You'll get mad, you'll wish you could do something to stop people stealing mobs from your camp, you'll petition an already stressed Eunomia/Moregan/etc.

Not being twinked and not having a group in my back pocket means I can't do anything to stop those players if I play red either.

Red Lesson #3 - make friends! If you're someone who logs on red to play SoloQuest you won't enjoy it as much compared to grouping and joining a guild. I appreciate the irony of that given the lower pop compared to blue but red is moving up in population.

Keep away from Crushbone and Mistmoore, and already your survival chances greatly improve. Those few fungi twinks are lazy, if they log in and nobody is there to kill they'll log out again rather than roaming much beyond those areas.

Also remember that you can trade blue plat for red plat if you really don't want to be day 1 naked...but part of red's charm is the fresh start and getting to grips with pvp mechanics if you dont know much about them. My first real taste of EQ pvp was P99 red and there is nothing that beats the buzz of that first pvp kill... experience that and I guarantee you'll have a taste for it.

Then message the guy you killed, say good fight... and carry on about your business [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

3) Wtf does "Pras" mean? It's spammed all day in OOC and my only guess is its like some slang for "praise" as in, "I like what just happened."

Thanks.

Starting with Red Beta, a Troll Shadowknigt named Lulz Sect would constantly roleplAy in OOC:

"PRAiS
PraS
PrAiS CT"

Lulz would illustrate his devotion to CT incessantly (praise) chanting to CT, much to the chagrin of the playerbase. Somehow the nuisance troll prayer caught on and became box
language.

I have no interest in causing other players distress, so player killing is not something I want to do. Similarly, I have found no exhilaration when another player gets me killed.

If I played on a PvP server, it would be in spite of the PvP, not because of it. The reduced population is basically the only benefit I can see, a benefit the Red community seems hellbent on eliminating through this constant recruitment.

Red probably isn't for you Bweetza if you don't enjoy pvp in games... blue will always be there. People struggling to find things to kill this weekend though.

Not really (at least in my experience).

It's been busy but people seem pretty spread out for the most part. I think a lot of people are just starting new characters because the newbie zones seem totally loaded. Had a few friends that were in Unrest for about 2 hours and got 2.5 levels. I was in CB with 11 people for about an hour and a half to two hours and I got a level and a half.

Maybe the 30s or something is where it's at.

CoM/KC/Seb/HS/Chardok/Kedge/The Hole all very full last night.

if I wanted pvp I'd go back to playing Eve :P

Because Excel is so much fun. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I heard everyone got banned from Eve, the red community is for clean whistles only.
