Tell me, have you ever thought about trying red server?

Gotta get them while they're fresh and uninitiated.

I love Swish, but the first thing you need to do is NEVER ROLL RED.

They'll straight up kill you, and loot your money. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Which would be fine if there were more than 50 people rolling around there. I tried red, back at launch and for months afterwards, when there actually was a "decent population." I got to the 50s, had fun, but all in all it can never and will never capture the feel of classic Everquest pvp like RZ and SZ. Classic EQ pvp wasnt tainted by the disturbing type of neckbeard sub species that for some reason has gravitated towards what we know as Red 99.

It was, you just didn't notice because there was a large population of non-basementy people that diluted the poison.

the 'no chatting' thing always baffled me in newer MMOs. Why don't people feel compelled to talk?

Maybe you just want to finish this dungeon quickly and get back to doing ___________, so you neglect socializing in order to speed up the process. Oh shit, you didn't get that drop you wanted, better do the dungeon again, but faster this time because you really have to go and do that thing sitting in the back of your mind. Whoops, no drop again, but hey you did it two minutes faster than last time. If only the tank didn't stop to talk so much between pulls. Maybe the next tank will be more focused on the task at hand. Oh yeah, five minutes faster that time, the whole group was on point.

and so on. WoW is just a series of effortless routines. There's no danger, no risk in wiping; it's easy to zone out and play the game like a zombie, and socializing gets in the way of burning through those routines. Once you build up those habits, they're hard to break, if you even want to break them in the first place, since breaking them will reduce your pixel hunting efficiency.

Oh, red is fine if you're not overly sensitive and like to make fun! ^^ If you expect rely on others to define your experience though, then yes, you will be disappointed on red. I've encountered more unmanageable personalities on blue than red ^^ Population is low though :/

But we're thrilled that Red99 exists so that sub-species stays the hell off Blue [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Because blue only has intelligent and emphatic people with well-rounded lives.
