A Hardcore Bluebie's Opinion of Red

[Nordenwatch]

I played blue p99 for 4 years. In that time I never even considered playing red because the notion of EQ pvp seemed incredibly stupid.

I told myself I would never roll an untwinked character again. Every new character I made on blue was geared out with the best gear in the game. Early levels were a breeze.

Now circumstances have allowed me to roll on a new server with nothing on red, and I am loving every minute of it. EQ PvP is not just the griefing douchebags I thought it would be. 98% of people I've met have been incredibly decent. The community, while at first glance seems terrible, is knit with a bond that will never exist on blue. The fact that you can kill anyone within your range makes you choose your allies carefully.

The fact that I'm having more fun now with nothing on red than I did in years of playing blue with everything should be an indicator to those who bother to read this post, tiring of the same dicks on blue monopolizing the same content, that red is thriving.

Nothing will ever be the same again.
