Joined on January 31, with no support and my only EQ experience was a blue 29 druid from 2001. Solo'd until 46 picking zones wisely and reading about PvP. Talked to other necros for tips. Self made gear up to that point. Sure it took me away from some people, and I had to set aside time to farm plat for my own gear, but I was mid 40's with a positive kill death ratio.
I will tell you the same thing the first guy to kill me told me, drop the blue mentality now. The earlier you start attacking people the better. If you want to wander the zones being the one attacked fine, but just accept you are playing a fast blue server with griefers (in your mind).
That was the best advice. This is red. There are twinks. Guess what, and mid levels and above they aren't that great if you can get the jump.
The blue mentality is what holds so many new players back. They keep telling themselves they will pvp "once they have gear." That is why so many flock to empire or fresh. There are awesome pvpers in those guilds. But behind those groups are players who just want an easier blue.
One guy called me an asshole for killing him and just wait until he got gear. He is still 8-20. Never got any better with gear because he didn't get the difference between red and blue.
To the griefers and pvpers on this server, thanks. Most people on this server will tell you what you did wrong when you die. The core of this server wants to fight. Or as Nirgon put it, "Wolves, Sheepdogs, Sheep." If you need an anti-pk guild, then you ate sheep looking for a sheepdog...
Welcome to red, now fo sucker punch a few people until you understand that is our server. Took me about 10 fights to begin to "get" red and to fight better.

LOL see now this is the problem with the leaderboards; and the server in general. Attacking a player whos at 15% hp and has a mob on him, while technically "PVPing," is really just GRIEFING.
The leaderboards only serve to encourage this nonsense as well as all the deleveling ubertwinks which are in far greater number than they ever were on live.
Live did in fact have "anti-PK" guilds. They were some of the most active PVPers, too! They were generally in place to deal with said ubertwink griefers. On this server
you don't have that because the ubertwinks are all alts of high level players from the same guild.
I've yet to see ONE twink PVP against another twink. Instead they kill everyone else in Unrest then form an ubergroup of fungi-epic-noobs to XP insanely fast.
