Red if you like to have entire continents to yourself. Yesterday I walked from grobb to neriak, every zone in between was empty. It was freaky and kind of sad.

I know what you mean. I rolled a druid on Red. I got near 30 and it was always like that.

The paladin I rolled. Hahaha. *SNGGT* BWAH HA HA AHHA!

I had no problem finding groups (very often instantly) when I wanted them. Go where the people are and more importantly communicate ^^ Playtime will affect your experience as well. If it is not US prime time then the population is much thinner.

Playing Red or Blue, I imagine, is like the difference of vacationing in Detroit or Time's Square.

What's the difference? Both gross. 8(

One of the things I have liked about playing a tank on blue is being able to find a group literally anywhere - not just where people normally congregate. For example, I traveled twice to Permafrost when I was in the level range, and both times was able to make a group out of whatever people were wandering around. I didn't even have to do anything; people would just send me tells and ask if I wanted a partner or were lfm.

You can of course also find a group in the usual areas easily, but I do like the feeling on blue that there are people on the server, wherever you go. You can travel with a purpose.

But really...

ITT:
1) blue people saying blue

2) red players saying red

This is pretty bang on, so whatever =D

If you like pvp, Blue doesn't have any, so go Red. Otherwise Blue, I'd say. I don't know why you'd go Red if pvp wasn't a draw for you. I personally don't like eq pvp; it's not well balanced imo.

Id say the answer to that might be because of this: http://www.project1999.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=215861

Not relevant. If I don't like pvp I'm not going to use it to resolve disputes.

what im just making a joke about is you might want to avoid a server where yo uhave to have GM's weigh in on what is or isnt a camp becuse it is so over crowded and people are such dicks that they wont share with you.

what im saying is you WONT have to pvp on red becuse there ARE plenty of camps open for you.

not rellevant

wtf u think ur spock?

god damn robots that play this game.

I'm sure you occasionally have camp disputes and resolve them via pvp. I have in fact seen many red players say exactly this and cite it as a draw. Perhaps this has never happened to you?

Anyway, I find the argument "there isn't any pvp on the pvp server, really, so yeah go red" to be somewhat less than compelling just to avoid camp disputes. YMMV.

if you want classic EQ like how you remember it - Blue

if you want a weird permutation of EQ - Red
