For the TLDR minded forum browser on why Red, will never be good. It's a shitty PVE box where you deal with no people, and low standard of intelligence people like Twainz who are there basically to fulfil their purpose to yap his fat gums on discord for 5 hours.

Son, I haven't played Red in a year. Wild you still bringing me up after your berged yourself out of a good guild. Keep making terrible servers that no one wants to play.

[Zahovoon]

I was talking about Red actually, and how 3-4 days a week raiding 4-5 hrs is unbearable because some people like you are there to socialize, and I'm there to win and rub tunes nose in it lol. I really don't care much about you personally.

Also Love. The power of the snub has no effect on me, I do it for the love of EQ, but if I'm being honest my box is amazing lol. Mechanics and content are running perfectly.

If no one plays I'll keep fixing it and blogging to myself. Keep playing Red I don't care I played it lots. ROT is total garbage I don't know how they do it, but Red99 I get it at least.

That's how I am I shit talk and act like a retard, I expect it back, I dunno why people are so sensitive, lots of boomers here? I don't care though I'm right about almost everything and I'm right about Red.

I'll never play Red again after Lewis app'd GM, he broke the one line I think that is really unfortunate, but doesn't surprise me and I don't really miss it. The guy played in Nihilum and Holocaust when Red dropped though, does it really surprise anyone that he can wear many faces?

[Zahovoon]

For the record Twainz or Colgate could come on my box and shit it up, shit talk me, call me crazy, etc and I wouldn't consider retaliation, I live for it, I love this shit.

A box for the people.

[Zahovoon]

The thing with Red99 and people, and my Box and people. Is the content is much easier in Kunark, and you don't need that many reasonably competent people, you just need like 3-4 good people running a few boxes and all Kunark is relatively trivial and chill.

Red is simple and chill also, but Cleric chains will fuck up, or tanks will fuck up basically. So it's easymode with more chances to screw up with critical people. Just waste of time fuck ups someone standing in a wrong spot or doing something dumb pulling etc will delay it a lot.

On my box you're not as tied into having to deal with all the retards, you don't need 7 clerics 4 tanks 15 dps, basically every single person playing the server to do a raid. The population just doesn't support Red the way it needs to for that style of box either, and the people there are just the evaporated scum lining the bottom a pool or something. That's why 90% of the content stays untouched, if not higher 95%. I mean I'm not wrong sorry guys.

Long one got a bit rambly THOUGHTS FROM THE DEV.

[Zahovoon]

The whole single box is a joke too, imagine being one of those Shamans I forget their names I liked them both actually fuck I'm so bad with names.

Show up to a raid and just buff relentlessly for 4-5 hours, single box. Just shoot me.

[Zahovoon]

All the people I fought on Red that were good, like Useful, Ordaga, etc all had full buffs everytime we fought, and would load in green clerics and shit to CHEAL out of range lol. Then there's me, jboots. It's just a sham anyway everyone was boxing like a mutha fucka.

[Zahovoon]

Sorry I am going hard today, just coffee Love sorry to disappoint you.

Raiding on Red in a nutshell is administrative work, you need to make sure you have enough Clerics and they know what they're doing. Oh shit one of them is drunk he's fucking up waste of time. Tanks do you have defensive are you ready, oh you forgot to click defensive you died. Oh the Cleric didn't heal you died, wipe. 30-45 mins rebuffing.

Also Raid times no one showed up on time, routinely an hour late to get started because no one parked, or gave a shit.

It's really just dealing with retards. That's what it felt like to me. I am sorry like, it was a good guild or whatever but it's not my cup of tea, so fuck it I'll go make what I want.

Where my box really lacks is credibility, and trust. Which I'm not sure if I can gain it, maybe if I'm the only box left, or people get tired of shitty of boxes being run by retards? Tough 2 say. I think the box is finished product now at least with fine tuning left. So there's that. Everytime I try this it gets better and better and maybe the tire kickers will stick around, maybe not. There won't be anymore wipes though I am sticking to that, this is the final vision I always wanted. I would do Teams but Bamzal kinda said for 0 people playing nawwww lol.
