I'm being handed a special report as we speak.

This just in. Red server has been confirmed to be hundreds of times more fun and superior than the blue server. Blue server refugees have been seen traveling in droves to the red server borders. Many have been reported to be enjoying the ruthless killing of fellow players. I'm now being told that the blood of Norraths dragons has been spilled so frequently on the red server that crews of gnomish clockworks have been contracted to clean the landscape.
It's amazing. Its something that this blue server reporter has never seen nor heard before. Its grizzly stuff people. Keep that dial locked in there will undoubtedly be more to report.

Can confirm^ no prof needed

Why are the GM's so interested in keeping Red alive?

This is a horrible troll question.

Red is a lot of fun.

[Juevento]

Imagine all the fun of red, but with coding that allowed for you to have team mates that you couldn't harm with friendly fire and could depend on not to be a dick and gank you.

Wtb teams server. But in the meantime, red is ok.

Re-posting my I love Red post...still applies. I haven't played much of anything lately due to RL but Red was a blast and I would still highly recommend it.

----

Let me preface this with saying that I am fairly well known on the server as a trusted and neutral party in most things, so before you rage and flame, actually read what I have to say. Then feel free to rage and flame.


I know I know...another Dead99 thread on the Blue forums. Let me apologize in advance as till a week ago I felt the same way as you. Who cares about Red?

But wait! Between being bored out of my skull on blue and the new changes to Red (no XP loss to PVP death, PNP rules enforced, +-4 Lvl PVP range, ~280% XP Bonus in a full group), I recently decided to give it a try.


I have been pleasantly surprised to say the least.


-People have been more helpful and friendly on Red than you see on Blue.

-Chat has been fine, a little shit talking but that's part of PVP, they are banning people for any racial slurs etc in chat that has driven a lot of us away from Red. So far, Red chat has been tamer than Blue. I think I've seen “you mad” once.

-Group XP bonus is INSANE...seriously...2% - 3% a kill in a full group last night. ~280% XP Bonus in a full group.

-As far as Griefing goes I have not experienced it yet. I had a monk chase me around Kurns for a bit but was able to double zone and hide to lose him. (didn’t have my spells for current level and he was yellow)

-And finally Raiding...while I haven’t had a chance to get this far on Red personally, I have seen the PvP text and spoke with raiders and with very little variance on Red, raiding basically comes down to the raiding guilds squaring off prior to the mob spawning and having a massive battle to decide who gets the kill. This sounds like a lot more fun than FTE Jav spam personally, or a rotation for that matter.





As you can see, my PVP has been pretty limited so far. Mostly this is due to the fact that anyone who can PVP with you (+-4 Lvls) is who you want to group with to get that sweet sweet bonus XP.

Which pretty much makes Red99 a Blubies PVE paradise. No waiting hours for camps, AC wanders around and dies to NPCs, Verina Tomb up for days on end in Nek...

The ONLY downside to Red at this point is the low population, but even with that there is almost always one group in each of the hot dungeons and they invite ANY class due to the new XP bonus mechanics. Now is the time to roll that Hybrid you have always wanted but didn’t due to XP penalty and the fact that no one wants you in a group due to it.

Now is the time to roll anything you want here really, you can still box your blue character while playing on red. So sit in the tunnel making fat stacks on Blue while you play Red. You will not regret it.

Many gains are being had on Red99. There are no waits for things. Just gains.

The population is rising, people are around in noob zones, lots of higher levels willing to help, and the concerns or problems many have with rolling here are being resolved DAILY.

Fun times, pals. Come on over.

[myriverse]

Forced beta solved some problems. It caused a drop in Blue pop by 200, and a rise in Red by 20.

[SCB]

Rolled a bard to give it a try. Can't level past 4 because there are no other low level players I can find [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
