Legit Reasons to why you don't play Red99 (This is not a RNF Topic)

[maahes]

In order for PvP to work in a game PvP needs to be considered from the first moment the classes are being designed. When the classes are being balanced, PvP must be weighted in from the very start. In EQ's case the trio were playing UO and all felt that PvP should not be part of EQ. They absolutely hated the PvP mechanics of UO. (which I LOVED).

No desire to play against other players in EQ, too stressful, I already have enough stress outside of gaming.

added something.

+ borderline retarded people playing
+ lack of time

I considered playing Red99 but then I realized I'm neither racist nor homophobic, I read and write English fluently, have a triple-digit IQ and I don't live with my parents. It just seemed like I wouldn't fit in.

Honestly that's not a flame. I just got the impression from reading the "community's" posts over the past year or so that they were not my kind of folks.

The reality of the server vs the reality of the forum is really different. The majority of people you meet on red are decent folks. Don't let the forum trolls make the decision for you.

1. I don't like PVP in general.
2. I particularly don't like PVP in EQ.
3. I don't like the kind of community that a PVP server engenders.

Its the maturity of the server. Not the population, or the 'barrens chat' style that some people say are there. Its the overall maturity of everything, the high levels, the groups, etc etc. Its hard for me to dedicate the time into a server when I can't be 100% sure there is a solid end game for me.

i was VERY excited to play on red when it was announced, even did the beta for weeks. sadly the population is just disgusting, everyone i met usually went out of their way to try to screw people over 90% of the time. with EQ being such a socially dependent game, i just couldnt hang.

The type of person to play a pvp server is usually a bit more of a dickhead then the rest, but the people who play a pvp server to a 10+ year old game are the cream of the dickhead crop.

or you could realize that this is just a game and the world isn't going to end just because some "dickhead" beats you in pvp.
