you have the ability to literally take ANY camp that you want, at ANY time. Pretty great right?

Got a good laugh about this part... yes and at ANY time anyone can just come right in with their better gear and take ANY camp from you! Sounds like so much fun!

Stopped reading... it's just your bullshit utopian view of eq pvp to try and recruit. There is a reason the server has so little population.

Like I said in OP, I started with nothing. With a couple pals I was able to farm whatever I wanted. Got pushed out a few times, sure but more often than not we were taking what we wanted.

See but I see that from the other side.. then you were taking from some other poor soul that was just trying to have a good time.

That said, nice post. First well thought out intelligent 'try red' post I've seen... but the unbalanced eq pvp scene just isn't for most people. Your solution to it's problems are 'travel with a group'...

I understand where you are coming for because that is how I viewed red... Until I tried it. The number or obstacle for blue players will be adopting the mindset needed to have fun on a pvp server. Even many players on red struggle with it. The key is to not be a poor sport. Someone pushes you out of a camp? Get better. They are higher level? Level up. They have better gear? Get better gear. They brought friends? Bring some friends. There is always a solution. Like pve those solutions require time investment. Unlike pve you can't cry to an authority or attempt to lawyer your way out of defeat. You lost? Accept it and resolve to do better ^^ Ask the person who defeated you for pointers. Invite them to your group. Have fun.

There are jackasses for sure, but I would say in no greater proportion (and likely lower) than on blue.

So you basically said "git guud"

It still doesn't answer my question of what happens when you cap out and Empire is the barrier? Is "get better" still applicable? That's going to be the mindset of people coming from blue. If anything this is an advertisement for Empire life. High end uncontested raiding on a friendly schedule with PvP in your spare time wearing best in slot gear. That's the allure of red. Troubledour told me so.

It seems 5 years of Kunark has done more damage to red than blue.

Same thing that happens on blue when you cap out but rampage or forsaken is the barrier. Keep playing casually or contest. Plus, I imagine it would be pretty satisfying sinking an axe into Hokushin, Detoxx, or Chest instead of petitioning your next dispute.

Next time you're typing up an essay about dragons, think back to this post

Well "have fun" is the ethos of success on red, though if your fun is hampered by being pk'd the , yes "git guud" is the mantra. That doesn't differ markedly from Blue.

NToV/ST gear does have an impact on pvp, but it's not an I win button. Clickies in general have more impact.

Ew gross I never mentioned anything about pvp.
