When asking for a port

[Hetjan]

I logged into red yesterday.

I learned that OOC is system messages.
I learned that it was really lonely even with OOC system messages (mostly WTB requests).
I learned that announcing you are new to red doesn't inspire the auto help people frequently claim exists on blue forums (at least not consistently) as nobody welcomed me with as much as a tell (or any free gear / PL'ing).
I re-learned that EQ is hard.

I have enjoyed PvP servers in the past, will give it another try sometime.

BTW: I'm not saying I deserved free gear or help, I have noticed a trend of folks saying how welcoming the red community is and I didn't experience that. All this said, there were only about 85-90 people online at the time (around 4PM PST Sunday).

Put this in this thread because so many hijacks to advertise red on blue forums. It's just my personal opinions none of this make the overall situation this or that.
