Would you ever honestly go to red server?

First thing I did was block out ooc, now if I could block out YT I might consider playing.

Leave just OOC as a filter to the main window and minimize it, then move everything else into other windows as you like.

See you in Gfay [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Red needs a lot of fixes imo.

Practically every aspect of PVP is broken (melees hit nearly every time with a huge hitbox, fire/ice spells land pretty much every time regardless of resists). Aside from screwing up melee/caster balance, I really dislike making PVP more offensive because it penalizes skilled players.

all getting fixed within the next few days with the patch thanks to god-king haynar

I don't like item loot at the high end, but I definitely would support it for twinks. Like if you have a fungi in your inventory somewhere and you are <= L35 or so, they can loot one item.

I think there should be a penalty for griefing lowbies. It sucks they have no risk, but are rewarded with coin drop. But the people getting ganked have risk, but no reward. Essentially creating no-risk content for pker's. Really lame. This is why coin loot is stupid. But whatever, I'm a little more hardcore than everybody. Just my own opinion. I know a lot of people dont like item loot. Item loot is really the only way to balance twinks and pvp in general.

That was the one really cool thing about Rallos. People went out of their way big time for No Drop items. If you plugged, your toon was there online using auto attacks with rare spell use into their doom. Guilds like Flowers of Happiness would post glorious screenshots of ripping off someone's choice item, and then negotiating the sale of the item back to the victim. That was great stuff.

People routinely wore quest drop crap like http://wiki.project1999.com/Shin_Greaves and yeah, I had fun with it.

I've lol'd at every post by Argh in this thread

Been playing on Red since I had already rolled a bardling there prior.

Its honestly not as bad as people make it sound, but that doesn't mean its great either. You'll run into way more twinks and deleveled toons than people here would have you believe, but Most of them are going to kill you once then leave you alone, then probably chat with you.

The frustration comes from getting a group of 4 or 5 naked lowbies together and being killed over and over by the same one or two people, who wont chat or emote after slaughtering you, and take your newbie coppers. Let alone when they follow you around.. and the rage builds when said people are in supposedly newbie-friendly guilds... not that I'm still bitter or anything.

Just don't take it seriously though, you'll eventually group with the people ganking you and many lols will be had.

The whole Red Vs Blue thing is a joke though. On blue you collect pixels and make alts/farm for alts in perpetuity; On Red you collect pixels and make alts/farm for alts to gank people with worse gear than you. Which is more sad depends on your outlook on life... and IMO is why Red will never appeal to most EQ'ers... Still fun both ways, though.

pvp solves most of the issues that people cry about daily on the blue server with minimal GM intervention

I only got room for 1 EQ in my life and I want to pay as little attention to it as possible while still progressing.
