Bluebies irritate me when they think they are good at video games and they face some kinda adversity or challenge.

Tbh u could get ur char moved there but you will stop wanting to play. Can't get past lvl 20 on blue no matter how hard I try.

Being tempted to log in would be an advantage over my current interest in Red right now.

I don't have a vested interest in Red (beyond the fact that EQ PvP can be cool with the right population), and haven't had one since TMO failed spectacularly trying to get situated there. My Rogue is from that era of TMO leveling characters up together.

I'd much rather be on Blue, where I could potentially play the game with that Rogue compared to Red right now where I cannot.

It is entirely viable to play that rogue right now.

I don't think one rogue to 55 meets the minimum for entering the chat "on the red experience", and I mean that as nicely as it can be said.

To be fair, I don't think the 'red experience' is a thing anymore. Any PVP'er that is serious will have moved to any of the other 'drugbox' style severs (devn00b, rise of zek, vztz, etc) instead of playing here.

This is an absolute fact. There's some level of cognitive dissonance with Red99 players that their server is still a viable game to play on.

Most serious 'red' players are waiting for the next schmuck to attempt a custom pvp server so they can roll on it for a few weeks after months of hype and quit until the next one. That's the cycle they are doomed to repeat - mainly because EQ PvP is a very niche category to begin with, and there's only like, say, a handful of serious EQ PvPers that are even willing to play EverQuest, let alone on an emulator.

I get the thought here - but simply put, I would not have an enjoyable experience on Red with my Rogue. I would on Blue, due to the population, availability of groups, and potential to complete raid content.

I think ultimately you are correct. The only people really on red are people who want a solo/extremely less populous blue/green. There aren't enough people to fight to call it a PVP Server, and most of the people who are EQ pvpers are seasonal/transient/forum dwellers.

Curious what it is that you would do on blue with your rogue that you couldn't do on red?

  • Play the game with other people
  • Walk through zones that aren't empty
  • Do whatever you want without being griefed by a full raid geared neckbeard or de-lvl'd alt
  • Actually be able to buy/sell/trade things with other players
  • Have more than 1 guild to choose from for endgame activity (no matter how trivial)

Could keep going if u want but I think that's enough to make the point

Pretty much this, yeah.
