1. Follow the blue XP path, there's usually people on....particularly around Faydwer/Kunark. 2. See 1. 3. Doesn't happen these days, haven't had that happen to me in ages - are you advertising your location in ooc? 4. Corpse camping isn't legal if you LNS. Put a petition in if they're ignoring it. 5. Who cares? The only people who should give a shit about calling LNS are people who are level 60, good pvpers, and actually have a rep to lose. Nobody expects undergeared characters or new players to be instantly good. Not sure where this concern comes from. | |||

Is it some fear of the loss of control on red? That for every action on blue you can just petition according to a huge set of rules and Uncle Braknar will appear to save you?
Red will make you better at EQ, no doubt about it <3 | ||

Red isn't for whiners and complainers. I think that's one of the reasons people can't handle it. Thankfully there'e comfort in an endless set of rules on blue that keep you nice and safe.
Oh, and people advocating for more rules and more rules on those rules as weeks/months go by. | ||

Not to mention those people who hang at certain levels to avoid lvl 60 pvp to farm newbs leveling. But if you're smart and bond /who to a movement so you don't get jumped red is ok.
One thing no one mentioned is you can box it while you're camping something on blue. | ||

So, what I am seeing is that Blue "competitive" raiders don't find Red raiding attractive, because there's a few people there who actively work to make the game intolerable. Interesting.

Nilbog or Rogean recorded a really good mass pvp fight in Dreadlands a couple of years back when the pop was higher, I'll see if I can find it on youtube. Enabling pvp in blue raid zones would really help A/A to sort out their differences in a hurry if both hate pvp equally. Think about it ^^ | |||

I'll preface this with - different strokes for different folks...
Blue - you end up doing the same thing over and over again. Level up a character to 55+ Dabble in the raid scene Find out it's insane to put in that kind of time/work re-roll a new character to level up... *Personally this was not for me, sure the first time through when red wasn't around it was fun - but doing it over and over again... Not for me. Red - Long hard road, but very rewarding in the end. Level up to 55+ (not easy and definitely can be lonely along the way) Get to casually raid (if that's your thing) from 1-4 days per week 5:30 - 10:30 (depending on time zone). See 98% of the raid content that's out and get geared relatively fast. Be in a casual guild - pvp, get your epic, snag a few smaller targets. Either retire from EQ or continue casual play in whatever fashion you deem fit. * Personally I love the pvp aspect, and along the way I got to see a lot of the things that I didn't in 1999-2002. VP, TOV, Sleepers and I also got to see every raid encounter in the game except Tunare (but let's be realistic - no sane person wants to clear POG). If you want to play the game with out any limitations I would play red, if your just looking to level up and chat in groups over and over go blue (This is from a Casual players mindset). | ||
