Blue and Green have been tremendous successes, what's next for Project1999 ?

Yeah anyone who is saying red is anything but the chillest everquest server on the market right now is out of their damn minds.

Zero competition for anything, just a buncha people who either like PVP enough to play pvp even if its empty, or are just happy questing around with a smaller population since they wouldn't be interacting with anyone but guildies anyways.

I'm kinda wishy washy. I almost played today and looked at my characters, then I was going to try TAKP but couldn't think of a forum name because I don't know what character I would roll in a POP era locked server. Halfling ranger? So I just realized I shouldn't be spending the time.

I contemplated logging on my 56 necro and realized I didnt want to solo or group with warm bodies in KC so I played Starcraft 2 CoOp commanders instead. I saw there was a new season on Diablo 3 and almost made a barbarian.... but ultimately decided to watch Monday Night Raw instead (I'm surprisingly enjoying WWE since this last Wrestlemania).

I'm going to assume this is a joke. You're either flat out lying or being disingenuous. I leveled my druid to 52 (his name is Efurion) and no guilds outside of Prowl want anything to do with anyone. Not to mention people are incredibly vitriolic. The only joy Red99ers have is ruining the game for others. That's it. I watched a group of 4 legit noobs get griefed hard by two twinks who sat around killing them (I tried to explain LnS, but the noobs didn't see to understand), so the two kept killing them over and over as they tried to get their corpses in Befallen. It was sad. They started complaining in /ooc and everyone just started shitting on them. It was legitimately sad that new players get treated like that, and not a single person beside myself said anything to the griefers but "lawl" and "pras it" and "go back to blue", etc. Stop with the propaganda and let Red99 die like it should.

Probably has more to do with you than you realize.

The truth is if you flip out and fly into a rage @ pvp or for any reason rly. you may as well wear a kick me sign on ur back in pvp.

I recommend rolling a few alts and just doing those for a bit on the rare occurrence u die to pvp or get raid wiped.

Like I said it's super chill. Especially if u make friends and are just logging in to have fun. If you got some serious obsession with being free to sit on a single mob indefinitely. U will never enjoy EQ.

No matter where u play.

Hope that helps 🙏

The ability to shit box someone with PVP is the only real answer to games like EQ (else you end up with UNs and many pages of rules). However, I could not imagine playing EQ on a PVP server due to how time-consuming dying is.

If you respawned in whatever zone you died in or respawned fully equipped...I mean maybe then, but even so it would just be a grief fest.

Hence alts. Just log in a fresh character. Keep playing like u never died. Gg.

This was my Red experience too. Leveled a Wiz up to 54 and it was pretty toxic most of the way up. I don't know about now but during my leveling process all the popular xp zones were regularly and constantly crawled by delvl'd raid gear twinks starting in CB through unrest/mistmoore and even into CoM. You bring this shit up and all the R99 apologists call you a liar or act like you're exaggerating. It's kinda funny. Red is NOT welcoming to new people and that's definitely part (certainly not all) of why it's a dead server. The main reason is cause EQ PvP is kinda shit but that's besides the point.

Another hyperbolic set of excuses. Guy is a badass IRL on red, just Another girl tho. 🤏🤣🧑*🦯🫂

For sure. I could go into time after time that I had really shitty stuff happen to me while leveling my druid.

I used to park in random zones to med/take a break, and people would find me always, even in places where no one ever goes, some random warrior or rogue would appear and be attacking me, that just happened to be in PvP range. And of course people lied and said "oh we have alts camped in every zone" and pretend like they spend their time online just logging in random characters in every zone constantly that just so happens to match your level range. Mind you I don't have a level 60 on R99.

I was once running through Overthere, only person in the zone, and all of a sudden a gnome wizard appeared under me in the middle of the zone as I ran through and nuked me before I could get out of range. His reply was "I was bound right under you", really? In the middle of Overthere? In a zone that only had me in it? A short time later a level 1 messaged me and said some people use MQ (whatever the hell that is, some program I assume) to warp to players locations then logged off.

When I was in my early 40s I was killing HGs in Rathe and as always checking /who constantly, and noticed someone had zoned into Rathe (when in that zone I usually check /who just as fast as possible since I have plat on me) within at least a second or two of them zoning in, and only a few seconds after that the dark elf wizard found me back in one of the corners. Unless he had bard speed and track, there's no way he legit found me that quickly.

Luckily for me in every case by the wizard in OT I escaped alive, but it proves that people cheat with impunity on R99.

The de-leveling trick sounds nasty

When I playing in SZ I didn’t notice that as much but it was right when the server launched. I think there you only got a reward for killing someone within a certain level range of yourself. So what I saw people doing is rolling with a crew of lev 50+ friends who would debuff/disable the target and then lower it to as low of hp as they could without killing it, then their friend who is within the level range would get the killing blow
