People here for classic experience...?

[Swish]

Agree with most of that it has to be said. I still play both. I hate EC, chardok AOE, people locking down a camp in CoM solo/duo while everyone else has run out of mobs and is competing and getting mad trying to steal from others.

I leveled a wizard on red in starter robe til 35ish, and then an oracle robe to 51 with very little else... empty slots everywhere etc. Not saying that in itself is "classic" but the level of twinking on blue has trivialized the content for wherever you end up grouping.

The people who whine about the red XP rate probably have had a character PL'ed or Chardok AOE'd on blue, so I never see the argument there...and red pals need to stick together anyway and the XP bonus helps people interact [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Red isn't a terrible place, but funny isn't it how often people say "gear me and I'll play there"? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Get back to the roots of EQ, leveling with a rusty weapon or your starter robe. Just consider it when you're bored or thinking of making your 4th-10th blue alt. It's a new challenge [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
