The thing is, people already know Red exists. You guys have aggressively and constantly spammed the Blue forums for the past several years with these desperate threads where you beg us to play on it. If people liked the idea, they'd come over.

You guys are like Jehova's Witnesses that knock on the same person's doors everyday.

I played on TZ between '99 and '05. Started playing Blue in 2010, and then quit for awhile. Started playing again. regularly in early 2016 on Blue, was able to casually level a monk to 57, before I started playing on Red. It was probably several months before I knew Red existed and about 8 months before I saw a Red recruitment thread which convinced me to give it a shot. I think you under estimate how much people actively know about Red.

I play on both Red and Blue currently and can honestly say I enjoy having the PvP dynamic more than not having it. My only gripe about Red is that there isn't an actual community on it. I remember on TZ when super twinks used to show up in leveling zones for the express purpose of griefing(There is a difference between this and actual PvP) the community would respond. Groups would work together to hunt them down, player and guild reputations were established and spread among the community. This doesn't happen on Red currently, theres just not enough people, and this kind of thing is just ignore or tolerated, which is a shame because there are more decent people than disruptive ones on Red.

So I ask the P99 community, why not give Red a try? Change won't be immediate but it can happen.

As an old TZ'er my experiences with red99 (7 bard/13 druid) here and there have been very limited, but fun for the times I've dabbled:

1) Kill a lowbie gnome in freeport while he's AFK. He gets super mad at me after I tell him gnomes don't belong in freeport and I don't care it was his banker alt he spent the last hour moving around before it was re-bound.

2) Chase the only other person I've seen around my level until they purple clubbed, then /sit on their corpse for a few minutes until I get bored and finish them off.

3) See a twink in range, pick a fight while he's standing around and die almost immediately. He was a good sport about it and I think he gave me stuff.

4) Chase another bard while strafe jumping around west commons for about 15 minutes until he runs into a red con mummy and dies immediately.

5) Druid buffs me up and I go pick fights with people at the orc camps. Druid immediately gets mad at me because I'm attacking his guildies' alts and now they're mad at him. It was good times.

6) Someone asked me to join a newbie leveling guild. When I asked if I could attack guildies they told me it wouldn't be the place for me.

With that said, when I log on to red it's because I'm looking for a fight. I don't go anon/role. It's funny how quickly people would berg out at a half-naked toon attacking them. When I want to do blue things like xp, I'll log on to blue.

I also worry at the amount of people that have resorted to threatening to petition for "oh hey dont attack me when NPCs are on me", "train! petition inc fgt", etc (probably bluebies giving red a shot). I could probably play rule lawyer/ignore them but since it's on the same account as my blue stuff, a suspension/ban on red translates to my blue army (yes, I am that lazy and won't make a new account).

If I played red more regularly I'd probably be one of those "toxic" people, but tbh that's the shit that made live pvp fun for me (no rules/street justice/what's a GM?).

Will scour the red commons/nektulos later tonight, looking for a fight.
