Economy, spells, etc - thinking about Red
 

Giving serious consideration to trying out Red as my primary home. Given the experience boost and apparent lack of players compared to Blue, I'm a little concerned on affording spells / gear / etc.

Can anyone from Red shed some light on that for me? Those xp boosts are huge and attractive, but I fear out-leveling my capacity to support myself.

Thanks in advance,

People will give you most spells for free: besides malo/pox/vog/torpor/druid mana regen spells (mask of hunter erc.)

They are desperate for new players and if your buy in point to spending your gaming time on red99 is a 500pp POTG scroll than you dont need to worry about that.

Thanks for that WK. What about just normal stuff - ordinary spells etc? Or is that similar to blue?

If you play people will give you stuff - plat, PLs, spells, items.

The player bases' desperation for new blood will deliver you with many gifts along the way.

Duly noted - thank you sir.

Think about this...the fungi is probably camped 24 / 7 like it is everywhere.

You are allowed to 2 box red and blue

No one plays red

Boxes of fungis sitting around.

Boxes of everything sitting around.

Some of the people answering your questions don't actually play on red. They are better off answering your questions about EC tunnel farming.

As for red:
Expect to go from 1-60, still be in rags and missing spells.
None of that will prevent you from getting groups or raids.
There isn't much of an economy, but you can still find things to fill in spots.
because of that most don't care about 90% of the drops and they are vendored or given away.

People are generally pretty chill and all the equipment/spells work itself out.
Even most epic weapons are very achievable.

If you are an autistic crybaby, people will make your time here miserable.
If you are chill you can make some pals and gains.

Don’t even fucking think of playing on red

Imagine being so terrible at a game 20 years old that you're asking for help for spell money cause you level to fast?

Can they just turn pvp off on red and let it get 500 scrubs playing on it already? The people who play are blue as fuck and possibly mentally diseased. Just saying same shit multiple hours a week 7 years in...

- Spends years farming noobs on fungied overtwinked alts
- Calls people blue
