A true look at joining Red as a new player.

[Jsteed]

-I'm about three weeks into playing red- forgive me if any of this information about your guilds are wrong- this is just based off my experiences as I have been leveling.

The main thing I have noticed about this server is there are no anti pk guilds. its more of a wow style horde(empire) v alliance(most other guilds). which would be fine and all, but the problem is the alliance guilds aren't even the good guys. If you are not tagged by either of these factions both will attack you. So its really a mess for a new player.

going where your best chance to find a group is will lead you to a bored fungi/epic rogue twink or sk. This is more based on the server being stuck in Kunark for so long that people get bored- it is also a product of the no anti pk guilds.

When grouping with other new players like myself its a blast, monks wearing full cloth using their fist, pally in full bronze. the exp bonus makes the server very easy to make friends to level up with.

Something needs to be done about the global /ooc, its just consistently spammed with "look at me talk" from people wanting to be noticed. With the low population and everyone /anon its a must to keep on for a new player to find groups tho otherwise I would just turn it off.

The best thing to me about the red server is ironically is the pve, exp bonus/camps always open is a great way to meet people leveling up. When I did encounter pvp vs non twinked to hell players it was a blast, sadly these are far and few between.

If you are thinking about joining this server, apply to a major guild early. If your trying to lone wolf it into your 50s. be close to your bind spot because your kos to 99% of the server.
