How can you play Blue??

[jbs89]

How can you spend months crafting a character just to do simple combat and raid strats?? don't you want to duel interesting human opponents? Not just auto attack npcs. Please explain!

[Daldaen]

How can you entire pleasure in a game be derived from griefing people to the extent they quit the game? Usually in situations in which your opponent is buffless and out of mana and you are buff stacked and FM.

[jbs89]

Grief ing exists but there is also Good Mannered dueling and everything is a bit more hardcore. I've received tons of donations and only attacked by people my level. Same old good people we all came back for, just PvPing. It's not gank fest city

And the combat is amazing. It's just like how D2 pvp was a lady minute hostile option. Yet that pvp is better than diablo 3 for many reasons

[Galaa]

if i want to PVP, i'll go back to DAoC...

[Slave]

No point to playing on that dying server until they implement Teams.

[Flunklesnarkin]

hard coded teams would be a step in the right direction

Some games I play solely to pvp. Some I don't. EQ is one where I don't.

[Supaskillz]

I pvp in Call of Duty

[LizardNecro]

[Doublestep]

I would actually hazard to ask why you play PvP in a game that was totally not meant for it?

[Enygma]

I pvp in Call of Duty

^ this. Red sux.

Sorry pal. EQ is not a pvp game.

don't you want to duel interesting human opponents?

Red players are curious creatures :)

This, a huge step.

I would absolutely play on red if it had VZ rules(Lighite/Darkie/Peck/Elf teams).

It is rather odd to accrue such gear for no other point to use in PVE lol. Blue server is where the terribads play who got griefed off of red and sit around in thier grps or guilds and hope some1 compliments their gear that they only use in PVE. welcome to the year 1999-2002 where EQ was a new and exciting game but most were unaware of a thing known as a pvp server.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is a fine example of the average intelligence of a "red" player.

Clearly, you must be bad at all video games and griefed off of red to want to play a nice relaxing session of Everquest.

Yeah that certainly told them didn't it... how's your population now? 500 down to what?

[Galaa]

seriously speaking, there are many other MMORPGs that has better PVP than EQ. Heck even WoW has better PVP gaming than EQ ever had.

I'll play UO, DAoC and even WoW if i preferred to PVP.

[Tippett]

Turns out people prefer easier game styles, never woulda guessed that though with how shitty WoW did.

Defending playing casual EQ excuse, isnt that what all baddies say before they try pvp for the very first time?

Why is it that if people do not play the game in the way you happen to play the game (PvP in this case), then they are "baddies"? That shit attitude is probably why your server is bone dry.

[Hitchens]

Everquest simply isn't a PvP game. If you want PvP play Animal Crossing or Furcadia.

Funny how you think your some hot shit cause you play red and pvp. wooohoo your so cool brah! Get a feckin life ya loser. You have fun over there with your 80 player base. You are a baddie at life ROFL

[Muchew]

As much as I am a fan of EQ. The pvp game does not compare to any other MMO's pvp.... If it's nastalgic for you thats fine, but for the rest of us it just looks dumb.

[jbs89]

I've sold a 85 DK in t10.5 and now own public and Melee duelers on Diablo. Shadowknightd are more fun than WoW death knights!!!!

Google: ImperiumExDeus


I firstly said BEFORE the start it should be Good vs Evil but they rightly said the population was too small.

If you play Everquest, not Call of Duty, why not have a real challenge countering classes not just fighting auto attack NPC. Why I ask???


And Global OOC is filled with groups doing Befallen, Crushbone, Unrest. And there's plenty of other guilds.

Just because they're nOt all online doesn't mean they don't log in!!!

Plus no spawn fighting either!!

Why do you care?

[Hugmukk]

If the class that you enjoy playing is enchanter, or bard, or shadowknight or any of the others that excell in pvp then good for you. If on the other hand you enjoy playing a monk or warrior your screwed. Unless faced with one of the equally terrible pvp classes then you don't stand a chance.

[Within99]

EQ PvP is terrible get over yourself please.

[Tanx]

To be honest......
I primarily play here for the pre-RoK aspect.

[senna]

Eq is a terrible PVP game. I'd rather play counterstrike, d2, doac, etc for pvp.

also, eq pvp community is generally the strangest people I've ever observed online.

The lingo and memes are almost another language, I hardly even understand 90% of the posts.

[seaweedpimpz]

Why do you guys have such hate for red???


I started blue two years ish ago. I have raided and killed every boss encounter on this server, classic and in RoK.

My blue main has my vp loot than any of the other guilds combined.

My blue char has no competition anymore, they tucked tails and ran to eq mac.

Red is actually quite fun.

But really, i wont blame you if youre so terrible you can barely kill 12 y.o AI.

Try red. Youl love it.

It was seriously more fun on ly lvl 29 necro in cloth, killing players and trying to gear up, than it is to raid all of blues raid mobs in one day.

And that says alot. I still enjoy raiding.

[Phallax]

Why do people choose to play single player modes in a multiplayer game?

Why do people choose to just shoot a basketball around rather than join leagues and tournaments?

Why do do us blues choose to play blue rather than red?

Because we fucking choose to. What does it matter what anyone else does, if they enjoy it. Do what you like to do and stfu about what others like to do.

[Within99]

Its not about whether we can handle it or not, its about we don't give a fuck.
So why do you give a fuck?

[chosen one]

^ alot of baddies posting above this post. Playing a 13 year old emu box has little challenge or excitement outside the pvp factor theat eq provides. Contesting for mobs kepping others from killing mobs having a say in the server is what reds all about. Most of these posters are shown to be griefed off red or scared to pvp, lol at playing blue because auto attacking a 13year old mob is more entertaining then being aware of your surroundings at the same time. Why do you care? well why wouldnt people care about your flawed excuses.

yep the only reason people choose not to play on red server is they are bad at eq


has nothing to do with the numerous non-classic things about to server or the low population.

I'm not terrible, my Necromancer is wearing the appropriate charisma gear.

exactly, easy for red forums to be shit up because everyone is trolling. as for blue, ignore it and it will never be a problem.

[Flunklesnarkin]

I can understand their frustration


they put all that time into a failing server.. they probably just need a hug

[Winni]

Yeah p upset it was launched and has had like 2 actual patches i think?

[Daldolma]

You have to be p obese to talk smack about how your version of a 13 year old video game is cooler than someone else's. May the diabetes gods show you mercy.

[jbs89]

Red has just begun! Start EverQuest the right way! I /camped on Blue when I heard RUMORS of Red.

You have no point and no-one cares about your imaginary Epeen.

[Vostok]

I'm sure it's been stated but daoc> eq pvp by a shit ton. If i want to pvp I'll go play daoc.

[jbs89]

Daoc sucks cock

[mwatt]

pffft, for the life of me, I don't see why you would want to take one of the greatest games that mankind has ever created, and fuck it up by doing pvp in it.

[Flunklesnarkin]

original planetside pvp was pretty cool too.. man i wonder if there are any emu's out there for that..


planetside now is gay.. stupid orbital strikes.. not even much of pvp.. just an "i win" button



i think its the only open world FPS game to date?


most fps games are limited to scenarios / maps, 32 vs 32 etc etc


that game didn't have that, it was a massive world to conquer / hold... and had to skill up your weapons and technology skills to be able to use varying weapons in the game.

[Vostok]

Daoc sucks cock

haha no

[Shabaza]

Maybe you cant imagine it.

But there are more ppl. who aren't interested in pvp. Why? Who cares.

For me PvP is a part of a game I would not be missing if it is not implemented.

Oh I tried PvP once in EQ and open Pvp in WoW and the closed things in WoW ... but ... nah .... its nothing Ill buy a game for.

Maybe Im to old? too slow? too bad? Dunno .. in PvE I was one of the raidtanks in a guild with serverfirst kills in PoTime ..... but who cares.

But one thing for sure ... I hated beeing griefed, corpse camped.. .

[jbs89]

It's a simple Equation. Diablo 2 is the only game with Melee click and hold duels. It's public duels are arguably better than any of the d3 beta skills.

And Skyrim is the best RPG out right now if you put the game to Hard and hunt Dragons. DoaC wins how? I can tell you hunting next gen graphic dragons is way better than the paper machet D3 graphics.

What's the point of raiding and collecting gear just to kill simplistic NPCs and yes fight epic Bosses but the game is static and the bosses aren't going to be as intuitive or cunning as a person.


And then EverQuest, WoW tricked me into thinking Death Knights were shadow knights. I stayed for Arthas but sold my gear since Cata failed and bought D2 gears that will last forever. ImperiumExDeus no spaces, check it.

My Shadow Knight is a lord of dueling and my Blue shadow knight has been /camped since they started DISCUSSING a Red server

[maahes]

if i want to PVP, i'll go back to DAoC...

AMEN

[Within99]

World of Warcraft PVP was the most fun I ever had, and I played a fucking Warrior.
I could easily mention more games but Fuck EQ PvP.

[Vostok]

Daoc pvp wins because it's more than the lol I grief you xDDDD shit that goes on. I am more actually referring to Daoc RVR there were some seriously epic battles in that game.

[Groo]

I never bothered with Red99...I knew it wasn't going to last.

However, I feel like PvP players are getting a bad rap, here. I played on Rallos before Kunark, and for a while, it was the most fun I ever had in any MMO. I went there partly out of curiosity, and partly because I was sick of all the constant bickering and complaning over spawns, camps, etc. on Povar. It felt overcrowded. Rallos didn't have these problems. It had other problems, sometimes extremely aggravating, but overall it was worth it. Actually, it was a huge waste of time, and a bit of a mistake to play as much as I did. But I really enjoyed it.

I get that EQ PVP is not so great. But back then, there wasn't much to choose from. Sometimes, you just make the most out of what you have. I liked the extra challenge, and there was a whole other social aspect of allies and enemies and vendettas that blue servers could never provide. I can totally understand why some people want to bring that experience back.

There were a broad range of different types of players, not just "griefers." Honestly, some of the best and most dedicated roleplayers on any server, in any MMO I ever played were on Rallos. When I got a new job and had to take a break from EQ, I returned later to play casually on various blue servers. Regardless of where I went, for the most part, all people seemed to care about was leveling and loot.

[Sickle]

FYP

"How can you play RED??"

[azeth]

I can see Red99's appeal, even for classes who likely get spanked during every fight. The thing is, who the hell has time to deal with griefing and shit?

When I did play a while ago, I'd log on with 2-3 hours to play for example. If the first hour of that time was spent trying to find a safe time to even log my character in without being raped on my spawn point, kind of a waste no?

edit: this is from the EC section, level 50 necro on Red99. Most powerful class that you could possibly play in PvP, lvl 50 and geared. Red is dead.

Blighted Robe/Sleeves/Skullcap/Boots
Jboots, Guise, All spells including 49s
Fully geared has 200 int w/ MR bracers
*Spell: Summon Corpse

Account comes w/ 24 Cleric w/ Guise.

Looking for BLUE items, accounts, or platinum.

[gnomishfirework]

I play Red occasionally. I just don't like soloing.
