Give Red 10% of your population

[Damn]

Is it just me or are a majority of blue players retarded? Everquest without the option of pvp is dogshit

On a second note if you're thinking of trying red Don't unless you legitimately want to experience everquest pvp these threadspromote the wrong kind of population growth and make us collectively as a community look like desperate grovelling retards

Reboot to classic pls. Loved the server back then.

Velious era is the worst, class balance is just urrrggghhh.

I agree for PvP balance in general; but the problem with classic is that a single batphone guild conquers all the best loot.

Naggy, Vox, Maestro, Innoruuk, Dracho, Cazic, Phinny, Eye of Veeshan

Guild #2/The rest of the server camps Sol B, L guk, and Mistmoore.

I think a classic PvP server with highly variant spawn times on bosses and a no-camp rule in raid areas would be a lot of fun.

Nah, we just gotta fish for 10% here and there. You bring in 10, 1 will see the light and stay.

The rest can continue their blind journey towards loot purgatory. On blue you will always aspire to be better, never to defeat or challenge the best players. After playing the blue server in classic and watching IB take it over, I honestly have no idea why anyone actively plays there.

We, (the red server), need people because it makes the server more balanced and fun. The people who act like children and grief with twinks are few in number but unfortunately very active. The more fresh faces we get to 60 the less bothersome they are.

People grief because there's a lack of sixty pvp beyond kc plugfests and the daily pilgrimage to Sebillis if you're a feign death class or rogue

That's what everquest pvp is though hindering others progression or fun this is also known as grief and if you've ever killed someone you're responsible for it

This whole ideal that we can have a high pop server with sportsmanlike pvp is a pipe dream there never has or will be a server like that

That problem just gets worse with each expansion. At least with Original EQ casters have a lot of competitive firepower solely from vendor-bought spells, since even the best geared people are doing a lot less melee damage and have lower resists as compared to Kunark. The resist system in general needs to be changed, damage spells should never be full resisted in PvP.

It's silly at this point to talk about any specific era because the coding could be changed to anything. Keeping the spirit of Classic Everquest is what matters, not exactly copying an outdated system created multiple decades ago.

Red server is still better than Blue regardless, as long as it has a healthy population, but the population would be way better if the game itself was also better.

No it isn't. Just requires coding to be put in place to make it happen. The reductive "not classic" tunnel-vision needs to go away with regards to PvP server.

This.

Most fun I had on red99 was spending days parked at areas with decent traffic, ie. Sro and NK, just so I could go scuffle with people who zoned in. Pretty sure if I log my enc in there now all I can do to anyone is cast dispel, tash and sieve on them and look at resist messages for everything else.

Also we did some Pvp in arena on blue last week, and omg the melee class fights are even worse. 3 monks tried to gank on me SK, and no ones hp bar was going anywhere since high ac and fungis and mends and SK epic procs just meant the fight was going absolutely nowhere.

Never really got into the big group pvps (euroscum don't get to partake in events with many people present, cuz lag desync poo), but the videos of packs of skeletons doing melee assist trains doesn't really look all that much more interesting.

Blue has the option of pvp, on red it is a mandate.

I played on Tallon Zek from the day the server launched. It was a blast. Unfortunately, your precious "Red99" is not a real PvP server. In order to have a real PvP server you'd need an avg. population of at least 500.

You guys have ruined your own server. Twinks equipped with full best in slot NTOV gear then deleveled to 30 who run around in packs AND have level 60 druids buffing, healing, and porting them. Nobody wants to deal with that nonsense because there aren't enough actual lowbie players to counter it. On TZ, with a 2000+ player population, these uber-twinks didn't last long; they got gangbanged by the 30 other lowbies in the zone and some level 60 would come kill their healbot.

You've griefed so many players off your server, from all level ranges, that its now a ghost town. You've made your bed, now lie in it.

Wouldn't be surprised if many of the people who make these "try Red" threads are the very players controlling those deleveled uber-twinks just looking for some fresh meat to grief.
