Red Server Threads, Blue Server Threads
 

This has gotten to a breaking point, so I'm putting out a final warning to all involved.

1) Cross server recruitment threads are not going anywhere. If Blue/Red community members want to promote their respective servers on these boards, they may do so. This does not mean you need to spam the forums with 100 threads. I haven't really seen that happening (until today, when a handful of people decided a 15 year old elf-sim forum was a great place for satire).

2) If you're going to post a cross-server promotion thread, keep it clean. Do not attack either server or it's respective players. We are all here to play Everquest. Each server provides it's own special flavor and helps different people achieve what they'd like to achieve on this Project. There is no "right" way to enjoy Project 1999. Let's be mindful of that moving forward.

3) There will be no more antagonizing members of another server by posting negative comments in their respective promotion threads. Too often I've seen:

OP: Come play here! It's great!
Poster1: harhar your server is terrible
Poster2 (defending OP): at least we <insert whatever here>
Poster1: See harhar that proves it, terrible

If I see anyone doing this outside of an RnF thread, your forum account will be banned. If you don't have something nice to say, take it to RnF. If you don't think people should play on <insert server here>, take it to RnF. If you had a bad experience on serverX 10 months ago and want to let everyone know that's the way it still is, take it to RnF.

We're going to keep this clean and civil from here on out. I have no problem removing people from both sides for violating these simple, easy to follow rules. Don't test me on this, because I <3 you and will absolutely remove you from these forums if I have to.

Lastly, thanks to everyone who cares about the Project enough to respect it's staff and it's servers. Special thanks to everyone out there who couldn't care less about all of this, and/or don't even know what I'm talking about. I love you most of all.

Come play on red deruadog

Thank god, the constant "zomg come play red1!!1!1!" posts on the blue server forum chat is pretty annoying.

Deru has a bit of a hard on for red 99 but lets not complain, at least there is active staff.

Derubael kicked my dog.

i think you need to reread what deru posted

I don't like either side knocking anyone. It makes both communities look bad. Unfortunately, both sides antagonize one another until it devolves into a shitfest, so that's what this post is here to address. This isn't the first time a "come play on blue" thread was made in the Red Server forums, but today was the first time it really got out of hand across the board (I looked this afternoon and saw almost 10 threads about this, from one side or another). It's silly, promotes a bad image, and needs to stop.

We've been promoting Red 99 as a staff for the last couple weeks. I do a stupid amount of CSR work on both servers, and due to it's high population, the majority of that time is eaten up by Blue. I enjoy both servers and have played on both, but Red has been sorely neglected for a long, long time, and it was time it got some love.

Thank you for this post Derubael. Its time to stop all the hating.

Derubael loves me! /blush

It's funny because we're all playing the same game.

We're all terrible :(

Sorry Deru
