The problem is you start thinking, hmm, most of the stats on blue are basically worthless. A bunch of stats have no value on blue, and same thing with alot of gear. All you do on blue is auto attack trivial content. All of the kunark and velious raids were cleared on day 1. So you are now level 60, and you're raiding, and you realize half the items and stats dont matter, and theres nothing to do with the gear you do get. The guild you're in isn't going to actually need the items to progress, most guilds could do any of the content if they had the chance.

so on red, atleast you get to use the items you spent hours grinding for. playing with 100 people on a pvp server is still infinitely more fun than blue, imo

This would be true if EQ pvp wasn't so bad. You ever see two melees fighting? It looks like two moths banging into a lightbulb. The combat meta is so cancerous and unenjoyable. The game was not built for pvp and it shows.

who cares if its not built for pvp, eq isnt balanced, or fair, isn't that what u like about it?

tonight u will stare at a wall for 16 hours and possibly send in a petition or two

i will login with 40 of my guildmates, run to TOV, fight another guild of 40 players, and whoever wins will kill dragons while the other logs off and does somethin else with their lives

this is great!

More like this:

Blue Server:
*Stares at a wall for 16 hours with other people"

Red Server:
*Stares at a wall for 16 hours"

Most of the people that post with such strong opposition to red are the ones that tried it, leveled to 15 (which takes 2-4 hours for a new player) in a popular PvP zone and got killed, then logged off forever because nobody would hand them gear or money or hold their hand.

You do have to have somewhat of a brain to survive red I will add.

A brain? No.

You just need Hide.

I disagree. It's a personal preference ofc, but I found EQ PVP fun back in the day.

Also the argument that "EQ PVP is so imbalanced" is a hollow reason for not playing EQ PVP. I have never played one MMO where everyone agreed that it was "balanced."

I would say in the end, Warhammer Online was closest to being balanced but by then everyone quit playing it and it died due to such a long time for them to get their game together.

The reason the majority of players who would consider RED here do not is due to population lacking, not because of balance issues or lack of fun.

Warhammer online was the bomb. Sigh.

How about 'I tried EQ PvP and I thought it sucked'. Is that a valid reason?

For some reason it annoys me when people proclaim a personal opinion as if it's a fact, especially when they wholeheartedly believe it. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
