heres an example NOT to play on red.
as its basically a soloquest from 1 to 60, as a hybrid melee i died earlier and am unable to find a rez as the pop is so low. i cant even buy a port. thats the reality. lvl 46 - 20% xp loss roughly on a death, just have to eat it.

If you want to play Everquest as a single player game, roll Red. No one plays there...

I thought the "dead99" posts were exaggerations until I tried it for myself the other day. Made a halfling warrior and played for pretty much the whole day without seeing another soul.

OOC was also pretty much as bad as everyone says it is. I don't know how people can stand to see that garbage for any real length of time. It really does need to be policed or just removed, as whatever value it may have added was completely destroyed by trolling and epeening.

Rerolled on Blue and things are night and day population wise. Ended up making my way to ecommons and grabbing a bind and buffs from the tunnel crowd. There were more people at the tunnel on Blue than on the entire Red server.

So yeah, if anyone is looking to start playing I would, as a new player myself, recommend giving Blue a try. The lack of players on Red combined with the awful display the few players who are online broadcast in the OOC channel just make the server a major letdown. Blue players just seem nicer and, well, actually exist.

This is just ridiculous.

I laugh when people say Red is dead. Well if you played there, it wouldn't be. Making fun and just talking shit about it does it no help. Its actually more in depth than blue could ever be for obvious reasons. On blue, while EQ classic is awesome, is limited once you get all the best gear. Then what are you supposed to do? Your char becomes nothing more than a trophy of what you achieved. At least on Red, you can continue to play with that character with a purpose.

Also, there is a leveling guild, so I've usually been able to find people to group with. So if you played on Red, along with other people, it could grow into its potential.

The problem is the fully twinkled griefers camped in every decent exp spot.

I got on last week, joined w/ Uprising, had a little 4-person group in MM graveyard.

Trained by DE SK w/ a CoS, trained again by same SK. Try to run to zone to avoid a third train, attacked by epic rogue Nihilum alt.

Corpse camped and screamed at for being an "Azrael alt"

Group logs off and I'm back to soloing on my cleric... Like I did for the first 31 levels


I want to play on red, but have horrible gear, no pvp friends, and soloing on a nearly-empty server becomes tiring...

If you don't want to be harassed you shouldn't go to hot spot areas like unrest, MM etc. It's like going to EC on blue and expecting to not be spammed with /auction.

It's a hot spot because the exp is good.

But, server pop is bad because no bonus exp?

Hmmmm.......

So play on red, but stay away from the interesting zones that actually give good exp and instead slowly solo in Swamp of no Players or Lake Rathe?

Harassed, lol. Red99 highlevels club their own seals, then cry because nobody plays on their server.

and to top the shit off, you guys post screenshots of your killshots with insults in the chat window, and you think your toxic behaviour is actually reason to play on the server instead of staying far away from it.

and on top of all that, you talk about "max level max geared" characters that serve no purpose on blue. That's some hardcore neckbearding.
