I'd like to reach out to the pals I made while I played on this server. I know some of you are disillusioned by the raid scene and rules put in place to keep the competition "fair". In short, it's been a disaster.

This server is comprised of way to many high end raiders participating in an arms race. People are pushing the envelope of what's acceptable and creating an amazing razor's edge of competition. Unfortunately, this is often at the expense of new rules being created to stifle creativity and encourage more time invested into preparing for raids, tracking, and logging in instantly at any hour of the day.

At this point, it's pretty clear. You're not playing a game anymore. Some of the most fun I've had were the rush of those old PD races. It was exhilarating, but it came at the cost of sitting at your chair with your hand hovering on your keyboard for up to 16 hours at a time. This just seems insane to me now.

I left this server just over a year ago to start fresh on red. I joined at a time when cross server transfers were legal but I didn't really utilize them. I started fresh on a server without any gear on a class I've never played before (Necromancer) and without any clue how to PvP.

It was more rewarding than I can even express. Seeing the game in a whole new way without the stress of petition quest was amazing.

I joined a small guild and we leveled up quickly. I was level 35 before I even upgraded my starter level 1 robe. Yes, we came across fungi twinks. Yes, they killed a few of us but the xp rate was so accelerated that you never had to worry about the same twink for more than a day before you had leveled beyond their range (+ or - 4 levels).

I had a blast. Level 30 pvp was just as thrilling as any PD race. I died. I learned. I made more friends with the people fighting me than any random groups on blue. I felt like I did playing eq for the first time 15 years ago. I just saw PvP as a method to resolve disputes without GMs. A red friend who came from blue said, "it's like trying to describe what sex is like to someone whose never had it."

I'm not going to say it's perfect but I will say it's nothing like the toxic community these forums make it out to be. It's the same as blue - there's good and bad but overwhelmingly more good people. The absence of variance or insane raid rules more than makes up for a handful of Crushbone griefers.

If a group of people were to come from blue and form up on red, you would be surprised at how easily you could establish a foothold on the raid scene. I know you guys have seen this thread a thousand times in a thousand ways but being able to raid at set times 3 hours a night, 4 nights a week is something that everyone should be able to do in velious, even without joining the top guild. Here's a writeup from Gongshow in empire on the topic:

Sleepless in Norrath: Thoughts on Blue, Red, Competition and more. (http://www.empirer99.com)
Posted by Admin on February 9, 2016

(Also a shameless plug for our great server!)

Hi.

Let me preface this by saying that this is in no way a troll, or an attempt to slander our Blue brothers. What I want this to be is a spark. A catalyst that ignites a more intelligent discussion on the age old debate: Blue vs. Red.

Why now? The answer is obvious. The Sleeper is now awake on Blue. The community is at each other’s throats. Guild suspensions are rampant. Red stands to offer everyone a new way of life. One that is free from the constraints of insane rules, 16 hour variance windows, and a primal-less and Warder-less future. That’s right – I want those of you who are jaded and confused to look to Red. Start fresh. Control your own destiny. Play EverQuest how it was meant to be played.

UNDERSTANDING RED

The biggest roadblock to the Red server has always been misunderstanding. Red is played up to be a toxic server full of trash talking and training and griefing. It is viewed as a prison of sorts, to “keep those players off of Blue.” This could not be further from the truth. Sure, you will find your share of griefers and trash talking, but overall, the server is in a great place.

The rules on Blue and the rules on Red are night and day. Blue has variance. Red does not. Blue has FTE. Red does not. Blue has convoluted raid rules that require a law degree to understand. Red does not.

What does this mean in terms of real gameplay?

Variance: On Blue, guilds need to be ready within a 16 hour window to engage their raid targets. This generally requires a raid force on standby, a person ducking Call of the Hero for up to 15+ hours, and a person waiting to spam a Mallet on a mob. Often times this is done with the help of autofire programs. On Red, there is no variance. The mob spawns exactly 3, 5, 7 days from when it was killed. Everyone knows the timers. You can show up and prepare however you see fit, and the winner gets the dragon. No bullshit.

First to Engage: On Blue, once a guild is in position, the FTE is the deciding factor on who gets to kill the dragon. On Red, you claim your dragons by winning the PVP and being ready for the spawn. No bullshit.

Raid rules: On Blue, Variance and FTE and numerous other factors including “stalling”, training, not having sufficient forces on FTE, camping in the wrong part of the zone for a mob, etc. can affect whether or not you actually get to keep the loot from the dragon you just killed, or whether your guild will be suspended from raiding for a week. On Red, the only thing stopping you from another dragon is your enemy. No bullshit.

Notice the common theme: No bullshit. Red offers you the ability to play EverQuest and take matters into your own hands without asinine rules and hoops to jump through. You secure the zone, you take your targets, and you leave. No bullshit.

THE RAID SCENE

Empire currently reigns supreme, and there is no end in sight. We make no bones about that. To be blunt, the uphill battle for a number 2 to overthrow Empire at this point, is extremely steep. That being said, number 2 is currently a mixture of Friends and Casual Scum (and sometimes both), though neither have the leadership or solid reputation to make big enough waves. This is where Blue could come into play.

With a solid game plan and some thick skin, a crew of 150 players from Blue could come over and be level 60 in a month, work on epics and Growth gear, Kunark targets, weaker Velious targets, etc. and be well ingrained into the raid scene within 3 months tops. All it requires is some level headed leadership and willingness to succeed, two things the Red server guilds outside of Empire severely lack.

LEAVING BLUE BEHIND

If you are worried about starting over, realize that outside of the few legacy items, everything can be obtained on Red. The XP rates are faster, more camps are open, and even if they aren’t – you have the ability to literally take ANY camp that you want, at ANY time. Pretty great right?

Another issue that is always a hot topic is the population. Sure, Red is never going to be as dense as Blue. It never was on Live, it never will be here. That being said, do not let the numbers fool you. On average, say Blue has 1000 players online. Red has 250. How many of those players on Blue are AFK, or sitting in EC spamming sales? 250-300? How many are just logging on and chatting in /gu, or sitting in a zone not really “playing” EQ? Another 100? How many are boxing? Subtract some of the bullshit, and you are left with maybe 600-700 people actively engaged in EverQuest. On Red, everyone is ALWAYS actively engaged because you can’t AFK. If you log into Red, you need to be ready to fight at any given time. The population difference isn’t as bad as it seems at a glance, and is certainly nothing to worry about.

Lastly, the grief. You have our word that we will not grief or disrupt your raids, just as we did not grief TMO’s when they came to Red. Sure, we may show up and fight you, probably kill you here and there, but we will always rez you up and allow you to continue your raid, possibly even help you with it. We will also help fend off “real” grief from the other guilds on the server until you are comfortable standing on your own. There are plenty of mobs for the taking here due to the nature of our schedule and the incompetence of current competition – come seize the opportunity.

DISCLAIMER: For those that are appalled at the ability to kill other players in game, let us remind you and reassure you: EverQuest is a PVE game first and foremost. It always has been, and always will be. The Red server is still PVE-centric. It’s not “Counter Strike with Elves” – it’s just EverQuest. EverQuest that gives you the opportunity to take matters into your own hands and resolve disputes without the need for GM intervention and threads dedicated to guild suspensions.

TL:DR

Come to Red.

There is no better time than right now. Talk it over with your friends and your guild(s) and take the plunge. I guarantee once you get your footing, you will never look back – just ask any of the many Blue to Red converts that make up the Red server today.

Hope to see some of you in the future.

Project 1999 Red: No bullshit. Just EverQuest.

If you're interested in starting on red please shoot me a PM. I can help out with some starter weapons or plat for spells.

Thanks for reading,

Heebo/Yibz

This all made sense, and I'm not even trying to troll here, but let's assume an entire blue guild moved to red, and let's even use BDA as the example (we're talking a 150 person casual roster, 40-50 usually for a scheduled raid) - what's to stop Empire from just mollywhopping them?

Empire is going to have a MASSIVE advantage in gear, in numbers, and in pvp experience. If the allure of red is that it's this place to pvp sometimes and raid casually what's the difference between what BDA is doing right now on blue versus attempting to crack the very high end content on red and getting summarily crushed? I could maybe see something like this working if /movelog was a thing, but I can't see any entire guild moving from blue and grinding through levels and gear only to know that a full NToV/ST geared army of Unsullied awaits.

Id be totally fine with people /movelog but maybe we'll just haev to wait till RE99 lets you choose which server to send your alt to when it resets.

I honestly believe that movelog is the only legitimate option to get people on red. Blue players don want to start from scratch, especially when they have resources on the blue server to twink an alt or play with all their blue friends. Even PvP is the goal why isn't some sort of battle server available? You can move a copy of your blue or red toon into the battle server and have some fun. Crushbone battle arena was a fun distraction, same kinda concept would work.

I understand where you are coming for because that is how I viewed red... Until I tried it. The number or obstacle for blue players will be adopting the mindset needed to have fun on a pvp server. Even many players on red struggle with it. The key is to not be a poor sport. Someone pushes you out of a camp? Get better. They are higher level? Level up. They have better gear? Get better gear. They brought friends? Bring some friends. There is always a solution. Like pve those solutions require time investment. Unlike pve you can't cry to an authority or attempt to lawyer your way out of defeat. You lost? Accept it and resolve to do better ^^ Ask the person who defeated you for pointers. Invite them to your group. Have fun.

There are jackasses for sure, but I would say in no greater proportion (and likely lower) than on blue.

So you basically said "git guud"

It still doesn't answer my question of what happens when you cap out and Empire is the barrier? Is "get better" still applicable? That's going to be the mindset of people coming from blue. If anything this is an advertisement for Empire life. High end uncontested raiding on a friendly schedule with PvP in your spare time wearing best in slot gear. That's the allure of red. Troubledour told me so.

Well "have fun" is the ethos of success on red, though if your fun is hampered by being pk'd the , yes "git guud" is the mantra. That doesn't differ markedly from Blue.

NToV/ST gear does have an impact on pvp, but it's not an I win button. Clickies in general have more impact.

Yeah, you're right. Better to just not try in fear of trying because of "maybe" and "would if" and "what's to stop x from y".

PvP is scary the first few times you do it. So is training fear for a CT engage. Or running up to pull Phara Dar with everyone counting on you. It gets easier each time you do it and eventually becomes the most fun part of the game.

Why is this always the response? I've never liked PvP combat in MMO games. Has nothing to do with it being "scary" or "hard" etc, it's just not appealing to me. The older I get, the less desire I have to partake in it as well.

I'm glad there are people that enjoy it, and certainly happy that you folks have the option to do so. But why is it so hard to accept that there are those of us that simply don't care for it? And yes, I tried it back on PvP servers waaaaaaay back in the day for EQ. It was just meh to me.

A blue startup could overcome Empire's advantage with sheer numbers. Honestly, the quality of a person's gear doesn't matter hugely when it comes to mass PvP - it's all dispell via pumice and golem wand, lures, tstaffs, and windstrikers. A blue startup would have the opportunity to farm all of these items with near impunity. Even people with poor Everquest skills and even worse PvP skills can learn to be 90% as effective as the best PvPers very quickly by learning to assist the MA, spam a pumice, and then follow up with whatever role they fulfill. There's a certain point where the numbers overwhelm the advantage, and this threshold decreases as your players' skills improve. Empire is still going very strong, but you would be coming in at a time when we're not always at our strongest - it's just the nature of the game that people start to fizzle out, though our leaders have done a nice job recruiting. Being a part of a #2 guild attempting to give the #1 a run for their money is one of the most rewarding experiences playing Everquest, I think. Starting on red would be a great opportunity for a credible group of people to grit their teeth and muster up some strategery and make some plays.

But that's the problem.. if BDA (hypothetically) decided to move over, how many of their 150 members would quit or change guilds on blue? Probably lots.. pvp just doesn't appeal to many people and Red's had a huge stigma for years now.

The most realistic scenario is what TMO tried to do and failed. Don't see any guild bringing over 'overwhelming numbers'.

There were only about 12 people who were not playing red at all and joined up with <TMO> and they still accomplished an incredible amount. If their leadership hadn't stopped logging in they would still be the undisputed #2 guild. If they had brought 50 they would be going back and forth for #1 in my opinion.

ATM there is only 137 people on Red compared to Blue's 946. Even if you take 200 people out of that there is still triple the amount of people on Blue. Not to mention most of those 137 are probably all 60s spread across a few high end zones. I've leveled so many chars I'm not interested in doing it again alone. Crushbone being empty is just a sad sight.

The OP has presented a better argument than most join red posts. But he still misses the fact that most people on blue don't actually petition. There is a handful of guild lawyers that deal with all that. If your guild does get suspended for something -- it is usually 1 mob for 2 weeks. Not really worth quitting the server over -- especially in Velious.

You also seem to think that petitions defeat the whole purpose of the game (which is competition of course). If the whole point of the game is to bully people out of the zone through PvP...than yea petitions are antithetical to that. However, blue players might not inherently hate petition solutions with the same fervor.

I played before there were barely any raid rules on blue, it was tremendously improved after the rules were introduced. When petitioning was low and TMO insta engaged everything -- the server was a lot worse than when petitioning was high a few years later and multiple guilds competed.

Finally, the OP assumes that petitioning wont ever become an issue on red -- not matter how many people join the server and how much competition is created. I have already heard people bitching about Empire petitionquesting last time they had any competition.

I'd like to reach out to the pals I made while I played on this server. I know some of you are disillusioned by the raid scene and rules put in place to keep the competition "fair". In short, it's been a disaster.

This server is comprised of way to many high end raiders participating in an arms race. People are pushing the envelope of what's acceptable and creating an amazing razor's edge of competition. Unfortunately, this is often at the expense of new rules being created to stifle creativity and encourage more time invested into preparing for raids, tracking, and logging in instantly at any hour of the day.

At this point, it's pretty clear. You're not playing a game anymore. Some of the most fun I've had were the rush of those old PD races. It was exhilarating, but it came at the cost of sitting at your chair with your hand hovering on your keyboard for up to 16 hours at a time. This just seems insane to me now.

I left this server just over a year ago to start fresh on red. I joined at a time when cross server transfers were legal but I didn't really utilize them. I started fresh on a server without any gear on a class I've never played before (Necromancer) and without any clue how to PvP.

It was more rewarding than I can even express. Seeing the game in a whole new way without the stress of petition quest was amazing.

I joined a small guild and we leveled up quickly. I was level 35 before I even upgraded my starter level 1 robe. Yes, we came across fungi twinks. Yes, they killed a few of us but the xp rate was so accelerated that you never had to worry about the same twink for more than a day before you had leveled beyond their range (+ or - 4 levels).

I had a blast. Level 30 pvp was just as thrilling as any PD race. I died. I learned. I made more friends with the people fighting me than any random groups on blue. I felt like I did playing eq for the first time 15 years ago. I just saw PvP as a method to resolve disputes without GMs. A red friend who came from blue said, "it's like trying to describe what sex is like to someone whose never had it."

I'm not going to say it's perfect but I will say it's nothing like the toxic community these forums make it out to be. It's the same as blue - there's good and bad but overwhelmingly more good people. The absence of variance or insane raid rules more than makes up for a handful of Crushbone griefers.

If a group of people were to come from blue and form up on red, you would be surprised at how easily you could establish a foothold on the raid scene. I know you guys have seen this thread a thousand times in a thousand ways but being able to raid at set times 3 hours a night, 4 nights a week is something that everyone should be able to do in velious, even without joining the top guild. Here's a writeup from Gongshow in empire on the topic:



If you're interested in starting on red please shoot me a PM. I can help out with some starter weapons or plat for spells.

This all made sense, and I'm not even trying to troll here, but let's assume an entire blue guild moved to red, and let's even use BDA as the example (we're talking a 150 person casual roster, 40-50 usually for a scheduled raid) - what's to stop Empire from just mollywhopping them?

Empire is going to have a MASSIVE advantage in gear, in numbers, and in pvp experience. If the allure of red is that it's this place to pvp sometimes and raid casually what's the difference between what BDA is doing right now on blue versus attempting to crack the very high end content on red and getting summarily crushed? I could maybe see something like this working if /movelog was a thing, but I can't see any entire guild moving from blue and grinding through levels and gear only to know that a full NToV/ST geared army of Unsullied awaits.


Chest, from what I gather on the boards this has already happened bro. TMO tried Red, and Empire griefed them off the server once they was a few months away from possibly being a threat. That's what I find funny though. These Red99 guys BEG people to come over to their server just to have fresh meat to troll and grief. It's a never ending cycle over there. People buy into their "Try Red" BS, after they start to level and gear up some they grief people off the sever before they can be a threat to their zero competition pixels.

Yeah this is 100% true we wiped TMO day after day on every mob/raid they tried and forced them to loot and leave, after a few short weeks the guild collapsed and mostly everyone joined Empire.

If a new guild were to start on Red coming from Blue I can assure you it would be hell.

you give yourself too much credit. you actually spent months, not "short weeks" doing such, and it really did have minimal impact to our morale. what killed the guild were internal factors for the most part. darkdeath burned out on being shoehorned into single handedly leading the guild, and no other leadership figures stepped up to lessen the burden. gotta keep in mind the guy never signed up to lead the guild, he just stepped up out of necessity.
but ya the only people who believe that empire griefed tmo off the server were either
>not in tmo
>warmbody nonfactors who had no clue what was going on with the guild internally
>not in tmo long enough to know, or only in the guild right after the good guys absortion

Stopped reading... it's just your bullshit utopian view of eq pvp to try and recruit. There is a reason the server has so little population.

This is the crux of why red is so barren.

Sure, sounds great for the established, but in trying to get established, you are on the receiving end.

Why would anyone want to subject themselves to this? How is this 'fun'?

The ability to copy blue chars to Red is literally the ONLY chance Red has at ever being a healthy competitive server. Many many many guilds have tried to rise up and overthrow Nihilum/Holocaust/Empire and none of them have succeeded. It's an impossible to win uphill battle unless the guild is forcibly disbanded by GM's and leadership banned for RMT shenanigans. TMO is the most recent example. How did that pan out?

Let people copy their chars to Blue that are already 60 with gear and let's see what happens. Willing to bet that Empire's superior PvP skills won't save them.

All guilds fall under empire because of social retardation and an inability to integrate to the different play styles of red.

The experience is the only advantage empire has, strangely something <friends> has as much of... But some would say the experience of staying far the fuck away from that guild is half the battle.

I wish they could make a copy of characters so I can own all you red fuckboys. Just like I did with my noobish necromancer I made on red, but instead with a geared paladin... Because for god's sake, I don't want to level a paladin again, nor go through the trouble of dealing with the neanderthals it would take to gear him.

TRY BLUE TODAY, fuck boys.

You're not killing anyone on a paladin dog

Let blue players copy 1 character to red with everything they have. Make every item no drop so it doesnt kill the economy. Let people mess around on lvl 60s they're use to. While people are sitting in ec they can mess around on red and so on.

If people want to play red then play red. Might as well enable insta 60s if you allow copies/ transfers. You've basically ruined the servers integrity at that point. You also destroy the leveling population as there would be no reason to not level on blue then transfer over. On phone or I would write a novel Noone read

It takes 2 weeks to get 60 here . Integrity? This will boost population. Do you really think 200+ people are going to roll here brand new at this point and start new guilds? Whats the worst that could happen? A 100 people log on there main and try pvp?

Twink pvp sucks. If people want to /copy over to here at 60 to challenge empire or just dick around who cares?

You are misinformed, my shaman only got suspended for a week.
I also left friends after i realized they had no intentions of progressing
alot of lashing out for someone who raids a 16 year old elf emu 7 hours a day ( it has 100 people lol)

Funniest post I've seen in a while. Integrity? Red Server? Pls send me some of the drugs u are on. Also "no reason to not level on blue then transfer over" ...... what? You mean besides the xp bonus that lets you 1-60 in like 2 weeks? I have mixed feelings of laughter and anger at the stupidity of this post.

If anyone checks the blue main forums this is what I mean by trolling. Raid are around 2-3 hours typically. Also will reiterate if anyone needs a power level I have a 60 shaman I can power level with on weekends. Join thunder dome and don't worry about the trolling people on the boards.
