Hello Blue Friends,

I am from the RED server and currently leading the guild <Apex>. We are the only Red 99 guild that raids on a consistent basis and routinely clears most everything in Velious and Kunark. I know that R99 has a bad rap, and in an effort to help increase the population of R99, I’d like to bring some information to your attention because I believe that a lot of you would come over to play on R99 if you knew how the server really was. Yes, our population is struggling, but I’m hoping that some of you that play in the 3rd/4th tier guilds on Blue that are only allowed to raid the scraps of the top guilds will see the benefits of joining Red and think about making the transition. I’m certain this post will get trolled, but if you want to play EQ how it was supposed to be played, and are tired of the state of the blue’s lawyerquesting and raid rules, come give us a shot.

TLDR: R99 has no FTE races, lawyerquesting, raid suspensions, 100 person DKP queues for items.
TLDR: There are open mobs, free camps, small DKP lineups, set raid schedules, and people willing to help you get started

-XP Bonus: 50% bonus solo, 40% bonus for each group member; it does not take nearly as long to level a toon to 60, and grouping is encouraged.
-PvP Level Range: 4 Levels; you can only be attacked by characters that are +/- 4 levels of you.
-No item loot: only coin is able to be looted (use a bank)
-Lack of Population: With the current server pop around 100 during primetime the world is wide open. There are no waiting lists for camps, no click-fests for named pops, all of the dungeons are open and available. OOC is global.
-Raiding Scene: There are 2 main guilds on the server, Apex and Thunderdome. Apex has cleared everything in Velious except AOW/Tunare (due to low numbers), and Thunderdome mainly raids HOT and Kunark. Both guilds are always recruiting and welcoming to new players. There is no variance, mobs are all on static respawn timers, eg. if a mob has a 7 day respawn timer, it will respawn in 7 days. There is no FTE or lawyerquesting, in fact raid mobs routinely stay up after they’ve spawned. In Apex with raid numbers being so low (avg 30-40) it doesn't take long at all to fully deck out a toon in full HOT/TOV gear. We have multiple characters with 4+ Dozekar / Vulak loots because we raid with such low numbers. We have had recruits come over from blue and receive full TOV gear and an ST Key within 1-2 months of raiding with us. We have set raid times! We raid 4 nights per week, between 8 PM EST – 12 AM EST.
-Being able to play 2 Servers at once: If you’re skeptical about rolling on R99, you can give it a try while you’re afking in the EC Tunnel. It’s completely legal to do and would provide you with a quick glimpse into the R99 server. You can level up a toon while you’re waiting to FTE a raid mob, or waiting for your guild’s batphone, or tracking
-People: Overall the server has relatively good people who are willing to help out new players with gear, buffs, ports, etc. Of course there are a few toxic players (every MMO has them), but for the most part the people that play on R99 are all good dudes.
-PvP: Rarely happens. it is not a constant chaos. Most of the griefers are gone. There are guilds and there is order. Yes, EQ was never designed or balanced for PvP and PvE was always the main focus of the game, but EQ PvP is a lot of fun, and really, the only chance you’re going to get at using all of your shiny pixels that you spent hours raiding to obtain. Raiding is fun, but there is something to be said about a 30 minute 15v15 PvP fight that spans multiple zones and characters.

I feel bad for the majority of red players on the red server.* I wish something could be done to improve the situation there. There just isnt much reason to go play there unless you want a single player experience camping your own gear and leveling quickly.

^ why?

Everything Tune posted is spot-on. We have alts on alts that are better geared than top Blue players. Yes, it would be nice to have a higher pop on red, but it's still fun as it is, especially raiding. It's especially more challenging, fun, and gratifying raiding with 40 players as opposed to 100+.

If you want a set raid schedule, quicker access to pixels, and the ability to play EQ, make gains, and not lawyer quest and FTE yourself to death, come on over.

Maybe it would be a good idea to allow a transfer from Red to Blue after 1 year on being on Red with all no drop gear to encourage people to try red? I tried Red but there was literally no one anywhere (I'm aussie).

Its a social game and the population is really low. A new blue player can join one of several leveling guilds which all have a higher pop than the whole red server. Also the four year head start is much more difficult to overcome on a pvp server because people can wreck you, not just mobs. I think when they banned the red to blue to red plat transfers it really killed red. Blue players cant buy their way into decent gear.

That's the nature of player vs player gaming in this type of setting. The wolves eat the sheep and keep on eating until there aren't any sheep left. Then they turn on each other until most of the wolves are gone, too, leaving the survivors standing around wondering where everyone else went. Small solace is taken in victory when the victors find themselves in control of a barren wasteland with nobody left to rule.

Quite a few of the folks I know who went to Red (and I know a lot from the early days) accepted that as the likely eventual outcome right from day 1 and enjoyed the ride. Some hold out hope for a server reset so the winners can bask in winning "round 1 of Red" while everyone else can get back into it for round 2.

Right, but there are people/guilds willing to help with starter gear, leveling, etc. We have had players transfer from blue earn full TOV gear/ST key/epic in less than 2 months of playing. How long would that take you to obtain on blue - 2 years?

A social game? Red is probably the most social form of EQ possible when you get yourself situated.

You constantly want to be talking to other people and making pals. Your friends are your biggest protection you have in PvP.

How many times you log into blue and theres just people soloing anything and everything? Half the people are afk in your group the entire time or fungi twinks soloing camps all by themselves.

Blue might have the population, but just because there is numbers doesn't mean its a more social experience.

If you're tired of the ridiculous pixel race on blue and looking for something to hold your attention longer, I highly recommend trying red. There are lots of us in Apex that would be more than happy to help level you with our PL capable high level alts or level up with you on alts we are still leveling. If you're going to stick with it and not just disappear after a little bit, we'd be happy to toss you some gear we've outgrown as well. I have a 60 cleric and 60 druid that I'd be happy to help buff/PL with if I'm around. I have a 54 enchanter and 54 necro I'd love to xp with you when you're in the 50s.

It is super easy to gear up when you start raiding with us as well - prime loot frequently goes to our alts because no mains need/want it. So you're not going to have a lot of competition gearing up early on. We're DKP based so you get what you put in - if you are someone who loves raiding and shows up to the majority of our raids, you'll accumulate dkp easily enough. Currently I'm only spending on my alts and I pretty much break even every week. I joined this guild pretty much in rags as a cleric - bronze armour, no epic - now I'm one of the best geared main clerics that still plays.

I have a 54 epic cleric on blue that sucks when compared to my red cleric. I left that character along with a 49 druid and 45ish necro on blue almost 2 years ago and haven't looked back. At the time I was in BDA when there was no lawyer questing and only BDA and TMO were raiding - it wasn't even close to the ridiculous raid scene blue has now.

It's a fun experience and for the most part everyone in the guild is chill and easy to get along with. The last thing anyone wants when trying to have fun playing a game is a bunch of annoying drama.

You just need to learn to ignore the trolls. Most of the toxic people that post on the forums here don't even play the game and haven't in ages. Ignore the bitterness and vitriol they spew on the forums and in this thread. Ignore the ones that actually play when you're playing, because they pretty much just play to grief. You have a couple choices when they try to make you log off with their deleveled ubergeared twink - call in your friends who can chase them off, or just go somewhere else that they aren't.

My friends and I that played here leveled up with the worst gear - just stuff you got from mobs - tattered leather, cloth, bronze etc. Of course these guys that had nothing better to do than ruin your night found us easy pickings. At the time I didn't really know anyone on the server to call in, so we'd just leave and go to another zone and be left alone. Just don't feed into their crap and ignore their ridiculous OOC trolling. They get bored when they don't get attention ;)

If you're thinking of trying red and would like some buffs or other help feel free to send me a message here. I hope to see a bunch of you join us soon =)

^ This

I came back a few months ago after a break and joined Apex in crap Kunark gear on my necro. Put in time and work with the guild, slayed dragons and pvped with my bros, and now my Paladin (yes, Paladin) has 3 primal weapons, ToV gear and just recently Gauntlets of Dragon Slaying, only two months after her conception!

Just cut the noise from the very few toxic players in /ooc and ForumQuesters and you'll find that Red can be a pretty fun server to play on with plenty of friendly people who will help get you started.

I play EQ for the social aspect and comradery. If i played on Red id see like maybe 200 people online at prime time? Maybe?

Of these 200 ive no doubt some will be twinks, some will be afk, some will be farming something somewhere. Wheres the social aspect? Other than increased xp(lets be honest 1-60 is just the beginning) what benefit does red offer? I know the whole no queues etc, but ive heard more bad things about red than blue, why waste my time?

You don't afk on red, you're better off camping to character select til you get back (unless you have a good pet and want to risk it).

Plenty of social stuff goes on, can't speak for Apex but Thunderdome is a good set of people... no different to anyone who plays on blue.

Grouping with twinks is great, there's NO SHAME IN BRONZE ARMOR ON RED... whereas its rare to see anyone leveling in a set of bronze these days on blue.

So, basically...pvp is horrible in eq...and it rarely happens due to low pop...but let's play on a pvp server?

First of all, Everquest is and always will be a PVE game. Playing on the pvp server simply adds a dynamic to this game that most of us who play there enjoy. PVE in the context of PVP makes Everquest more complex and has the potential to amplify the social aspects that we all enjoy. Your friends will be sweeter and enemies more bitter.

PVP in EQ is not always horrible. It can be very fun, especially in well coordinated/matched mass pvp. It has the potential to get your heart racing like nothing else in this game can.

Most of the people who have played on red and don't anymore complain about population issues and the same reason they dont play ends up worsening the problem. A smaller part of the problem is people getting griefed off the server because they don't know how to survive and build up. Survival on red requires a different type of vigilance that isnt needed at all on blue. Making friends and sticking with them is essential. We currently have more than one active guild going. There's a fresh newbie guild picking up (Disposable Heroes). There are plenty of options beyond Apex. And believe it or not we are NOT uncontested.

This is actually a pretty accurate thread. I honestly prefer red to blue simply due to the population... It's really nice to get a group going and have free range of a zone vs. being in a queue for a group that's miles long. You do deal with the occasional ganks and douchers, but in reality you get to experience a side of the game that you simply don't get in an over crowded server.

Highly recommend making the switch to Red. May be more social than blue simply because you'll see the same folks more often than not.

Red will always suck at this point and the lure of free loot is actually the root of the problem. On blue, when you have all that cool loot you can park your Tesla in the EC tunnel and get the ooo's and ahhh's and you get that feeling of cool accomplishment that so many of us chase in our day to day lives with the cars we drive, clothes we wear, etc. On red everyone is driving the same luxury car as you, lives in a 7 BR house and has the same designer clothes as you. Any feeling of accomplishment is fleeting as you have no one to show off your cool pixels to.

Since you don't actually need any of this loot to kill mobs, and there are almost no other players who aren't guilded with you to use them on in PvP, you burn out quickly and quit after experiencing a couple months of uncontested raiding. It's the same pattern in most MMO's nowadays with the difference being they have new content to bring people back every several months. Only someone with severe mental illness will raid the exact same mobs uncontested for years on end.

Don't feel bad for them, man. They griefed all the new players off their own server....back in 2014/2015 with their deleveled epic rogues, rangers and warriors, and more recently with (after level requirements were put on epics) their deleveled TOV-geared toons.

Yes, it would be nice to have a higher pop on red, but it's still fun as it is, especially raiding. It's especially more challenging, fun, and gratifying raiding with 40 players as opposed to 100+.

Yes, friend. I'm sure it would be tons of fun grinding my way through the levels, fending off deleveled NTOV twinks in my leather and rags, to finally reach level 56 and fight against players with full 100hp/15sv all items in every slot.

It not really like that metal and leveling is super quick with xp bonus. 56+ can be more challenging though because chances are you still have leather and rags because you leveled so quickly, but are niwmin range to fully geared 60s. One solution is to farm a bit andmgesr up at 55. Another is to raid and gear up at 55, before finishing your levels ^^

The only people that are in full 100hp/15sv all items are the ones that want the server to grow. Levels 1-50 can be done in a weeks time and most of the people that are twinked are the ones wanting the server to grow.

Another strategy is to go xp in places that are out of the way. Nobody is going to check big open zones for pvp/griefing. They are going to check crushbone, mm, solb, com. The xp bonuses are nice in those zones but the xp flies so fast on red anyway that it wont matter.

Agreed, these people are usually the type to provide evidence if they have it, but it didn't happen. Why would Apex be in Unrest anyway? Makes no sense, if you encountered a rare fungi twink they're usually either unguilded or part of some obscure guild that somehow didn't get hit on the Sirken guild purge ages back.

I'm glad the guy got time to inspect them to make sure they were "BIS" characters too :rolleyes:

Last recorded YT in Unrest was on Dec 29 and the killer was Braknar so obviously fiction.


On topic though, nobody wants to play Red99 for one simple reason - the people who inhabit it are, mostly, shit personalities who noone in their right mind would like to hang with.

Drug dealers and addicts, prison regulars, cheaters, RMTers, half-illiterate forum trolls, that's 90% of the server right there. Who the fuck would like to play with these losers?

Let them rot in their own filth, nobody gives a shit.

This may be a minor gripe, but I don't like how OOC is global on Red. I would rather it be zone based like it is on Blue. I know that this would mean that you hardly run into people to talk to, but I feel as if having OOC global makes the world feel a lot smaller - like we're all just playing on one giant arena.

Of course, one can always ignore that channel. But...

How about OOC being continent based?

Red just needs some love. Once the last patch rolls out people will be looking for something similar yet different to do... the population crept up at the end of the Kunark patches when everyone was moaning and groaning about how long it was taking for Velious to release.

Market analysts predict the same trend here. Be ahead of the curve and make a character today, or at least get your name reserved :)

The minority shouldn't be allowed a voice? If red players could vote for anything it would either be a wipe and a return to vanilla EQ (max level 50 etc) or something new (teams/discord/something).

EQ pvp isn't dead, just less popular...as was the case on the live servers. That's why there werent 20 pvp servers.

Also 2 blue servers would be splitting the population. Not sure how even that would be after the initial hype, or how much of a positive advert that is for new players. The old blue server would die by proxy which would hurt the casual players the most.

Think these things through.

Splitting 1500 players would far from cripple anything except for the new server, which honestly would allow all the hard cores to re-win everything and also enjoy their classic timeline & camping of legacy items and much more.

@ Swish = I haven't played in quite some time so wiping both servers would have zero impact on me. Scrub them both for all I care and make one teams & other PVE both with proper timeline but as stated many times - there'd probably be too many melt downs/suicides when their pixels are gone.

Don't feel bad for them, man. They griefed all the new players off their own server....back in 2014/2015 with their deleveled epic rogues, rangers and warriors, and more recently with (after level requirements were put on epics) their deleveled TOV-geared toons.

That's not an exaggeration, the only thing I would add is it went on in 2016 as well. One of these people can and will shut down a dungeon for as long as they feel like. Then they come here trying to get people to join the server.

There's a difference between Player vs Player and Godmode vs Gnat.

The issue with Red99 isn't ganks or pvp. It's the fact the world is incredibly empty and it feels like you're playing a Single Player MMO. Yes, you will kill bosses [some of them at least since the top guild can't kill Vulak / Vyemm / AoW etc., atm, hence this thread], and yes you will get loot. Ultimately, however, it all feels hallow as you're guilded with 95% of the players on a two digit pop server. People come by to check it out occasionally, but it's a revolving door. I do recommend Red99 to people though who are solely interest in getting a quick Velious Raid fix to re-experience raids, which is about all that Red99 is good for at the moment.

A social game? Red is probably the most social form of EQ possible when you get yourself situated.

You constantly want to be talking to other people and making pals. Your friends are your biggest protection you have in PvP.


I agree, Red99 is the most social of any servers I have ever played EQ on.
People are a lot more likely to group due to XP bonus and a chance of PVP brings groups/guilds closer together.

Whirled
01-10-2017, 03:15 PM
EZ server has 4 times the population and does the same thing with no ganks from the those who get off on Schadenfreude. One could advertise Red99 to the whole world in sky writing but no one with any sense would log in and/or would leave shortly after; due to what it is. Countless threads here proving it countless times.

Red should have a temporary moratorium for PvP to get new players to roll on the server. Turn off PvP for a week or two but leave the XP bonuses in place. Either that or simply permanently disable PvP entirely until level 30. The latter might honestly be better. There's basically zero competitive sub-30 PvP on Red at this point anyway (meaning PvP between relatively equally geared players). Disable low level PvP and you'd at least encourage a steady flow of new players to give Red a try. Even better, you might encourage a guild or two to move over en masse, which is really what the server needs (and it continues to perplex me that no Blue guild has attempted it since TMO given the abysmal state of raiding on Blue). A solid, dedicated core group of 8-10 people could make huge gains on Red relatively quickly even without help from existing Red players.

Red will always suck at this point and the lure of free loot is actually the root of the problem. On blue, when you have all that cool loot you can park your Tesla in the EC tunnel and get the ooo's and ahhh's and you get that feeling of cool accomplishment that so many of us chase in our day to day lives with the cars we drive, clothes we wear, etc. On red everyone is driving the same luxury car as you, lives in a 7 BR house and has the same designer clothes as you. Any feeling of accomplishment is fleeting as you have no one to show off your cool pixels to.

Since you don't actually need any of this loot to kill mobs, and there are almost no other players who aren't guilded with you to use them on in PvP, you burn out quickly and quit after experiencing a couple months of uncontested raiding. It's the same pattern in most MMO's nowadays with the difference being they have new content to bring people back every several months. Only someone with severe mental illness will raid the exact same mobs uncontested for years on end.

mostly inaccurate. the death rate for all spawns on the blue server will always outnumber that on red. you dont say the population is lower? but this isnt Empire anymore, the leadership decided they wouldnt tolerate people lacking social skills and the ability to play respecfully in order siphon pixels for themselves. And the bottom line isnt your pixel or luxury car because well know that won't buy you happiness and enjoyment, its the journey and struggles you undertake and overcome. That's better on red and you know it.

I played on red when i was camping my VP key, got two toons to about 30.

One memory that sticks with me was when a group and myself were in Kuns. All of us wrre fresh out the box with no twinkage and all of a sudden two twinks appeared and tried for some easy text. We managed to fend them off, even killed one. However when twink #2 was repelled a second time it was joyous. Our group continued, xp was had. Until twink #2 came back on his level 60 and proceeded to kill everything in kurns. Then it sucked, it sucked a lot.

Another memory is a guy i ran into with damn near kunark bis on his warrior leveling at graveyard in mm. He told me the best way to get plat, and this is what he did: for three years he had been killing level 15 mobs in the swamp of no hope for gems. 3 years!!!

I refuse to stay level 15 for 3 years or contend with twinks/assholes for virtually the same experience i hav on blue99. At least the twinks on blue dont try to smash my group's cleric into 50000 fucking pieces

There was fun had in group settings and its always like thunder waiting to crack when we saw another pvpable geoup, but inevtably i ran into too many griefers for me to enjoyably play the server

If you can clear 30-35 the fungi twinks disappear from your pvp level range. Not that there's many/any that still log in anymore.

Most recently my bard leveled through MM, don't think he saw any fungi twinks turn up, honestly.

1) No clue how any of that addressed my points

2) What journey and struggles? You auto attack mobs pulled to the entrance of zones. This isn't difficult FF14 or Mythic WoW raids where you're practicing over dozens of wipes to get a boss down culminating in that great sense of accomplishment that you finally mastered it.

3) Social skills? An officer of Apex got fired for robbing the store he worked at and bragged about framing a co-worker to take the fall legally.

This is the only way I'll play EQ PvP, I want people I KNOW are on my side, I want war between the factions (although that would get bad quickly with entire cities on lockdown). I played a LITTLE on Red in 1999, I hated it, EQ controls like ass when you're in panic mode, first attack = win. I also played the Team server and you had land battles on EC between the humans and dark elves fighting for control of land...it was insanely fun, I'd love to see how that develops, even it would need a bit more babysitting and possibly custom rules to stop things like Freeport being completely taken over for weeks at a time...a day, thats cool, a week? Thats grief, but it would be crazy dynamic.

Make THAT and I'll play Red, otherwise I see no point in starting over to solo.

I feel bad for the majority of blue players on the blue server.* I wish something could be done to improve the situation there. There just isn't much reason to go play there unless you want..
to deal with waiting in line for everything you'll ever want ever. Having no chance at top tier items despite working hard for months, and having to rely on your guild winning FTE for a chance at a loot table. Taking items that aren't exactly what you would want because it could be months before you get another shot at the same dragon twice. What a waste of time it is to play on Blue.


Jboots (camped 24/7 on Blue)
Stormfeather (camped 24/7 on Blue)
Pegasus Cloak (camped 24/7 on Blue)
Scout Charisa (camped 24/7 on Blue)
Every Dragon (camped 24/7 on Blue)
Every Faction Leader (camped 24/7 on Blue)
Any Specific Timer Based Mob (good fucking luck 24/7 on Blue)


Raid for years and years on Blue, and still be worse geared than the players on Red. Who when they get bored are killing each other for fun with the spoils of PvE. The closest thing to this you'll find on Blue are the footraces to each dragon to determine which guild gets to kill it. Not to mention the amount of time you can spend staring at the space where a dragon could be along side other players who are attempting to do this longer than you can. I realized this early on, but the Red server is perfect for anyone who wants to have a geared character in Everquest while still maintaining a job or a social life.

Play on a Blue with over 1,000 people preventing you from getting what you want. I won't do it, this game is just too old to care that much. We all know the content and have done most of it before. I have no interest in mastering the nuances of dealing with players who think I've stolen their camp, threaten GM intervention, and who apparently never go to bed.

after years and years of reading these shit play red posts I think there is actually less people on there than ever.

I login once or twice a day to red, only to find /w all count around 14-20. occasionally you will see 60 if apex is attempting a raid. The primary reason Tune is trying to recruit on red and get more players is the guild is basically dead. The rest of the server has combined to stop them from doing 80% of the available content, they tried to lash out and take old dragons like sev/fay and PD etc to cut off the other guild to no avail(they have lost PD every time)

It is true they all have alts geared with ToV loot, some with primal too. But you won't ever have that gear, You will be talked into boxing a cleric they already own while playing a rogue or something they need on raids. They have a bunch of geared toons they give out access to for members to risk boxing so they can get pixels. As of the last 3-4 months they have been starved out of top end vulak pixels, cannot kill AoW let alone tunare(not even klandi or zlandi!!). They are desperate to get anyone they can to come cuck for them for a bunch of loot they would be letting rot or put on alt #10 any way.

Red is simple, if you aren't 60 and already decked you either hide and login only for raids in apex, sit around for hours while your pulls get screwed up and your clerics die to PVP before raid is called and you realize your just getting dkp to spend on kunark/classic mobs. If you are even lucky enough to get any help doing scout, factioning, farming quest armor or whatever with no strings attached other then guildies helping out you are super lucky.

You will never be inner circle <Apex> so you will always be looked down upon, and loot will go to core alts before you because there is such high paranoia on red mainly in Apex officer/leadership that they have kicked multiple people this month simply because they were thought to be spying. (who needs to spy on a dead server when basically everyone has a friend in each guild and knows whats going on?)

Cold hard facts starting on red, even with apex help:

You will have no one to play with until 8pm EST raid time, so if you arent 46+ or probably 58+ they might not even let you raid)

There is no one to talk to in game, every camp is empty. Feel free to solo PoM or your entire VP key 24/7 while being killed by your own guild mates on untagged alts.

Could go on and on, red is dead. Do not join the red server, you will not find what you are looking for, not even quick easy pixels as promised by OP.

I jokingly did a /me does not have a <manna robe link> on him within minutes as we gathered to slay the mystical dragon that harasses the othmirs of cobalt scar.

He was already in full mental break down/anti spy mode at this time, and had never lead a serious raid guild. So he totally over looked the fact I did multiple Manna Robe links in emote, say, group and shout. I gave it to a warrior at the raid to pass to him when they ran off to do scout. TLDR: gave manna robe to another guildmate, not sure if it ever made it to the guild bank. but they blackhole stuff all the time worth more then 10-15k plat.

Truth about what happened: I was fully geared from the previous guild who woke reds sleeper and had my primal and most of the loot I needed minus 2-3 pieces. One piece, vulak dagger that it took 8 months from the date of removal for the guild to get, that quoted poster has(he wanted me out of the way for competition he had primal but shitty gear so I would've had 10x the DKP he did by time the good loots dropped and he would have taken aback seat for a while) Lots of the officers, and majority of the guild that made up the full time players didn't like me. As such they were the former resistance, they farmed lodizal and VP for months after I left their guild on bad terms to join the glorious <Empire> and get showered in pixels.

Upon gaining loots such as primal, kromzek crown, dain belt and numerous other items. It only made their hatred grow more and more. So finally when we were all guilded back together again, obviously its a small server and toxic people stay toxic. I was the top dps rogue in the guild, and usually did DPS equal to 4-5 of their rogues. So I got a solo kill on a golem in Fear while an --OFFICER-- gave me his AoN to click before hand.

After linking the crappy loot the golem dropped, one hater screamed out in teamspeak "HES A SKELETON LOOK AT HIM, AON DROPPED HES FUCKING TRYING TO NINJA LOOT IT" to which officers said "ok guys calm down, we will petition a GM and check what loot dropped now kill him". I managed to pull my epic at 1% and avoid the embarrassment of YT. Only to be sent a tell after they realized again, I did majority of the dps and was still holding numerous droppable loots they wanted back including the officers AoN(yes an officer of the guild and one other basically set this all up for kicks) but guild was so high strung over loot at the time even after my removal, they lost 3-4 more prime raiders over AoNs before declaring it a DKP item not officer awarded

Mind you this guilds policy was Tabula Rasa, everything done in the past was forgotten(i knew a week into joining it wasn't because of the grudges people still harbored but this is how red is mind you) So basically over some 10k plat item and an AoN freakout they did the best thing by guild removing me. As I joined another guild that raided casually, hung out and did stuff together whenever we wanted with no schedules. After about 5 months of never seeing <Apex> outside of ToV and together in 60 man raids. Once they had full gear + primals, they finally started showing their faces to try and pvp on these decked out toons(OP 60 SK, dozekar/vulak loot(s) and more, still terrible cant kill anyone). Quoted poster, vulak dagger near bis velious still gets dunked by a kunark geared mithril rogue makes excuses.

Spend 7-8 months of raiding dkp to get 3 pieces of loot(I was 100% RA in every raid guild ive been in since I have no life), I was gladly ready to re-raid velious and help teach this content after beating it all in my previous guild. Super happy I was forced to leave and then sit and watch as they struggled over the easiest of raids. 7 months down the line I would have had to wait for vulak loot. Mind you, with 33 people and most of their dps with primal they still wiped in VP to PD, SW, even druushk somehow.

So my epic tale of red, Yeah its dead except to the existing players with 60s. Don't come and join apex. If you are even thinking or wanting to try to play red, Go look up Thunderdome. You will enjoy the server more, not be voice tested + IP checked numerous times to see if anyone recognizes your voice or IP as a spy as in Apex. VPNs = auto kick. Who knows they may even require you to submit a photo ID and proof of address with some utility bills now to prevent spies.

I should add, Tune originally made a post about a blue xfer named Hekktor. Who he dubbed "best blue transfer ever, 1-60 in a week bla bla bla) dude got his sleepers key, decked out. Now tune 'owns' the account, Hekktor was fake to begin with. Never existed. Tunes 100% RA rogue "Hekktor" was Tune boxing as a new app to get more loot and propaganda. He also 'inherited' many other accounts, including Ferel(60 cleric he told the guild NEEDED to be BIS velious geared to help heal the guild, getting gear dkp free while spending dkp on his SK to PVP, something a few of the officers caught on and did to get double item loots one free one paid) PS he charge backed Ferel for $750 afterwards.

tldr x2: RED IS DEAD, CHECK THE NUMBERS, LOGIN READ OOC IF MUST. RUN OVER TO STORMFEATHER AND FIND HIM UP 75% OF THE TIME.

i enjoy red a lot, but only BECAUSE the pop is so low. i have a group of IRL friends and we can log into red and group together and get great exp. the low pop means we can actually dungeon crawl and go after specific drops.

no tunnelquest, no having to farm plat to buy stuff because all of the good camps/drops are on 24/7 lockdown, no sitting in the same spot for hours because every half-decent zone is packed. playing it this way, with a small group of friends and entire zones to ourselves, feels a lot more like how EQ was meant to be played when it was first designed (before it blew up and server populations were crazy).

so, please, don't play red. stay away from it! #keepredpoplow

Imagine this nerds.

Red Server 400+ population.

Now imagine you get ported somewhere.

How much of your day would be spent on corpse runs to druid rings or wizard spires because there are groups of players everywhere actively seeking pvp.

You don't want Red with even half of what Blue currently has.

I normally don't play MMO's for the express purpose of the social interactions. I want raiding and I want gear. (to then murder people with) Realizing your childhood dreams of having a geared character and seeing exactly whats that's capable of in about a year instead of 4-5 years of my life - seems like a much better deal. (so play on Red)

I play Red for the Classic Everquest experience, because I'm from Vallon Zek, back when everyone would tell you Blue is filled with noobs and idiots who can't handle pvp. To me personally FTE and footraces is about as far away from Red (classic) as it gets, and not being able to fight over camps - forget it waste your whole day sitting there in line.

And you're still upset, trolling raids over 400k items, nobody has time for that. You may have got the short end of the stick, but you were being retarded about the whole situation and not coming clean or being honest about it in a timely manner. If I was an officer I wouldn't have time for childish behavior either. As I joined another guild that raided casually, hung out and did stuff together whenever we wanted with no schedules.

Spend 7-8 months of raiding dkp to get 3 pieces of loot(I was 100% RA in every raid guild ive been in since I have no life), I suppose I've been in Apex for a year now? Taking on average one best in slot item every 3 weeks, not sure how you only ended up with 3 items - guess your last guild decked you out and you were due for a main switch, but were holding out for a Vulak Dagger that's your own fault. The average member gearing up takes way more than 3 items in 8 months that's insane. I was gladly ready to re-raid velious and help teach this content after beating it all in my previous guild. Super happy I was forced to leave and then sit and watch as they struggled over the easiest of raids. 7 months down the line I would have had to wait for vulak loot.

Who knows they may even require you to submit a photo ID and proof of address with some utility bills now to prevent spies. Your guild actually has spies, you promote that. So we're a little careful - sorry!

I should add, Tune originally made a post about a blue xfer named Hekktor. Hekktor took a break, gave his account information to the guildleader, and just recently came back. He took out 4 Thunderdome yesterday and was rewarded for his efforts in Sleeper's Tomb with a Primal Velium Warsword. Once in awhile someone else would log him in, however the player currently slaying your guildmates is the original owner. Send someone over to our lobby that isn't banned in our Teamspeak and you can see him in channel and talking. Who he dubbed "best blue transfer ever, 1-60 in a week bla bla bla) dude got his sleepers key, decked out. Now tune 'owns' the account, Hekktor was fake to begin with. Never existed.

tldr x2: RED IS DEAD, You're afraid people might join Apex and give your guild a hard time. I get why you would counter red recruitment. CHECK THE NUMBERS, LOGIN READ OOC IF MUST. OOC is hilarious, and low numbers are good if you're trying to complete quests without being harassed. I'll take another 150-200 people on Red, but I wouldn't want even 400 or 500 people. RUN OVER TO STORMFEATHER AND FIND HIM UP 75% OF THE TIME this is still camped all the time, you're insane..

as much as i have always been at odds with syztem it is an accurate representation of the server. I have seen it so many times, loot starved blue converts come to red, and since pixels are 50x more rare on blue. they are incredibly thankful for 1 piece of loot and its easy to hide the fact that there is way more than that owed to them when they where playing on blue and managing one piece of uber loot every 3 months if they where lucky.

Apex is on its last legs, if you are lucky the guild will last long enough for you to finally get to 60 and play a cleric during that time and collect a ton of DKP only to have the guild disapear. more likely though since i actually play in <Apex> the guild will be dead in the next few weeks. We have been having to cancel raids due to no shows and GM's banning out guilds cleric boxes. ever since, everyone holding the guild together with glue(cleric/buffers/mages boxes) are to afraid to box, grinding our guild to a hault.

it's a real shame i wish they didnt come and ban our guild leaders cleric box it set a real bad precedent and now the rest of the rank and file wont box there clerics or buffers. we are dead in the water.

Tune currently has 18 level 60 accounts banned for hacking and RMT. He is the guild leader of Apex. Out of game he's a weight lifting enthusiast and white supremacist who is currently bonded out of county jail for felony aggravated sexual assault of a Shetland pony, two counts of wire fraud, and solicitation of farm animals.


He's mentally ill, possibly dangerous, and definitely has a box hidden in his garage that's filled with home-crafted flails and maces.


Joining his guild, in all likelihood, will get your name added to multiple NSA watch lists.

(Vulak/Doze loot is all i need/want) That being said I can only join Apex because its the only guild on red that still raids. What i offer when i join your guild is exciting leadership experiences such as: help with fights you guys haven't been able to get over the hump with consistently, winning pvp against Thunderdome, and dungeon crawls. That being said said I have 3 geared ST chars one is a COTH mage bound in an ST safe spot. Not only do I have 3 ST geared chars, I also have one lvl 60 of each class with epic, many multiples.

Either/Or Fallacy (also called "the Black-and-White Fallacy," "Excluded Middle," "False Dilemma," or "False Dichotomy"): This fallacy occurs when a writer builds an argument upon the assumption that there are only two choices or possible outcomes when actually there are several. Outcomes are seldom so simple. This fallacy most frequently appears in connection to sweeping generalizations: “Either we must ban X or the American way of life will collapse.” "We go to war with Canada, or else Canada will eventually grow in population and overwhelm the United States." "Either you drink Burpsy Cola, or you will have no friends and no social life." Either you must avoid either/or fallacies, or everyone will think you are foolish.

Not really. I had a really horrible time getting to level 60 on my bard Gidro. Nobody helped me, in fact people would send me tells saying they would help me then they would log on their in range twinked chars and just kill me. Besides that, there is no one ever to group with so unless you are coming over with a boat load of plat to solo with forget it. Needless to say I toughed it out and finally MADE IT to 60.

I was psyched to raid with <Apex> and finally get some sweet pixels. When I get there it would just be continual wipes to Vyemm/Vulak which would result in 5 to 6 hour raid nights to get loot for the top 3 or 4 highest DKP members who had already been farming DKP for the past 8 months. It got to be pretty absurd, it was also just getting worse. Tune started to really go all out on this "spy quest" and I even started to be accused of spying. I had been in the guild for 2 months at this point. After days of Tune continuously pulling me into my own TS channel, muting/deafening me, insulting me, questioning me, I said enough was enough.

I quit <Apex> and posted about it on the forums here http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=261772. You can see how my own guildmates treated me...very disgusting behavior

Excellent post by Tune! Disposable heroes is a neutral levelling platform for all players, whether they decide to join thunderdome, Apex or even epidemic!!

A shout out to anyone that plays oceanic Timezone that wants to give red a shot! Shoot me a pm with your character name and I'll try to get you with other likeminded players and organise some groups!

I joined maybe 3 years ago, it took me a while to find my way during my first pvp experience, but I was fortunately enough to join Hokuten.

These guys were the resistance, they weren't about pixels as much as about disrupting the evil guild that ruled the server. Whoever that was, I wasn't bothered, but as a motivation it still worked.

A great deal of raids and nearly as many "guild banked items" later, the guild disbanded, its core members leaving for Azrael, and that was it.

The people I had formed somewhat of a bond with were suddenly harder to reach, and most of them flat out quit.

The best time / reward spent I had during raids on r99 was during empire. I actually felt I got awarded well for my time.

Problem most guilds have is they are ruled by cliques, hogging the best and as most of the loot as possible, and these people wonder why new members don't remain active.

It doesn't matter if you have 12.000.000³ DKP, if you gained it at the cost of being able to kill Vulak / AoW, your gear will remain sub-optimal. People also don't want to join your guild while making 23 dkp / hour while you are competing.

In short, fuck you (fraudulent) elitists. I know your position perfectly well, Tune and co, because I was an elitist on live for years.

In the end you've been anti-social in a small community, and now you regret your shitty behavior, but only because it prevents you from getting pixels.

Imagine this nerds.

Red Server 400+ population.

Now imagine you get ported somewhere.

How much of your day would be spent on corpse runs to druid rings or wizard spires because there are groups of players everywhere actively seeking pvp.

You don't want Red with even half of what Blue currently has.

I normally don't play MMO's for the express purpose of the social interactions. I want raiding and I want gear. (to then murder people with) Realizing your childhood dreams of having a geared character and seeing exactly whats that's capable of in about a year instead of 4-5 years of my life - seems like a much better deal. (so play on Red)

I play Red for the Classic Everquest experience, because I'm from Vallon Zek, back when everyone would tell you Blue is filled with noobs and idiots who can't handle pvp. To me personally FTE and footraces is about as far away from Red (classic) as it gets, and not being able to fight over camps - forget it waste your whole day sitting there in line.

Incorrect you play red for free items on a high experience rate server

You like nothing about pvp and actively avoid it unless its in upwards of 2-3 groups

Red would be great with 400 people and amazing with blues population because that's what actual red players play the game for pvp not to progress or gain items but to engage slay and die to other players

The active raiders on red couldnt hack how competitive and how much of a timesink blue actually is on the high end you know the server you're supposed to play if you want raid content and character progression

What difficulty on blue? Most people play it semi-afk while doing other things and are constantly dragged through exp zones while solo camps are perma camped by people who can barely speak English.

Red is more challenging but also more rewarding. You afk and leach exp for 20+ minutes with people you don't know, expect to eventually get booted and pked for your bad etiquette.

How does that relate in any way to the statement i made?

The Red server is for pvp hence the name red99 pvp not pve

Blue is challenging at the high end because of the sheer time commitment tracking recharging variances the fact that you could have a mob taken from you because your pullers wernt quick enough to respond

on red pve content is guaranteed if you choose to play in a raid guild because you're the only players that care enough to actively pursue the content on a server designed for players to fight eachother

This guy speaks the truth, gear distribution is at its peak in terms of fairness on P99; veterans and recruits are both indulging in their fair share of gear! The offer still stands for oceanic timezone and weekend groups! Hit me up with a PM and I will try to organise something.

I griefed this player off of red99. He also got griefed off the server the first time when he was not awarded an imaginary pixel.

How does that relate in any way to the statement i made?

The Red server is for pvp hence the name red99 pvp not pve
This is opinion, and also wrong. You've never played on a PvP server for any meaningful amount of time to know how things work, it's obvious. Everyone in Everquest benefits drastically from better gear when it comes to winning PvP encounters. Players contest PvE through PvP. That's how it worked on live, and that's how it works here. Velious raid gear is insane, and gives a distinct advantage in PvP. Stripping people with an Abashi's Rod of Disempowerment, pretty relevant. Having over 1000 hp more than the people you attack and are attacked by every day, pretty relevant. A bluebies skewed opinion on what he thinks Red99 is - not relevant.

Blue is challenging at the high end because of the sheer time commitment tracking recharging variances the fact that you could have a mob taken from you because your pullers wernt quick enough to respond That sounds fucking awful. 4-5 years for comparable pixels to go afk with in EC tunnel. PASS

on red pve content is guaranteed except for when we fight over mobs, which happens every week. if you choose to play in a raid guild because you're the only players that care enough to actively pursue the content on a server designed for players to fight each other. I've been raiding / competing with other guilds in MMO's for years to get better pixels to kill more people with. Going from being able to only 1v1 someone to being able to 1v2 or 1v3 people is as fun as it gets.

Do you not understand that or do i need to break it down for your further i know sometimes australians have a lack of reading comprehension

God this guy is dumb.

Bards can swarm themselves to 60, and can go mostly AFK at raids without anyone catching on. What a hard class to play on a pvp server where in any outdoor zone you're practically invincible.

-Chestplate of Vindication
-Silver Chains
-Boots of the Vindicator
-Gloves of Stability
-Sleeper's Tomb Key

in two months? you're welcome.

if you had made any efforts where it mattered you'd still be collecting gear.

No one else is providing Velious pixels, and it's not awarded by a corrupt leadership <Empire> this is as good as it has ever been. It's not like you spent all your DKP either.

i like how you guys are saying the loot your getting is good, its got fat stacks, but the reason why that stuff isn't good is cause its drop rate. u guys don't even know what you don't know.

vulak.

Also i think charmbreak obviously woulda played better if he wasn't constantly hounded by tunes gestapo, when you treat your players like shit, they end up playing like shit, it's very telling with everyone coming here and badmouthing him that he was looked at as some kinda spy.

also i find it fucking hilarious that tune is looking in my direction for spies. he has no idea that its not even spies its his own friends just tired of him freaking out and talking to non guilded friends about it. there is nothing to spy on, its gossip. lol.

anyways, don't join red, people will cuck you unless you set the terms, if u dont set the terms before joining, and they fail to live up to them, don't soldier on you will know i was right. Don't waste your time.

yes, i don't allow myself to be cucked.... and if i am. i make sure im ninja looting to make sure im getting my fair share. the fact that people sit around cucking and DMFing people that repeatedly talk shit about you is the definition of cucking. I like you drakar. but to say i didn't do the right thing is wrong. because what they are doing to you and other members is wrong. getting even is never wrong. sorry.


edit: did you get your sow sword yet? you do realize when i actually paid attention more to my friends who feed me information about what the leaders of apex are saying, or when i get the chance to talk to them a while ago, they where laughing to me about how they wanted to see how long you'd stay in the guild before they had to give you a sow sword to keep you. Thats the definition of being cucked. i realized apex is the only option to raid velious, but where is your pride. And drakar on our friendship, if you believe we are still friends. im telling the truth about this. the people you are playing for are not the same people we used to play with in gods work, they changed. They arn't our friends anymore.....

Red is best. Agreed

its easy to get good gear in Apex because the core already has months of uncontested farming and all the pieces they want. Ur not gonna get anything they want but that is pretty much as it should be.

Expect to get slaughtered by Tdome as an Apex recruit -- overall better pvpers in Tdome but that's because we're playing from a large gear disparity and underdog status.

Overall though, you might have a better time on red if you are interested in 60 content as all loot and cash camps as well as raid targets are not generally contested. People will stop you from farming and camping stuff out of spite though.

So not gonna blow sunshine up your ass, but there are benefits to red.

100% of red population is garbage and inferior to me. I won the server so hard they had to nerf the ruleset :o the very fabric of your gaming experience has been altered, neutered so that bluebies will be rewarded with enough pixels to counteract the entropy i was inputting into the system.

the hilarious thing is i haven't even played in 4 or 5 yrs, so you have been cucked every day of your ingame life for a videogame project that took less than a month of orgasmically pleasurable griefing to bring to fruition. your population could never recover because the admins had to water down the server to keep it from hitting 1 pop. I personally killed your server. If you play postnerf red you are by definition my bitch.

the only opposition possible is to claim ignorance, which is generally going to be a truthful thing since the entire population I played with was driven from the server.

It's a simple story really, played from day 1, ganked dutifully until there were none left but twenty bluebies who had reached lvl 40 in 3 weeks by avoiding PVP and playing 20 hours a day. Every newbie zone totally vacant for a week of hunting, no more encounters with other predators, I called the server defeated. Ruleset change confirmed this.

gloinsz himself, "pvp champ" since LV, admitted on this forum to behaving as a bluebie when confronted on this board with my interactions with him in crushbone on day 2. Too lazy to dig it up but longtime contributors and pvpers with decade track records have admitted my superiority.

Tune, I used to be guilded with you albeit a few years ago. Then I realized what's the point of having this gear on a 100 man server where roughly 30% are in your level range and then 50% of that is already in your guild. Red is lonely most of the time. One guild will always rule the box whether its Nihilum > Empire > Tempest < [Insert next guild here]. For me, it was more boring going through the motions and mindlessly slaying dragons on a server with no competition than the less than ideal raid mechanics on blue...but hey, red is the closest thing to instanced based raiding if that's what you're into.

if you really think we are mad that we didnt waste 8 months cucking to get a dagger in the end stages of life of this server. you are sadly mistaken. we truely do look upon your spergout as a blessing and woke us to the fact that you where never really our friend, you used us and the people we attracted towards your ends.

in end you are just like nizzar tune, you use and abuse people. you still have a heart and feel guilty about it, and thats why you can't come to terms who the real shitbag of this whole situation is. you kicked your supposed best friends out of your guild over a manna robe/situation we had pulled pranks on many times. the only thing special about this manna robe was that YOU wanted to black hole it. you can make up whatever you want and lie and say this or that. but the only people that know the truth are me you jupe and vapo. and initially i was upset that i was kicked, because i was upset that my close friends would do that. but more and more i realized you had done us a favor. so thank you.

EQ free for the last 10 months, and i have kept in contact with my friends the whole time and they have been telling me you see agatha and jupe everywhere you look when a new player joins. how petty and paranoid of you. seek help. and fast. You have a legit problem.

edit: the second you had the chance to shed the boca bro's from you once you had used us and no longer needed us when you had your guild you got rid of us at first chance. call it ninja looting, call it what you will. you planned to get rid of us the first chance you had. after playing together for 3 years helping you level, with ports. everything. Just wish more people would awaken to this fact.

think's we are just throwing smoke when we actually think he did us the biggest favor. i feel sick just thinking how many years of my life and 20 hour days i gave to tune and the other gods work manipulators. it took more a long time, but i realized. Was never there friends, they would ask me for help with shit and i'd help them, they always would talk shit about drakar. always. and drakar would always come and help too, they never talked shit to drakars face. but it was constant.

2 weeks after i got kicked and i realized it wasn't tune just excersising his power and wanting me to beg and promise to not play around and he was serious about kicking out his best friends, atleast i had thought so after playing together for 3 years 20 to 60 hour playtimes, it was just a few of us for the longest time.

after those 2 weeks, i realized i was just another drakar to them.



oh yea dont forget that time my friendship was traded for <Friends> i realize i was on drakar level back then too when my best pals let friends boot me. or rather, forced vaporize to boot me.
