When I played on live it was on Tallon Zek for like 5-6 years. We were very entrenched in an us-against-the-world mentality as a red server. "Bluebies are newbies" that kind of thing. I never thought playing on a blue server would ever be a thing for me.
Then I quit playing EQ altogether and for years all I had were my memories and fond talks around dinner tables with old friends. History became legend, legend became myth.
Then, 12 years later, I found p99 and have thought many times since playing on P99 blue "geez, how did I ever manage to play six years on a red server". While I did have some fantastic times and great stories I do wholeheartedly believe that EQ on a fundamental level doesn't work very well as a pvp game.
That being said, if there was a thriving population on red I'm sure I would eventually let nostalgia get the better of me and roll a char there.
