Most of us Alders who were on red gave out a little around the holidays but also due to complications with things such as work/school. I think the majority or our red players are on a bit of a break off P99 all together as i haven't seen them on the blue side either. I realize there is some confusion as to why ALS decided to try red so allow me to clarify.

Part of it was to escape the inflation on blue, it's not uncommon to enter a zone only to have it overrun with twinks and PLers. Monks trying to 'help' by attacking our mobs, druids or whatever trying to force powerleveling on us. In some cases we have people deliberately following us trying to get us to take hold outs and break the charter. With red's low population we were able to uphold our charter in a more pure fashion and could play with a peace of mind that we weren't going to be bothered too much because of our play style. Our goal was simply to enjoy the game as we do on blue.

When i had first suggested red i didn't expect it to gain the traction that it did but I'm glad there are some of us that were able to enjoy it. Personally i really like red and it's small population means you can really get to know people and form strong bonds overtime with the people you meet. However much like blue once you get to the higher levels you start to see the rotten side of the server. I understand why certain people would want to keep up-and-coming guilds from accessing certain content on a pvp server; to keep themselves in control as top dogs. I believe that's why we had been trained several times once we reached those higher levels. We didn't mind the PvP at all really, and quite enjoyed the thrill. However the underhanded tactics being used by some players was a big turn off.

That all being said though we still have an interest in red and will likely make a comeback sometime in the future if and when we get enough interested in it again.

This guild played on red and then all got jobs or went back to school. Red is savings lives people.

Dude didn't specify who trained him, so it's a bit of a leap to conclude that it was Apex. I don't remember seeing any ALS members up to the numbers and gear necessary to contest anything Apex cares about, or even Sanctuary really. Prolly just random griefing more than a true guild conflict.

Just assuming it was Apex considering their history.

I'm not sure anyone in this guild ever made it to 32 in this guild so I'm innocent if this guild fails.

Then i logged on my secret lowbie twinks and helped them level. i even used multiple porters that would just arrive when we decided to move. I got these guys in pvp range only to get trained by the usual suspects. I tried so hard. Sorry ALS

you're a great guy man I love this post.
