[Mead]

[Goodest]

very true hey they had 200 people about 6 months ago for a few hours...there's a highlight

[Dolalin]

I bet their contract with Daybreak mandates they keep it open or something.

[skarlorn]

Cool

Lets talk about the red server some more <3

[FungusTrooper]

I'm really clueless when it comes to the Red server. What are some of the top guilds?

[Swish2]

some might say Apex is the top guild.

[FungusTrooper]

How many people do they got?

These honestly aren't troll questions, I know absolutely nothing about red whatsoever. Curious how a server with so few people actually works!

That's RNF summed up, nice try tho. Still mad in 2018 I see (oh wait, you were only pretending, got it).

[Jauna]

The Red server has two purposes:

1.) the containment server
it just fucking works and people do it themselves
2.) clearing a rare bug where you cant log into blue.
I dunno why but every time I get a weird error that lasts for longer than a few minutes I log onto Red, log off, try Blue again and bam.

[Swish2]

I see blue server as the containment server. Some of the crap that goes on, holy shit/yikes.gif

[Bboboo]

so mad

[Jauna]

I see blue server as the containment server.

Thats just a warped view on things, since Red has nothing going on ever you need some form of entertainment to keep you going so you constantly come to the Blue forums.

Like a poor child in rags with hands pressed against the looking glass you want... need something.

There's no such thing as "the blue forums", where does it say blue? This is for the "general community".

Sorry about that.

[Jauna]

Human contact would probably be my first guess in what you want from Red. yeah sure there are 50 other people but you are all in a super guild having little to any contest for mobs.

Maybe you are pressing against the glass harder than anone woulda imagined due to anger, rage and jealousy because while blue99 served its purpose to recreate the classic experience for 90%+ of the red/blue population, Red always fell short.

Between the literal fucking decade of the guides/GMs forcing/pushing/spamming Red99 it was the one server out of all of them who had the chance to provide the classic everquest PvP experience.. it never could.

[Jauna]

Now all I feel is pity.

[Jauna]

Im pouring out this drink and going to bed, this thread turned my mellow drunk into a sad drunk knowing that after trying for so hard and so long that you never really got what you wanted.

Or maybe I should raise this cup and chalk it up to a "cant always get what you want" moment followed up by a "shits classic"

[Swish2]

I think you'd like the red server.

No, I am a Bertox/7th hammer/prexus baby. the idea of pvp is just shit to me. Unless its a game built around pvp like Tribes or TF2 its just shit.

I like the ability to set an egg timer/my phone for the zones spawn time minus 20 seconds and camping something without worry outside of the random captain mcpullrulesoutofhisass tier assfuck who tries to wheelsesl me out of a camp for being afk between spawns as my Persian in pokemon blue with its 100% crit chance carries me through the game.

Like even now Everquest live has ONE pvp server left and even WoW only has a couple of those left.

MMOs and pvp just do not mix, never has, never will and that is just a cold hard fact.

As for the random image thing if I remember right that is from the movie The Little Toaster and that was a.. junk mover to the smelter dude guy thing

[Swish2]

WoW pvp was/is good too ^^

Most of the WoW emulated servers are pvp. Blizzard promotes family friendly carebear servers where everyone is a "winner" these days so they probably fell away with pvp servers in terms of popularity.

(how can everyone be a winner?)

[Jauna]

aka the money makers

[Jauna]

But, EverQuest was designed for pve first the foremost. PvP is an afterthought. While the idea of predatory combat with some buttnugget rogue with an epic ruining a group of 6s day sounds fun, its not fun for those 6.

Ever since the dawn of ever people want or like to feel rewarded for their perseverance and/or hard work. red99 is the antithesis of that in where might makes right, where ONE person can ruin an entire groups day and that one person getting NOTHING out of it aside from plat they dont need from the newbies corpses and the fact the group, naked, has little if any chance to get their corpse back on top of the recovery time/re-establishment time/history repeating itself over again.

In world of Warcraft the corpse recovery time was minimal/did not lock you out of an area for awhile and at least the ambusher got rewarded with vendor points.

PvP is fun for 1 in 7 people.

[Jauna]

And no matter how many "non classic" additions they make to red99 no one in their right fucking mind will touch the server with someone elses dick.

And with that in mind I stand by what I said before, it is a containment server for the 14% of the p99 playerbase or a nifty way to flush whatever cache is causing the logging into blue99 error.

Above: The glass is half empty.

Below: The glass is half full.

PvP adds an extra dimension to a well worn, well trodden game where nerds get mad over start lines, fraps each other and even lately try to get paid off to the tune of half a million platinum in exchange for not petitioning. The anger is so bad and out of control and there's nothing you can do about it - you can't hit each other, you can't engage in any combat and you need to train each other (which will get you banned if its intentional). You're literally powerless unless you work with your rival guild(s), which nobody seems to want to do judging by the bans that get handed out.

Over on the red server, raiders have to be alert to the possibility of an invasion from another guild while raiding. You can legitimately ruin a rival guild's day legally, and brag about it. Sure the numbers aren't as big, but the concept is still there. The solution to blue's anger and frustration is there - let the players take control of it themselves.

The red concept is what the blue server needs. I would love to be involved in some pvp with big numbers. I think Nilbog or Rogean video'd a huge DL fight on red one time, not sure where that is on Youtube but there somewhere.

It just lacks numbers now, and not because pvp sucks... but because low population sucks. Why did TAKP or p2002 never really get off the ground? There's so many people calling for Luclin/PoP/elements of both. Low population will kill any server, not just an EQ server...lots of failed WoW emus out there because people want a community to play with.

I still enjoy my characters on red, it's a good time even if I have to solo during Euro'ish hours.

[Bboboo]

No such thing as pvp/pve servers in WoW anymore.

Ya dingus.

I stopped playing well before it became Kung Fu Panda online, thx for update Blizznerd.

[FungusTrooper]

So, summarizing what I saw, there's only 1 guild on red?

So rather than shouting for mom and dad to resolve the issue Red is all about taking the ball and going home if you can't join the fun? Oh right, apparently ruining other people's day is a part of the fun.

Wait a minute... Perhaps these exciting tactics have reached such meta levels that rather than logging on to ruining someone's day they simply do not log on at all to ruin the entire server and thereby ruining everyone's day! GENIUS! < insert dead/dank memes here >

it must be super weird actually running into other people on a server that has 5x as many zones as players

[definitely not Draconite]

It's cool that there is a classic pvp server that still exists in the world.
