How do you do it pals?

From someone who Only played PVP on live for years... It's actually really nice going care ear. EQ pvp was always terrible anyways.
Not carrying cash, not wearing items and not looking over your back, or getting rooted while soloing and dying and expect death... Opposed to the only benefit.. Killing sockers.

play eq with no pvp option

Not being able to kill sockers and people who grief must be extremely frustrating

Same way I refrain from killing people in line at Chipotle or wherever.

Omg I just spewed my coffee reading this, and my wife just doesn't understand

Having a pvp option only helps when you can kill the person in your way. So outside of being over geared or playing a handful of classes, YOU will be the one getting killed and removed from YOUR camp and not the other way around.

Playing in Blue is like living in the Real World. You don't kill people that cut you off on the road, jump in front of you in line, don't shoot the person that takes the last Energy Drink you like in front of you at the gas station!!

It is sort of how we live our normal lives. There are nice people and some Asshats.

Now when you play Red most people think they are Ted Bundy and want to kill and eat everyone. Well sorry, that is NOT the real world. It's a made up world where you get to live out your twisted, made up, I want to kill anything that walks dreams. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So yeah most of us are normal here on Blue, and really don't want anything to do with Red. So go back to your wet dreams. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Its really not a big deal till 55+ and you start raiding. You grind mobs, make friends, and if you're smart stay out of the easy zones that get packed. Like 15 zones in this game are crowded the rest only have a handful of soloers or plers. Go to these unpopular zones and have fun don't fight over 5 mob camps in mistmoore when you have the rest of the world.

People are generally more than willing to share although I'm only level 52 and haven't gone anywhere near a truly poopsocked and camped area. PvP seems like an interesting idea, but for someone really playing EverQuest for the first time (this is the highest I've ever gotten) I have no idea where to start. I'd also say that the brief glimpse I've had into people on red (via these forums) isn't particularly appealing. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This is laughable my friend lol (this is not a flame)

Red would see an exponential increase in population if it managed to even hit 500-600 average population. The population is still just too low to attract people. The low population has more to do with the timing of the launch of P99 Red and less to do with the fact that people "don't like PvP"

While leveling on Red you won't even see PvP for a long time due to the low population. A lot of the social aspects of the game are lost not because its PvP but simply because there is a lack of people with whom to interact.

I also believe the whole "Bluebie" argument is perfectly valid. The fact of the matter is that most of the players who play Blue really aren't great at EQ and really don't give a shit. The definition of "hardcore" on Blue is not being an excellent player and challenging yourself. "Hardcore" on Blue is poopsocking for 12 hours at a time (which requires 0 skill, just time) or leveling your 5th alt at Chardok (0 skill, way too much time and non-playing of EQ) and a great deal of the players are wannabes who came from other more recent MMOs. These players have no interest in adding another dimension of challenge and depth to the game, they just want their "nanna-nanna-boo-boo" cash camp rule lawyering and Forumquest. TL-DR : nubs

I have seen a deeply disturbing amount of sociopathic behavior in my years on this server. Blue players are -no better- than Red players. That claim is absolutely ludicrous. I'd say they're worse because they want to lay claim to their pixels they will create and abide by self-imposed and negotiated rules that have nothing to do with the actual mechanics of the game im order to rule lawyer their way out of everything. They do this for ----years----- instead of going over to Red where they just don't have to deal with that bullshit at all.

This is by no stretch of the imagination "normal" behavior, let's get real.

Wow why are you so salty about this? People have fun playing blue and people have fun playing red.
