I've seen quite a few new players on red from blue. Very happy to see this. I'd like to thank The Knights Who Say Ni for taking the plunge and making a transitional guild for players like themselves. Probably Jeremy too, he's been on red a lot as well.

It's not the horror story you may have heard about, though it can be. It's not for everyone but as someone who started here on blue and eventually tried red and played long enough to become invested, I highly recommend it.

It's not for life, you don't really need to be high level to have fun. Lots of low level pvp, some grief, but mainly fun. There is just something about playing against both the players and the environment that dramatically increases the immersion.

Your first few weeks, you might even lash out at the people you care about, but if you stick with it, I can almost guarantee you will have some fun [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If you're one of these people feel free to encourage others to come play by posting about your adventures on red in this thread.

I know some of you have had bad experiences on red, those can and do happen, but if we could focus on the positive, even if for only one thread, I think it might help the guys on the other side of the table who also passionately play this game, we're kinda hurtin atm [You must be logged in to view images.

Hope to see you there!

Food for thought: 10-20 more players even if casual could really help red and also give the mobs here a chance to pop.

Worth mentioning that a lot of the bad apples have been banned since the server launched...and everyone knows that the launch night was always bound to cause some people to never log back in [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Knights of Ni have told me themselves that they're enjoying themselves but aren't too familiar with the PvP mechanics, but are learning...so if you feel you're in the same category and have never tried EQ PvP before, then now is a good time to join in the fun [You must be logged in to view images.

I've got a bunch of people started on the server before now with red/blue plat transfers (which have since been frowned on by GMs), and have recently made up some JC stuff for new starters as I know from levelling a naked enchanter that the first 12-16 levels were totally hellish without any stat items [You must be logged in to view images.

If you're bored with sitting in the EC tunnel watching blue prices inflate, give red a try. You can at least try, right? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

We should just sticky a thread that says "Come play red with us! We promise we'll only kill you a moderate amount!"

If you come into red with the right expectations it can be really fun.

[Lowlife]

red is a great time even for lowbies

If I wasn't so invested on blue.. I like the red community a whole lot more.

[Yumyums Inmahtumtums]

Was thinking of making a red character. I assume melee in general as well as burst dps classes are over-represented with regards to server class make up. Any suggestions on a good class to roll? I've never really been big on pvp but I like the comraderie that comes with it. Yt aint no thang really.

Enc or Cleric would be good, if you want to be one of the bursters, wiz. Anything really, even melee can make if if you have some support. MOTD in Knigts who say Ni! is to expect more players on the 8th. Ya might try to jump in with them around then. If Erudite Necro/sk, I have some extra flayed skin gear sitting in bank you could have.

With eqmac shutting down on the 18th there might even be a few more players joining around that time also.

+1! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] the camaraderie that comes from playing on red is what keeps me coming back for more.
