This was in ooc. Not sure I have ever seen someone call somebody a faggot in ooc on blue yet it's common on red.

I have. Many times over the years.

You might as well relabel this section of the forums to "general chat" or some shit since you clearly dont care about keeping blue and red server chat sections separate.

You could just stop clicking on threads labeled "Blah blah RED blah blah" since it bothers you so much. No one is forcing you to read these. You choose to open them, knowing that you don't want to, read them, and then complain about reading them.

Also, I believe this forum section is called... "General Community". So there's that.

It's not that common on Red either, because people get suspended for it. Sometimes someone gets upset and loses their shit, and they get punished for it. This is the misconception we are trying to change.

It happens on blue all the time as well. Believe me when I say asshole's are not exclusive to the Red server.

Just seeing them shit up the front page of server chat is what annoys me personally, not strictly the contents within the threads themselves. Im annoyed by constant red recruitment threads just as much as id be annoyed by jehovah's witnesses/mormon missionaries at my door or telemarketer phone calls. Sure I don't HAVE to talk to them and listen to what they have to say but for someone to be ridiculed for being annoyed by them is dumb.

Ive heard this excuse before and its a pretty ridiculous one. The sections specifically for blue server guilds, raid scene, trading, etc. are all also listed under "General Community"

You see, this isn't the "blue forum" they have no forum of their own, or need. Shits a cake walk. If you hail from Blue leave terms like "our forum" out of this discussion please, as they have no basis in reality to draw legitimate conclusions from.

Really? I though that Red was caged into their own subsection of the forums so that they can't even get help with technical problems or ask about raid policies. Those are in "our" section too. So too bad Red players. See you in hell.

No one is forcing you guys to click on these threads. People make it sound like we're requiring you to click an ad for red99 in order to play. When I see a thread I'm not interested in on the forums, I just don't click on it. If you're not interested in Red, and it's obviously a Red thread, don't click. I'm starting to think people only make these negative posts because they like having something to fight about. Have you considered trying Red to help work that out?

For a lot of other people, these red threads help them find the server, and they have a lot of fun there. Over the last couple years I've spoken with countless people who never would have tried the server if it wasn't for one of these threads, so I'm not going to take them away - particularly when they are clearly labeled and so easy to avoid. It's not like the title is "Trakanon ninja looted by scumbag" and then a Red promotion is found inside instead.



Have you tried within the last week or two? There has been ~200 people on every night this week and plenty of people to group with. The chances of you getting brute forced out of a camp prior to level 56 now are pretty slim because of the new level range and the blue PnP applying to out of range situations. That being said, for some people, Red just isn't for them. My hope is that everyone gives it a shot with these new changes being in regardless of how they have felt about the server in the past.

TL;DR: Try red, not because the red community wants you to, but because the devs and the CSR team that provide you with such a great Everquest experience want you to give it a shot!

I have to take issue with this post. All of the posts about red recruitment on blue forums amounts to little more than spam after the original promotional post regarding new changes to the server. Do I have to click on the thread? No, but I also don't open spam mail either. I still don't enjoy seeing it pop up every day. If you are concerned about new players being able to "find the server", keep it to the starter forum, and move it to its own section, off the blue forums.

I appreciate what you and a lot of the red community are trying to do, I think its awesome and I hope lasting positive change happens on red. I just think the constant reposts of the same idea is wearing thinner than asking what race is best for a newbie shaman.

I would hope you knew me a little better than that, Swish. You wont even hold hands in public any more. I don't know what I did =*(


Honestly though, not trolling, just stating my opinion on the subject. If you want really long winded then you can solicit me and listen to my rants =D
