Red99 is NOT the classic EQ experience. The only faint basis for a claim that can be made is because the Kunark expansion is not yet present on Red99. In every other way, the PVP game is so not representative of what EQ is all about. It's like a bizzaro EQ if anything. For some, it is ok in it's own right, but it sure as hell is not "classic EQ". It is however, full of people who like to call blue players "pansies" and other similar derogatory names. This is a good example of the kind of mindset on that server. It is primarily confrontational between players, while the real, original EQ was designed for cooperative play.


It is true that the "Blue" classic server already has Kunark, but it is pretty much merely an extension of what the world was before Kunark was released. Essentially the world got bigger, new items were added, a new race was added and the level cap went up a bit. A few changes were also made to some gameplay mechanics to also match up with what was done in the original EQ for the Kunark timeframe. Very much the classic experience. You can still choose to play exclusively in the old original world if you like.
