Triumphant Return

[Turtle Guy]

Thinking of making a comeback to EQ and hitting up the Red server with my brother and two friends around Xmas. Just got out of the Corps and back into civilian life so figured why not. I had a full account on EQ Mac of all epic'd out chats and what not. How hard is it to come up as a noobian here? Is Red server a shit fest???

[SamwiseRed]

i wouldnt do it unless your real life sucks.

[Kergan]

lol

[Turtle Guy]

That bad nowadays huh?

[SamwiseRed]

if attempting to murder senior citizens with a mace in real life is bad then yeah.

[Turtle Guy]

Butttttt honestly how is the end game on this server atm? And are people here assholes to new guys running around in CB/Unrest?

[Xaanka]

samwise is a depressed loser don't mind him. red server isn't very hard to come up on these days. join thunderdome.

[Xaanka]

there aren't many pvp twinks these days. they're mostly on their mains in velious or bored or suspended deleted etc. the ones who are still around have short attention spans and go away if you camp for 5min. the really nasty ones are gone.

end game is very 1 sided right now. it's join empire or lol.

EQ Mac was the same. One guild dominated end game content and made it into Plane of Time. Everyone else was shafted eating leftovers and barely getting into the Ssra rotations and late Luclin shieeet. Looking forward to it.

MY ancesters migrated to the earth some 300 thousand years ago from the destroyed solar systems of alpha and beta centauri solar systems , a great war resulted in ruins of those extra solar worlds , the inhabitants of those worlds were very much like like the native inhabitants of earth , so there was a mingling of the species, JUST SAYIN ! genetic memory .

Twinks do roam. Just get your gang leveled up and decide now not to stall out at low 50s and get distracted farming whatever. Get 60 and have fun.
Try not to join the zerg instantly and morph into a nerd complaining theirs no competiton whilst tagged with half the server.

Good luck .

Epics now require lvl 46 to equip. So instead of delvled ppl with fungi's and epics you now have 100% UNTOUCHABLE delvled twinks with full Ntov gear - 100hp and 15sv all items in every slot.

Stfu man. When I checked Mistmoore on red last Sunday, just for shits n giggles, there were 13 people in the zone.

11 of those 13 people were best in slot, deleveled, fungi twinks with Ntov loots.

[Kerwin]

11 twinks with ntov loots lol ok, ive saw rocknrolla there i think which is fandangos de lvled alt maybe with velious loot but thats it

[Feanol]

samwise is a depressed loser don't mind him. red server isn't very hard to come up on these days. join thunderdome.

Quoted for truth. That Sam guy still posts everyday in forums for a game he discourages people from playing. Not to be trusted for reliable advise.


Red99 is healthier than it's ever been since I started playing about a year ago. The population is at an average peak of 280+. A single guild does top-end Velious uncontested, but as a new player to the server this matters very little.

A large leveling guild called Thunderdome helps lowbies get on their feet and learn the playing field (shameless plug (http://thunderdome99.enjin.com/home)) and once you're self sufficient several small guilds are competing over Classic/Kunark raid targets.

Hope to see you out there! The community is much more positive and welcoming than these forsaken forums would have you believe.

[deadlycupcakez]

Agreed don't listen to samwise - he tries to hide the fact that he's still playing here, leveling toons to mid 40s and re rolling them to repeat.

There are currently no twinks that cannot be addressed by one person in some basic mithril and a 9-10 dmg weapon. Props if you have a group with you.

Handled rocknrolla in both CB and MM with a little engulfing darkness and an 8/28 Velium battle axe.

Come join the fun my brother just finally started too

i am not against people playing red99 at all btw. it is a great institution for crazy people. I donate monthly to keep these people off the streets.

Thanks squire. I'm actually still on terminal until tomorrow. Already enrolled with the GI Bill and staying out here in Cali. I was in that shithole 29 Palms. Anyways just looking for a fun time. If I gonna be rolled up by the twins squad in full dragon gear everywhere I go I guess thanks for the heads up.

[bubur]

dont mind samwise

sometimes hes cool but other times like for example now he's a gayboi. red99 poppin as ever (which is not sayin much but really better than usual pop etc)

[SamwiseRed]

dont mind samwise

he's cool when he says something I agree with but otherwise he's gay

neither of the people saying that play on this server. they're trolling you. none of the twinks on this server have ntov gear.

[Xaanka]

i've leveled over 15 characters past level 50 on this server and didn't twink a single one of them. here's a guide on how to deal with pvp twinks:
- pumice them and they'll go away
- camp for 5 min and they'll go away
- join thunderdome and get druid buffs and they'll go away
- don't level the cookie cutter leveling path for bad players (gfay -> cb -> unrest -> mm -> com) and you won't ever see a griefer. there's better dungeons at every level range.

[SamwiseRed]

eh who cares about twinks, there is no loss in this game. he asked if it was a shitfest and I was merely pointing out that the amount of loons on red99 rivals arkem asylum. population is good but its densely populated by autism, unemployment, pedos, with a few normies few and far in between.

if you cant deal with twinks then I don't know what to tell you. the above guy gave some good tips. it's not rocket science.

[Xaanka]

there's only 3 lord bob axes on the server that i'm aware of and only 1 of them is even on a twink character. the other two are rotting in peoples' banks, i'd know because i own one of them. so basically there's only 1 twink on the server that could even possibly be "best in slot" saying there's 11 of them is a joke.

if a twink doesn't have a bob axe i can pretty much guarantee you can run to the nearest zoneline when you see them, and they won't be able to kill you.

u gotta be a rich hoe dogg

[Colgate]

was almost my bob axe

we left before we cleared down to him when it was up cause they released the fear/hate revamp

[Xaanka]

i don't even know what to do with it. im too nice to release Doljon's Rage upon the red leveling population.

[Turtle Guy]

What's the safest leveling path to take on red to avoid gankin gay boys

[Xaanka]

nah it procs a 140dd at level 1, best weapon in the game by a long shot under lvl 30 or so.

kurns or highpass -> upper guk or WW giants -> highkeep -> whatever -> sebilis/hs
only spot with ganking gayboys is sebilis but it's worth it.
all those spots are better exp than the cookie cutter shit every noob does on this server.

[SamwiseRed]

What's the safest leveling path to take on red to avoid gankin gay boys

youll out level most gankers in an hour or so. the xp bonus is retardly insane. even i made it to 60 as an untwinked troll warrior in about 2 weeks while on vaca. i never ran from gankers and just fought them til they left.

[Turtle Guy]

Man I love seb so much....worth it. No one goes to Kurns to gank? Wtf is this server run by the Obama Administration?

[Turtle Guy]

One last thing. What's the ideal class build for a group of three? I'm gonna guess something with an Enchanter? I know monks are OP in velious because of the armor scaling and their damage mitigation is crazy. But having a group of three seems ideal for charm tanking. Suggestions???

Monk, Ench, Shaman

Necro, Ench, Shaman

Shaman, Ench, Mage

Ench, Ench, Cleric

Pretty much any combo of those classes. Druid might be nice for ports

sham/monk/ench or cleric or magician or necro if you want to be pve superstars and farm stuff at 60

cleric/enchanter/tank or monk

etc. go with a tank if you want to fill your group up with pub's and be social, go with a charm group if you wanna trio.

[Turtle Guy]

Necro Ench sham better than monk Ench sham?

[Turtle Guy]

Thanks for the feedback btw. Ja boi appreciate that mayne.

[Colgate]

ideal group would prob be monk, shaman, and enchanter/cleric

[Turtle Guy]

Thanks Colgate. Is that you in your pic? Nice smile bro. I mained a monk through my original EQ years and it's always been my favorite class. How do you get along here with no gate?? I always ended up grabbing puppet strings for the gate hammer, but I'm guessing those aren't commonplace around Red. Also, monks are heavily gear reliant from my experiences and that's not ideal for a start up from scratch. We were thinking Ench Sham Necro, but I have no idea about necros end game....

[Maelzai]

Enchanter Sham Necro is probably the best lvling combo you could do if you dont include swarm kiting. 2 charm pets + heals = mobs dying instantly.
And then once you get to 60 you can easily get yourself a fungi and some weapons and make a monk, level it up in no time. I dont have any experience playing a necro in pvp here, but i feel like they can be fairly good as long as you have the right items and know wat you are doing.

[Xaanka]

Necro Ench sham better than monk Ench sham?

monk ench sham is better at high levels because you have someone to tank summoning mobs & a puller. necro ench sham is better for leveling. monks are gear dependent but you guys could pick up a rogue and maybe coth mage and farm fungis. farm pom as a group. etc.

[SamwiseRed]

wizard paladin paladin

[Maelzai]

Also enc/shm/necro dont need a shitton of gear to be useful in pve.

Fungis can be fairly easily done with decent geared Enc/Shm, get a FD puller and its cake.

[GreenRanger]

@Turtle Guy I'd wait for either discord server to finally launch "WITHIN THE YEAR" (dont hold your breath)
or wait till devs realise how necrotic the server has become since season 1 of rmt and finally flood all the sodomites & wipe the server clean. or the long forgotten teams99 server (YEAH RIGHT)

currently there is a lot of better games out right now like drinking bleach or fallout 4 (both equally entertaining)

if your a normal individual you will probably get to mid 40's early 50's and never log back in.
if your like any of the rest of the server you have some sort of obsessive/drug addiction who is working his/her way to the upper echelon
in a guild waiting for your perfect time to back stab a guild mate and or raid leader over fucking pixels. (its a pvp server right?)

[vouss]

end game is very 1 sided right now. it's join empire or lol.

TMO is a pretty good alternative

[Turtle Guy]

Dying and permadeath are different things. Scared.

[Kergan]

They should start calling it a permakill server, like a glass is half full approach. The idea of knowing you just shit on 100+ hours of someones life will appeal to this crowd.

[Dillian]

Its a small world and a small corp. I was in the marines. I eas'ed in 2002 from camp lejuene. I was with the 2nd fssg 2nd maint bn. Figured i should see if i knew you. I blamed my marine buddy for all things eq related lol

I was in 3rd Bn 4th Mar out of 29 Palms, the shit hole of all shit holes.

[Xaanka]

Fungis can be fairly easily done with decent geared Enc/Shm, get a FD puller and its cake.

its a lot safer to bring a corpse dragger and coth'er, i'd be willing to guess the saved time would average out more plat than you'd lose out on having 2 more to roll against or in your group's loot rotation. if you have a bunch of alts to park there its not as big of a deal, but its still really nice to have a rogue down there for pvp threats.

[Xaanka]

TMO is a pretty good alternative

agree, and they're all really chill people to play with. i had nothing but good times in that guild. really hope xepiz and i didn't kill it when we left :(
i'd actually recommend tmo over empire to anyone who isn't already established on red when i think about it. empire may be the dominant guild in the endgame by a long shot, but you're going to have a lot easier of a time getting members in tmo to help you out when you need it. everyone's doing their own thing in empire, which is fine, but you aren't exactly going to find people jumping at the chance to help you with an epic kill or port you for a CR unless you're friends.

[Dillian]

[Turtle Guy]

Looks like the pop is usually around 200? That seems pretty decent though the blue server floats around 1k plus. Economy is probably better on blue but red server sounds like a hell of a lot more fun than some PVE wait around for the best spawns rotation. Does anyone know if there's currently a server/emulator that's locked at POP??
