Low Playtime? Why RED is for you!

[Thoughtseize]

After my playtime took a large hit I started messing around on Red. There is a lot of doom and gloom on the boards concerning Red but for low-playtime folks I can't imagine a much better place to play.

Faster EXP - Have you tried Red since the latest exp changes? It might not suit the "I want to be 50 in a day crowd" but it is much faster than blue. I enjoy being able to make real progress on my character in short windows of time.

Raid on YOUR Schedule - Want to raid but have designated times you can play each week? On Red you can always raid. Even if all the mobs are down you can still grab a few buddies and engage in group PvP. Would you rather corner a dragon and kill it no differently than you have the previous 50 times or engage other live players in a dynamic experience that changes each and every time?

BoTB Everyday - Ambrotos has done a great job with the BoTB on blue. It's fun to watch and it's even more fun to seek the sense of accomplishment and respect that comes from vanquishing others in the arena. You have the chance to do that everyday on Red.

Generally Good Peeps - When I first tried Red upon launch I left because frankly it was filled with people I didn't want to spend my time playing with. However it appears most of those folks have moved on. As a general rule the folks who are left want to see the server succeed and are eager to lend a helping hand to those starting out. Vae Victis is gathering up a group of newcomers and leveling up as a guild and I know there are other folks looking to do likewise.

Now it's certainly not all roses on Red. With the low population its tough to find groups at present and I can't imagine how difficult it must be leveling a low level melee. But if you're looking for a place to spend your limited playtime I'd encourage you to give Red a try.

Kinda of seems like you are trying to convince yourself.

These are nice, but not great.

I could say the same things about Live and they'd all be true.

BLAH BLAH BLAH

Keep trying to convince yourself you want to play EQ with 20 people.

[Dullah]

Couldn't imagine it being so low, I spent an hour or more a day trying to persuade people not to play a video game they enjoy. How meaningless your existence must be...

Should probably just end it all.

Whine on Brotha.

BTW, If you notice, my sig... I talk shit. You can't seem to grasp the difference in actually being mad, and talking shit about you and your dumbass guild who thinks playing by themselves, on a PvP server, and calling it "winning" is the equivalent of the "Special Olympians" being the fastest retard to run through every hurdle.

[Dullah]

I recommend the hose from the tail pipe, but also a gun is quick and easy.

[Heavydrop]

I've spent a lot of time on Blue, but I confess I've been sneaking into Red sometimes
for a change of pace and scenery.
The low population has been a drawback but the people I've met there so far
have been friendly and helpful. That might change when/if I get into range with them
but so far so good.
Its coin only loot so the fear of losing that precious item is gone.
Someone griefing you and making EQ life unbearable? Play something else for awhile.
The exp bonus is enticing and has made leveling much easier.
It is a nice break from the monotony of Blue sometimes

[Tr0llb0rn]

glad you enjoy it, its the reality of the sever, not the hell on earth or fallout world that most of these butthurt forum trolls preach

[Tragidy85]

I just started tonight and seems to be nice. Threw on some tunes and busted out a quick four levels. Talked to a few Nihilum members and everyone was actually nice unlike the forum trolls depict lol. I am excited to play and hope to meet some of you in game. Feel free to hit me up name is Yulean.

[aerokella]

Special olympics? Yosto bro i had respect for you. We cant help it that everyone else was griefed off of the server. Maybe if the opposing guild(s) had some backbone and sacks (and not just randomly engaged everyone in range) wed have aome actual competition. Some claim to have won at pvp but where are they now? The tactics employed by every other guild but nihilum failed miserably. You cant just grief people into joining you against the white knights of nihilum with scare tactics all and that broham. Nihilum is and has been a safe haven against the shitbox vztz crew. Since day 1. So sorry they couldnt
Make it here. Being a kos guild on a 13 year old emu gets you nowhere but the shithole that the vztz crew ended up in. Had you all applied a different approach im sure things wouldve been different, competition and pvp wise and all. Instead... Yeahh.. Im drunk....

So very true. And them posting more on these forums then the actual players is a testiment to how very very very sore those buttholes are.

Oh well, better luck to you failures in your next game! Have you tried Tera? I think thats were holocaust left after their last few failed attempts to contest naggy and plane of fear. I hear its ez-ier, try it.

[Graahle]

While the gloom on the forums regarding Red is indeed entertaining, it still has not deterred me from rolling a toon. In fact, it basically enticed me to. Currently a level 3 Troll Shadowknight and eager to group up. Toon's name is the same as this one.

[Tassador]

things are looking good for us guys! keep on trucking vroooom!

[Runya]

Only thing that killed off the server was the lack of targets to kill.You guys are/were 75% of the population and when you only log on to raid there is no population.If winning is being the only ones left then you won.You guys give no incentive for new players to play since you guys drove the population down.I dont log in because theres no pvp.....and hasnt been in months.You guys are pixel whores who didnt wanna wait in line on blue so you created you own blue server.....and now you guys are all sad theres no population lol.Your retort? Come contest us during pve! Blue-ist shit i ever heard.....its Pvp first then Pve.Im sure if you guys count all the Nihi members you lost its more than holo or ff ever had....No one cares about here and pop will never rebound while LoZ around.If Kunark was released you wouldn't steal one player from LoZ back.Hackers get busted....things get fixed and most importantly Pvp happens! Sad you guys are still recruiting when theres only 6 other people on the server.But hey lower guk is exactly the way it was on classic this is definately the better server!

[Tumdumm]

everyone crying about no pvp means no pvp they could win

if there was literally no pvp you think i'd still be here?? i miss getting kills with 7 other players online, those dark days are past tho and with kunark around the corner i dont see steady 1 digit pop happening again :(

[Tr0llb0rn]

you won!


Yes, we know. Thank you.

Sad thing to add to complete that accurate assessment is that without pvp xp loss, Nihilum would have been challenged on their PVE, daily.

Yes that dead horse is nothing but soup now, but hey.

[Tr0llb0rn]

Nizzar, quick!

Add "XP loss in PvP" onto the big old pile of

BLAME!

[Juugox2]

lol you serious half a blue lost at 50 on pvp death is nothing :P no more excuses

[Tradesonred]

lol you serious half a blue lost at 50 on pvp death is nothing :P no more excuses

Yeah its nothing.

Now go with 4 of your friends and try to stop Nihilum's 20 or something from raiding all nite and tell me again about that half a blue thing you were talking about.

[Tr0llb0rn]

lol u dumb

the person you quoted did , along with just one other person (mellow) stop a FF zerg from doing vox all night.

u dumb

l2play

[Dullah]

tradesonred confirmed idiot

Sucked in pvp, died way too often > cries constantly about pvp exp loss like it was some big issue. Its like 2 dark blue kills to get back the xp on pvp death...

[uras]

ya have fun with 29 pop at peak hours. how is it player vs player with no players?

lol mellow had to be constantly prodded with a fork in raids to keep up, i can hardly see him stop a "FF zerg" in pvp from doing vox all nite with some other guy.

I left FF because i didnt like some of them, not because they sucked at pvp. I call bullshit on this 2 vs "FF zerg" all nite claim, especially with mellow being one of em.

By the way you really show you are better than holocaust with your main argument being "u dum huh huh huh"

[Dullah]

Your opinion holds so much weight around here. You must be right.

Ran into a handful of people myself.

[Tr0llb0rn]

yep been seeing a ton of new faces around latly

but dont tell the haters that, its gonna make em mad

[Danien]

All servers have had an upswing lately (P99, R99, LoZ) which is a good thing for anyone who likes EQ.

[Nizzarr]

Hopefully guild wars 2 sucks and it stays that way.

[Swampfeet]

It does suck, no worries

[Dullah]

Ya, don't think theres anything to worry about there. I know people who bought the beta and already decided they didn't want to play the game. At least Tera convinced me to subscribe for a month with the beta. I wasn't even intrigued by gw2 from the videos.
