Anyway im gonna go play some real PvP in one of the other 15,000 MMOs that do it better than EQ.

The ultimate counter to 'consider red'.

why is that?

By the time u can handle those mobs, it's solo or duo material. Taking a full group up there wouldn't be very good exp conpared. Then again there's the full bonus on red.

My red cleric has about 60 less wisdom than my blue cleric.

My blue SK has full planar gear and an atra shield/ebon mace - the tank had a fungi but not much else for gear.

The bard had no lambent or singing steel gear.

...and that trend runs through the party, and on red leveling characters generally. Items are much more scarce on red.

That makes red a more authentic "first character" leveling experience for most people. Enjoy your comfy tunnel and twinked level 1s. I find red is quite refreshing in that sense...most people leveling aren't heavily twinked.

That pasted response has nothing to do with what I said. My enchanter wasnt/isn't twinked and I solod those areas at 52. A melee and cleric could duo it even in sub par gear.

Tell a lie, its 85 difference....

Beginning to get the picture?

So transfer that kind of difference across everyone you're grouped with. 6 people turn up.

Sorry... you don't get the luxury of an enchanter just being there on red, you work with who else is there, but hey there's an XP bonus which definitely makes up for it.

Who fares better in a pvp situation? A cleric/enchanter duo (dispel charm etc, laugh)? Or a sturdy group of 6? Step out of your confined space for a minute and think, there's pvp to deal with.

I'd go as far to say on blue that you'd have left some of my group LFG'ing for an hour.

still up or down?

Go ahead and take your duo up there so I can kill both of you.

Strategy is different on red, and you have to learn to play vastly differently.

Yea, its true... EQ is just more fun when your group is comprised of people that literetly, desperatly could use every item that drops in any XP camp you are doing anywhere in norrath.

Nothing like taking on tranix with a tank wearing bronze.

Red. Its where classic eq is classic

Re99 will be great fun though!!!!
