I'm considering red. Rogue. Half elf or halfling. Looking to not play alone and not deal with people who think cha on an enchanter ups healing spells. I really wished I could have back stabbed that individual.
Looking for a new adventure. Friends.
How's gearing on red? I don't have much value on blue. I've found the group experience to be the same no matter if there's 1400 people or 10.

Solid points. I feel your power point presentation really swayed me.

The ability to kill people who annoy you is invaluable. However we also have more people that will annoy you, so it'll be a bloodbath.

It takes a lot to annoy me. Being a blatant moron is one. Ignorant of basic knowledge and proud of it. Citing the wiki as having been read. So on. There's a difference between trolling and honesty in being cross eyed.

rogue first class pretty tough since you won't be able to farm much and the rogue epic is impossible if you don't already have the founy piece in a bank somewhere.

I'm honestly not too concerned with gear. The epic does seem kinda boo. I loved my rogue on live and it seemed it would be fun on a pvp server. Thank you for the input.

the majority of the people that post on this forum for red do not actually play on the server
they are almost 2 separate games in a sense
best to just pick a class, join thunderdome, and lvl up and experience the scene for yourself

I find it really hard to level on red, mostly because anything past 40 is a delevel twink gank fest. So, if you like doing LFG in ooc, and then meeting up with a monk that has a fungi or something that just beats you into the ground - sure join red.

...and start on Faydwer/get there if you can sell there.
Qeynos/Toxxulia/most other places are too quiet and the group XP bonus is a nice thing to have.

You must be doing something wrong. I find it easy to level without this happening

rogue is a great pick cus thats an awesome class to just turn around and kill someone with annoying you in a group.
Gearing is hard, well you wont care about it untnil you get to 50+ and just pick up shit along the way.. even though rogue is gear dependent.
raiding is tough, but thats the fun part
and killing people is glorious do it.

Sorry bro I've been bopping around the country. Haven't had time to play p99 blue or red. I guess I'd be sad too if my house burned down? Take it easy. It'll get better.

Nothing wrong with Red, it is what it is. I played a lot about a year ago and started picking it up again recently. Still a low pop server, still mad trash talk in ooc. Finding groups is hard but can be done. Would recommend playing a class you can solo with at first unless you have dedicated pals with you. Levelling up is pretty rewarding but also frustrating. If the pop increased a little it'd be nice. Who knows, maybe people will get tired of blue and look for a challenge on red... pvp adds a whole different aspect to the game, for better and worse at times.

Server is in a good place right now, for new and old players alike. If you need rogue advice hit grannock up in game.

i always tell people who want to roll a rogue, roll a wizard on a different account first. with the exp rate and the class requiring minimal gear it takes a pretty small time investment to level one first, and then you can farm your rogue starting gear + you have ports to make groups happen on the low pop server. playing a group dependent class and trying to level sucks if you can't port. wizard is just as good of a class to turn around and pop some retard you don't like too.

you level up very fast on red, meaningful gear comes late game for any class and the process for obtaining that gear for any class is exactly the same
just roll a rogue. very fun class to play in pvp

Tough starting class. But do it, server is alright although the endgame is in a bit of limbo with empire gone / joined thunderdome, casual scum on break, friends gone and tempest just starting. But endgame frustration wont bother you for awhile.
Protip: dont ever take forums or ooc seriously, both are best ignored or enjoyed while very drunk or under whatever influence you prefer.

druid's one of the best classes under level 50 for turning on people in your own group, since you're usually the group's healer at that point. stop healing and throw a few dots at the right time and it's over for them while you gate off to safety. even post 50 there's a lot of opportunities to leave your groups stranded deep into dungeons like the hole. top tier asshole-physics class.

Salem, with 12 coordinated perps we trashed 30 zergłings in straight pvp for 3 hours. How come in 12 months of trying you and your crew of scrubs didnt accomplish that once?
Pm me, ill teach you how to be a man.

I think every time I've seen Grannock in game he's died to me.

Prolly never saw him because you farm PoM at 4am est when you're in game.

Play whatever you want to be at 60. Exp groups happen easily till 50s then guild up. If you need any starter gear pm me I'll help you out

FYI i dont even read smedys <denial>.
Smedy/salem got kicked from their own guild because in 8 months they couldnt win a single pvp engagement.
I need advice on how to waste 5 years of my life being a nonfactor on an elf sim with 200 people.

Thanks for the replies. I'm still out of state healing. Don't go home till the 6th so. I'll have some time to lay here and stew over my life choices and red. Druid does make sense but I'm hardly the type who ever does anything but the hard way.

Thankfully that is easy to tell. The forums on both blue and red are superb for bowel movements and passing time. The level of humor on them is surprisingly good. Barring the real cringeworthy actual mad posts.
Go druid to start unless one of the handouts includes substantial +MR gear. Once upon a time ago I singlehandedly grinded a guild out of existence because they were new and I could land root.

That seems like overkill.

i mean you can take grannock's advice if you want to know how to lose in pvp all the time
this is based off the fact that any time I've seen him in game I've dominated him
That seems like overkill.
It wasn't a big guild, just some smaller start up of a few friends who were new around town. It was all about the root, they could not run to zone lines. MR is big time on red

PM me if you'd like some a bone razor and some starting plat. Also if you play a cleric/Ench/shamen/bard you'll level twice as an ungeared rogue. then can twink out a rogue when the time comes. In the time it would take to get a rogue 60, youd probably have 2 valuable 60s. Reason being there are so many twink, your support class will always be able to find a killer do bonus group, while your ungeared rogue will have a harder time finding and maintaining groups.
