Dumpster Fire (RED99)

[Spyder73]

I have seen an increase in sh!tposts from Red players recently. I would just like to start a conversation about why red is a dumpster fire.

From my experience and from my investigation into R99 - Here is what I know. Please feel free to add any details on why Red is a pit of dog sh!t. lets keep this thread on topic, no Red sh!tlord apologists. Only interested in hearing the bad, not the good. There are plenty of posts on why Red is "good".

Player griefing is the only reason 95% of the server logs in anymore

The entire forum campaign of "Consider Red" is nothing more than a campaign to get people to login Red so that the current players can tell them they are terrible and grief them away.

Out of range monks training you with mobs while you are “PVPing”

Out of range players continually opening trade with you to distract you while “PVPing”

<Empire> players using buff bots to effectively give them advantage over others at all times

Players will relentlessly hunt you down if they catch wind of you camping camp *ANYTHING* at level 56+… Most times will not even take your camp, just grief you away from it.

“PVP” generally consists of highly geared players running away from you and throwing sh!t at you waiting for their “joust” cooldown on an extremely high damage high delay weapon

Leveling is terrible – Deleveled characters in top end gear in zones like Crushbone, MM, KC, and CoM are an everyday thing.

Red forumquesters are among the worst on the boards

This all sounds true and factual to me. Good post OP.

Chest in agreeing with himself. Great thread so far.

if you take OP's entire post, and make the following replacements:

"red" --> "blue"
"PVPing" --> "raiding"
"grief" --> "poopsock"

then you have a pretty accurate assessment of the blue server, as well

do you really think this? this is RnF so I always have to check for trolling

OP is really exxagerating with 95%

most people just play the game on red, a small and visible minority of people have twinks. like 10 out of 200

I added Asterisks to each one I will now address for you.

1)People also log in to raid because there is no high end raids cene like on blue. Its not about who can exploit or click the fastest to get the target first.

2) Out of range monks training the response is the same as on blue fraps and petition. No different from someone 'accidently' training you on blue to take your mob.

3)if you don't know how to fix this by now you probably shouldn't be playing the game anyway. There is a secret to fixing that no matter which server you play on and hint it is the same for both Blue and Red.

4)seriously out of everyone here posting trolling and crying you post a new thread everyday crying over your surname which no one including the GMs cares about but you. It physically hurts to see the way you butcher some decent songs just to plead and beg for your surname back which they have said you cannot have more than once.


If Red is a cesspool or pit then you should jump right in both feet first you will fit right in. Maybe the GMs will let you have your surname on Red.

thx OP, your presence on blue is a great pro red argument

A+ effort, keep it up

I'm still donating minor trinkets and starter money to any euro players that want to give r99 a shot. There have been some changes in the raiding field which have benefited newer guilds, and it seems likely more are to follow.
