It's time to consider red

took a little time reading rnf to see what was up with my blue counterparts. lol you guys have bottom-tier guilds asking for loot back when people quit? you have to wait in line to kill raid mobs?

not understanding why so many people have blue server stockholm-syndrome. come on over to redder pastures!

New red druid's log:

I find my first cracked staff and use it to attack other naked humans in Qeynos. They seem completely confused as to why I declined their group invitation for "crazy sick bonuses" and that I'm demanding one of us dies.

Looking for a fight, I OOC that I've got bone chips if anyone wants to come out and fight for them. Unfortunately no takers.

A high level gnome wizard was at the gates of Qeynos who I /dueled and got promptly nuked to death. IDGAF gnomes don't belong here go back to your jerk machine mountain.

I blindly get invited to a leveling guild for protection, safety and grouping opportunities which is promptly declined. Why limit myself on who I pick fights with? The best people to group with are those you fight to the death with, realize they don't cry about pvp and then you mutually agree you could both kill more by teaming up.

I gave some naked guy a good joust thrashing and he ran to the guards. Another nearly naked person logged in and they both started attacking me. Sent them both to the gates. I would have just died because its a pvp server.

Once I could afford a nuke I sent some person to the purple club where I teabagged their nearly-dead body for a good minute or two, put my staff in my backpack and punched them to death.

Everyone is /role which is dumb and I refuse to do it. I want people to know where they can find a fight.

TL/DR: I don't really care about the end-game on red atm because the journey getting there seems to be where the fun is at if you aren't in a rush. Keep that in mind and you'll enjoy it.

[Kerwin]

I played blue for years, went red and never came back to blue just give it a try no promises you will like it but i highly enjoy it over blue

more content open, more skilled players, there is more to eq than sitting in ec tunnel

[Expediency]

Most of the people who want you to "try red" never tried red themselves. They traded a bunch of wealth on blue to get red plat or items, and had social capital to find groups of people they already knew from blue. If you're a new player to p99 and you elect to go red have fun getting steamrolled.

[Kerwin]

simple not true, i started a character with nothing lvl up, it all just depends where you group and learning the basics of pvp

i now have everything i want and tov gear in a 3 month span with multiple twinks

LOL I <3 Fandango! but all these bluebies talking trash about red is simply dumb, Ive never played blue for the fact its waaaaay 2 over crowded, if I wanted 2 farm a Runed Bone Fork I would have to wait for hours on end. Here on red almost any camp I goto is open, I get what I need and then move onto the next camp, sooooo easy. If you do decide to come to Red I would Suggest a good Farming class in which most of them are good at Soloing. For a First toon I went with a druid for the movement, then second I went with a necro for massive farming so now I can give my druid what I have farmed and simply port to any noob grounds to give him the things that I have Farmed on my necro so its a win win and I never have to Leave noob grounds at LvL 1. In all honesty you dont have to do all that but I would suggest making a toon that you can Solo and easily farm with. and if you've never been on red, when you go farming on red you will simply fall in love with the server for that reason....you wont be waiting in line behind 10 other people for a camp because usually there is no one at that camp and if there is well fight eachother to the death for the camp! LONG LIVE RED!

haha great post

Also I have to agree, the journey of pvp while leveling is by far the best, well said

[Skinnah]

Ahahahaah If youre on Red I might be able to help it wont be with anything amazing tho

[Kerwin]

damn i think i was there for that fight on my cleric i didnt last long got focused to hell, so many skellys

[Kerwin]

fandango thinks hes some superior rogue because hes high on heroin and kills non empire folks mostly tmo who are still learning the aspect of pvp

this guy is blue as they come, he came from blue and never played live server pvp he will also backstab you any chance he gets, thats what drug addicts do

he was once my friend that i tried to help get started on red and he flipped a switch went retarded and now hates me

[Skinnah]

Oh shit! this is real?

[Swish]

Accusations of moving blue plat to red...red Swish started as a naked enchanter and it was hell for 12 levels, but like in any other game where you start from scratch you eventually prevail and meet some great chums along the way.

I did trade about 100k blue in when I retired but better to use it than to lose it...dont be mad that they stopped it now, help is still at hand for new starters, see red server chat.

nah i started on red without anything, not even spell plat. rolled a druid to 54 and became officer and then GM of a leveling guild, self farmed all my gear. met a lot of cool pals on red & rerolled a rogue main in banded armor, couple months later I'm one of the best geared rogues on the server while playing in underdog guilds. i've never done a blue->red xfer, actually haven't logged on blue once since i rolled red.

consider red.

not to mention you have a fucking 300 page long thread called the solo artist challange.

so no.

red server forces you to group and establish meaningful friendships out of necessity to survive, still not understanding how blue's don't get this. server's lower pop and feels less dead than blue. lol.

Theyre just hearing what they want to hear and not what they dont...

Really theyre only concern is that everyone is going to leave blue and then they will never have a shot at being a pixel king.

[Swish]

flip to the other side for a second, those who really do insist on soloing despite newbie gear (necros can pull it off) should learn quicker that certain camps aren't a good idea...and camps usually 24/7 occupied are sometimes available.

So solo if you must but you're better off in at least a duo...definitely make friends if you can, most people are friendly - just stay alert ;)

red server rewards you for grouping, blue server penalizes you for grouping unless you're grouping with the ~perfect class combo~

feel bad for any blue server rangers lol

I heard theres servers where anyone can be a GM and instantly spawn any item they want in their inventory. They're single player servers just like Red99.

[Doors]

I mean blue sucks I've played it. If thats your thing then more power to ya but honestly red suffers from neglect and poor management and that's not the players fault.

The new no blue to red trades rule is just another stupid ass decision to blanket cover rmt situations but its completely lazy and hurts the red server.

Shit like that is why the population takes massive hits.

I agree, the no transfer rule is not a good choice. I usually just roll with the punches because ultimately it is up to them to do what they want to do.. but the no transfer rule seem a little overboard and I can imagine it might stop a couple transfers, or at least postpone them(yowll are going to make the switch eventually, bite the bullet!)..

..but hey if that means no transfers to new servers like Green99 discord or whatever may come? More power to em I guess.. idk

but yea I dont disagree with you about that Doors.

Red99 Experience bonus is NOT CLASSIC.

Consider purging Red 99.

None of what you said is true, except for how the first thing you say is "I've never played on Blue" that's pretty clear

Also I love your suggestion to create a character on Red that you can solo farm with, because that's exactly what you'll be doing

Only if you choose too ^^ I've spent FAR more time LFG in blue than I ever have on red. On both servers the simple solution is to just form your own group ^^ The great thing about red is that when you do that, there are open camps for your new party to xp at :D

Thankfully several people I've met on blue with mental or anger type disorders, or just plain negative and unenjoyable to be around, have left blue to play red. They fit in well there. I encourage any other blue players who have these sort of issues to migrate to red where it will feel like home.

Cool which blue raiding guild were you in?

[thufir]

Ive never played blue for the fact its waaaaay 2 over crowded

never understood this sentiment. on live Xegony server regularly had 2000+ people on. p99 blue rarely gets above 1500. if by "overcrowded" you mean "classic player counts" sure.

yeah the high end is more occupied than it was on classic, but red high end seems to go the other way - there's one guild that gets whatever it wants and every other guild can pick up the crumbs ifwhen Empire lets them. neither classic really.

as usual it boils down to opinion preference, but you always have to wonder why red bothers recruiting when it cites its lower player base as an asset.

True, red is known for its upstanding morally superb citizens, to think that they might be the thing forcing GMs into early retirement is just absurd.

I like that a lot. +1 if there's a sparkle train in ooc like Force used to do with their guild name lawl.


On another note that blue server lawyer thread really makes me think more people would enjoy red than they'd openly care to admit. I bet even the sternest of critics have a secret red character - log it in and get it some levels :)
