Consider red.

The last toon I levelled on red I went all the way to 50 with no /role or /anon.

The only pvp I got was at level 7 (enchanter wouldn't share nek forest zombies with me so I took it by force)

That spawn of 3 near EC? Hell no, I wouldn't share 3 easy single pull mobs either [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Did you mention that if you grouped you'd both get more XP?

this in a common misconception.

You get a 40% bonus for playing on red, and then 50% more for each person in your party.

If you are solo, you are gaining 140% xp. If you are duo, you are gaining 190%xp/2, or 95% xp.

You still only gain more xp by grouping if you are able to kill 50% more mobs with their help.

if you are a pet class, at most levels you don't do more than 50% of the mobs damage if you are killing efficiently with pet, (pet steals half xp in this situation) so grouping (at least a duo) is actually a net gain for them

To starting players in rags this is usually the case

I've never had a group member kill me and I only do pick up groups.

Other than the occassionaly pvp twink in mistmoore or unrest, almost everyone just wants to fill a group slot and level their characters until near 60. Then you will finally see some PvP happen.

I even run non-anon almost 100% of the time. Not much pvp.

I lent a guy some monk weapons ages back (he went on to play a SK called Charlatan if anyone knew him on red)... he was playing an iksar monk and went into Kurns.

About an hour later he said he was done, and quitting, and could I log my monk in so he could hand me the stuff back.

What happened? He got pvp'd "unfairly" and raged and quit for a few weeks.

First rule if pvp does happen, is not to take it personally and do your best to either put up a good fight or deny them the kill <3
