What happened??

[leFuZz]

I took an 8 month break (leveling a bard currently), and the population is cut in half, at least. What happened?

I was in a pug last night in MM, gankers came, had to LNS, and then logged. Fun night on Red. :D

[leFuZz]

Is Thunderdome still strong?

Before, the community was small but very active and fun. I even loved that dwarf rogue, Cacheo I think.

Aside from the forum chicken littles, is red still a viable server? I don't want to wait for camps on blue.

[Swish]

Still viable, give it another try

Cacheo was banned for RMT. Your new friends will be Ohnoo and Aggony.

Red is very viable, griefing will always be a part of the server, but it is certainly avoidable.

That's nice that Sirken shouted to everyone to try red server. Still pulling for us. :)

Empire coined the server, all that's left are the termites and newcomers. It'll bounce back to some extent tho, always does.

Red will rise again to new glory

the euro pop has completely collapsed

i know you don't care, but many of these people would "stay on late" quite regularly

summer is inc, this server is gonna bounce right to 60 pop prime time, after the bans of resistance & burnout of zerg occur

my fungi twinks are ready at mistmoore, should anyone get the wrong idea! ;)

[derpcake]

Red will rise again to new glory

vote trump

a wall around blue will solve our issues

[borys]

other than a few hot spots on the way to leveling up, its pretty fast sailing. MM and COM will always see some pvp action, but in my experience, there wasnt griefing/fuckery, just twinked pvp. cant complain too much about it. plenty of people lfg in ooc at all level ranges from 10-50. it might completely change 50+ but on the way up its been nothing but fun.

[Nirgon]

gonna let Chuck field this one

Interesting....... are you leveling with friends? or just pickup grps...?

[bubur]

Isn't pop known for historically dropping off during the summer? most of us aren't kids looking forward to summer break namean

[Swish]

This community? Going outside for the summer?

oh boy, lol

[bubur]

Just speaking from years of experience

Pop goes down in summer, and goes back as it ends.... So no need to be alarmed op. We're goin thru the motions

[borys]

I did not join the server with friends. TD picked me up when i joined, rather, i read here i should reach out to them. I have doing guild grouping, and random pick up groups by spamming ooc and guild chat. went from 1-48 in 2 and a half weeks or so, i havent played every night. its not impossible to get 10 levels in a day.

I am assuming i dont need to state it, but i /friend everyone i can find around me level and just look for them when i log on. Honestly, havent had an issue getting into a group.

Lol no I was never banned or suspended, just no point to play anymore. Leaderboards kept going down for a while there, and hardly any new blood coming through after the big epic change and cross server transfers being outlawed.

Kathy stop posting blasphemy, it's not even funny, at least try to be funny when you do it.

Hey man, when I first started my cleric (he's 30 as well), you were kind to me. I was pretty much naked, soloing orcs in CB. You gave me some cheap gear, some plat, and dragged my corpse to zone line. I loved your shenanigans, and praised you in /OOC every time I saw the name. You were actually the first encounter I've had when I tried out red.

It's too bad you're not active anymore. You made things fun for me.

That's not Cacheo.

I did this for almost every new kid I pvp'd that wasn't already twinked, it made things more fun and brought more of a human element rather than the toxic bs most of the server entails. Can't even begin to count the number of giveaways I did or noob events like lvl 1 FFAs etc. Glad you enjoyed your time here but even I wouldn't recommend starting back here, you can see the toxicity even from the forums.

[leFuZz]

Ok. Well, if it was, the message stands. If it's not him, then I inflated some dweller's ego for a minute. I'm a noob playing red99 - I came to terms with the fact that some wierdo's will get their jollies at my expense a long time ago.

Aside from two gankers, everybody has still been nice to me. The gankers did their thing, and then respected LNS. I signed on to play a pvp server, so that's par for the course. When I think about the economy of time, I'd rather solo or avoid ganks than wait for prime leveling spots. Not all the time, but usually.

Well, if you do decide to come back, let me know. You were fun.

[Smedy]

cross server trades were outlawed, population stagnated for a while until empire got bored and quit

shit's dead

thank god they put an end to that rmt market

[Doctor Jeff]

thank god they put an end to that rmt market

Right? Suddenly there were 30-50 one sided trades going on every day. It must have made it nearly impossible to track who was RMTing and when.

[Smedy]

pretty sure empire would not have ended if cross server trades weren't closed, huge incentive to sell on the black market to blueberries, staff n pals sure put an end to that, thank you

eh, its an open secret me, my crew, and other crews like aimchat all play on servers and then cash out when we are done. I remember talking to the lower on the ladder dudes within aimchat/empire. They were totally under the impression they where going to get equipped super fast, super easily, and then be able to RMT their character for mad $$.

then i truth bombed them, your not going to get shit for ur BIS velious char. its all no drop. noone buys characters, and resellers who do buy them, they buy them cheap to strip them sell the items for plat and then sell the plat for USD. back during kunark the resellers where buying BIS kunark accnts for 500 each, strip out all the items and triple the profit since everything was droppable in kunark.

releasing velious literally made it impossible for resellers to make any money. It's why you saw TMO and BDA both disapear during velious, they where huge RMT scams using under developed adult minds to farm mortgage money.

TLDR version, unless your some kinda junky, the 200 dollars your going to get for your decked out velious toon is not worth it, just keep your character if you arnt going to play and come back and train people until you get banned or something.

[Samsung]

Rmt happens everyday on red, can only imagine the shit going down on blue. Braknars focus isn't red or a lot of players would of been banned by now. So you have losers like Xepiz selling his account and items to Decibel. Don't care that they are my guildmates, shit is wrong and I lost 25+ accounts and many friendships from it, why do these players get away with it?

cause they dont name names like a taddletail everytime they find out about some other RMT that wasn't there's. If i was a guide just to spite u i'd keep those accounts unbanned if they where RMT'd.

[EatitNerd]

Decibel been $ trading since before it was cool, dunno why yall are just now payin attention. Server is dead anyway, go ahead and allow RMT imo, maybe it would attract some more players. Can't get much worse

couldn't agree more sir weazel... i will investigate and skype sirken about it this injustice will not stand

[heartbrand]

there are few things in life you should ever own 25 of, and emulated eq accounts certainly aren't one of them

to be fair, u did ur share of platlording, maybe as much as the weazel, just better at hiding it since u buy off friends that grind ur shit.

Man i was so looking to that big Velious payday where I could sell my BIS rogue for a 2 hour pay cheque.

[Doctor Jeff]

No reason to ever sell if you enjoy playing the game, the money that you can get from it is pocket change.

$500 for my bis Kunark char? No thanks, I earn more than that in a day while playing EverQuest at work.

People that want to cash out should just do it and fuck off, the sooner you and your loot are banned, the better.

I will be here until the server shuts down and I will still have every item and platinum coin that I have ever earned.

Eh? any traditional gamer who is truely done with an MMORPG always sells off and buys a new video card for the next game. It's not about making money. It's about being done with the game, if you had something worth 500 dollars sitting on the floor you knew you'd never use again you would probably go outa your way to sell it.

You're talking to someone (dr jeff aka kathy) who has 2 worthless characters (worthless classes, paladin/druid) and they are in kunark/planar gear.. I'd maybe pay 50 for his druid if I was to ever RMT. He speaks like this because he has nothing to RMT, even though he makes like 28k a year as a gay bartender (cringe) and would love to make 500$ off elf sim

[TheBiznessTZ]

I could make tons of money off Gasoline and all the Alts... But I'll
Never sell. They can sit there collecting dust till one day when they are needed.
