I've never played on Red before. What would my experience be?
 

I've never played on Red before.

What if I created a character tonight?

Would I be showered with love & gifts or would it be akin to a fresh fish entering prison?

I'm genuinely curious, not trolling.

Both. But mostly the prison. With a lot of solitary mixed in. Unless you can poopsock 7 days straight with a good amount of charisma for the duration.

Only one way to find out for sure.

If you make friends and you're willing to learn the game mechanics, levels and items will come quickly and easily.

If you are prone to crying, don't want to learn how to play the game, or blame others for all of your shortcomings, you might find yourself posting a lot on this forum.

see sig for example of the latter

You get a song playlist when you're on red.

simply don't do it, don't go to prison.

Red is like the heros journey by Joseph Campbell, blue is like going to Disney land. You can be a beast and do things that you would normally have to wait in line for on blue. I tried to like blue but there's really no going back to a "first to engage" type of mentality. You might like it or hate it. Hit me up in game or another Savage if you wanna try it out

...and this ladies and gentlemen is why games like WoW got to 10 million subs.

"Gimme gimmie it right meow" - Sguchi's mentality.

Blue players who played here all state the same thing...

You're going to log in and be killed and bind camped by level 60 characters sitting at the newbie area login spots laughing at you til you log out.

They're waiting for you now... are you sure you want to do this? :/

Lol thats not the point in making at all. The handholding ez mode of wow is completely irrelevant in this discussion.
