The primary reason Tune is trying to recruit on red and get more players is the guild is basically dead. The rest of the server has combined to stop them from doing 80% of the available content, they tried to lash out and take old dragons like sev/fay and PD etc to cut off the other guild to no avail(they have lost PD every time)

It is true they all have alts geared with ToV loot, some with primal too. But you won't ever have that gear, You will be talked into boxing a cleric they already own while playing a rogue or something they need on raids. They have a bunch of geared toons they give out access to for members to risk boxing so they can get pixels. As of the last 3-4 months they have been starved out of top end vulak pixels, cannot kill AoW let alone tunare(not even klandi or zlandi!!). They are desperate to get anyone they can to come cuck for them for a bunch of loot they would be letting rot or put on alt #10 any way.

Red is simple, if you aren't 60 and already decked you either hide and login only for raids in apex, sit around for hours while your pulls get screwed up and your clerics die to PVP before raid is called and you realize your just getting dkp to spend on kunark/classic mobs. If you are even lucky enough to get any help doing scout, factioning, farming quest armor or whatever with no strings attached other then guildies helping out you are super lucky.

You will never be inner circle <Apex> so you will always be looked down upon, and loot will go to core alts before you because there is such high paranoia on red mainly in Apex officer/leadership that they have kicked multiple people this month simply because they were thought to be spying. (who needs to spy on a dead server when basically everyone has a friend in each guild and knows whats going on?)

Cold hard facts starting on red, even with apex help:

You will have no one to play with until 8pm EST raid time, so if you arent 46+ or probably 58+ they might not even let you raid)

There is no one to talk to in game, every camp is empty. Feel free to solo PoM or your entire VP key 24/7 while being killed by your own guild mates on untagged alts.

Could go on and on, red is dead. Do not join the red server, you will not find what you are looking for, not even quick easy pixels as promised by OP.

This poster is mad that he ninja looted a manarobe and got kicked out of Apex. He has been trying to slander/grief Apex ever since.

Note, manna robes are roughly 15k plat on red server. I had 800k plat at the time, Above apex member is just mad I speak the truth. Manna robe sat for a week while I was unable to login, upon getting back on the guild leader @OP asked me if I had the manna robe. I jokingly did a /me does not have a <manna robe link> on him within minutes as we gathered to slay the mystical dragon that harasses the othmirs of cobalt scar.

He was already in full mental break down/anti spy mode at this time, and had never lead a serious raid guild. So he totally over looked the fact I did multiple Manna Robe links in emote, say, group and shout. I gave it to a warrior at the raid to pass to him when they ran off to do scout. TLDR: gave manna robe to another guildmate, not sure if it ever made it to the guild bank. but they blackhole stuff all the time worth more then 10-15k plat.

Truth about what happened: I was fully geared from the previous guild who woke reds sleeper and had my primal and most of the loot I needed minus 2-3 pieces. One piece, vulak dagger that it took 8 months from the date of removal for the guild to get, that quoted poster has(he wanted me out of the way for competition he had primal but shitty gear so I would've had 10x the DKP he did by time the good loots dropped and he would have taken aback seat for a while) Lots of the officers, and majority of the guild that made up the full time players didn't like me. As such they were the former resistance, they farmed lodizal and VP for months after I left their guild on bad terms to join the glorious <Empire> and get showered in pixels.

Upon gaining loots such as primal, kromzek crown, dain belt and numerous other items. It only made their hatred grow more and more. So finally when we were all guilded back together again, obviously its a small server and toxic people stay toxic. I was the top dps rogue in the guild, and usually did DPS equal to 4-5 of their rogues. So I got a solo kill on a golem in Fear while an --OFFICER-- gave me his AoN to click before hand.

After linking the crappy loot the golem dropped, one hater screamed out in teamspeak "HES A SKELETON LOOK AT HIM, AON DROPPED HES FUCKING TRYING TO NINJA LOOT IT" to which officers said "ok guys calm down, we will petition a GM and check what loot dropped now kill him". I managed to pull my epic at 1% and avoid the embarrassment of YT. Only to be sent a tell after they realized again, I did majority of the dps and was still holding numerous droppable loots they wanted back including the officers AoN(yes an officer of the guild and one other basically set this all up for kicks) but guild was so high strung over loot at the time even after my removal, they lost 3-4 more prime raiders over AoNs before declaring it a DKP item not officer awarded

Mind you this guilds policy was Tabula Rasa, everything done in the past was forgotten(i knew a week into joining it wasn't because of the grudges people still harbored but this is how red is mind you) So basically over some 10k plat item and an AoN freakout they did the best thing by guild removing me. As I joined another guild that raided casually, hung out and did stuff together whenever we wanted with no schedules. After about 5 months of never seeing <Apex> outside of ToV and together in 60 man raids. Once they had full gear + primals, they finally started showing their faces to try and pvp on these decked out toons(OP 60 SK, dozekar/vulak loot(s) and more, still terrible cant kill anyone). Quoted poster, vulak dagger near bis velious still gets dunked by a kunark geared mithril rogue makes excuses.

Spend 7-8 months of raiding dkp to get 3 pieces of loot(I was 100% RA in every raid guild ive been in since I have no life), I was gladly ready to re-raid velious and help teach this content after beating it all in my previous guild. Super happy I was forced to leave and then sit and watch as they struggled over the easiest of raids. 7 months down the line I would have had to wait for vulak loot. Mind you, with 33 people and most of their dps with primal they still wiped in VP to PD, SW, even druushk somehow.

So my epic tale of red, Yeah its dead except to the existing players with 60s. Don't come and join apex. If you are even thinking or wanting to try to play red, Go look up Thunderdome. You will enjoy the server more, not be voice tested + IP checked numerous times to see if anyone recognizes your voice or IP as a spy as in Apex. VPNs = auto kick. Who knows they may even require you to submit a photo ID and proof of address with some utility bills now to prevent spies.

I should add, Tune originally made a post about a blue xfer named Hekktor. Who he dubbed "best blue transfer ever, 1-60 in a week bla bla bla) dude got his sleepers key, decked out. Now tune 'owns' the account, Hekktor was fake to begin with. Never existed. Tunes 100% RA rogue "Hekktor" was Tune boxing as a new app to get more loot and propaganda. He also 'inherited' many other accounts, including Ferel(60 cleric he told the guild NEEDED to be BIS velious geared to help heal the guild, getting gear dkp free while spending dkp on his SK to PVP, something a few of the officers caught on and did to get double item loots one free one paid) PS he charge backed Ferel for $750 afterwards.

tldr x2: RED IS DEAD, CHECK THE NUMBERS, LOGIN READ OOC IF MUST. RUN OVER TO STORMFEATHER AND FIND HIM UP 75% OF THE TIME.

end wall of text. Grats Apex on vulak! not.

Can this be moved to off-topic or to Red server chat, it has nothing to do with P99 Blue.

lol $750 for a red account

someone has more money than sense

i enjoy red a lot, but only BECAUSE the pop is so low. i have a group of IRL friends and we can log into red and group together and get great exp. the low pop means we can actually dungeon crawl and go after specific drops.

no tunnelquest, no having to farm plat to buy stuff because all of the good camps/drops are on 24/7 lockdown, no sitting in the same spot for hours because every half-decent zone is packed. playing it this way, with a small group of friends and entire zones to ourselves, feels a lot more like how EQ was meant to be played when it was first designed (before it blew up and server populations were crazy).

so, please, don't play red. stay away from it! #keepredpoplow

Neither does this subforum. It is "General community." Blue doesn't have its own forums :/

In fairness red accounts are limited edition collectors' items.

I started playing on Blue first before switching to Red. The main reason I left blue was a lack of camps and the exp grind. For those making the switch the exp boost is awesome: I went from 47 - 49 in a full group in KC in about 2 hours.
