Couple newb qs.
1) How screwed is a loner? If I avoid contested zones like CB and do something like... follow Sesserdrix's leveling guide (Hello Misty and bards), will I be able to do my thing? Or will I be punked around wherever I go until I join some big guild?
Totally safe, though because of the XP bonus and the helpfulness that friends provide you in PVP environment you'll find that you enjoy leveling in the hotspots unTwinked more than hard-core soloing.
2) Does the red forum community represent the game community accurately? Honestly, every time I see some trollish post by guys like Colgate I just wonder if playing with angsty teens is worth it.
Yes and no, almost everyone I've met in game is totally different than their form persona. In fact Colegate is one of the most fair loot distributors, organized and nicest Raiders I've ever raided with
3) Is it true that there was a guild called "Holocaust" on the server with lots of members named after nazis? It's stories like that which make me question how toxic the red community is.
Yes and no again, no there arnt a bunch of characters name after Nazis. Due to forum drama rivals of the guild Holocaust made them out to be a bunch of Nazis so the funny trolls that EQ PVPrs are some may have rolled a character to just to rub it in the faces of their rivals. I've been a huge opponent of bigotry in the blue forms, I can't stand it, but if I can Hackett on red, anyone can.
4) Wtf does "Pras" mean? I see it spammed in OOC all the time.
It derives from the role-playing ogre usage of the word praise. It's a goog way to say grats on red.
