Greetings All,

Made an account a couple years ago at the request of friends and never really got into it as I travel for work and it makes it difficult sometimes. Anyways, here I am, back to try again. I've decided I want to try red out as I've always liked PVP and I always read that blue's inflation is crazy at the moment.

I'm curious as thoughts of what to play as first character on server. I would like to play a melee class, but I figure due to not having any platinum and due to my sometimes limited playtime I wonder if a Druid would be better to make some money and quickly travel as needed. Any suggestions are appreciated and encouraged.

Finally, I have just one question I can really think of at the time that I couldn't find the answer to reading anywhere else. If I get killed by another player, can they loot everything I'm wearing or just my money?

Thank you,

Play what you would prefer. This place might be toxic as hell to each other at 60, but our desperation for new players makes the server pretty n00b friendly for early gear and help.

Dont listen to anyone on these forums. Infact dont even read the forums except for trading section. Contact an officer of <Thunderdome> in game, they are very noob friendly and members are always willing to help. Plleeaassseee. Just dont read these forums, half these chumps dont even play anymore.

What do you pick on lowbies because you're scared they'll get leveled and geared up and wreck you?

Tune is guild leader of Tempest the best guild on the server and will hook you up. You need need a mic and Teamspeak 3 to talk to him.

Log in and /who all thunderdome... Ask any member for an officer.

First character druid or necro are both solid. If you decide melee, go with a monk.

Avomon, Rumblebum, Rodarin, Luaka are all TD officers. Rumblebum is gonna be your best bet tho.

Look around for Gingerr.

When you see he's on, /tell him and he will swing by to hook you up with some higher level druid buffs that really make those tedious lower levels fly by.

Good luck. See you on the battlefield!

Thanks for info guys. I made a Druid and a Paladin as those are the classes I'm most interested in playing. I feel like I'd rather play paladin, but not looking forward to no gear, no binding, and no quick form of travel for my first toon on server so I'll probably play Druid up first to help things go smoother for whomever I decide to play as my second character.

Better to know a Druid then play a Druid. I have some wizard gear if you change your mind. Play what you want and how you want. Just play.

Semmy in game. We are twink exping this weekend. Will be a fun ride up.

You cannot swing a dead cat and not hit a druid on this server.

Going to Houston for nephew's birthday this weekend or would gladly try to join in for some exp. I could maybe try a wizard. Never really crossed my mind to play one and not sure how good I would be on one, but maybe worth a shot.

my druid is probably my most useful character i've rolled, and it took me less than a week to hit 50+ (parked him at twink levels instead of going for 60) when i was brand new to red wearing leather armor and a cracked staff. it's a universally good idea for a new player to play a druid/ench/etc before rolling the class they actually want to play because of how quick EXP on red is and how useful those classes are to have at your disposal even if they're stripped and naked. all the best classes like monk and rogue are a lot more fun to level with some gear and plat to start out, and being able to port group members you find off global chat will legit save you just as much time as rolling the druid or wiz to 50+ will take in the first place.

My first toon on Red was a Druid--I recommend it. Never played a Druid back in the day, but really enjoyed it. Groups are a game changer in Red with the XP bonus... so it was nice being able to be mobile and find the hotspots (population is a little low, so you gotta travel for groupage).

Once you hit 50s you can farm plat and really have some fun with a melee. I think you made a great choice, and have fun. Red is an awesome server. Some weirdos but they add to the flavor.

my first 4 characters on red were halfling druids with the same face. I used them to snare bards kiting in NK, when red wasnt full of pussy mother fuckers.

where you the guy I killed 3times and then he logged off never to recover corpses? And to answer your question late game died with empire. I will not be playing any chars over 30 from now to the end.

Can we get the new player update? What lvl, made any friends or foes?

Playing Wood self Druid. Just level 6. I've got almost a full set of cloth looted off mobs and cracked staff. Have 75% of my spells and about 2 platinum in the bank lol.

Was busy with work all last week and then went to nephews birthday party for the weekend so didn't get to level much. Neither friends nor foes yet. Though one rogue did try killing me while I was on a corpse run and I hadn't memmed any spells yet; I ran by a guard and guard killed him. He logged off. He was a barbarian and I'm not entirely sure, but he might have spawned back in Everfrost.

Several high levels have ran by and I've hailed and asked for some buffs to no avail, but they all seemed to be on a mission so it's understandable. One lvl 23 Druid, Vuzzy, I believe, gave me SoW and Thorns and that helped really well. Hopefully get more playtime this week and keep climbing that ladder.
