Faerie you are a paradox. You are the main reason I would want to go red, but you are also the main reason I want to stay the hell away from red. I see you valiantly fighting corruption with kindness, making your way to the top and treating everyone equally and I think that looks like fun. Then I see like four posts of you being camped the fuck out and downleveling 3 times a day, and I think yeah fucking right. I tried red once a few weeks ago. Tried it with three different classes and starting points. Got griefed out on all three within the second day. If blue dies in a fire tonight, I'll quit EQ before I go red.

Maybe we're all masochists on red, but the possibility of massive grief like that really deepens the meaning of e-relationships you have with other players. This is the main reason I like pvp, I think. Who you are, whom you associate with; these things matter on red. It's easy to keep a friend on blue, but are you really willing to fight for them, if it could cost you loot or other friends?

Without pvp, the community aspect of the game is really lacking .
