Here goes Red

[BUSHBOYS]

Tossing and turning on the idea of returning after completing install/setup this morning. Upon leaving Blue I handed out out all of the gear I had accumulated (58 War) as I did not think I would be returning. As it stands I want to play something else regardless so it is a reroll either way, but I am contemplating Red this time. If there is a group/guild looking for another I am open to playing just about anything, just looking for some peeps to play with as the solo to 60 life is not why I am going Red =)

[Tassador]

49 players on so obviously there are groups and pvp for all brackets.

Go play this instead - fresh DAoC server that launched lastnight - had 3,000 players.

Red99 is for drug addicts and loners.

What’s the difference between this and ulthgard

Quicker leveling - QoL things like mini map - a few class balancing tweaks.

[Ignight]

R99 is fine. You'll have fun. Numbers aren't great partly due to forum trolls driving away people. Or they split to other emulators.

Red is actually kind of fun. The global ooc is nice, the guild sanctuary is awesome and helpful for new players. Problem is you will need a solo able class at low levels the typical spots are ghost towns. I imagine if the nice guy environment stays for a bit more players will start showing up to avoid the blue swamp. But you'll definitly have issue leveling a cleric or rogue

68 players server is mother fucking thriving

^^ Quit years ago, still mad that people play... healthy mindset there.

[BUSHBOYS]

I have witnessed the dead zone that is lower levels. Not really interested in soloing on a small server as it was the group bonus that caught my eye. PvP and such certainly seems an intriguing twist, but as a melee class lover not really fond of whacking away solo for 20+ levels with zero gear. No groups = no bueno

[aaezil]

Massively multiplayer?

[JayDee]

Can always look at it in a positive light. With 25 people on right now, this guy joining is effectively a 4% increase in population. Two more people and we are talking double digit gains

Not mad pretty baffled. Still searching animal gifs and no longer an OG with that little 2 by swish. Keep playing the game man one day you will do it. Not sure what but you will do it!

Yeah I have 10 million doge coins. Again how easy is this guy to troll? Lol

[Arnoux]

Well I just joined the emu community after years of zek. I'll be figuring out the rest of the installation and rolling a toon today. IDK if there are only 50 players, I wanna give it a real go!

This you can actully get mobs and do content.

[immaterial]

red is great fun, but you'll probably want to bring a few friends.

[BUSHBOYS]

Well is there any interest from anyone in a duo/trio or more? As mentioned I can fit any role needed, and the idea of more availability for camps/mobs is intriguing. So if there is a guild or individual out there looking to add another player to the cause let me know, because trying to convince friends to play this game is a no go as there is zero nostalgia factor for them.

i was able to convince a group of my friends for a while, and most of them hadn't ever played. the nice thing about red is that there is an exp boost and no competition of over camps, so you guys will be free to explore and level as you please. this can make it an easier sell for friends than blue (where exp drips and all the good spawns/areas are perma-camped).

[ducktv]

No one plays this server except for drug addicts and losers. You will find no one to play with and solo for hours on end. Have fun idiot

Sounds great. Have you told your friends yet that EQ isnt a lan DnD game for 3-4 people but a MMORPG meant to be played with 100s and 1000s.

You might want to clear thie s up before they get to high level and realize it on their own.

Wrong like everything you post.


You cannot possibly play and interact with 100's or thousands of players. You are simply retarded. Anyone with 1-2+ friends can do anything in the game just the same as ever before. ToV content is more accessible starting on red today right now than blue ever will be starting today. Period. You can start red, be 55+ in a month grouping your entire way there, tag up Apex, and be snagging rot loot that blue players wont see in year+ investments of time into mains.

So you are just entirely wrong.

And from a roleplay perspective, red is amazing. Blue is horrible. 1999 everquest was not population based mmo play like WoW with instances and queues and instanced pvp where server pop matters hugely for queue times. It was played predominantly by players who start around similar times then go up together more or less. Much like Weekly Dungeons and Dragons Adventure League play works.

And unlike blue's economy, red players are mostly wearing what they quest and loot on mains not farming or taking freebies and then EC tunnel day trading to epics in their 30s.

The game factually could not support thousands of players in its prime.

*WROOOOOOOOOOOOOONG*

So if Red99 is such a great server why is it @ 50pop?

[BUSHBOYS]

Whelp created a teenie weenie Bard going by Rarelen. If groupage/guilding is to be had reach out! Otherwise kite kite kite till death.

[Tassador]

Fatso why do you argue with bird brains I mean there is 45 people playing lol. What kind of mass pvp or overall pvp be going on.

Smells like the same scrubs playing. You’d probably 22-2 here

[Ignight]

Forum trolls.

actually, yeah, EQ is a lot of fun if you treat it like multiplayer morrowind instead of EverQueue Camp Simulator 1999: Sit Around Instead of Playing the Goddamn Game Edition.

So if Red99 is such a great server why is it @ 50pop?

peeps are just scared of PvP. it's ok, though, like i said the game is simply better with low pop and better exp rates. you get to actually do cool stuff and play the fucking game since everything isn't camped 24/7.

[derpcake2]

not having any competition and just heading straight up for pixel pinata is about as unclassic as it gets

why not just edit a magelo and be happy with that? same kind of achievement, less effort, and an outsider might actually see it unlike your r99 chars

[Swish2]

EverQueue Camp Simulator 1999: Sit Around Instead of Playing the Goddamn Game Edition

lol

[Ivah]

Ya guys stop being dumb, tag up apex. One guild pvp servers are awesome.

[Hangerbaby]

For everyone arguing that it is fine to play on a 60 person server because "you cant possibly play with all 60 of them"

you know it takes less than 45 mins for a semi-competent individual to set up their own EQ Emu server, right? Can get to 60 and make end-game bosses have 1hp with a few clicks of the mouse! Wow! Imagine the loot you could get that bluebies couldn't see in years!

Amaze!

[Ignight]

Guess the "Wipe it clean." and "If they did it my way." as well as, let's not forget, "This isn't true classic PvP." crowd are not even semi-competent.

They sure are good at whining though.

Reality is all the blubie terrible EQ players that populate red99 now chain petitioning people for PvPing should be on PEQ server or Hidden Forest. They fail to see that they are the actual problem with the server. Imagine those sorts of players that takes them half a day to figure out how to connect to EQEmu servers, and play with default UI all scrambled over screen as its been15 years since they last played EQ.

Only reason they rolled on red99 is because they read somewhere that red99 has 290% group xp so rolled a toon on the server and think it's great. Then someone PvPs them so they get angry and /petition it then some Blue GM logs in and /suspends the player who PvPed them.

Red99 is a product of these sorts of players - and currently what populates it. It's basically a very special snowflake server.

Then mix in the last remaining vets who are so desperate to cling on to their pixels and be something that they run around PLing and giving out newbie items to people like most of the snowflakes posting in this thread to convince them this is great server. It's a false sense of achievement and only snowflakes think its great.
