View Full Version : RED ELI 5

As the title suggests, can you explain the Red server pro/con situation like I'm 5?
My wife and I have been having a blast on Blue (albeit usually just us in a duo).
I know the basics: LnS, Bonus Exp, raid rules etc. But I'm curious, is PvP the main draw or just a fun mechanic that's enabled? I don't mind dying from time to time, but like most of us, I have a life to live and CR's aint exactly the joy of my life.
Of course if you ask RnF all you Red folks do is kill newbs and behave like savages. Likewise, if you ask about the blue server everyone sits on their hands and waits for pixels.
I know the RnF Blue sentiment is false, I assume the Red is too. But you all play here a lot and I wanted your opinions on the matter before we decide to jump in.
Side Question: If we were to duo, never having played PvP in EQ, what's a good duo to be left alone(ish). I'd like our first set of toons to get to 60 without being miserable. (so far, we both love Druids, but I doubt they're good PVP lol).

Pick things that can feign death so that the fight is you vs them and not you vs them and mobs. Make the NPCs their problem. And one the guys with the highest body count was a druid - Haterade. There's a sweet spot in levels that he exploited pretty well.

Dude I am sure you have good input in that post but if you haven’t seen the graphs as of late red is banging. There is this guy who almost has engaged in pvp also so fuck man now is the time.

It's quite obvious you hold ill will against Red, but please don't spoil this game for others with your lack of input and toxicity.
I'm sure you find your post humorous, but I've seen you in enough threads to know that you are not contributing to the conversation as a whole in just about anything you post.
If you feel the need the need to be disruptive, please use RnF, we have it for a reason.
I'm asking a legitimate question to the players on Red. I don't care that it has a low server pop or isn't SUPER active in raiding. I've been on P99 since 2011 and have ONE level 60 toon. Getting to end-game content isn't everything for everyone, and I am indeed not interested in the raid scene. I find it interesting that not only do guilds/groups have to kill mobs, but also have to deal with other players. That dynamic makes me curious if this is better than blue (for me anywho).
That being said, you have obviously been around a long time and if you have real and valid input, I would indeed appreciate it. For now, your toxicity on this server as a whole is a bit off-putting and very misplaced in this thread.

Way better druids then Hateraid, who just stayed at level 55 to avoid level 60s. Tamtam, Bokke and so on were all good druids

PRO:
Exp Bonus - increases with more group members. Great for making alts and trying different classes.
No lines & no waiting for 20 year old pixels - you will have any dungeon all to yourself.
Despite being an old server, the above Pro actually gives Red a fresh feel. Most mobs you are killing probably haven't been killed in weeks or months.
Global OOC - chat with the server or sell your wares from anywhere. No need to sit around a boring tunnel.
You will actually experience very little PVP until end game. This is because leveling groups actually want you to fill that exp bonus spot as well as there being so few players. This can be a PRO or CON depending on why you are here.
No need to play politics and squabble about mobs or lawyering over the server rules...if someone pisses you off... kill them, pure and simple like.
CON:
Very low population - not bad at all though if you plan on soloing / duoing.
Very little PVP until end game. This is a con if you are actually looking to kill people.
Very few people to actually sell your wares to.
You will be killed from time to time, but that should come as no surprise. This server has kiddie rules as far as penalty goes though. You will walk away with a little less coin (whatever you were carrying) and perhaps wounded pride.
As far as classes...I'm very partial to casters / priests. Anything with high amounts of utility. You'll want to be as self-reliant as possible on this server. Being able to port yourself is a huge bonus, so a druid is a good choice (also good in PVP). I would consider a pet class for the second choice to enhance your farming capabilities and dungeon crawling experience.

Woah wall of text dude. I’d totally play red with the 66 players but seeing how I played with those guys 5 years ago for 5 years and the server has absolutely no new content that isn’t explored in minutes, going to have to leave it to you to jump on this game. I will channel my spirit through you. Use your box (I mean wife) to destroy anyone in rags while befriending the rich only to take their shit if you’re ever given a login. Most of these guys give it pretty quick seeing how befriending a third of the server takes a week tops.

Smallme the Druid was a real terror.
It depends on who you run in to really for the PvP, some are relentless others will just gank and go. I haven’t played in years so I don’t have any idea what it’s like currently but when I did play I was a wizard specifically to port and hunt people. So the pure pvpers might still be out there. But it’s probably not that bad right now, it never really was, you could easily duo somewhere off the beaten path and basically only PvP at your discretion.
Go for it. Red can be exciting and challenging. The PvP element adds a whole new level to the games immersion factor imo. Good luck

I found popular camps in guk like bedroom pretty fun back in the day. But one guy would easily wreck a grp of blue bluebies Exping.
Definitely learn to fight back so if you're grouping you can contribute. Also you'll probably want someone who can tash or malo if you want spells to land on twinks.
Most people already have geared twinks logged out in the most popular spots.
That said it only took me a few hrs to get jboots on a character and I got like 2 free boots. Plus some other offers.
Lots of adventures to be had, but if you're a social butterfly it'll be weird sorta interacting with all of the cliques. You'll have to pick sides at some point and you will always be KOS to some. There's no real coalition of "good guys".
Sometimes you'll have to just log out or switch zones, or log into an alt, if a crew rolls in to like, control and pl in unrest.
You could also just wind up PL'd super quickly.

This is good info. I think loads of Blues will be starting on the NEW RED! Especially when they’re out of expansions.
I’d suggest Shaman/Mage, Druid/Necro, or Chanter/Cleric.

Basically, I think it all really boils down to how confrontational you are when it comes to EQ.
If you thrive in conflictual situations, Red may be for you. If you'd rather seek to get along with people, Blue/Green is probably best (they have their own demons but we're not talking about that).
If you don't want confrontation, you still can find Red attractive if you want to play soloquest in places that are crowded on PvE servers. PvP is easy to avoid if you don't want it once you acquire a little experience. Another reason to play on Red while disliking PvP is to join the dominant guild and raid high end content with little to no competition.
One important thing to know is that if you plan on playing Red for the PvP, you'd better be ready to put in hours and play it like it's your only job. You will have a lot of catching up to do as the server is old, immense amounts of twinks are equiped with godlike gear and being dropped in there with no PvP experience or gear will mean that you will get dirtnapped by just about anybody.
EQ PvP itself is an interesting beast, that isn't trying to pretend to be anywhere close to any kind of balance. It is what it is and it can be incredibly fun or incredibly frustrating, depending on your approach and objectives.

For real Tass - maybe tone it down just a little bit. You've been really beyond negative lately when I skim the forums. Usually you make me laugh but it's almost hinting at your inner feelings rather than being ambiguous. (Repression)
I don't play anymore either brother but it's still something a few folks enjoy. If it's making some people happy then let them have it =-).

just curious, do you only lose coin, or can/will your gear also be looted by a winner?
PvP is easy to avoid if you don't want it once you acquire a little experience.
Do you mind to elaborate a bit? Serious question. I may try red at some point. But I would like to know more about that experience that helps you sometimes to avoid PvP ;-)

Just coin, no XP loss for a pvp death.

You will find real friends if you aren't too dumb.
The reason red is better is because you don't HAVE to wait in line, so those guys doing camps are more friendly. These days most camps are open, but still.
I would suggest a duo like a shaman and an SK ogre which are both good classes in their own right but make a decent duo.
Or whatever you feel like actually. If you play as a duo almost anything can work.

There are like 30 different people playing on red, each has a bunch of toons. Over time, even though everyone is /anon, you just end up learning who is who, which ones are OOR to you, and what to expect from them. Like, if you're solo leveling a twink in, say, Mistmoore, and you see a known noob-hunter popping in, deleveled and equiped with VP / Velious gear and whatnot, you can safely go ahead and camp or zone, you will not kill him. There, you avoided PvP that you had no shot at winning.
Also wherever you are, as long as you always keep in mind your plan of action in case PvP happens next second, you're mostly OK.

You don't know me and you shouldn't. But Even I do. I say this to totally back up gustoos assertion here.
Red is pretty special in them thars ways.

My take: not opposed to your take: There's at least a 300 unique players and a 1/3rd ish of them play at any given time or have played in the past, its a pretty big and diverse community. More bluebies will come back once they break their pixel addictions and eventually that number will rise.
Especially if velious is red 1.0 and Kunark red.20 and pixels aren't the end game again.
It kinda blows my mind that there isn't a 6 man hit squad of streamers killing twinks in places like CB and unrest for the epic lulz and ad revenue with walmart gear.
U want to dominate red, just roll with a friendly enchanter, and 'cruit a sham, play a wiz or mage gg
not everyone has good gear, i have trash pre-planar classic gear on all my toons, i'm easy to kill, i just don't play 24/7 like the velious twinkies
you can still usually find a person leveling a bard pretty naked and just root them for some fun times

Little bit late to this thread but here's my take. Background info: this is the opinion of someone who's been on Blue off and on for like 8 years and on Red for the past 6 weeks.
The PvP at lower levels is pretty minimal, with occasional exceptions when people get aggressive in areas like Unrest. I'm level 53 currently with moderate play, and I've engaged in PvP like 5 times, maybe a little bit more.
My enjoyment is enhanced by a group of us from Blue server starting here together, all at varying levels but keep in touch via discord and our guild chat. Hearing from them and my own experience, the PvP increases end-game, particularly in places like Kael, Plane of Mischief, Western Wastes, and Sebilis. It seems that even at end-game, PvP does not happen every session. I would describe is a fun dynamic that adds danger to a very much PvE oriented game.
The most populated guild is called <Sanctuary> and are generally ignored for PvP purposes. The OOC channel is global, which helps in group making.
The population is very small, finding a group or duo partner below lvl 50 and even after is pretty difficult. However this comes with a huge upside, in that people tend to get to know one another, communicate well and plan to group on subsequent days. My friends list grows much faster on Red compared to Blue.
The population and item downsides have been touched on pretty well I think. I'm enjoying it, to me it feels very PvE focused with the added dynamic and danger of PvP.
Yellow text shows up on everyone's screen when any character is killed in PvP across the whole server. So you get a pretty good idea of how often PvP happens, and during my sessions I see 1-2 hours go by without anyone dying to PvP. Often the whole server makes a couple comments in the OOC channel.
See you in game I hope!

Yeah its fun to read these posts. I spend half my time on the forums asking for a new server, but if I was going to take the time to play right now, I would be playing on red 1.0 because its just where I would rather be.
It's kinda like people moving to LA because they want to feel like they are in the place things happen (project 199 green) but when in reality they would have much better fuller life if they were to live in the country or somewhere they can ride 4x4's and shoot guns out their living room.
Red 99 isn't full of a buncha cool rural people or anything but you get the idea. It depends how you want to play. Blue and green have every high value camp insanely saturated to the point that the game is nothing like classic everquest. I don't know if these guys have serious pixel rot or a thriving RMT community because it certainly doesn't seem FUN to do that.
Take your pick

Blue player here. Switched to red, and haven't looked back once.. Love having open camps. I have met plenty of people who i keep busy with on adventures. Many folks have alts of multiple loves and willing to login and adventure.
The PVP aspect adds some pretty cool stuff to the normal everquest vibe. Not knowing who to trust until you know them or the server. Second guessing people porting or LFG in /ooc cause you think they might stab you in the back.. People duking it out over a camp. People paying other people for your location... Changing your spells up when you leave an empty zone cause you dont wanna get jumped..
As a blue player since 2016, i already got to 60 and finished an epic.. I don't want to do that again and again, Red helps breath some life back into the game for me. A new learning curve, faster exp, and much more adventures to be had with so many open camps.
As a casual player- For sure red is the answer. At least my answer.. If you looking to join sanctuary, just let me know and i can send an invite!

Blue, green, there are professional crews that rotate/list. Of course people can't "kill you ". But I find green players extremely hostile and selfish about mobs they feel entitled to. It's like the only way they can express themselves is to level efficiently or acrue loot so they lose it if you don't "grind hard enough " or get out of the way.
Red, is wide open and often people will help you or even let you move in and camp things as there's no need to farm 3000 thick banded belts to buy an epic.
Sometimes you'll die and have to play an alt somewhere else, but lower guk will become accessible again, usually in a few hrs.
There's plenty of talkative people on both servers and I find red players generally more interesting and quirky than blue players who become severely agitated and aggressive if you inconvenience them in any way.
Often on red we compliment each other for creative big plays or cleverness and sneakyness.

I am glad you guys are having fun but that is so shitty for me to hear that on a pvp server you don’t engage in any pvp until 50ish. Really what makes pvp eq fun is that grind and the struggle from 0-50. Not nuthugging zone dancing top gear top buffed pvp.

PVP is the main draw. With low pop it doesn't happen a lot.
Items on PVP server matter that don't matter in any other part of everquest. Resist gear in particular is important in ways that it is not except in special PVE situations on live. Clickable items in numerous varieties.
On blue server you can use whatever dumb ass gear you want and honestly the game is easy the mobs just die it doesn't matter. You never need to bother self buffing except special circumstances etc etc
On red server your character strategy matters. I roll around with 5+ empty buff slots and a full round of fresh cleric buffs all the way down the line 100% of play time. On blue I walk around like a slob with Doritos on my belly because it makes no difference.
Basically the only thing that matters on blue is cosmetic preferences for your character. On red every part of the game matters and is worth exploring. Its no joke that on live, pvp players were certainly superior players to bluebies. You just had to be. You had to know more about the game to be successful on pvp.

It's refreshing to be on a server where people AREN'T spending 100% of their time camping the same item over and over and over just to tunnel fat cat it. It seriously is refreshing.. You need an item for a toon or a buddy? Then just go camp it, and move on.
magnetaress
11-19-2020, 03:42 PM
Red is top heavy. That's the way it's going to be.
Its a group game. If you want kills, a shm/druid battle buddy combo is strong. Because of velios it is necessary to have a tash/malo.
Solo pvp. Rangers,paladins and sks are strong. They can spam cheaper spells and joust.
Just can't steamroll and dominate red solo like people do when they twink on green. It's how EQ be. If you want ezmode. Sure green is easy if you don't mind waiting in line for other players to have their fill of pixels.

Red players have said for about 5 years server is open. Go get whatever item you want. Shit join the one guild and get whatever end game loot you want. But if you really want a red server pvp has to go on from level 1-60 and that is just not viable on a stagnant locked box server.
There are like 30 different people playing on red, each has a bunch of toons. Over time, even though everyone is /anon, you just end up learning who is who, which ones are OOR to you, and what to expect from them.

Ahh, ok makes sense, thanks.
Higher level players, twinked up, can de-level? Ouch! There are noobs hunters?!? Ouch 2X!
I'm probably the only player I should never try Red, I'm very bad and clumsy player. Danger to myself more that to attacking NPC's. I killed myself few times. I'm sure I have a record of deaths on green, just can't prove it. I solo so I don't get group wiped out... you get the idea
I'm sure I will never ever be able to ever win a PvP. Even if I'm 4 levels higher. So i'm thinking to try to specialize in running and escaping. :p Does Feign Death works on Red against players? ;-) Probably not. Would Druid be a good choice for me? Root the attacker and zone out...
Seriously, I don't ever plan to attack anyone and I will try to escape 100% PvP's if possible. I will try to make an career out of running and escaping. What do you suggest, besides don't create a toon on red? ;-)
p.s.
who is the biggest bad ass I need to make a friend with on red? lol
The most populated guild is called <Sanctuary> and are generally ignored for PvP purposes.
Ahh, if I understand correctly, if you are in <Sanctuary> you are less likely being attacked, because of the size of the guild and potential revenge?
Cool, do they accept lvl 1 players? ;-)
I'm seriously considering playing on Red, but my play style would be different than any other player. I'm thinking to make a carer in running and escaping PvP's. If I manage to escape an attack, I will count it as a win for me. If I fail to escape and I get killed I will count it as my loss. I will track my score. It may be fun :) Not everyone need to be a bad ass lol
Would Druid be best fit for my career? Or what class/race combo you all suggest?
I'm also thinking, if I gift SoW and other buffs, if I port you for free, you can't be that heartless and kill me later?!? right? Right???

necro's can be pretty slippery, monks are even more so in dungeons because they are tough, wizards are pretty slippery because they can stun u and gate
monk and SK don't have gate :(
wizard with ports means u can meditate somewhere other than your bind point, same goes for druids
druids can help other players which is nice
---bards and enchanters--- can sometimes be slippery but mez can be countered to easily by good players, and the selos is awesome but useless if your cornered, bards can't fd in dungeons

You should go druid/enchanter. Cleric/enchanter is good if you are going to be hardcore but druid/enchanter is probably better for casual duo. You can track your mobs outdoor, port, snare charmed mobs, sow.... it will just be a more fun duo to casually go through content from 1-60.

I second that. No need to go out of your way to farm gear either, things will just be ez pz. And you can make alts easily aswell.
I only attacked one person after they ported me and they were in Sanctuary.
LMAO!

I'm seriously considering playing on Red, but my play style would be different than any other player. I'm thinking to make a carer in running and escaping PvP's. If I manage to escape an attack, I will count it as a win for me. If I fail to escape and I get killed I will count it as my loss. I will track my score. It may be fun :) Not everyone need to be a bad ass lol
Would Druid be best fit for my career? Or what class/race combo you all suggest?
I'm also thinking, if I gift SoW and other buffs, if I port you for free, you can't be that heartless and kill me later?!? right? Right???
If your character isn't named Sirrobin then you have missed a tremendous opportunity. Bonus points if it's a bard (although I guess you can pay the bards to follow you and sing about you as that would be closer to the movie...)
