TMO, Bluebies who tried Red! Give me your horror stories of grief and despair

[Archalen]

When I joined red, this notion that there were superior PVPers there was unproven. As a simple blueblie, I transferred about 3k there, made an SK, and had a roughly 8:1 KD ratio. I would have killed a Tstaff monk with my shitty Green Jade Halberd if he wouldn't have plugged.

There are a handful of extremely talented PVPers there, and the rest are garbage who only win through huge gear advantage and/or a numbers advantage.

It's a pick your poison scenario between red and blue. I give blue the edge slightly because of more normal people.

Best bet for a good time of red is to go over, talk to empire and express interest in joining them once leveled, get help from them, join them and raid, get ur bis, then join one of the smaller guilds to pvp with

Do people really do this? I might make an anonymous poll.

PRAS is a cultural element of red99, all of those people know each other and are simply sharing a joke. Think of it as a ongoing group conversation you chose to not be part of instead opting to complain about it on 27 year old elfsim forums in a thinly veiled attempt at making yourself seem better than others. Pathetic.

^ pras to box, good shit

yes. many flowers would do it back before dayze died and chewie got banned. I'm confident that many CS/Friends did the same thing but i could be wrong.

I tried red. I actually liked it for a little while. I liked the thrill of having to watch my back all the time and it added a new social dynamic to the already great social game EQ has to offer. What eventually turned me away though honestly was the toxic community. So much racism, ignorance, hatefulness, bashing and trolling. I mean, being competitive is one thing but being a straight up douchebag all the time and by the great majority of people I ran into quickly turned me off from the server.

I couldn't even auction an item off without someone trying to rip into me about something. It honestly (and I'm not saying this to try to be mean, really being honest here) reminded me of middle school. A bunch of people just yelling obscenities at one another as if they just learned how to swear and talk shit.

Eventually I just got tired of hearing/reading/dealing with it. It wasn't even the pvp just the people there. Pvp must just attract some trashy individuals.

i like how no one disputes this post.

or because red is a toxic piece of shit even worse than blue (altho its hard to believe thats actually possible)

On Phinny, the biggest drama we have had was last night when someone yelled at someone else for eating in mumble during sky raid. its just a nice place to play.

Nah, most people go join empire and stay with them, then just join saying there isn't enough competition or pvp. Not knocking them as I did the same thing with nihilum. I left blue and followed a blue pal to nihilum, made more friends once in the guild and became attached, I was part of the no competition problem in that era, most blue players that go over only do it for the easy path to raiding and getting best in slot, some of them end up getting into pvp and being pretty good. I ended up enjoying pvp a lot more than I thought I would but had a hard time staying interested after nihilum got disbanded as many of my friends never came back, the ones that stayed mostly joined empire and I didn't want to since they were responsible for getting nizzar banned and breaking up nihilum.

Are you a drug dealer in real life and/or been to prison? If yes, join Red. You will like it. You'll understand it.


Otherwise don't.




Drug addicts and alcoholics are welcome as well.
