I gave Red a try a long while back during the time that the Teams server was announced as coming 'soon'. Same experience as the poster a bit above. I started in Faydwer so I knew better than to try to level in Gfay, and headed for butcherblock. Got bombed repeatedly after cresting level 6 from bone chip turn ins by a twink druid with high HP / Mana gear. Called loot and scoot, logged off, took a break, returned, and headed to Steamfont to continue leveling.
Within 30 minutes I was getting bombed by the same druid again. I had Anon running so I was at a loss at what I was doing wrong. Logged off, deleted, and gave the guy what he wanted. He wanted me gone, so I was gone.
For the folks beating a dead horse with the "join Red" threads, I pose you the following question.
If Everquest with PvP was the BEST way to play the game, wouldn't Red have 1200+ players in the evening, and blue have 200 instead? If I wanted a fantasy game with PvP I'd be playing DAoC. EQ was never meant for it.
