sole creator of the excitement that made me stay on Red.... the exp bonus is just that, a bonus, an extra. A nice bit to sweeten the deal.
Do not come to red for the bonus....
It is not a BONUS EXP server.....
It is a PVP server with bonus exp....

Get your group of players and go to Dalnir, the monks will love you for it! Plus you can kill giants in the WW giant fort till level 36 or kill mobs in OT/FM until ur group of pals all come online. You can sell to the rip off iksar merchant in OT, near the waterhole, or you can go to FV (if you have faction) for a better rate.
The world is your oyster! Who knows, u may even get some help off-peak

True, but Im also not the one preaching to PKers on a pvp server I joined three years ago.
Which, correct me if I'm wrong.... was a PvP server then too...
Who would have ever guessed people would twink and hunt other players?
Gustoo
02-15-2015, 08:15 PM
Best thing to do is enable item loot and get together with some more friends and enjoy trying to get loot from some of these guys.
Otherwise they will always win since it is ez to solo and trash groups but hard to get a decent group together to trash npcs and one half hour cr can ruin a group.
So yeah to answer your question, with no incentive to pvp ever on this server the only thing you can do is avoid it. Just go to east Antonica you won't find a soul for miles.
Hit level 60 join the biggest guild and only log for raids. Mission accomplished you beat eq.
Kergan
02-15-2015, 08:16 PM
As much as I agree with Keltic on this, making the rogue epic only usable 46+ would solve 80% of the twink newb massacre issue. It's pretty rare to have such a constantly talked about issue fixed in such a simple manor.
Gustoo
02-15-2015, 08:55 PM
Yeah epic level req is a no brainer if GMs on live didn't despise the pvp servers this would have been implemented.
But anything else is going too far. It is a slippery slope and we have to hope that staff doesn't consider trashing other items because in many ways level reqs ruined the post velious expansions.
Gustoo
02-15-2015, 08:57 PM
The only reason I support it in this case is because the class is just so close to unstoppable with it. Some drop able daggers are amazing but the epic...owtch.

Leveled all my chars through cb and even with the twinks its great, often i escape without a single death because I get the twinks are only there for like 20-30min at a time, and then go for hours without seeing any.
Samhain has it right, its a test of your character. If you can make it through the zones without quiting like a little girl (they really are not that bad) then your able to cope healthily enough to game, if not your saving time then because at 60 spending time unable to play your character because of a lost pvp battle or a wipe involving pvp is not unheard of.

The problem isn't the fungi Twinks the problem is blues rolling on a pvp server and thinking they can play here like they did on blue. You go to a zone with tunnel vision of exp modifiers wanting to group up and make friends and then are all surprised and wounded when a guy with a ragebringer runs up and two shots ya.
Same thing as lvl 50's who only wanna lvl in KC and take 4-5 deaths a day doing it. Don't matter if your lvl 10 or lvl 50 with that attitude you are still racking up deaths at some point on this server.
If you don't care about pvp, you are gonna get shit on. That means hiding in spots when your vulnerable and have mobs on you. That means checking the who every 20 seconds and taking note of people who come into the zone. You see a guy like this
http://r99pvp.com/showplayer.php?p=Iool
come into your zone and you keep pulling like he aint there and you deserve to die.

most people are p bad at pvp on this box anyway, all it takes to deal with a fungi and ragebringer is a solid druid/war duo with a few bits of rest gear (incase he has a friend) and thorns, sow, and a solid two hander, even from classic, fucking old school blades like bbc would work
Anyway I would come back and shit up your box with my crappy global ooc and other shitty white nurgiting but i'm too busy IRL.

I always stop pulling and head for the zone entrance head on when the twinks zone in... shame I can't drop them before they plug. Pear is the new Iool of unrest and that little shit plugged on me 5 times the other day.
Plugging from a ranger with silver swiftblade, runed bow (but luckily for him I ran out of arrows xp'ing or he'd have died before he ever got a isngle YT), ivy tunic, and an adamantite ring. That's it. Otherwise naked. And this tool got dunked on some 5 times until I finally had to go join another guildie in CT. Pulling rings and plugging is weak. Give me my YT when I earn it out playing you. I don't even have pumices and you get your shit pushed in. I deserve statues of my rags clad ranger and SK in their honor at the entrance of UR and MM for showing the bluebies how to be brave and battle the twinks.
cannot WAIT to be able to get a few of my parked lower level toons geared some to get that YT on the twinks, ruin their leaderboard scores... worth the most points and have the saltiest tears.

They can both enjoy their break. GET YOUR XP freely people of red.
In response to my petition.
"sirken eLanti .: they are both suspended."
Not sure how long because "we arent allowed to discuss player discipline"
Train my group again an FD. - Silvers
Or aggro a mob than run out when you start losing PvP sending the whole zone back.-Makjujuseyo
Eat them suspensions. Hope it taste good. Keep up the shit moves and eat a ban.
If they wouldn't of talked shit AFTER blatant training my exp groups i wouldn't of took the time to set them up.
The server can rejoice and level for a little bit at least as they are both on break CONFIRMED.
Do i get the pras for this? or did i rustle the wrong groups jimmies here now?

is a blue xfer who did a blue to red plat xfer from what I understand...blue to red xfers shouldn't be allowed. Makes it hard for gms to determine rmt and it allows ppl to gain pp and gear on blue (no pvp contest) and xfer them to red where they can then use it as an advantage to lvl and grief toons who geared themselves straight off of the red server. It is no different than rmt or boxing.

Makjujuseyo = Miguel who also boxes his lvl 60 druid to give him buffs. lets also rememeber 95% of the mega twinks in the newbie zones are Holo chars. if you pay attention when holo doesnt have a dragon to kill they are usually playing the griefer alts because they cant handle top end pvp. honestly when was the last time you saw a holo hit squad? never!!! AZ and Fresh are the only 2 guilds on the server that send out 1 maybe 2 groups actually looking for pvp.

02-26-2015, 02:45 PM
now in response to the newbie areas honestly go somewhere else ive know plenty of people willing to port groups to different zones so people can lvl without the fear of there group being destroyed within 5 min of trying to lvl. if your strong enough to just stay in the zone and work through it you will out lvl the twinks very quickly.

No, the problem is definitely the twinks. The twinking isn't 100% of the problem though, they also box their 50+ alts and come in with buffs making them almost invincibleble. And, if you manage to win in the battle they run off with their jboots, levi cloak, incarndine bp or cos and hide behind mobs while their fungi and chloro buff heals them back up or just straight up plug.
And everyone's excuse is "it's pvp." It's definitely nothing like the pvp I remember on classic, and it's just boring.
I'm all for another group coming in and kicking my groups ass and taking our spot, but having some guy run around with god mode and play whack a mole is less than fun and isn't good for server health. When one person mildly entertains themselves by ruining the fun of dozens of others just remove the cancer imo.

I guess it's their right on a pvp server, I just can't help but think of how loser-ish that behavior is.
It's like training to become a black belt in karate and then joining yellow belt sparring competitions. You're gonna rape everyone with no contest and it won't be enjoyable or challenging. The only reason I can see to do it is because they literally have no other way in reality to make themselves feel better/stronger than others?

No, the problem is definitely the twinks. The twinking isn't 100% of the problem though, they also box their 50+ alts and come in with buffs making them almost invincibleble. And, if you manage to win in the battle they run off with their jboots, levi cloak, incarndine bp or cos and hide behind mobs while their fungi and chloro buff heals them back up or just straight up plug.
And everyone's excuse is "it's pvp." It's definitely nothing like the pvp I remember on classic, and it's just boring.
I'm all for another group coming in and kicking my groups ass and taking our spot, but having some guy run around with god mode and play whack a mole is less than fun and isn't good for server health. When one person mildly entertains themselves by ruining the fun of dozens of others just remove the cancer imo.
this IS classic, whether you acknowledge it or not. There has always been twinks. And yes it is PVP, just because it isn't the way YOU want it, there are no rules to limit this sort of gameplay (except the boxing to buff, which should be instant bans IMO since those that do it one time have done it countless times). You argue not good for server health, but neither is any PVP. If this server went blue with the current xp bonus we would jump in population, maybe we should get rid of pvp? /sarcasm off.
There was another post on the forums from a guy who said basically he stayed on this server BECAUSE of that thrill factor. I am the same way, I love when I am on a low lvl toon in a random group and a twink comes in. Trying to get your group to work together to thwart the twink and make him plug is an amazing feeling. Maybe you should try it sometime.

The only issue I have with some of these twinks is the ones that whine to a GM when someone gets them. I'm new to the server (quit EQ in 2001), and have had my ass kicked by a few, one who ignored LNS over and over. When we got a group to kill him and did the same he petitioned the GM.
It's your right to piss on people on the sever, but don't be a bitch if someone gets you back...this double standard is what the server seems to have too much of.
And of course, find a new zone....most are empty or good for a little 2v2 in places like Oasis.

I used to get all upset about the twinks but not anymore... Just plug and play an alt, they get bored and camp quick anyway. Or get off the damned beaten path and level somewhere else. I have to pull teeth to get people to level anywhere besides Faydwer.
Fact is, a lot of times your XP will be faster in an uncontested zone with no twinks regardless of ZEM. TONS of zones that nobody goes to.

the only reason twinks exist is because people won't modify their leveling behavior. they insist on going to zones where a twink has not only the gear advantage but can easily zone.
part of the griefer mentality is extreme cowardice and the loudest, sweetest tears come from killing one and getting walls of text about it. sometimes for days. most people on red don't understand griefer twinks because they aren't angst-driven sociopathic losers. it's only in those addled minds that griefing equates to PvP.

Because of Silvers, Lower, and the rest, I can put together a full group for Splitpaw, Cazic-thule, Najena or Kaesora without much hassle. If unrest/mistmoore were grief-free, I wouldn't be getting to group in these cool places. Everybody would just mindlessly level in unrest/mistmoore. Server pop is low enough that they wouldn't be too over-crowded.
And because of people who unwisely try to level in unrest and mistmoore, that's where the twinks go. So thank you for sacrificing yourselves for the good of the server.
If we really want to mess with them, an updated list of griefers along with their current level and prefered hunting grounds would really annoy them. Parties could LFM with a level range outside of griefers' pvp range.

Low level twinks are basically the gatekeepers to high level content. & it doesn't end there. Once you are level 56 you really start to feel the difference, playing against 60's that have been raiding for the past few years.
Just give up, EQ pvp is terrible.

I appreciate them. Thank you for taking the time to show me some pvp. Who says pvp = fair fights? Maybe you should be playing Warcraft.
If you so choose, gather the numbers necessary to fight back. Here is a morale booster from Iron Maiden.

Like everyone says, if you can't figure out to go to a different zone than the ones twinks are camping.... yeah. The more you cry when someone griefs you, the more grief your going to get, and deserve really.

I leveled a lot in upper guk and was only attacked (or even saw FoH) once. Hopefully you guys are doing a better job now than a couple months ago. That place is supposed to be dangerous.

Every time you encounter one of these people, imagine what kind of strange and pathetic situation they must be suffering through in their real lives in order for them to gain satisfaction from engaging in this sort of griefing activity. The reason they do it is because they feel utterly powerless in their real lives (fat, bad, mad, sad) and thus seek to compensate by engaging in gross and superfluous displays of dominance in a 15 year old elf simulator. So the next time you see a de-leveled Epic Rogue with a Fungi and 200k in gear griefing your group, look past the character to the man behind the keyboard, the 350 lb. unemployed man living off his grandmother's Social Security check, seeking solace for a lifetime of failure by finally feeling like a big man in the only way he knows how: griefing newbies with a tremendously overgeared PK character. You will then find that your anger turns into a mix of confusion and pity. The correct response is therefore not to rage at them, but to pray for them, and to thank God that you were spared the circumstances that led them into such a pathetic existence.

FoH is much like real Flowers, sometimes we have a hard winter, but come spring we grow like crazy. Spring in coming fellas. Hope your ready.

Love it or hate it, twinks were part of original EQ PvP. I remember getting wrecked in 2001 by fungi rogues (Though not so much the Ragebringers). Just accept it, LnS and go XP somewhere else. Does it hurt the population? Possibly. However, it's also true to vanilla, and many other things that were true to vanilla, such as corpse runs, boat rides, fizzles, food/drink concerns, med times, and overall difficulty of the game may also hurt the population. The only thing we're selling here is nostalgia, and if we abandon things that make EQ what it was, we begin to lose even that.

It's not a bad thing. It's a good thing for twinks to come try to gank, even if you get ganked, man it's the experience. It makes it fun. You might win some, you might lose some, but you'll still feel that exhilaration from someone tryin to get that uber pk on you, whether you win or lose. That's what it's all about.

The only difference I've seen is the the gear of the twinks, the slower progression of the server has allowed better geared twinks than at the same point during classic. And people are now much more familiar with the game (where to level, tricks for levelling) so they could get that higher gear faster.
hen I stopped playing back in 2001-2002 people knew way less about the the game, even the basic game mechanics. This means they were a little slower during the first run of the game, but most of us now are faster too...according to the poll only 3% of the server is brand new to EQ.

[complaining is]... Like running into traffic and getting hit by a car and then using it as an excuse to ban cars.
Running into traffic suggests he started the fight.
This scenario sounds more like waiting til the road crossing is green, crossing, then getting purposely mowed down by some redneck in a huge pick up screaming YEEHAWW and playing Deliverance at volume 11, shooting Smith N Wessons out of each hand, whilst chewing tobacco, wearing a chequered red and black sleeveless shirt.
In summary; smd red f4gs, your server is lul.
