Do people actually raid still? I have a 60 epic monk and warrior. Always wanted to finish the epic on my bard but I figured it was impossible to get a white scale and kill Trak now.

Also have a 60 bard, epic rogue, epic but not 60 cleric, and a few SKs 55+ because I couldn't decide which race I wanted to play. Plus a few other assorted 50+ classes, wiz, ranger.

Which guilds are there currently that are able to muster up some raids? I wouldn’t mind checking it out.

I've done that, since there's only like 40 people they're scattered about with only a couple of people in each. Not very clear on who is actually doing raids still.

There's a leveling guild that's getting decent. Not really solo. Groups aren't guaranteed but frequent. Especially 30 up

Its still not an even-remotely-close-to live server experience. Red launch even though it had 600 players wasnt even a live server experience because of xp loss in pvp. Sullon if im not mistaken had xp loss (within 5 levels, just checked) but to me was such a terrible experience (getting one shot by a 45 wiz in blackburrow) that i immediately rolled on Rallos.

I mean again if u wanna solo-ish climb to the end and see practically no one in zones, with no pvp besides getting ganked once in a while by a twink, not knowing if out of the blue red 2.0 is gonna pop and youll end up with toons on a deader-than-dead server, more power to you. But Red to me deserves its shot at a healthy pop and no xp loss from day1 to have at least a couple of months of glorious Rallos-like experience with 300+ players.

Oh I'd prefer a new server. Just stating that red is fun.

I imagine blue is like a crowded day in Disney, while red is like renting the park out and having no lines.

Red pop would grow if people who play solely to pvpv would respect the fact that some people are there predominantly to pve. Too many guys kill a player with no intentions of taking the camp only to linger and camp the corpse, hellbent on wasting hours and preventing play entirely for the other person. No honor or respect in that.

Healthy Pvp is fun sport or a way to strategically control territory. It doesn't have to feel like a hate crime.

If all you ex NTOV gunfighters came back under a "shane" type role and protected the farmers from the land barons, relentlessly hunting the tyrants of the world two things would happen: you'd get challenging equally geared pvp and new players would get exposure while also being able to pve enough to maybe close the gear gap a bit and at least have a mathematical road to victory in a fight.

Pvp is fun but "your" fun doesn't preclude you from being a respectful and decent citizen. We are all playing on the same playground. If you want people to play your game should try to ensure mutual fun or at least not outright misery. The deer hunter kills the buck but leaves the doe to foster future bucks. Some of these guys overfish the waters with all the self control of a fat kid at his mammaws house, the one with the sams club card and all the candy barrels.

I have a badly geared 60 sham and a 40 monk with 3 good items, thats basically it. The only thing preventing me and probably a bunch of others from +1'ing the server is we dont know if out of the blue, 2.0 is going to be announced.
