And by Red's "community" he means every person you randomly encounter who is within 4 levels of you attacking you immediately.

On Red you better guild up quick. If you aren't on the list, you're on the menu.

If you rolled on blue, consider deleting and starting again. We all make mistakes.

Red needs to beef up the solo exp, you guys have jack for groups. Which basically negates the whole "group exp bonus so much faster to level" claim.

You already level 50% quicker solo on red compared to blue....red is a community experience, you get more out of it when grouping...not to mention you're less vulnerable to an ambush.

Maybe thats where new starters go wrong, they choose (note the word, "choose") to level 1-50 solo but on that journey they get pvp'd and decide to quit. Can't emphasize grouping enough really.

Red hands down.

Pros for blue:

-More people on server
-no fear of getting randomly ganked
-established economy. easy to jump in even new and find some cheap armor upgrades easily


Cons for Blue:

-End game raiding is congested and lots of bickering/fighting. have to do some weird complicated class system. Tougher to raid/get raid loot compared to red.

-If you have a conflict with someone you need to petition or report to GM to handle it. With red you can just kill them usually.


Pros to Red:


-Lvl faster. they put an exp mod on the server so it's pretty nice

-Adrenaline rushes with pvp battles. adds a cool element to the game. can be a con for some.

-Easier to raid. not as much competition.

-Less people. easier to find camps open


Cons for Red:


-Less people. sometimes hard to find grps

-no real established economy. tougher to move items, and to find them.

-Lots of ignorant/racist/hateful remarks in global ooc

-having a global ooc

-one guild basically dominating the whole server



----------------------------


As a whole RED felt more like classic EQ to me in a lot of ways. but the lack of people and toxic shit talking eventually weighed on me. Blue's population is really what keeps me playing. that and all the time and investment I have in my characters. Both servers have their pros and cons but in the end I'd decide if pvp is an element you can't live without and if the answer is yes I'd just play red. If it doesn't matter much to you I'd go blue.
