Default How do you do it pals?

play eq with no pvp option

Not being able to kill sockers and people who grief must be extremely frustrating

well, I log in, then check chat channels if anyone needs a port or help with CR. If not, I usually goof around for the limited time to actually get to play. How about u?

Having a pvp option only helps when you can kill the person in your way. So outside of being over geared or playing a handful of classes, YOU will be the one getting killed and removed from YOUR camp and not the other way around.

Playing in Blue is like living in the Real World. You don't kill people that cut you off on the road, jump in front of you in line, don't shoot the person that takes the last Energy Drink you like in front of you at the gas station!!

It is sort of how we live our normal lives. There are nice people and some Asshats.

Now when you play Red most people think they are Ted Bundy and want to kill and eat everyone. Well sorry, that is NOT the real world. It's a made up world where you get to live out your twisted, made up, I want to kill anything that walks dreams. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So yeah most of us are normal here on Blue, and really don't want anything to do with Red. So go back to your wet dreams. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This is laughable my friend lol (this is not a flame)

Red would see an exponential increase in population if it managed to even hit 500-600 average population. The population is still just too low to attract people. The low population has more to do with the timing of the launch of P99 Red and less to do with the fact that people "don't like PvP"

While leveling on Red you won't even see PvP for a long time due to the low population. A lot of the social aspects of the game are lost not because its PvP but simply because there is a lack of people with whom to interact.

I also believe the whole "Bluebie" argument is perfectly valid. The fact of the matter is that most of the players who play Blue really aren't great at EQ and really don't give a shit. The definition of "hardcore" on Blue is not being an excellent player and challenging yourself. "Hardcore" on Blue is poopsocking for 12 hours at a time (which requires 0 skill, just time) or leveling your 5th alt at Chardok (0 skill, way too much time and non-playing of EQ) and a great deal of the players are wannabes who came from other more recent MMOs. These players have no interest in adding another dimension of challenge and depth to the game, they just want their "nanna-nanna-boo-boo" cash camp rule lawyering and Forumquest. TL-DR : nubs

I have seen a deeply disturbing amount of sociopathic behavior in my years on this server. Blue players are -no better- than Red players. That claim is absolutely ludicrous. I'd say they're worse because they want to lay claim to their pixels they will create and abide by self-imposed and negotiated rules that have nothing to do with the actual mechanics of the game im order to rule lawyer their way out of everything. They do this for ----years----- instead of going over to Red where they just don't have to deal with that bullshit at all.

This is by no stretch of the imagination "normal" behavior, let's get real.

/shrug, just as in the real world, u can bump into just about anyone @ anytime. good or bad... awesome or asshat.... they're all still just human beings wanting to play the same game (but in their own way).
I logged in a character today, gave away everything on it and deleted the character. Did I make that persons day? It seemed like it by their reaction. I then made a lvl 1 halfling warrior and some nice person from Omni buffed me up and I had fun. So a "one hand washes the other" kinda theory, I guess.

I don't play a Paladin, so I don't think I can add anything to this discussion.
