You guys who only play blue really have no idea what red is like... you have to actually play before you judge : / only true thing is population is lower and more fickle. But if you play blue and enjoy the pve.. well you can do more of that, and faster, on red... If pop is so low you would never see anybody who would PvP you! why not roll on red with your crew? Also the community on red is actually stronger in a weird way

Here is a classic example of the red mentality. Remember, the whole point of EQ is PVE. They saw how UO was turning into a no-holds-barred brawl and their goal was to create a kind of massively multiplayer DND. Challenge was achieved by giving the NPCs much bigger numbers than the PCs, making all the good loot very timeconsuming to acquire, and by giving the playerbase as few hints as possible. Now, who says "I want to do all that PVE stuff AND still have to deal with gankers and PKs and all the UO PVP stuff" ? Someone who is very fucking serious about the game. Because if you are a casual player on a server like this you are the sheep.
So, when you combine a group of very hardcore players who all derive a great deal of satisfaction from winning at EQ with some ganks and a whole fuck ton of OOC trash talking and issues of the Red Faggot Gazette, and you get a server that is serious fucking business. Winning over there is a big deal; witness Stasis trying to sell his rogue after he lost in the first round of the BOTB. And, to quote Seinfeld, "Not that there's anything wrong with that!".
But now imagine you are one of those very hardcore red players who puts a lot of effort into winning on that server. And then you look over at blue, and you see that a) their population is 10x yours and b) they think your server is a shithole. This is like an assault on your core values. And thats why we see all these "come to red so I can shit on you you loser" posts.
