You will find real friends if you aren't too dumb.

The reason red is better is because you don't HAVE to wait in line, so those guys doing camps are more friendly. These days most camps are open, but still.

I would suggest a duo like a shaman and an SK ogre which are both good classes in their own right but make a decent duo.

Or whatever you feel like actually. If you play as a duo almost anything can work.

Even I have friends on red.

You don't know me and you shouldn't. But Even I do. I say this to totally back up gustoos assertion here.

Red is pretty special in them thars ways.

There are like 30 different people playing on red, each has a bunch of toons. Over time, even though everyone is /anon, you just end up learning who is who, which ones are OOR to you, and what to expect from them. Like, if you're solo leveling a twink in, say, Mistmoore, and you see a known noob-hunter popping in, deleveled and equiped with VP / Velious gear and whatnot, you can safely go ahead and camp or zone, you will not kill him. There, you avoided PvP that you had no shot at winning.

Also wherever you are, as long as you always keep in mind your plan of action in case PvP happens next second, you're mostly OK.

My take: not opposed to your take: There's at least a 300 unique players and a 1/3rd ish of them play at any given time or have played in the past, its a pretty big and diverse community. More bluebies will come back once they break their pixel addictions and eventually that number will rise.

Especially if velious is red 1.0 and Kunark red.20 and pixels aren't the end game again.

It kinda blows my mind that there isn't a 6 man hit squad of streamers killing twinks in places like CB and unrest for the epic lulz and ad revenue with walmart gear.

U want to dominate red, just roll with a friendly enchanter, and 'cruit a sham, play a wiz or mage gg

not everyone has good gear, i have trash pre-planar classic gear on all my toons, i'm easy to kill, i just don't play 24/7 like the velious twinkies

you can still usually find a person leveling a bard pretty naked and just root them for some fun times
