Real talk , I'm still not even opposed to playing red. I still think it'd be cool if I was still interested in this game. But when the server pop is like 22 ppl it just feels kinda disingenuous to say stuff like "camps are always open" and "xp is so much faster!" Because while those things are true, if no one is playing then why wouldn't I just go play retail eq , atleast there I can play completely alone but have a merc help me out

Need a big time red player to give me the hook up of a lifetime

Retail EQ is garbage so that's why. There were 50 online last night when I looked at the front page. But yeah it sucks to solo as a melee without gear.

Should play a caster and solo while trying to get a group for your Warrior. Constantly message anyone that's online on Red to group up whenever you're playing, along with using the global /ooc chat to form, and keep asking around for others to join the server. It takes some effort but yeah, if I wanted to play p99, Red is the best server. No point wasting time with Green/Blue, when they are far from what Classic EQ is supposed to be and involve a lot of top-heavy crowding. At least with Red there is far less time waste happening, and a level of dynamic gameplay that helps to make the game feel more alive (being aware of your surroundings, since it's possible someone can unexpectedly attack).
