How so? I figured on top of trying to level / group, I'd have to deal with ganking / twinks as other threads have mentioned?

I can see why this rule is there, to prevent people from quad boxing and generally making every spawn camp, KS infested sewage.

The bad thing tho is that my brother and I, who shares the same inet connection cant play together :\

Well you have to understand that they need to be within your PVP range. So there are some people the de-level and grief other players. You'll find this in popular zones like Crushbone and HHK and MM and Unrest and the like. Even things like this are fairly rare.

I rolled Iksar and haven't been PKed one time. I've even challenge people to come PK me that talk shit in OOC and they won't. Kunark is too far to maybe get wrecked by a group. They have no idea if your alone or with a bunch of people.

The major benefit is that popular camps aren't overcrowded and they remain very fun to camp. I started with nothing and asked for nothing on Red but had several people give me plat and one guy gave me a full suit of banded armor which I'm now turning into scaled mystic armor. I'm sure this happens on Blue but frankly that server is overcrowded and the likelihood you run into a dickhead on Blue is far greater.

Long live red99.

So I just made the transition from my laptop to a desktop PC and didn't have any major issues. Yes my desktop purchase was contingent upon me getting EQ to work. I have a problem.


As long as you don't make a 2nd account you will be fine. Besides boxing is so unnecessary here. The community is fucking great. Join red.
you can have as many accounts as you want. You just cant have more then 1 logged on at any given time.

No sure I understand that but why even run the risk? There is literally no point to having a second account unless your doing 1 of 2 things:

Either
a) your boxing

Or

b) you have 8 characters and can't be bothered to delete a single one of them.

Let's be real, there's no point in having a second account unless I am missing something glaringly obvious.

Plenty of reasons to have more then 1 account. You acquired the account while account trading was legal. If you ever get suspended or banned for something you have other accounts to play. If you have friends or family you trust to play your accounts(not against the rules but you are responsible for what happens on the account while others are playing it). Or as you put it you have more then 8 characters. Personally i have 16 toons.

I did read a bit on the red forums... so did I read that correctly though? You could be playing on red and blue at the same time?

Correct you can play on red and blue at same time. 1 account per. The account can be the same for red and blue though.

Yeah man that's totally fine. Like he said above there are some obscure reasons to have more than one account but frankly most people don't want or expect to be banned so they just have a single account.

But do whatever fits your play style man. And join Red. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Very cool, tempted to just to get a taste of that exp bonus. Yea I've already started on blue, and so far the community seems good. But if it's just as good / better at red, why not taste both flavors. I appreciate all the info / input for a returning noobie.

Thanks
