RED OR BLUE (New Player)

[JboxCSU]

I've played both, red>blue, and I'm not interested in pvp (yet).

The people on red who comment about the griefing is accurate. The people who don't play red generally have exaggerated stories on how bad it is.

There are some people who get jollies by heading to crushbone/unrest/MM and dominating new players with there far superior gear. You can either expect it and level there, or go somewhere else with your stalwart group of adventurers and kill stuff in peace. Outside of those 3 zones, I've never been griefed.

The griefing thing is true but I'm in my 50's and it has not been a major element of my red experience, despite camping all those zones. It really just doesn't measure up to a large portion.

True. Even when I decide to level in MM, for instance, there are plenty of times my group is left alone or the griefers main is off raiding somewhere. It really isn't that bad.

But, if that sort of thing would really bother you, then maybe red isn't for you...just letting you know what you're getting into!

Yeah, if you are super risk-averse Red is not the place for you. If you are someone who rages (and you aren't going to suffer through until you are geared enough to take your rage out on noobs) then red isn't for you.
