Is it worth a shot?

umm...if you want to ask politely if you can camp a mob or wait in a line to camp one then GO Blue

If you want the excitement of hunting and being hunted....always looking over your back and one day pvping with mass amounts of people over a dragon GO red! Also faster XP on RED

This is kinda what made me think of red over blue to be honest. I was hopping around the forums trying to get a feel for this server and saw a screenshot of something like 250 people sitting on a spawn on the blue server. The same post had a video of roughly the same thing happening on the red server but with corpses everywhere.

Started playin EQ back in 2000-2001 but almost always played on a blue server. The one time I tried a PVP server was Rallos Zek I think. I just remember getting to around level 10 before I went back to my old server.

How crowded is the server? I realize of course that this is a PVP server but is it a fight for basically any decent xp spot while leveling?

If I decide to give it a shot I'll probably play a Shaman, it was my favorite class back in the day. Fairly easy to get groups or am I going to be soloing most of the time?

I'm bored as fuck with every other game out there right now besides maybe some Hearthstone every now and then. Basically the real question is - would this server be a decent fit for someone who's completely new to PVP and doesn't have 40+ hours a week to devote to the game?

shut up

Better off on blue; red is dead. Only bottom of the barrel players on red for most part.

Completely untrue

you could always join empire if you just grind out the levels and aren't looking to pvp

Level 5 so far. Seems like there's a lot more genuine hatred for each other than friendly rivalries, but I guess that come's with the territory. Really like the global OOC and the serverwide kill announcements tho. The exp bonus is nice too, seems a lot faster than the Everquest I remember.

That's the blue raid scene all over now, everyone just parks characters strategically and waits for something to happen while leveling/plat farming on their 4th/5th alt. If Trak is in window you'll see mages duck canceling Call of the Hero... that's what it's become and what is encouraged.

Red however, a brave new world... that authentic "day 1 naked" experience. Meet new people, group up, enjoy the journey.

Don't listen to this rmt scum. Red is where it's at. Blue is for morans who like to set rules on what date so and so can kill so and so mob, followed by mass petitions and a lot of butthurt. Come to red, spill blood and have a blast~

Community on red is much better

This server has much more life for being nearly 1/4th the population
