Red: My Experience~

[Cylock]

Facts about Red99:

Red99 is much better than it was a year ago and only a few things have changed.

Global OOC is vigorously enforced. If you say something dumb that is against the rules your ability to login could pay the price.

As for the other thing, I added some rules from this thread to stop the constant griefing some players called "PvP".

As for the last thing, well I can't talk about player suspensions and bans openly so I will let you read between the lines.

Red99 does have PvP, and also has the occasional twinked griefer to log on and attempt to kill you in high traffic zones (MM, CoM). But its very rare these days.

In closing I will say, most of the negative stuff you see posted on these forums these days about red99 are players that don't even play anymore. These players post garble and other things because they don't want you to login and give red99 a try. This is because they are hoping the population will get down low enough where the staff will wipe the server and start red99 over. This will never happen. So basically you can believe a staff member or you can believe the server trolls wanting a wipe.

There were groups in MM pretty consistently during the evenings last week, I bet the same happens this week.

Give Red a try, what's the worst that can happen, you lose a couple of hours of your life to a video game you're already playing? Who knows you might even make a new set of friends to go on adventures with, or enemies you love to hate.

Praise it!

(Although a wipe would be like so gotdamn fun)

Terrible hypothetical. Regardless of what religion people are, you can't argue that the soapbox preaching is a terrible failure. It worked for Jesus, Mohamed, Moses, Buddha, Joseph Smith, and Richard Dawkins. Their preaching awarded them literal portions of the planet. What was just crazy babbling became ways of life for millions and billions of people.

You're literally no different than a religious man showing up to a Dawkin's atheist rally to discredit his preaching, and vice versa.

You can even replace religion with politics for your hypothetical.

Why not respect other people's opinion and I don't know, PLAY EVERQUEST!?

Actually, its a great hypothetical you crazy red fanatic. Also, I didn't say that soapbox preaching occasionally doesn't work. You picked the few moments where it does, but for every 1 successful preacher there are 1,000,000 that are just annoying, much like yourself. So why dont you keep the red preaching in your own chat.

Also, why don't you come up with something more original rather than stealing from my hypotheticals.

I hope they do shut down Red99 soon... but not for the reason you may expect... I just want them to bring Cylock to blue. He works hard for red, hes the hero blue server needs.

Red is great for leveling. It is fast and there are ways to find people for groups. Red just sucks for long term. Raiding gets boring, there is no competition and the server rules favor zerging. There will never be a real second raiding guild and there is nothing at end game for people to do besides farm empty zones or log in and raid the same content every week. There is room for 1 second tier guild and they have to not even step foot in areas the number 1 guild is in. You can farm Kunark or crap Velious content.

TMO was successful on Blue. They went to red, got zerged and quit. There is nothing a competing guild can do to overthrow the number 1 guild and it isn't like blue where you can have several top guilds splitting top targets. The top guild can ruin your entire raid force and not allow them to loot their characters for a weekend if they want. The zerg guild has no consequence for throwing 40-60 crap members at a force of 20 people. Dieing means nothing, it is just a waste of time.

I actually wouldnt mind farming and making new alts... However, if you think the blue economy is stagnant right now you should see red server... good luck to anyone ever making deals over there.

There are much better single player games than red99
